notes;

- eagerness to impress those around him, especially coworkers and those in authority roles

- dismisses softer approaches that require more patient diligence

- aggro tendencies often lead to one-upmanship/inability to accept his mistakes

- discomfort with touchy-feely "crap" outside of his most intimate relationships

- avoids displaying his vulnerabilities via the usual toxic masculine bottling technique

- rather witty, albeit drawn from some non-PC sources

- as such, expect instances of homophobia, sexism, fatphobia, racially-charged remarks

- paranoia; discomfort builds in him when another knows more about him than he shared willingly

- passionately optimistic about the future, ie thinks the world can be better

- somewhat rigid ideas of right/wrong, evil/good, crazy/sane, etc etc

- forgetfulness/mis-remembering; since "the incident", he can get mixed up easily
            + sometimes forgets he's no longer a cop
            + frequently loses track of time
            + returns to familiar locations with no clear purpose
            + may rewrite his motivations when facts don't align

- may regain clarity, which often results in temporary catatonia

- usually remembers he's "retired" from being a cop

- generally friendly to all unless he perceives a slight

- crass and boisterous, the type to shove his foot in his mouth

- insecure in his smarts, so he tends to look down upon overly educated sorts

- more of the hands-on type, he prides himself in being able to DO things
             + even things he cannot do *** ( see: plumbing, wiring, etc )
