— [code]Good-natured, approachable, amiable.[/code] He is all of what makes a good peer. When the air is light, he’s known to enjoy a nice, pointless chat with his colleagues.
— Doesn’t care to take things too seriously when in the company of others. When discussion drags on, he takes to either excusing himself or, if not permitted, attempting to lighten the mood to the point where he can slip away.
— [code]Takes mood stabilizers.[/code] He's prescribed a dose for every shift, but overtime is a given & he'll often run out before his next refill. When this happens, it's not uncommon for him to visit [code]High Times[/code].
— When he's not on stabilizers, he prefers to keep his distance, as the face he presents towards his peers is a bit of a [code]performance[/code] for him. Dislikes his true nature, but finds it difficult to avoid, so keeps to himself. For him, it’s more convenient to be regarded kindly.
— Easily inconvenienced and tends to regard interactions as either useful or not; can’t help but always feel rushed and dislikes those who idle or are generally slow.
— While cruel isn’t the best word to use, it comes close. Speaking venomously comes especially easily to him & he's not above using Fuzz as intimidation.

[indent][indent][code]A R M O R   &   W E A P O N R Y[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][h1][/h1][color=silver] List and briefly described. Augmentations are listed and described here, as well. Pictures are optional (and pretty).

— [url=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/040/630/505/large/joshua-cotter-orange.jpg?1629417225]Right hand[/url] & wrist newly augmented, replaced with a prosthetic after a burn accident; has yet to re-tattoo his social scan number.
— Wears a [url=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/008/250/993/large/alexandra-hodgson-sasha-ah4.jpg?1511479285]fire-proof suit[/url] while on the job, equipped with a glass helmet. 
— Off-duty: dons civilian outer layer (hoodie, etc) & light [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/999107775441420369/999147511291842570/book_burner.png]body armor[/url] underneath, courtesy of the office. At this point, it's his second skin; one day, he'll take the plunge and augment his body.
— His [code]CyberK-9 partner[/code], [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/999107775441420369/999139896411295784/dog.png]Fuzz[/url], is equipped with jaws that have a bite force of 2000 psi and a retractable flamethrower. Its skin is cybernetic leather, capable of feeling pets. As for speed... It's quite slow, only able to keep up with Alex.[/color][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][code]S K I L L S[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][color=silver]— Standard Enforcer training.
— Handling others' CyberK9 partners; AI tend to feel a loyalty for him, too. Cyber equivalent of being good with animals.
— Also good with animals.
— Breaking in a book's spine.
— Literature.[/color][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][code]R E L A T I O N S[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][color=silver]— [code]Enforcers[/code]: His employers. He enjoys the holiday parties.
— [code]Freemen’s Book Club[/code]: They know about his job, but he's a loyal customer to their pop-up shops. It takes a lot of convincing to get them to sell him books, but they have good reads. What they don't know, or at least haven't brought up yet, is that his book reviews are what get people to come in.
— [code]Father[/code]: Calls him Alé. Moved out of his family home, i.e. his dad's apartment. Chef at The Shack. Lives near Aki Kurose.[/color][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][code]H I S T O R Y[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][h1][/h1][color=silver]— His life didn't begin until training. He was a [code]quiet, unassuming[/code] kid throughout school. Played underground football; kept to his team.
— He knew [i]of[/i] the outside world, but he was encouraged to stay on the straight & narrow, only ever going between school, home, & sometimes [code]The Shack[/code] to visit his dad at work or to pick up an extra shift.
— He was a good student, but higher education was a thing for Netters & learning that didn't leave him with much ambition. When the first option for the rest of his life presented itself, he took it. The enforcer recruiters came to visit his school during Career Day with [code]a K9 unit[/code] & the rest is history. 

— Top of his class in standard training. Top of his class in K9 training. 
— Been a year since he graduated from the academy.

— Online, he reviews books & has amassed a bit of a following under the alias [code]Zuf[/code]. What his followers don't know is that he's usually reading the paper copy; he'll still link the ebook under each review, though.
