If you just look at what Vann, as a character has done, the bro status is kind of justified.
But if you look at him as a person or an element in the story its really not. Cap and Vann have no history, no similarities to bond over, no shared tragedy. There's no narrative reason why Vann should act like he does towards cap. It just feels like cryo wanted a bro character in the story, so he just put a bro character in the story without bothering to justify why Vann and cap would be bros.
That seems a bit self contradictory.
If you look at what he did as a character it's justified, but as a person it's not??
What he did as a character defines who he is as a person.
A decent guy who saved the MC.
Yeah, thanks for saving my life, now let me treat you like some random? WTF?
I feel sorry for anyone who puts themself in danger to help you!
No similarities? Did you miss the part where they both love & respect Noel?
She also highly respects Vann so, as I said, he gets some gratis status from that. As do we, with him.
You're not wrong, but in this kind of game, where it's not particularly hard to get laid, it doesn't feel like that big a deal. Also fair, that he saved the MC (though personally, I hate that he had to do that). I'm not denying that he's a nice and cool guy, but I feel like there's more to being a "bro" than just doing nice things. I feel like there wasn't enough time developing a bond with him. Right now, he feels like a guy that I wouldn't mind getting a drink with, but not someone that I'd throw down my life to save or protect.
On a semi related note, was it mentioned in the last update, that Vann was interested in joining the crew?
To be fair, saving MC from getting kidnapped and sold into slavery (which is what the 2 thugs were discussing doing) qualifies as a lot more than simply "nice", to me.
He literally saved MC's ass.
