It feels like you are using a lot of OOC knowledge in order to give Czes an edge in the game. One of the main examples being the questions asked of the moderators during various question-time. Said knowledge gained isn't something that Czes would ICly be looking for so it feels like you break the character in order to achieve an OOC goal.
If we compare Czes to the OVA, Rail Tracer is not an immortal being but is just an odd human being yet Czes immediately runs from him in fear rather than attempt to gain any upper hand on him. In the same sense, if we apply it to the Box, he's trying to gain an upper hand on the Technicians but they're on the same level as Rail Tracer. So I do not understand his IC motivations and can only attribute them to OOC motivations.
There are all things that we as players would like our characters to do, but without proper set-up and reasoning behind it; there's no reason for it. There's nothing in what Czes is doing, has said, has done, to make it seem like he should be doing anything other than surviving. He's an immortal but in the body of a little boy. There's very little reason he should have to push his luck, because he never tries to push his luck in the series. There's in no development seen in the Box to show why he has suddenly decides to take chances.
This isn't saying that you should stop trying to take chances or find a way for Czes to contribute, but rather, slow down and actually have build up and IC reasons for why he's doing what he's doing. Think it out because it comes off as pure player motivation rather than character motivation.
