BATTLE ROLE,Healer
SEXUALITY,Unknown
AGE,Forty-three
PERSONALITY,Jonathan gets his kicks from making fun of everyone and everything around him when the appropriate situation presents itself, taking full advantage of every opportunity to be funny at anyone's expense, which generally repels potential friends. This is a textbook psychological defense mechanism subconsciously used to deflect others so as to avoid any potentially harmful long-term relationships, developed over several years since he was six when his parents seperated.
Jonathan is neither wholly dominant nor submissive, and relies on his judgement (or lack thereof) to decide who is right and what the best course of action would be. Whether he is taking or giving orders, everyone around can be and should expect to be the butt of a joke. He is not exactly mean, as he enjoys applying himself in a field that requires him to help others, but he exercises no discretion or discrimination, carrying what many would consider a sensitivity issue.
APPEARANCE,
Short brown hair, green eyes, six feet, average and averager, not to mention a closet full of white shirts and brown sweater vests and slacks. Also sports a beard clipped to a five o' clock shadow.
Despite not being able to stick out, his appearances have attracted the attention of some would-be lovers. Too bad none of them liked the crack about the way they looked.
WEAPONS,
Dagger: Carried in a sheath at the waist. It's just a dagger, nothing special. Found in pretty much any store carrying weapons. Its light weight allows Jonathan to move both quickly and efficiently without being hindered. He can hold his own against a common monster or two, but being part faerie, he is physically weak and therefore not a fighter by any means, and will undoubtedly fail to fall anything much more dangerous than weak field monsters, though he can help with a flank in a dire emergency; a knife in the back still hurts. Engaging another person head on is pretty much out of the question.
ITEMS,
Ruby: A blood-red jewel about the size of a fist. Allegedly a gift from Gunther to Janice, who both did not want to look at it and could not bring herself to part with it, so she gave it to Jonathan as a present. Gunther's ruby has become a regular item for Jonathan to carry in his pocket; he now feels naked without its weight in his pants. He feels secure whenever he caresses its smooth surface in his pocket. Although it is undoubtedly worth a fair sum, Jonathan has developed a sentimental attachment to it.
ABILITIES,Teleport: Being unable to hold his own in actual fights, Jonathan taught himself to channel his energy into placing himself somewhere safe and secure. Unfortunately, he could not achieve this without using up all of his energy at once, which is where his attachment to his dad's jewel becomes integral. Jonathan can use the gem as a beacon to home in on for a more accurate and efficient teleport. He does not need to see it for this to work, and even if he loses it, it will still act fine. The act itself is very bright and not in any way stealthy. Jonathan disappears in a flash of white light to reappear on top of the ruby in a similar flash which is capable of generating a radial kinetic force to clear or break away even heavy debris in case the ruby becomes trapped. The force can also be used to stumble anyone nearby.
Using a teleport costs half of Jonathan's remaining energy
The ruby can not be placed or thrown in the same post as a teleport, but can be picked up immediately afterwards
Can only teleport once in a post
Siphon: In the rare instance that Jonathan stabs an enemy, he passively absorbs some of their life force and can use it to substitute spent energy. This does not directly heal Jonathan or further damage his victim.
RACIAL ABILITIES,
Healing: Faeries are well-known for their ability to fully heal even the recently deceased. Jonathan inherited that power from his dad, and uses it to help others when a fair reward is its foreseeable consequence.[/i][/size][/blockquote]
Jonathan can heal in bursts or over time, on one person or over an area, or attach himself to a single person to transform them into a semi-effective tank. He can also heal himself.
Healing does take energy from Jonathan, of course. It feels a lot like every muscle in his body has suddenly been exercised. His energy required is not proportional to the severity of the injuries, allowing for more rapid and effective nursing even to multiple people. More concentrated, sustained healing, as well as healing over an area will both require more energy to use, especially when nursing heavy damage or over larger areas. If Jonathan expends too much of his energy, his body will shut off to sleep and recuperate. It will never kill him, but he will become useless and incredibly vulnerable for the rest of the day and can not be woken up.
As of right now, Jonathan is capable of witholding enough energy at one time to fully heal three average humans from near death before collapsing.
Respiration: Whenever Jonathan uses his faerie magic, his body starts ventilating, pumping blood faster to convert oxygen to ATP and expel the carbon dioxide, as though he had just finished running. In an amazing accident of nature, his human respiratory system moves his faerie blood very easily, allowing for an incredible energy-recovery rate and amazing stamina, which means he can run longer distances and heal more often than normal.
10% energy recovered for every post without expenditure
Physical exertion halts recovery, but does not use energy
HISTORY,
Jonathan was spawned from a human mother named Janice, and a faerie father named Gunther, an interracial pairing that Jonathan has always found mildly perturbing. Gunther had abandoned his rambling ways to hopefully settle with a wife and child, but when Jonathan turned six, Gunther realized that a static lifestyle was not for him, and expressed his heartfelt good-byes to Janice and Jonathan to continue aimlessly wandering the wilderness. Jonathan harbored confused feelings for his dad; the only thing he could remember about him was that he had some kind of hatred for his heritage and tried to hide it as much as possible. Jonathan still wonders if Gunther had left because he hated Jonathan for being born as a part of what he seemed to hate so much.
Jonathan continued to live with his mom in a homely little cottage by Lake Hylia, learning more about himself, but never more about his dad, supposedly for the better. His parents' seperation led him to subconsciously develop a witty defense mechanism to avoid any relationships of his own by cracking jokes for his amusement, which his mom adored.
When Jonathan became old enough, he realized he had to start making some money, so he became a pair of hired healing hands for stoutly adventurers looking to plunder this or that stash of booty. He has been doing so for a couple decades now, fending for himself and Janice, who has been making a living off of her erotic fiction novels to her son's discontent.
