| Jared Kratz |
| Name: Jared Kratz Age: 29 Sex: Male Race/Nationality: German Theme Song: Nine Inch Nails - Hurt Faction: The Ashes of Ancestry Likes: His late wife, Elizabeth. Nights on the town, caring only about the physical world while he is still alive, not caring much for what happens after death. Likes to work on his own, and has a few very close friends who would do him favours on a dime. Likes his own sense of fashion, and his heavy music taste. Dislikes: Government. He has a strong hatred for the government. His wife, Elizabeth, was involved in the First Collapse, and during the government's cleanup, she disappeared in a time glitch caused by the chaos brought by the collapse. Because of this, Jared loathes the Government and the Nightblades, and will not hesitate to attack them. Strength: Jared's instincts are peerless. His few friends have learned to trust them. If not by the five senses, Jared feels things with a supernatural perception. He knows danger well. He can easily decipher a person's identity whom he had previously become familiar with, without laying eyes upon them or hearing their voice, mearly from their aura. Jared knows your secrets but dares not spill them, for he is loyal as he is dangerous. He likes to be invisible, stealthily disappearing from a scene should things get choppy. Weakness: It is also this gift that has given him his curse. Someone's touch can easily alarm him and even cause him physical pain. His reliance on electronic devices can also lead to problems in the field, in the midst of danger, should these devices fail. He also has problems trusting people. Basic Description of how character looks: Physically, Jared strives for nothing. Naturally attractive, handsome, and strong, but hardly obsessed with his own appearance. He's more concerned with getting things the way he wants. Sporting ash-blonde hair, and deep-coloured eyes, he never found it hard to woo a woman on one of his 'James Dean' days. Across his right forearm is etched a twisted tattoo design, some sort of German mark or seal from Red Flag. As for his attire, he long grew out of his rebellious teenage style. With his growing lack of concern for his apparel, he's usually found in worn Levis and cuffed shirt with no holes if it's a good day. In the field, his clothing reflects his determination - black, form-fitting cat burglar outfit and a black ski mask, complete with a pair of red eye goggles, gloves and black softsoles to match. List of items or weapons carried: Colt Anaconda high-caliper pistol, w/ attached long-range sight. Twin Bagh Nakh claw gloves, each having four 6-inch curved blades, each in a leather sheath on either side of his waist. Smokebombs - small, looking like grey fishing bobbers, containing compressed gas. Profile: Jared is one of the most curious individuals you could come to know. His jokes don't go over well, always taken too seriously because he doesn't know when to break his serious expression. Often times he simply looks far into the distance, contemplating many things alone. The most frightening trait is his mystery. He knows far more about you than you will ever come to know about him, and he doesn't let out much about himself. His eyes seem to pierce your soul, and at the same time set up a barrier to his own. His touch is soft but stimulating, giving you a tingle of energy and a curiosity of his character. Intriguing and bold, Jared is never boring and always obscure. Jared Kratz was born and lived his childhood in the region of Hessen, Germany. Since entering teen-hood, he was dispelled by his parents and disowned upon the discovery that the leader of the Red Flag underground operation had secretly adopted him as a son. The leader swiftly took Jared under his wing and taught him the ways of the German Underground, and he underwent brutal training through which few survive. He had the esteem of the Master to help him through. He graduated the Red Flag training with his life, his "coming of age". He attended a German University, fully paid by the underground group. The leader had high-hopes for Jared. He traveled world-wide, doing his work and picking up knowledge wherever he went, learning several languages that were vital to his work. Then Time Travel was invented. It provided a convenient way to travel back in time to assassinate his target, catching them fully unaware. Then the Collapse came, and this part of his live was erased from his life during the restoration of order by the government's Nightblades. His wife, whom he was married to for five years, died due to this. She was a key researcher in the invention, and she was killed by the government's Nightblades during their 'cleanup'. The Red Flag, having relied on this technology, was overthrown in this newly altered reality, and Jared was on his own. The only thing he knew from the previous timeline was what he read in his late wife's diary, about the research, the attack on the facility, and in the last few pages something she had heard from the 'men from the future' regarding the destruction of true time travel and the alteration of the true reality. Jared, having a newly bleak outlook on life, decided to fight against the Nightblades for his wife's sake. He despised that he lived in a false, altered reality, and planned to attempt to restore it to it's original in hopes of saving his wife. Occasionally he works with other people who wish the same thing as him, however he has slightly different plans. All he wants is his wife back, and to spill the blood of the people who did this. |
