It would be funny if you were asking about the alcohol. I think I’ve never had it. I tend to avoid strong spirits because I don’t like the burning sensation in the throat.
Oh right. I like Tequila a lot! The highlight of the Dossoles event, and a fascinating character overall.
First, I love the concept itself: look, a golden retriever boy! Awwww! How nice! He’s also a weapon dealer and a terrorist. Oops.

Then comes Tequila’s actual character depth: he’s tasked with a mission the end goal of which is to drag Dossoles into war, so of course he’s doubtful. After all, he’s seen war, he’s seen the horrible mess it is. Dossoles, while an incorrect and corrupted peace that thrives on the rest of Bolivar, is still a patch of peace left. As they say, “A bad peace is better than a good war”.
Ernesto’s given a mission by his father who failed to help his mother and who put Ernesto himself into war. Should he even follow this person? But his father is still his father, and he has failed his expectations so many times. Should he finally prove them?
I like this wavering at which Tequila stands.

I also think he has some of the best oprecs in the game (from those I’ve read). It has everything: Ernesto confronting his father, the pressure Pancho puts on him, the way he encounters people wasting away in Dossoles and knows the fight ahead of him is still long, but now he’s committed to making a change… I hope we see more of him.

I also remember I was surprised to learn that some people think his relationship with La Pluma went wrong and they hate each other or smth. Whatever the weird Redditors were saying. Yeah, Tequila has trouble talking with her honestly, but isn’t it because he can’t figure out himself (and probably thinks he’s a failure of a brother)? They even do bar shows at Rhodes together. Pluma is a girl to just be glad her brother is around.

I also think Bolivar is an extremely interesting region, a messy civil war that leaves an imprint on everyone who has ever been there, and I hope Arknights’ 3rd arc focuses on it of all things available.
Like that one time in Near Light when Roy just mentions he has come from Bolivar and you immediately understand everything about him? That if it’s “Bolivar”, he probably had to crawl and bite his way into Kazimierz, and that’s where his coldhearted practical rationality comes from. Great stuff.
