Personality:

Senku is a very pragmatic, logically minded individual. He has very little use or desire for sentimentality. At times, however, he slips. This is probably demonstrated best with his relationship with his father. Byakuya understood Senku very well. When given the opportunity to call him from space, he refused because Senku wouldn't be interested in idle chit chat. Senku also didn't attend the launch of his father into space, although he did watch him on TV where he promised he'd bring him back a souvenir from his travels. The recording left behind for Senku had a moment where Byakuya began a sentence like he was going to tell him something sentimental and cut it off exclaiming: "That kind of parental sentiment is so not your style, so let's get down to business." Senku laughed gleefully that Byakuya understood him.

One could be mistaken for thinking he was cold, or perhaps their relationship was distant, but that couldn't be further from the truth. He benefited from Byakuya's unconditional support and a few life lessons, and he supported him in turn. When he discovered the reason Byakuya was rejected from JAXA in the first place, he worked hard to design a way for his father to learn how swim in his clothes and pass the test. While his methods did not work, his unwavering support allowed Byakuya to go for it. When Ruri tells Senku the 100 stories, the final one was a message to him personally, about the gift left for him which was the people in the village. In this moment, alone at his grave, he cried and thanked him for the gift, regardless of the fact he'd died a few thousand years before.

While he often is not sentimental, Senku does care about the people around him. He doesn't try and connect with people on an emotional level, and at times he outright rejects such a discussion, such as when his best friend Taiju excitedly tells him he's ready to confess to the girl he likes. Although phrased sarcastically initially, when he didn't get it, he outright said he wasn't the least bit interested in that. However, he does show he cares through the practical side of things. Scientific advancements allow for him to feed people much more diverse foods, and to bring heating into their homes to allow for a much easier winter. Gestures like those allow other people to have faith in Senku's leadership.

Senku is an unconventional leader. He's less likely to offer stirring motivational speeches that appeal to the feelings of the inhabitants, but rather he offers a look at possibility and opportunity. He demonstrates how he can improve their lives, rather than how to make them feel better. He sounds like an innovator, a dreamer to those who don't know better. At times, people have been very skeptical of him, but every time he delivers he sways people's opinions in his direction. There's a touch of 'mad scientist' to his method, outlandish seeming declarations, but Senku always backs it up with a comprehensive road map regardless of how long that road map may be. From anyone else, such declarations would be seen as madness, such as his current venture, to travel from the Earth to the Moon in this dystopian future. While people still react and consider him to be kind of mad, they also believe in him because of his ability to deliver.

His blunt manner of speaking sometimes leads to misunderstandings. He isn't always considerate, which can lead others to get annoyed with him, especially if they don't understand him or know it's not personal. When he gets excited about something that seems unusual to others, like a deadly chemical, it's very easy to misunderstand his intentions.

Despite all of his pragmatism, he's an idealist. He has faith in humanity and intends to revive every member of the human race, all 7.8 billion of them. He's steadfast in this ideology, and has fought a war to keep Tsukasa from culling the herd. It is likely that it's less because they're human, and more because the challenge is incredibly appealing.

He can maintain friendships as long as he surrounds himself with people who understand he's not into doublespeak and most likely won't show an interest in their personal lives.

Key themes:

The importance of knowledge, ingenuity and adaptation. Senku has spent most of his life, driven with a thirst for knowledge. When he was about six years old, he decided he was going to space and spent the rest of his life in the past, about ten years, studying every facet of science he could get, to be prepared for any scenario. He spent much of his formative years applying his scientific knowledge to new inventions, like the suit for his father, and all of this knowledge came in handy when society collapsed and he is in the process of pushing humanity from the stone age to the modern era. He has taken modern ideas and adapted them to the world around him.

Main Motivation:

The short answer to what drives Senku is science. Since he was a very young child, he decided he wanted to be an astronaut and to accomplish this in the least amount of time, he devoured every book, every bit of scientific knowledge he could get. This had always been his goal, however because of the worldwide petrification, he has a shorter term goal to use science to revive every single human, and fast track the evolution of man from the stone age to the modern age in record time, with the power and knowledge of science.

Skills:

Senku's intelligence and knowledge is incredibly high. He's a walking science textbook. He's studied diligently chemistry, engineering, physics, biology, mathematics, geology and knows how to apply them all. He understand science to the degree he knows every component of everything he knows to the molecule. His high intelligence and analytical mind allows him to be good at tactics, planning and foresight. He's rarely without some kind of contingency plan. He is confirmed to speak Japanese and English, so he's a least bilingual. It seems incredibly likely he also speaks Russian.

He is capable of using science to create gadgets from the very basic blocks, as inelegant as they are, they work. He doesn't have the finesse of a craftsman. He works incredibly hard, and is willing to put forth the effort for the eventual payoff. He's incredibly focused. He kept track of the passing of time by counting for the entire 3700 years or so. He can also multitask this, something he discovered when he was a child, without losing count of a single second. This skill has come surprisingly in handy in many mathematical calculations.

In exchange for the intelligence and focus on knowledge, his stamina and physicality is extremely low for a regular modern teenager. He seems to get physically exhausted quickly and short of breath throughout most of the excursions they undertake.

Senku has extremely bad luck. It's fortunate he can plan contingencies because if luck is involved - they need them. He need only mention the worst case scenario and that's what they're faced with.

Item: He would like to keep on him the Medusa Weapon. It is not currently functional. It needs to be recharged, and Senku does not know how to do that yet.
