Assignment #2

Name: Robert Kalinski

Job: He is a local cop in an urban-suburban town (the town he lives in). A regular cop without any upper status even though he has been on the force for about fifteen years. His job means a lot to him because he feels that he is making the world better for his family.

Ethnicity: he is white and American. He has a multi-mix of ancestries but doesn't adhere to one particularly and never chooses one over the other.

Appearance: He has short brown hair, 5' 10'' muscular, about 175 pounds. He has brown eyes and looks like a bruiser.

Where they live: A town he moved to after his training at the police academy. The town is urban-suburban has more people than the usual suburb with more crime but not as densely populated as an urban area.

Pets: no pets

Religion: doesn't believe in God and doesn't really talk about such issues in anyway.

Single/Married/Divorced: Has a wife, Karen. He met her through a friend in the police academy. She is a nurse at the local hospital. She usually works with the people in more immediate danger as in the people that need care right after being shot or stabbed or some life complication.

Children: a fourteen year old girl named Jess. She is a pretty good student well liked by most. She likes art and writing. Her and Joe go to the new museum exhibits every third Saturday of the month. Jess is always surprised by her fathers love and appreciation of art that he usually keeps concealed in his mind only for her.

Temperament: He's calm and strait forward but never curt (especially with his family). He is more intimidating in his looks than his actions and demeanor.

Favorite Color: the color of her daughter and wife's eyes. Blue-gray with a sense of strength and intelligence.

Friends: Not being from this town he doesn't have many friends from it. He hangs out with some of the other officers on the force and participates in the usual station functions consisting of bowling and softball (in the summer) every once in a while an old friend form his home town calls him up to go fishing or just to hang out at each others houses, however he likes to spend time with his wife and daughter as much as possible.

Favorite Foods: burgers and pizza but when ever his wife has a day off or able to cook he loves to have his wifes breaded pork chops.

Drinking Patterns: Will have a beer occasionally with the other officers but hardly ever drinks and rather not start do to all the alcoholics he had locked up over the years.

Phobias: that something will happen to his family that he won't be able to stop. Be it something happening when he is away or under his awareness.

Faults: Typically has problems showing his emotions and rather not talk about his problems to any other person, not even his wife. He tends to bottle up the emotions and horrors that he experiences in being a cop and not having a release of these feelings.

Likes/Hates: dislikes drug users and dislikes most of the people he catches. He doesn't really hate things to much because he doesn't think about those types of things. Likes art a lot as in paintings and photograph, he has studied art quite a lot in his boyhood years and tries to keep up with it a bit.

Secrets: He would say he is too busy for secrets but he mostly keeps hits thoughts and feelings to himself from mostly everyone.

Strong Memories: he remembers his grandmother teaching him about art from a very young age and it pains him every time he thinks of how she died accidentally during a robbery taking place in her building. She was knocked down the stairs as the burglar was escaping down some stairs. She always took the stairs because she said it was good for her heart to walk up the three flights of stairs every day. This was the main reason why he became a cop.

Illness: always been health and physically active.

Nervous Gestures: he doesn't show nervous gestures because he isn't suppose too.

Sleeping Patterns: he sleeps regularly waking up an hour before his daughter does for school. He usually wakes her up in the morning after she turns off her alarm. The only time he doesn't do so is when he does a night shift which only happens from time to time about twice a month. If he doesn't get his 6 to 8 hours he is usually grouchy but never to his family only at work.
