HOUSTON!!!!!!

houston is my favorite payday character.
i mostly play as him in payday 2/3. i have to cope with
wolf in pd:th cause houston isnt in that one.
i refuse to play as Hoxton, i dont like that man (heart emoji)

What The HELL Is A Houston

this fella is Franklin Steele, or his alias "Houston."

he was literally created to replace hoxton, and he went by that alias for a while. but hoxton (does this get confusing?) renamed him to houston! houston was a better name for him anyway, since his brother is dallas.

Why Do I Like Him

he is a very relatable character!!

i have seen people say that he is "boring" or "basic", and i simply just dont agree. (totally NOT biased)

it is said that he values efficiency and professionalism, especially during heists- which is most likely why he doesn't have much of a 'personality.' besides that, it's also said that he is short-fused and impulsive dealing with everyday life.

---

he's often pretty short with his pager responses
and seems to have a hard time talking to strangers
(mainly in pd2. he became a lot more outgoing in 3.)

i understand why people thought he was plain,
but i personally adored his dry and awkward personality. it was different compared to the loud and fast-paced nature of the other heisters.

---

like i said above, his personality changed quite a bit in pd3. he became noticeably more talkative, cockier, and.. funnier. sorry pd2 houston. i think it's cool to see his character evolve in such a way!

i haven't seen anyone dislike houston in pd3, he actually seems a lot more popular now! (but maybe it's because there's like 8 heisters in pd3..)

---

there's a lot more than this, but i get a little nervous talking abbout characters im passionate about. maybe one day you'll get more houston yapping x_x
tldr: houston autism is awesome

anyway here's houston's actor, derek ray, answering a question at paydaycon! (yes that happened, and the question is "what's the relationship between you and hoxton?")
