Aug. 7th, 2014 12:13 ama little about kennex's world (from the Almost Human Wiki) ...
Kennex lives in a place called The City, which is arguably a science-fiction-y West Coast city in the USA.
The year is 2048. Meet JOHN KENNEX (Urban), a cop who survived one of the most catastrophic attacks ever made against the police department. After waking up from a 17-month coma, he can’t remember much – except that his partner was killed; his girlfriend, ANNA MOORE (guest star Mekia Cox, “Crazy, Stupid, Love.,” “Undercovers”), left him after the attack; and he lost one of his legs and is now outfitted with a highly sophisticated synthetic appendage.
Suffering from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD and the “psychological rejection of his synthetic body part,” John returns to work at the behest of longtime ally Captain SANDRA MALDONADO (Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, “Six Feet Under,” “Ransom”). By mandate, every cop must partner with a robot. And despite his passionate aversion to androids, John is paired up with a battle-ready MX-43. But he abruptly terminates his partnership after the robot discovers incriminating information about him. So technician RUDY LOM (Mackenzie Crook, “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise) introduces John to DORIAN (Ealy), a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses. Although such responses were deemed flaws, it is in these “flaws” that John relates to Dorian most. After all, John is part-machine now, and Dorian is part-human. John and Dorian’s understanding of each other not only complements them, it connects them.
As he adjusts to working with his new partner, John also must learn to get along with his new colleagues, including the eager and somewhat starstruck Detective VALERIE STAHL (Minka Kelly, “Friday Night Lights,” “(500) Days of Summer”) and the distrustful Detective RICHARD PAUL (Michael Irby, “Law Abiding Citizen,” “The Unit”), who does not welcome John back with open arms.
ALMOST HUMAN will follow the week-to-week missions of John and Dorian, as they fight crime across this futuristic landscape, while the mysteries surrounding his attack and the larger mythology of this new world unfold.[1]
a little about john kennex ...
basic stats.
name: Detective John Reginald Kennex
age: 41 in 2048 (b.o.d.: 7 June 2007)
sex: Male
race: Human
weight: 205 lb
height: 1.85 m
appearance: he looks like karl urban; dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, fit and athletic, also American and speaks with a 'West Coast' American accent (but he does one hell of an Australian accent ;) )
permissions.
1. triggers:
Hoo boy, Kennex has a number of triggers. Most of his triggers are a recent occurrence, happening approximately 18 months before his return to the force.
2. medical info:
Kennex makes use of a fully synthetic, prosthetic part for his right leg, which was blown clean off during his last mission against a dangerous crime organization called inSyndicate. As a result of this incident, he was also in a 17-month coma and now suffers from a number of different mental illnesses and trauma on-set anger issues.
These mental illnesses are: a psychological rejection of his synthetic leg (which is getting better at), depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD and PTSD.
He may also be suffering from substance abuse in the form of membliss pills, which are meant to open up the memory clusters in one's brain for recollection. They look like this.
As previously stated, Kennex also has anger management issues, which he has been going to required classes for. He's ... still getting a handle on that, and therefore can be prone to erratic behaviour at times.
For any doctors checking him up, good luck.
3. physical contact:
Kennex is hardly the touchy-feely type, and any sort of physical contact beyond punching, kicking, and arresting is more on the rare side. After being duped by his ex-girlfriend, he has some major trust issues. With kids, it's a little different. He won't mind if a kid comes up to him and gives him a hug. Likewise, he won't recoil the way he probably would if an adult tried to give him a hug.
Friendly pats on the shoulder or the back he can do. Otherwise, he's not so comfortable with it. If in doubt, just give me a shout.
4. romance/sexual relations:
Kennex is arguably a really great boyfriend and lover. He is kind and fiercely loyal, protective and supportive. He just has major trust issues, and these make him skirt around things like new romantic attachments, almost to the point of his being awkward and shy about it. He currently has a crush on his co-worker, Valerie buuut because of his recent relationship, he's a little hesitant to make his emotions known - to either himself, or to Valerie.
5. canon-puncturing:
you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who was actually familiar with his canon to canon-puncture him, but even if that is the case, please don't tell him he's fictional. you can feel free to let him know he's famous though; he'll be grumpy about it but secretly he'll like it a little.
6. threadcrashing:
yes.
7. empaths/telepaths:
Ah, empaths and telepaths alike might have a fun time with this ball of joy. As stated above, he suffers from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD and the 'psychological rejection of his synthetic body part' which means there is a lot going on in his head at all times, and he is haunted by a lot of things that happened to him before he fell into a coma.
Feel free to read his emotions and his mind and adjust whatever you say accordingly. Freak him out if you want to. But you do troll him at your own risk. He's not a very kind man to those who try to trick him, and it'll be difficult to get back into hisgood neutral books.
8. extra:
I run on slowtime and backtagging. If you're cool with that, then we're going to get along just fine.
