Character NAME: John Kennex
Canon & MEDIUM: Almost Human (Tv Show)
Canon PULL-POINT: The point in your character's canon from which you are taking them.
Character AGE: 41
Character ABILITIES: He went through the police academy, pretty good at hand-to-hand, and an expert marksman.
Character HISTORY: http://almost-human.wikia.com/wiki/Almost_Human_Wiki
A year and a half or so from the canon start point, John was involved in a raid against Insyndicate that ended terribly. His partner died, he lost his right leg, and was betrayed by his girlfriend. He was in a 17 month coma. He took a break from the force. The psychiatrist said 'Kennex is suffering from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD, and psychological rejection of his synthetic body part.' He also said John should never be allowed back on the force. Thankfully, he's close with the captain and was allowed back on the force. They discuss some details about Insyndicate case and the captain reveals that John is the only one she trusts with this information.
John visits a recollectionist to try to remember the events of the raid. He shouldn't be doing it since he hasn't been fully conscious for a year, and also because it's practicing black market medicine. When John was trying to save his partner at the raid, a MX (one of the robot cops) decided they were not worth saving and abandoned them. This seemed to spark a strong dislike for robots, as he requested a human partner. He was denied and given a MX. When he visits a crime scene, the MX accidentally triggers a PTSD episode by saying 'myklon red'. When the MX says that he thinks he needs to report the episode, and also brings up the night before that he was acting suspiciously, John opens the car door and pushes the bot out onto the highway.
He's issued the DRN, the last line of bots, and thus becomes partnered with Dorian. The DRN were made to be as human as possible. John says they went crazy, Rudy says some had problems dealing with their emotions. John initially is pretty prickly around Dorian. He goes back to the recollectionist and pushes it to the limit. Dorian saves him. But not before he remembers that his girlfriend was a part of Insyndicate, and that's why she disappeared. They crack their current case and take down the bad guys before they can take something from the evidence room. What they wanted, they don't know. He warms up to Dorian a little after that.
In the second episode, John finally goes to his old partner's kid to talk about him after they solve their case. He also messes up with kids, then redeems himself when he talks to a victim's son, and learns a little about how bots feel.
In the third episode, he and Dorian head toward a hostage situation instead of following orders and evacuating. He bonds with Paige, one of the hostages hidden in a closet, over the phone. He and Dorian end up saving the hostages and taking down the bad guys. His insubordination is overlooked.
In the fourth episode, a cop John is friends with is killed. They go deep into the drug scene and put Rudy, their tech, undercover. When they find the guy in charge, John shoots him. At the end, John learns to lay back a little and have fun.
This is where we would like you to briefly summarize your character's canon. You may provide a link to a Wiki article of a least 3 paragraphs to cover aspects of world information and canon overview, but we require a minimum of 2 paragraphs, in your own words, of your character's specific involvement in their canon. If no outside sources are available for linking, the written history must be more comprehensive.
Character PERSONALITY: John sometimes has a rather prickly personality. One example of that is when he shuts the door on his MX and demands a new partner. Another is when he gets tired of the MX, he pushes him out the car door onto the highway. He can be an asshole. For instance, he hangs up on Maldonado, his captain, and tells Dorian to go in quiet mode. He can get on people's wrong sides with the way he reacts sometimes. John is also stubborn as hell. One instance of this is when there's a hostage situation and he ascends the stairs instead of evacuating like his captain told him to. He also stubbornly goes back to Recollectionist time and time again to figure out what happened during the raid.
John can be rather awkward. For example, he's awkward on the phone to Valerie, whom he has a crush on. He also thought kids would like to see him stab his synthetic leg. Naturally, he frightened them. He can also be a little shit, though. He insists on bringing Dorian to eat noodles. Dorian says that he can't eat. John then says that he's buying, then. Also, when he's blowing off his captain he makes a bunch of sounds into the phone as if he were getting cut off and ends with 'Christmas.' I don't know how else to put it. He really can be a little shit.
John can also be bold and brash. He takes a lot of risks, such as going after the hostages and carrying on when they see the device in the first episode. He also tends to beat up the criminals he interrogates, especially if they did something to cops, like in the forth episode for Rudy and the first episode for Detective Vogel. He also has Dorian hack into things without a warrant a lot.
Most of all, he's a jerk with a heart of gold. He may not always follow the rules, but he always tries to do what's right. He warms up to a little boy in the second episode when the boy's mother was taken. He makes the boy smile and gives him a toy giraffe. It's also obvious that he showed that heart of gold to his girlfriend, by the video she sent him before the raid. He seems truly in love with her. He also tries, even when he's inconsiderate. When he was interrogating the sex bot and Dorian asked her where she was born instead of where was she made, John echoed him. He really is a good man deep down.
» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON:
Upon arriving in Exsilium, your character will be given the option to choose a weapon from a wide array of weaponry, or bring in a weapon from their canon. Please tell us what your character's chosen weapon will be, whether it is from their canon or if they're choosing it from the Initiative armory, and how it will evolve through your character's time in the game. For example, if your character has inherent magic or a special ability, you might pick that and explain specifically how it will grow stronger over time. Or it might be a physical weapon, like a sword, which could come to shift to different shapes and sizes to match the situation. It might even be an innocuous-seeming object, like a spyglass, that could evolve to grant the user different sight-based abilities. We're very open to creative weaponry and evolution!
Character INVENTORY: The clothes he's wearing, his gun, badge, and phone.

First PERSON: [Video]
[The camera clicks on, showing a man with with his brows furrowed. He clears his throat.]
Hello. This is Detective John Kennex.
[A robotic voice says 'synthetic calibration incomplete.' He lets out an irritated sigh.]
Look, could someone help me out here? I'm supposed to... calibrate this thing or whatever and thing is, the Initiative decided to pick me up without the thing that does that. I would be forever grateful if someone used to robotics would look at it.
And let me know if you talk to someone named Dorian.
Third PERSON: We would like to see a prose example of your character's actions within the setting of Exsilium. It can be their arrival, or something set a few days, weeks, or months down the road into their stay. What we are looking for here is their own personal motivations, their thoughts, and their personal introspection. Must be a minimum of two full-length paragraphs. Links to previous posts and threads with this character may be provided if you are an existing player in game (if the sample is linked, there is no need for it to be set within Exsilium). If you are new to Exsilium, please provide newly written samples.
As of March 2013, the Third Person sample may now be linked from the Test Drive Meme, whether you're a new or current player.
» ADDITIONAL NOTES
Just something I'm unsure of. Would the Initiative have anything that could calibrate/charge a synthetic leg? Canon is not exactly specific on how it works, but in the show, he pulls the leg away from a contraption and it says 'charged at full capacity.' He also takes a band off his leg that says 'synthetic calibration incomplete'. If it helps, John is from 2048 Los Angeles. I was just wondering if I should assume they would hook him up or if I should play out him looking for somebody to help. I would love to play out someone making something or them going on a mission for it if that's okay.
