== Overview ==
=== Biography ===
Viscous is commonly referred to as a "tourist".<ref>{{PageRef|name=Vyper}}'s in-game [[Vyper/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Viscous): ''"I swear to God, that is the first tourist I have legitimate guilt about killing."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Mina}}'s in-game [[Mina/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Viscous): ''"Tourists..."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s in-game [[Victor/Quotes#Enemies|voice lines]] (Killed Viscous): ''"This isn't the place for tourists."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Holliday): ''"I hate fighting a fellow tourist."''</ref> While on the surface, he wants to watch [[wikipedia:South_Pacific_(musical)|South Pacific]],<ref>{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Unselect|voice line]] (Unselect): ''"The Patrons can wait. I want to see South Pacific."''</ref> free his "brothers" from New York's aquariums,<ref>{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Unselect|voice line]] (Unselect): ''"I'm going to go free my brothers from the prison known as 'The Aquarium'."''</ref> try climbing some stairs in his goo body,<ref>{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Unselect|voice line]] (Unselect): ''"I was planning on trying to use stairs today anyway."''</ref> and visit a variety of locations in New York, including Staten Island, Long Island, New Jersey and Secaucus.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Unselect|voice line]] (Unselect)</ref>

Unlike Viscous, the other denizens of the Deep find legs "unnerving".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Select|context=(select)|transcription=Most of my kind find legs to be unnerving, but I rather enjoy them.}}</ref>

=== Personality ===
Viscous is innocent and optimistic, eager to learn about the surface world and make new friends, and likes to compliment others.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Lady Geist|number=3|hero_quote1=Viscous|quote1=I don't have a nose, but if I did, I bet your hair would smell like flowers.}}</ref><ref name=":5" /> He's "socially awkward" and unfamiliar with the customs of human society.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Abrams|number=1|hero_quote1=Viscous|quote1=I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just socially awkward!}}</ref> However, he takes his mission to stop the [[Adversary]] very seriously, as noted by {{HeroIcon|Seven}}.<ref name=":4">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Seven|number=3|hero_quote1=Viscous|quote1=The Adversary. He comes for the Deep. And if I don't stop him, he'll come for everything.|hero_quote2=Seven|quote2=There's more to you than I expected, Viscous.}}</ref> He believes that others underestimate him and the problems of the [[The Deep|Deep]].<ref name=":2">{{PageRef|name=Viscous}}' in-game [[Viscous/Quotes#Select|voice line]] (Select): ''"I was hoping that this suit would make people take the problems of the Deep seriously. I'm not sure it's working."''</ref><ref name=":3" />

Viscous often speaks in a very literal way.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|context=(unkillable ally Abrams)|transcription=Abrams is a killing machine! But not a literal machine. Because he's made of flesh and bone. But you can't see the bone. It's under his skin.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Shiv)|transcription=I couldn't let Shiv kill me, because then I'd be dead.}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Haze)|transcription=Haze won't hurt us anymore. Until she's back, then she'll probably shoot us.}}</ref> The concept of sarcasm seems to be new to him.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Enemies|context=(killed Lash)|transcription=Sorry, Lash! That was sarcasm. I'm not actually sorry.}}</ref>

Viscous enjoys violence, which surprises him.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes|context=(kill)|transcription=I never realised violence would be so exciting!}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Viscous|quotes=Viscous/Quotes#Kill Enemy Hero|context=(melee kill)|transcription=Who would have thought that punching strangers would feel so good?}}</ref>

Viscous likes people-watching.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Infernus|number=2|hero_quote1=Infernus|quote1=How you liking New York?|hero_quote2=Viscous|quote2=People-watching is fun!|hero_quote3=Infernus|quote3=You should stop by Jezebel's sometime.

He seems like a nice person who would trap me in a protoplasmic cube'."''</ref> The Cube nullifies all pain, even for characters like {{PageRef|name=Victor}}.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s in-game [[Victor/Quotes#Allies|voice line]] (Clutch Cube): ''"I... I don't feel pain!"''</ref> Viscous doesn't question how the Cube works, even when it can heal non-organic bodies like {{PageRef|name=Bebop}}'s.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Viscous|hero2=Bebop|number=2|hero_quote1=Bebop|quote1=Hey, Viscous! I'm not organic.

It's where I go when I'm sad. Or injured. Or just want to be in the cube.}}</ref>
