Permission & Kink Post [ooc]
Feb. 24th, 2037 06:13 pmBe warned. Given Hank's canon portrayal, I want to give a TW for depression, suicide, death talk, and very heavy topic.
General OoC Permissions:
Active Times/Pace: Live in Scotland, so GMT/BST clock. My pace can be best described as slow-medium. I sometimes miss a day out here and there due to my health and work, but I will do my best to get back to you. I understand different time zones and real life stuff, so do not fret about taking the time to reply back to rps. Take your time.
Thread hopping with this character?: Sure.
Brackets/Prose: Happy with either.
Offensive Subjects or Triggers: Aside from maybe getting a heads up about animal harm, cruelty or death, I’m good.
IC Permissions:
Fourth-walling this character?: No problem. For the ultimate chips and giggles, Hank is an elder millennial in the year 2038, so there is the potential for fourth wall breaking with memes and character recognition.
Physical Violence: If you don’t mind getting punched back. For an alcoholic 53 year old, Hank is still very capable at handling his own, even against advanced androids.
Berserk Buttons & Triggers: For the angst and drama, I’m 100% okay with these things being mentioned, but don’t expect Hank to be all sunshine and rainbows about it. His berserk buttons are: his late son Cole being talked about casually or cruelly, bad things happening to children or animals, insulting his dog Sumo or his Android partner Connor,, “othering” of anybody, people being general assholes and confirming his “humanity sucks” bias.
General blurb about Hank:
At first glance, Hank comes across as a grizzled, gruff, stubborn and bad-tempered boozehound with a very low opinion of the world and everyone in it. Initially, he holds a personal grudge against androids, but we learn that his true anger is reserved for humans lacking emotion and compassion, caring only for their own interests of mindlessly taking orders at the cost of others. This mindset extends to both humans and androids. Hank can be persuaded by genuine acts of kindness, compassion and love. After all, it was an android that opened his eyes…
Despite his record as a “discipline case” at the office, Hank graduated top of his class back in the day and became the youngest Lieutenant in Detroit history. He was part of an elite task force that cracked down on drug dealers distributing Red Ice and secured a number of high-profile arrests.
In 2035, Hank and his son, Cole, were involved in a car accident. When Cole needed emergency surgery to save his life, the human surgeon was too high on drugs to operate, so an android had to take over. Sadly, Cold didn’t make it. Following the tragic death of his son, Cole, his job performance suffered over the years. Despite this, Hank continued to work in the homicide division, alongside his RK800 android partner, Connor.
The death of his son led Hank into a spiral of self-destructive behaviour, grief, depression, alcoholism, and suicidal tendencies attempts. In his own words, he is “killing himself a little bit each day” as he cannot bring himself to commit suicidal, though - in his darkest hours - he gets drunk and plays Russian Roulette alone in his house…
Even with his initial personal grudge against androids in the beginning, Hank is disgusted by the abusive humans during his cases. His contempt for the treatment of the androids in the Eden Club (an android sex club,) seeing the Tracis being in love and trying to escape to build a new life together, seeing his own partner Connor on the verge of Deviating shows that deep down, he recognises the agency in androids. Even as a Lieutenant expected to operate within the law, he tends to be lenient towards Deviants when aware of their sympathetic motives. Doing the right thing comes before the mission, something that endears him to Connor if his partner does the same thing.
As the story progresses, Hank can warm to Connor, encouraging him to act beyond his mission, and in my eyes, help him deviate. In “The Bridge” chapter, after Connor spares two android suspects, Hank pulls a gun on him to elicit an emotional shock, thus making him Deviate. Even though Hank dismisses Connor as “just another android” at first, he begins to see Connor think for himself, showing clear signs of empathy. If Connor stays a Machine or “acts like a machine,” Hank is furious and disappointed in him, even taking his own life if the relationship deteriorates too far. In his mind, Connor could have helped him have faith in something, but only confirmed his belief that humanity is hopeless.
Long story short, Hank is a hard boiled jerk with a big heart of gold that only Deviant Connor can bring out in him. He is tolerant of minor infractions and won’t follow through on every letter of the law “as long as they don’t hurt anybody.” He carries a lot of hurt from his past, still struggles with moving on and living every day as it comes. All he wants is to be reminded that the good ones are out there, and that love is still possible.
Currently, he lives with his Saint Bernard, Sumo, who he loves greatly. He spends most of his time at work, at home, eating out at the Chicken Feed or drinking at Jimmy’s Bar. (He might be willing to open his door to a certain android…)
He also has a fear of birds, and swears a lot.
Shipping Permission:
Sexuality: Playing Hank as an old bisexual guy, open to all love and connections that help fill that void in his lonely heart. Being a bar hopper, Hank visited a few Detroit gay bars in his past. He has less hang ups about sexuality itself, and more about why anyone would date a guy past his prime now.
Relationships: For the right person, yes. Deep down, Hank wants to feel love again. He’s lost a lot in his life, including a wife and son, and he's so used to seeing the worst of humanity. It’s easy for his worth to be clouded by insecurity and depression, but once he finds someone who loves him for who he is and helps restore his faith in something, he’s fiercely loyal and a very sappy, romantic person. Once he falls for someone, he falls hard.
Physical Affection: Yes, please. Hank is a gruff guy that hasn’t had physical affection for awhile, but he craves it. Absolutely touch starved. If it’s coming from a sincere place, and Hank trusts you enough, he will reciprocate wholeheartedly. He wants it to mean something. He is very self-deprecating and has a lot of body issues, so he’ll need some coaxing and reassurance.
Shipping Preferences: I’m a big Hankcon shipper, so any Connors around, please don’t be shy. Connor is Hank’s absolute world, and can be the spark in restoring his faith in humanity and life. I play Hank as crushing hard on his little android dweeb. I am open to something more platonic, and exploring other ships with characters in and out of DBH canon.
