_________________

Physical Description:
Tall and tan, Jonesy keeps his dark hair cropped close to his head on the sides, with just a bit of length on top. There's a subtle mottling to his skin around his back and outer portions of his arms, and he sports dark banding around his neck and arms, with single bands of coloration around each of his fingers just past the second knuckle. They seem like tattoos, but are actually just a natural occurrence, speaking of something more than human at some point of his ancestry.

Personality:
A natural second in command, Jonesy is good at enforcing orders and making sure they stay enforced, owing to the fact that under 90% of circumstances the dude is intimidating as hell. This is more obvious in person than it is over text, owing to Jonesy's psychic abilities; he just straight up exudes an aura of creepiness, and his tendency to collect spiders and carry the bastards around does not help matters at all.

Utterly devoted and fiercely loyal if you've earned it, Jonesy will do absolutely anything necessary for those he cares about, though presently that is a short list indeed. It's also around those same folks that he'll drop his aura around, letting go of his scary officer persona and showing a (admittedly rather dry) sense of humor. Presently this rare side of him is only really shown to his commander, which results in more than its share of little rumors. But the fact of the matter is Jonesy trusts his superior to hell and back, because they've been to both.

Fun Facts!:
  • Has a ton of pet spiders, and all of them are named Boris, no matter what their shape, size, color or gender. It's almost impossible to tell which Boris he's referring to at any given time
  • Hella gay, but markedly reserved for an Aedolian.
  • Only ever eats with a knife and a fork. Pizza, burritos, even nachos. He hates the feeling of food on his fingers.

Magic/Abilities:
Telepathy - Decent
Empathy - Skilled in "reading", phenomenally talented in "projecting". It's actually become partially natural, to where he maintains his projection most of the day. It's where his aura comes from: a constant vague sort of anxiety, leaving anyone around him markedly unnerved. In combat he pushes that aura to its maximum, leaving those affected in a state of blind panic and terror. It might also have something to do with how he can handle all his spiders without a problem, oftentimes carrying several smaller ones on his person.

Relationships:
-Pilot Noble Jacob "Jack" Ladner, his commanding officer in the Margad Scorpions, and his close friend.
-A long string of ex-boyfriends and would-be paramours, which have all failed spectacularly.
-All of the Borises, his lovely pet spiders.

His dragon, Deimos, who is exceptionally spiny and likes throwing his weight around. It was he who mostly decided that they should go into the Scorpions, and who mostly decided that they would remain there, turning the accumulated malice outwards and onto their enemies.

History
A talented empath even from a young age, Jonesy was always able to gauge others' feelings and project what he needed to onto others. When he was younger, it was mostly a vague sense of being charming, which coupled with his friendly personality did him quite a few favors, often resulting in being pleasantly popular with the other guys his age.

When he was drafted into Candidacy, he was super stoked-- and while going through Candidacy was hard, he excelled, using his abilities to better solidify his team and boost morale, letting them work together more effectively. Naturally, this meant he was best suited for teamwork, and could not have been prouder when he was recruited into the Scorpions, an elite fighter squadron!

Except he didn't know just how awful it would be. Suddenly his ability to get people to like him was a hell of a curse, and over years of abuse it twisted his natural abilities to where Jonesy only ever exudes an aura of malice, a kind of defense mechanism that he has yet to be able to fully let go of, even years after their prior Commander and Squad Leaders have been dishonorably discharged and imprisoned.

Still, it continues to serve him well, and now he projects that awful feeling of anxiety and insecurity on his enemies, rather than rallying his teammates, and feeling intimidating also helps to keep *most* recruits in line until they get into the swing of being proper Scorpions. The only person he lets his guard down around is his current Commanding Officer, Jack, to whom he is forever grateful for pulling him and his other squadmates out of their former hell.

[NOTE: ONLY SOME HIGHER GOVERNMENT PILOTS AND SCORPIONS MEMBERS WHO LIVED THROUGH THIS ARE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO GET THE OLD LEADER/COMMANDER ARRESTED. Jonesy absolutely refuses to talk about it, and it will absolutely set him off if the subject is pushed.]
