> CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Adam Jensen
CANON: Deus Ex
AGE: 34
CANON POINT: End of Human Revolution

HISTORY: Wiki
PERSONALITY:
Adam Jensen has very little sense of humor, with only the occasional dry or sarcastic wit. He's logical, unafraid of confrontation, blunt, and can be very honest even if it's hurtful or unnecessary. Adam is not easily persuaded by others and can be doggedly stubborn -- however, when presented with the facts of a situation he will at least consider his previously held position could need to be reexamined. He has the type of personality where he is cynical of almost everything and would want to research something for himself to understand the facts.

Adam has a protective personality stemming from his relationship with his adoptive mother. She was not mentally stable, and would sometimes take Adam out of school to go on "adventures" or errands. Adam grew up in an environment where his father worked long hours and he was often taking care of his mother rather than his mother taking care of him. The connection between this childhood influence and his behavior as an adult is easy to correlate. While his job title is that of a simple security officer, he leaves the office and goes on some pretty crazy "adventures" all across the world, into secure government compounds and worse. His need to protect and serve took him into police work and later into being a security officer.

While he believes in doing good in a grand sense of the word, he has some very questionable morals along the way. He's highly skilled in killing, interrogation, lying, stealing, breaking and entering, and doing anything he thinks is necessary to get the job done and to complete a mission. That being said, often his mission is moral but he is definitely of the mindset that "the ends justify the means." Adam is very focused on his goals and has little personal life since his accident (getting shot and almost killed on duty). While he can be personable it's because he sees, in those specific situations, the necessity of it to get answers faster or to persuade people. That's not to say he's not entirely unlikable or without good qualities. Those characters in the video game who knew him before the accident, when he was a police officer and S.W.A.T. leader, have a high regard for him and are mostly on friendly terms with him. Post-accident, Adam seems to have either secluded himself purposefully or alienated people subconsciously. It's likely a combination of both.

After the accident and being reconstructed with augmentations (robotic limbs and organs) he remains mentally himself but with self doubts that came with the transformation. Adam questions his own humanity just as the political/social atmosphere of the game questions the humanity of augmented people and the morality of transforming the human body into these highly advanced prosthetic pieces. He enjoys the power it gives him, super human strength and speed and a host of other abilities, but the question of how much to use that power and how far to take it come up throughout game play. Ultimately the augmentations allow him to get done what he otherwise wouldn't be able to and that bothers him, being a man very independent and capable, but Adam reconciles this somewhat by realizing that his own mind is still intact and his own and that he can choose what to do with the power he's been given -- even if he didn't ask for or want that power.

One of the most defining aspects of the game is that Adam is searching constantly for his ex-girlfriend, Megan. Even though he does jobs, missions and tasks for a host of people the overlaying goal for him personally is finding and rescuing Megan. While the player ironically has the sense she does not need saving Adam is almost singular in his thought that he must, and goes to extreme measures and risks extreme danger to himself to do this.

While there are different endings possible in the game, the important point to note is that in order to proceed in the game you have to kill the people in the boss-battles, and at least one of those kills is very callous. Some of the terrible things he does in the game you still get the "good" ending, so it's justifiable in my opinion to say that overall he's not a very moral character. This is especially true considering he steals, computer hacks, and breaks-into things throughout the game regardless of the actual character decision/killing decision the player has to make to get the different endings. The culmination of my personality was keeping all of this in mind. Adam Jensen is not the most moral person and he believes the ends (occasionally killing people, taking a few short cuts) is worth the ultimate goal.

CRAU: N/A

SPECIES: Human
APPEARANCE:
Torso augmentations
Face | Portrait

SKILLS:

NEW POWER: Smoke Generation
POWER REASONING: It'd be hilariously useless at first and probably for awhile remain so. In time it could develop to help with his stealth, or to obfuscate enemies, and so on. It could also develop into something like toxic gas generation, or draining oxygen/gases from rooms. I also just find it funny because he's a smoker :)

SAMPLE ONE: Ongoing TDM which I think works for both samples. If not just let me know :)

The culmination of my personality was keeping all of this in mind. Adam Jensen is not the most moral person and he believes the ends (occasionally killing people, taking a few short cuts) is worth the ultimate goal.

Abilities/Skills:
Adam is ~50% mechanical. After nearly dying his Sarif Industries boss took it upon himself (thanks to some small print in Adam's contract) to not only replace the damaged arm of his but both arms, both legs, add augments to his brain, eyes, spine, etc. What this means is that Adam has super speed, strength, reflexes as well as some highly advanced other abilities such as hacking, falling from great heights, seeing through walls, moving silently, and so on. If you need details of what all he can do there is a list here on his journal.. The ones in GREEN are somewhat innate to his simply having the augment. The ones marked in RED require energy to use/activate (meaning they have only a short duration or he could only perform a few times before running low on energy). The only manner in which Adam can regain this energy in the game is by eating (something like high-protein energy bars is ideal).

Other abilities Adam has, outside of his augmentations, include those which came with his many years as a police officer and S.W.A.T. commander. He's very skilled in combat, stealth, and both lethal and non-lethal take downs.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Adam has a lot of flaws. He drinks too much, is likely addicted to prescription pain killers, he smokes, and he's very quick to use violence to solve problems. Adam also steals, a lot, and has no moral compunctions about poking through someone's personal information on their computers or personal data devices. He's the type to listen in on conversations or go through someone's mail, to beat someone up for information, or threaten them with violence or possibly even blackmail.

Items: He'll have a few guns, AUDs (automatic unlocking devices, they're like high-tech lockpicks), cigarettes, pain killers, lots of ammunition for said guns and for his Typhoon explosion system.
