Bio:

Jaxon was born in the year 574. To a mother who had, near the time of her conception of him, went astray and slept with a Djinn, and an unknowing father. Mortal life hadn't started off very exciting, not back in those days. Even though the country he had been born in, itself,  was in a bit of a war during the beginning of his life, Jaxon and his family didn't live anywhere near the places that were in conflict, as well as had masterfully stayed out of it if it at all did get too close to home. Jaxon grew up as a farm boy, helping his mother, father and all seven of his elder siblings around their farmland. Being the youngest made it easy for him to find more about who he was, beside some farm boy. But he never acquired the education needed to help his potential grow to it’s full extent, until much later in his life.

Life had gone on uneventfully and stagnant, until his 18th year when the farm had been facing an issue with some strange virus that hit some of the other local villagers. Some creature was sucking the blood out of the farm animals. (Which of course was a vampire that had originally been behind the attacks.) One night, after most of the farm animals had been killed off, greatly causing the Lyre family despair. This left work on the farm to be harder to keep, and the family had been unable to earn a living. Unable to provide for themselves, they made plans to finally move from their family home of the last 100 years. But before this plan could fall through, Jaxon contracted the strange virus. Which he had got from one of the locals in the small village near his home one evening as he was walking home. Jaxon could not remember what had happened during this walk back home, that night.  His family, fearing he'd been cursed had abandoned him to die. Thinking that this was what was going to be the end for him, like many other villagers that had shown the same symptoms over the years, had thought. He resigned himself to his fate, having no other options.

Jaxon had mostly been out of it during his entire transformation into a vampire, becoming severely weak during that time. It took him quite a long time to completely turn, and during this time he swore he could remember someone would visit his abandoned family home every day,  checking on him. For the longest time he just believed he was dying from the virus, still not understand what it was, or what it was doing to him. But he eventually felt something was different about him, and there were noticeable physical difference as well. Once he was finally turned, he had found a note beside him. It told him to travel and learn, and that one day they would meet again. Jaxon had no idea who the one who wrote the note was.

After many years of trying to adjust to life as a vampire, acquiring a strange ability for creating fire at will. And then one day, just like the note all the years before had told him, a new note had appeared. This one told him to head to North Carolina. Jaxon was admittedly happy when he found that note. Feeling that he could finally meet whoever it was that stayed with him when he was abandoned. Perhaps they would know who it was that had changed him, maybe they were possibly the one. Jaxon perhaps had gotten too excited. Once he'd arrived there, there was nothing. No more notes. No one he could identify as the person from so long ago. But he stayed in North Carolina, even as several years passed, and still he hadn't run into the person he'd waited so long to meet. Jaxon eventually came to terms with the idea that they were never intending to meet him. He eventually moved on with his life in the town.

Having found nothing more to do with his time in the town Jaxon chose to start a band with a couple of others he'd managed to become acquainted with.  He plays lead guitar and is the lead vocalist. It pays the bills and allows him to have the freedom he desires, as well. The name of his band eventually ended up being called ΑΡΜΑΓΕΔΩΝ. As of the moment it is hard to say how well the band is actually doing as far as fame is concerned. Jaxon doesn't care about the fame at the end of the day. Despite his finally being able to settle down in one place, in the back of his mind he still wants to find whoever it was he'd met so long ago.

However, another note eventually came. This one saying he had to visit Wales, and an old castle that had long since, seemingly been abandoned. Though this newest note may have came too late, as Jaxon shrugged it off, deciding he was over going on wild goose chases and wanted to keep focus on his current life style.

NICKNAME: Jax

AGE: 19

GENDER: Male

SEXUALITY: Homosexual

LIKES: LARPing, Boardgames, Video Games, Sweets, Reading, Storms, Space, Collecting Cards, Weird Hats, Hoodies,

DISLIKES: Gossip, the cold, Suspension, Heights, most sports, flowers,

PERSONALITY: Jax is often times seen as fun-loving and naive. He usually doesn't notice when someone has ill intentions. Nor does he like to think negatively about others. Because he likes to have fun he'll usually get himself into a lot of trouble, and danger. Jax isn't very athletic, but he usually will jump in if he's invited to play, not really accepting of the idea of turning down a challenge. When upset he can sometimes be a bit hostile and uninviting. But usually, when he's not in the mood he will often leave instead of allowing anyone to further ruin his mood. Because of this he is often times private and keeps certain things to himself.

BIOGRAPHY: Being the sole child in what had to be one the larger wealthier families in his state had often been a source of contempt for Flavius father as he had grown up. They had before then, been unable to have children, or the children did not make it to their first birthdays. It had a lot to do with a corrupt strand of DNA in one of his parent's bloodlines. Whatever this little hiccup was, it caused the deaths of plenty other potential siblings. But it wasn't that out of all the kids who could have been, that Flavius had been the one. It was more to do with his parent's views. Aside from them always being neglective and having nanny's, maids and other servants take care of their son as he grew up. When he had displayed interest in the same sex is where they had drawn the line, of all the things they had considered damnable before that. It was this that had been the final straw. When he had been seventeen he was caught by several gossipy media journalists.

But it wasn't that he was out getting high on drugs, or anything. It was that he was caught kissing another man. The thing was, his father was also in the news around this time, for something different. Something that had gotten news outlets interested in the elder Claerwen's entire family. Who were also pure blooded spoiled rich bastards, and managed to maintain dignity and grace throughout the prying. It had been Jax who has managed to step out of line. The youngest of his entire family by far. After the storm, Jax had been moved out to Virginia, almost seemingly completely removed from his family. By the time he was 19 years old he had moved to an apartment building in Cary, West Virginia. Where no one really recognizes him, which allows him to carry on a decent living working nights at a gas station. So far he has been able to keep his old life a complete mystery from his new friends. His father being able to hide most of the media coverage from reaching too far over the country. And the last couple of years has naturally erased him from many people's minds. Even plenty of theories that might still linger about him seem to all say he died, as he only guys by his nickname these days.

Bio(?):

At birth, along with the others in his social circle, he was taken from his parents and moved to  their holy land, where he lived for the first month of his life. During this time rituals are done, to bring health and happiness to the infants in their lives. In the world Courtney was born in there are some who were born with Gems morphed into their bodies. Which so far have not been found to do anything significant for those born with them.  Courtney  happened to be one of those who were born with a gem. This gem was located near his spine on his lower back. After the month-long stay at the sacred site the babies are branded with the sign of the moon on their left hip.

After that nothing else really happened outside of being raised in a very strict home. Courtney spent this time learning things he’d need in adulthood and how to work in a unit.  In the ‘normal’ schools where he lived with others who did not practice the same religion as him and others like him he did  exceptionally well. School seemed to come easily to him. He even seemed to make friends easy and catch onto things from the outsider’s perspective. Things went on like this for the next few years. Courtney had made many connections during this time.

It wasn’t until he was eight years old that things drastically changed. As with many in his religion he was removed from regular schooling. Over the next year of his life he was taken back to the sacred site were he and others in his age group were held for the next year and began learning lessons that would help them later in their lives. Their religion was more than just worship. It was an agency that raised agents to do the bidding of those that would hire them. Courtney was able to learn things in this new setting just as quickly as he had in the normal school.  This year is one of the toughest his people have to go through. They have to be taught how to control their emotions and learn the beginnings of combat. Which despite Courtney’s quickness to learn, he was not the most physically strong in his age group.

This lifestyle was harsh, the was no tolerance if a student should fail to get a satisfactory grade on their performances.  The set of skills that Courtney and his age group were given and graded on where skills not commonly taught with ease to the outside world. At the age of nine after learning the basics of what they needed to learn they were given a few weeks to practice and build up on these basics, and to figure out what they wanted to be for the rest of their lives. Courtney did not waste any time obeying this and spent almost every day practicing till he could barely move any move.  When the age right ceremony began and he was called up to declare what career he’d wished to have outside of the agency Courtney requested something that involved being able to work with computers. Feeling at the time that this would help him and his team later on in life.

He had noticed before that not many others would choose such a career path, because it was not as psychical as others had hoped. They viewed those who had chosen career paths like it as weak and practically useless when things hit the fan. Courtney welcomed the challenge to prove them all otherwise. After everyone chose their careers the group was made to fight each other  in a ritual fight.

Courtney had disliked the idea of having to fight one of his group mates, but understood that there had been no other options. Wanting to continue to make his family proud Courtney went through with his ritual fight with one of the strongest in his age group, a girl who had been almost as equally cruel and vicious the entire time Courtney had known her. When the fight began, Courtney and  his opponent spent the first few minutes circling, trying to read each others movements and find their weak points. When the real fighting began she toyed with him by throwing punches and managed to surprise Courtney with a kick to the head. From that point on Courtney was impaired. The rest of the fight was dizzying for him and his focus blurred in and out throughout.

Being tossed to the ground after more fighting, the girl was about to deliver a finishing blow. Courtney’s instincts had finally managed to kick itself into high gear and kicked her feet out from under her. The fight was dragged out for a few more minutes after this. Unfortunately ending in Courtney’s having to snap the others neck.  The ritual fights were not typically set up to be ones where you fight to the death. But there were no restrictions on doing so. After the fight was over and Courtney was removed and taken to get his injuries checked out. While he was being held,  he was told they would be keeping him in confinement over the following days and have his mentality monitored.

Once he was released from holding he was sent back to his age group to complete the rites left for him. This included being chosen by one of the girls available for him to marry.  When standing in the last line of boys left over from the days before. Courtney was rejected time and time again because of his frail looking appearance.  That wasn’t until a girl from the age group of the tens came in. She had been left over for a year from her groups odd number of males. At first she didn’t show interest in Courtney, but not wanting to be left even farther behind from her group she settled on him, in the end.

After everyone was paired off they were then separated again. Courtney was taken to receive the tattoos for completing the rites. These tattoos were placed on the palms of his hands and the back of his neck. After the separation  Courtney met the girl again and they exchanged the jewelry and have to decide which marriage tattoos they want on the others body. This usually is an oath. After they decide where they would like their tattoos placed on the others body, they are separated again to prepare to be officially married.

Once Courtney was married he was given a few days of rest and to get to know his new wife before having to get his marriage tattoos done. As he had still been healing from the rites tattoos. Courtney learned a few things about his new wife, but had not really felt like he’d gotten to know her well enough. They were only nine years old and he had felt she had a very wicked wide of her that she had obviously been trying to keep him from noticing this. And Courtney wasn’t concerned about this till years later.

The tattooing for marriage did not often involve scaring, but for Courtney’s wife, she insisted. This is where he got the massive scaring on the right side of his body.  After receiving the final scaring and tattooing ( The words on his shoulder blades) Courtney was sent to be assigned to his spy team. This team would become his new family from the time of his choosing onward.

Only one or two from the same groups could be assigned to a team. Courtney and another boy from his group had eventually been chosen by his mentor to join their team. After this assignment had been placed Courtney and the boy were ordered to pack their things and board a train to where their mentor and the rest of the team had been based.  The two nine-year old set out to begin the rest of their training with their mentor a few days later. Upon arriving at their new home and base of operations their mentor. Where they would spend vast majorities of their next few years training within the team structure.

At eleven years old Courtney and the other from his age group had been assigned their spots within their team. Courtney of course was given the position of the assisting the main hacker of the group at the time. After this the main hacker of the team would teach him the guidelines of his position within the team. Nothing outside of this really had been any different for Courtney, as he was allowed to pick up having a normal life after this.  The only thing that changed was that they would often move from place to place to complete missions assigned to them.  Which wouldn’t be anything too important for Courtney due to his young age.

Life went on with this new ‘normal’ for him, for the next several years to come.  He began to become a very stable and useful member of the team as the years went on. His trainer eventually become just another partner instead of a teacher.  But of course, as all things seem to go, not everything remains pleasant for too long. At fifteen years old, the team had been assigned to a dangerous mission.  Of course it wasn’t the first the team had been on since Courtney had been assigned to it. But it was the first one that went wrong.

Things had begun just like normal, with the mission. The field agents had gotten into position inside the building where their ‘mark’ had been. His mentor was set to assassinate the mark, who appeared to be the owner of the building and the man working a shady business that was happening within it.  They were most of the way through the mission when they noticed something out of the ordinary, their mark hadn’t been in the office at the top of the building, like planned. Agent K ordered Courtney and his partner to go ahead and hack into the mark’s computer and steal the data on it.

It hadn’t been until later when The Mark came out of where they had been hiding.  A gas began to fill the room Courtney and Agent R ( Courtney’s Partner) had been left in. By the time the two of them had noticed the gas it had already been working to affect the both of them. Agent R shouted at Courtney to get out, but it had been far too late for either of them to escape.Fortunately Agent K and the rest of the team had, at around this time, noticed what was going on. A secret door within The Marks office opened up and  a man stepped out and fired at Courtney and Agent R. A bullet managed to hit Courtney in the hip, sending him to the ground. Several more men stepped through the secret door inside he office and aimed their weapons at the two agents.

The Mark stepped over to Agent R, and from behind the gas mask  he was wearing (Along with the others)  he shouted at Agent R to get down and then shouted the same to Courtney. Sitting on the ground as orders were shouted at the other men in the room by The Mark, Courtney figured that if the rest of the team didn’t get their in time he and his partner would end up dead. The Mark walked toward Agent R a moment later, placing the gun in their hand to R’s head. Shouting for information then. Courtney watched as the moments ticked by, his partner beginning to crack under the pressure they were under, as well as from the gas that was filling both their lungs.

Or perhaps it could have had more to do with the gas, as Courtney could feel himself also feeling strange after a few minutes of breathing it in. With a laugh, The Mark teased them the two agents, momentarily speaking of the gas and then asking how they both were feeling. Things started to become hazy at this time, Courtney’s mind grew unfocused and he started to black out.  He didn’t know how much longer it took then, but through his haziness he’d seen The Mark shoot Agent R in the head, sending splatter of the other Agents blood speckling onto his face, before the gun was aimed at him.

In the next few moments he dropped back onto the floor, everything seemed to slow down for him for a few moments before hitting the floor and coughing up blood. He could hear voices, shouting all around him as his vision blurred until he could see nothing but darkness. For what seemed like forever after that he could hear himself choking on his own blood and noises that were harder to make out, do to how far away they seemed and because he could not see what was causing them. Then someone grabbed him and lifted him up into their arms and started to whisper to him until finally Courtney could no longer hear anything.

Years after this incident, and many successful missions later, Courtney became a very talented and valuable Agent to his people. He lives with side effects from that day many years ago, but he usually hides this very well from others, especially outsiders. Courtney became the lead coder for his team and has not taken on any one to train after him, from lack of others wanting to become a hacker, and do to the fact that the rest of the teams youth and skill has made them have to reject potential new members.  Lately missions have not been very common, so most of the group have grown accustomed to living their daily lives like most other citizens of the town(s) they live in. Courtney spends most of his days working at a cafe and being the typical dork type.

Send me a 😇 for a starter where my character is possessed by an angel

Jax made a face, there was definitely something off, about how he was feeling suddenly. Suddenly hissing he wrapped his arms around his body and curled into himself. After a few painful cries of pain and hisses, he finally stopped making noises but remained curled up. His breathing slowly normalized before becoming almost too quiet. Faintly, several cracks of light started to form under his skin. An ear-splitting whistle could be heard emanating from his body. Dropping onto his knees he continued to hold himself as pain suddenly started to inch over him in waves, growing more intense every second.

Send “😶” and my muse will lose one of their 5 senses for one thread with your muse.

Jax frowned as the other was showing them something. Lifting his hand up a moment later he pulls his sunglasses down a bit, looking over the top of them at the other person. The funny thing was, he was blind, so whatever they were showing him and his ability to see when he looked were non-existent.  His usually dark brown eyes were paler and hazy looking as if clouds had been mixed into his iris’ “ Oh wow, look at that, that’s a nice ….tree?” He humored them, not wanting to be too rude.
