he's a very calm and patient guy. doesn't like starting conflicts and tries to avoid them, but if arguments happen, he quickly forgets them

he pretty much has the same music taste and taste in cars as tanner (that's why they're best friends!)

he still has his silvery sunglasses and that blue shirt that he wore in driver 2 lying somewhere around

jones usually hums some songs when doing a monotonous job

he also has flashbacks whenever he sees tanner wearing anything light blue

like tanner, he just wants stability and rest

he ocasionally buys tanner hot chocolate when they stop for donuts while on the job

he likes nature!! and he sometimes invites tanner to go for a walk with him in the forest after a tiring day at work

he's a caring guy and will help with *almost* anything

i don't know if anyone will be interested in reading this, but, i present to you -

my headcanons about tanner:

actually, the songs that you hear in d:sf soundtrack are tanner's favourite songs, he just remembers them while in coma

he's a pretty hot-tempered and emotional guy. he can shout at someone because he's in a bad mood or whatever, but he tries to control himself around people he trusts

tanner is just emotionally burnt out from everything, really

his self-control is pretty bad when he's drunk. i mean, when he's drunk he talks about some funny nonsense and rants about random people he doesn't like for whatever reason. it's kinda funny, but it's a good thing he doesn't get drunk a lot

he had a wife (that one is kinda canon? i mean the devs wanted to add tanner's ex-wife into the storyline) but they divorced because 1) they had different life views 2) she eventually got tired of tanner overworking himself and diving more and more into the job routine

aaand speaking of overworking. because of that, tanner usually falls asleep right behind the desk, while working on important reports (that one is canon, yes). if this happens, jones covers him with a jacket/whatever, puts the super important papers away and just lets him rest

jones is also pretty much the only person he trusts

he often has same dreams that he had while being in coma, like cop chases in san francisco, doing crazy stunts and etc. if he doesn't have those dreams, he has nightmares, in which crows and broken glass appear quite a lot, instead

and he talks in his sleep a lot. in fact, john can keep a normal conversation while literally sleeping

john has a lot of scars, especially gunshot scars

he really loves his car and calls it «his pride and joy»

stability relaxes tanner. that's all he wants from life. stability and rest. and i bet you would want that too if you were him
