Build and Skin Color: Jonah has a wiry build that seems to fit well with his tall form. His arms and torso show the effect of his training and physical conditioning, but he is not overly muscular. His skin is fair, but it has an overall pale look but it is not deathly whire as there is color to his skin, just not much.

Facial Features and Eye Color: He has clear green eyes that seem to have a more suddle strength behind them. But yet they look compassionate and gentle at the same time. His face is rather normal for a human with no real distinguishing features that stick out. He has kept his skin well under care so it does not hold any blemishes or acne. He also shaves on regular occasion so he normally sports a well trimmed face.

Hair color and Style: Jonah's hair is a deep brown, being dark and shaggy upon his head. Normally unruly and unordered when not in ceremony or an important occasion. Many times he will just let it grow out long (Which looks terrible on him) until he cuts it eventually.

Psychological Characteristics
Personality: Jonah is a reserved and calm indiviual normally. But when it comes to his ideals, his spirit is set afire by his nationalsim. But when not in combat, he is an intellectual, preferring to watch and study as things play out. He can be hard to read at times. But he is affected when deeply disturbing instances occur and he may become unstable. He is not very open to those he does not trust. But if you gain his friendship, he'll stick true to it. Jonah isn't much adept with handling women, as he often freezes or studders when speaking to them. This may be in part to his shy personality, so thus he normally doesn't speak when around women. He also seems to have a strong disliking for aliens or Yamatians.

History
Jonah was born to his parents, Mattiask and Terra Aran. His family was one of the more wealthy folk on Nepleslia. So thus he was kept mostly away from the common rabble, gang wars, theft, rape and the such. He inherited his fathers love for Math and Science early on his life. He was taught at home, due to his parents will not to expose him much to the rabble in the heart of Nepleslia. Early on he was taught math, science, history and other essential classes from his father. Who was a intelligent and wealthy corperate investor and when he wasn't working, he taught his son. He adopted his mothers firey nationalism though as he grew up, hearing about the unrest and fighting outside on Nepleslia.

This was when he started to form ideas to try and help end this chaos and civil fighting within his homeworld. He considered the possibility of the Nepleslian Military. His father tried to end his sons nationalistic ideals with no avail. When Jonah was 14, he would often go out into the City in secret. Just to see what had engulfed his people. At times he had been hurt in this occasions, or came home with no money and roughed up. This seemed to only make his resolve greater.

He continued his studies with his father, excelling in math and biology in paticular as his father had done. Though his growing firey nationalism could not be helped. He had few friends early in his childhood, often staying at home and reading, or watching reports on the events of Nepleslian society. In his early years, it was more out of boredom than anything, but as he became older, he started to understand what was really going on.

The seeds of fire had been planted early on and now they came into full bloom. Jonah, joined the Nepleslian Army when he was 17, against his fathers wishes and with his mothers applaud. He went off for training on both Nepleslia and Delsauria, learning how to fight in a vary of terrains, how to fire a weapon, how defeat someone with his bare hands. When he was 18, he heard of the Nepleslian Empire seceding from the Yamatai Empire. He cheered on the decision, now Nepleslia would not be dominated by a foreign power any longer in his mind.

At last when he was finished with his training, and ready to fight and possibly die for the ideal he has given himself to. He readies himself for his first real part within the Nepleslian Army, in which the real story begins.

Skills:
Communications: Jonah can write and speak needed commands effectively and quickly. He can also use communication devices to a moderate level. Along with coded and/or crypted messages to be communicated or issued.

Fighting and Physical: Jonah is adept with standard military and dirty fighting. Along with training in knives, other melee weapons, handguns, rifles and the such. He excells at long range firing with a rifle, as he earned high marks during his training and can keep rifle shots well aimed and on target when firing. He also has a moderate skill with swordplay, in which he trains on his own daily. He also can pilot Power Armor to a moderate amount, though relying on the AI of the power armor to do anything very advanced.

Survival: Jonah is well trained and hardened for many Nepleslian and Yamataian enviroments. But he excells within the desert as his rough training on delsauria taught him things the typical training cannot. He can live off the wild, use the terrain to his advantage, and Camouflage himself well within the terrain.

Strategy: Jonah has a moderate grasp of advanced strategy and tactics on the battlefield. His schooling even included a few classes on classic military formations and tactics. He knows the mainstream rules and guidelines within Military code and disicpline.

MathematicsHe is schooled heavily in advanced math formulas, calculations, physics and measurements. He can conduct field estimates of distance and calculate trajectory roughly on the battlefield. This can be used both for tactical and personal use. His understanding of math and such allows him to understand the concepts of war better at times.

Biology Jonah can grasp and understand the natural enviroment on many worlds, human genetics and various Nepleslian and Yamataian wildlife, animal and plants included. This was also taught extensively during his schooling almost as soon as he started learning. Though at times he can mix up facts and can say the wrong thing.

Leadership: This is a field where Jonah lacks, due to his lack of real experience, and solo personality he doesn't hold the mantle of Leader well. He has an understanding of commands, orders, and morake. But he is better at possibly advising than giving the orders himself. He personally has no wish of command, only to serve Nepleslia. He really only leads himself. But who knows, this skill may grow during his time fighting.

((I hope I did a moderately okay job at doing this my first time around.))
 
Haha! You came back! Welcome to the SAoN!

I'm not one of the Bio-approvers but I'm going to point out a few points.

1. Star Army of Nepleslia Ranks
Every marine starts off as a Private Third Class unless he has officer qualifications or has seen action.

2. History
Kinda strange, it reminded me of my own Vel Steyr family. Some of the mods might object to the born as part of a wealthy family thing, and I cant really relate to the reason he could have been so patriotic.

3. Skills
Most marines are Power Armor users. You might wanna add that into your figthing skills.

4. Contact

Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks for pointing those bits out to me! I fixed and added the power armor thing. (I knew I was forgetting something. :P) If the patriotism causes issues... And the wealthy class, I'll think of something. I was trying to aim to not be the typical street urchen who lost his family and hated Nepleslia and was just looking for a way to get out of his sorry situation.

But thanks again for your advice and suggestions. :)
 
Hey, welcome to the SAoN. If you happen to hop on the Alliance, I'l be your medic.

Pretty nice bio, but there isn't so much of a Nepleslian civil war as there is open hostilities between Neplesia and Kennewes. I'm pretty sure the Nepleslian civil war happened a while ago, when we split off from Yamatai.

(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
 
Well Omega, it is kind of a civil war. The Reds are basically the South, and the Greens are the North of Nepleslian society.
 
A. True, it may be a Nepleslian civil war, but that does not mean it is the Nepleslian Civil War

B. Back to the guy needin' some approval and what not.
 
If it proves to be a problem, I can change it to correctness.

And yes, hopefully when someone who can approve gets a few minutes. They may take a look at this.

Thank you for all your words. I do hope to join you soon in the Role-Play.
 
Is the player dead too? :/
