ic information
CHARACTER: takeshi kovacs
CANON: altered carbon
CANON POINT: 1.06 - post episode
INFO: kovacs is a chain-smoking space noir rebel soldier turned private detective who's recently woken up from being asleep or "put on ice" in prison for 250 years. in his world, human consciousnesses are placed into hard drive disks called "stacks" which can be taken out of human bodies referred to as "sleeves", so his mind's been placed in a number of different bodies over the years, currently in one that's on loan and definitely not his own. having lost a lot of friends and family over the years, he's developed a bit of a jaded attitude towards things and initial impressions make him appear fairly intimating and a bit of an asshole, but he actually tends to keep a look out for good people and takes care of them if he can, but won't hesitate to be a prick to those who deserve it in kind. here's a link to his app for more information about his world and what he's like.
REGRET: his regret is ~~to prevent the battle of stronghold which ultimately killed all the envoys (except himself)~~ to save clara oswald's life. back in november, he made a deal with the orb to change his regret, and in exchange he'll lose a significant memory of his life at the beginning of each month.
CR WISHLIST: looking for just about anything! he very greatly appreciates honest people and will easily dislike those that are obsessively putting up fronts and tend to be manipulative. he's especially drawn very heavily towards big acts of loyalty, so he might more easily like those that give that impression. smug, rich folk really put him off. he might seem easily annoyed by talkative and enthusiastic people, but he warms up to them with time. would also love for him to bond with other fellow "immortals" and long-living people!
RECAP: kovacs ended up in taeum, aka the "heaven" side, of the previous mission, where turning into a picture perfect version of himself caused him to momentarily look like his original body for a few weeks. considering how confusing this might have been, he addressed the network on his return to the station to clarify the way things work in his own world. nearing the end of the mission, he took part in a stealth mission that was originally an attempt to steal the orb, only for it to end up being a fight after the highest one's secondhand, v'rizz. landing the hit that ultimately killed v'rizz, kovacs' return to the station has had him considering many things — including the way he's gotten his hands dirty continuously with no remorse and what will be left as he continues to lose more of his memories (while also battling the inner conflict that his slowburn feelings for marta may not be entirely platonic).
