Who is this character? Adam "Never Asked For This" Jensen
Tell us something about them. Ex-cop from a cyberpunk Detroit in the far-off year of 2027 who worked physical security at one of the world's leading biotech companies, nearly died in an attack on its headquarters, then got the Robocop treatment thanks to a sketchy clause in his employee contract. He's bit more than half-machine now, loaded up with the highest-end tech available, and really does wear those sunglasses pretty much 100% of the time. He's taciturn, emotionally distant, pretty touchy about his new appearance (though he's getting better about it) and has had some real issues with trusting the wrong people – but despite his (almost comically awful) past, he's a pretty selfless guy who'd go out of his way to help someone in need. A truth-seeker we have not seen the likes of since Fox Mulder. Also: judging by his apartment, if left to his own devices he'd subsist on nothing but beer, whiskey, and sugary breakfast cereals (I wish I could make this up.) Someone help this man live like a normal human adult.
How long have they been on the Moira? Zero hours and none minutes (unless the TDM counts? Not sure how that fits into the timeline in relation to the official intro log!)
What have they been doing? Weird paranoia-inducing meteor made him a little paranoid, and he made a couple of "friends" by totally jumping them in a dark hallway. Besides that, he's been assigned to cargo bay duty (that's what he gets for having super cool robot arms I guess!!) so probably expect to see him and his super cool robot arms around there!
What do they think of the captains? So far he doesn't have a reason not to trust them– but that doesn't exactly mean he does trust them. The extremely small sample size he polled during the TDM told him they're kind of incompetent and might have their own agenda, so... Apart from the "incompetent" part, nothing he's not unfamiliar with. Adam's paradoxically bad with authority figures while also operating best under some form of direction – it's best for him if everyone he's talked to is wrong and the captains turn out to be good leaders!
Have they figured out a plan of action? Waiting and seeing, mostly. Things tend to shake up around him, so he could end up being someone trying to effect change depending on how things go in his first few weeks.
Is there something specific your character wants to do? Get himself really familiar with the ship, its leadership, and anyone else who plays a major role in its day to day workings. See a planet (because holy crap, it's a new planet.) Probably get out of the cargo bay at some point because, even though the physical labor is kind of relaxing on one level, he's an Action Man at heart.
Got plans for the next month? Brand new here, so I'm just looking to establish some CR! 8)
What about plans over all? Tbh, Adam from the beginning of his canon to his current canonpoint is melancholic, a little angsty, and definitely has some major unresolved issues with himself and pretty much everything that happened to him over the course of the game. It'll take some time, but I'd like to move him along to the more confident, self-accepting, self-determining person he ends up being further down the road. Forcing him to get close to people, to trust them, and to stop pushing them away all the time will be a start!
Specific CR? Definitely would like some of the following! △ One or two people who he can trust to get familiar with his augmentations – someone who can help him get them up to date (since a lot of his systems are going to be a little confused by not being on the planet Earth) and who he can go to whenever they get damaged. Cyberneticists, people in biotech, maybe even computer geniuses, etc. He doesn't exactly have an instruction manual for how all of his stuff operates, so it could be a challenge for any of the folks who like those! △ Positive CR! Someone who's good at forcing mopey people to kind of come out of their shell, and won't get really discouraged if it takes time. △ Negative(?) CR! He's pretty slow to real fist-in-face anger, which makes him a good target for sarcastic annoying people (and hey, one of his most trusted associates in-canon is a sarcastic annoying person!) He gives back about as much as he gets. △ The stealth-action people should all probably know each other. Same goes for the people with robot parts. △ Anyone who knows where the hell a guy can get a decent drink on the ship (priorities.) △ I'm new – give it all to me, baby!
Anything else? Deus Ex partnered up with Open Bionics to make open source 3d-printable prosthetics based off of his arm, and I still can't get over how badass this 10 year old girl is.
Also he's got an opt-in permissions post for an augment of his involving personality analysis and behavior-altering chemicals. Check it out!
