• Height: 5'6” (1.6764 m)
• Mass: 160 LBS (72.574 KG)
• Measurements:

Build and Skin Color: Jonathan's build is well proportioned, with a muscular build; typical of common Minkan designs. As he was created with military service in mind, he has already incorporated the various enhancements (to include strength) and therefore seems to have better tone than might be expected. His skin tone is dark gray.

Eyes and Facial Features: Jonathan's eyes are round (Nordic) in shape. The color of his eyes is unusual, in that the left eye is white while the right eye is a piercing neon green.

Ears: The ears are typical: human round, with free (unattached) earlobes.

Hair Color and Style: Jonathan keeps his black hair short, both out of necessity as a soldier, in addition to ease of maintenance in any case.

Distinguishing Features:

Personality: Jonathan is one of those quiet ones. Actions speak louder than words, after all.

While not especially an introvert, he does not yet intentionally seek out others when off duty. Those people he encounters through the course of his duties are more than enough to sustain his daily intake of social interaction.

During high-stress situations he has developed the capability to remain calm, inspiring those around him with his rock-like perseverance irregardless of the dire nature of the current circumstances.

Despite these qualities, Jonathan is far from an emotionless automaton. He feels the same things as others, and just as passionately (if not more so.) The only difference he can see is that, instead of allowing his passions to rule him, he lets such illogical unquantifiables guide and direct his decisions and actions alongside the Regulations of the Star Army and the lawful orders given to him by the officers appointed over him.

On a final note, Jonathan is oblivious to all aspects of prejudice. His only concern is whether or not an individual can actually do what needs to be done.

• Likes: Jonathan enjoys peace and quiet, oddly enough. Space is the ultimate experience, with no air to get in the way of explosions …. or rather, to transmit the sounds of said. A quick flash of light, and then naught but the shine of the stars (as without an atmosphere, there is no twinkling effect.)
• Dislikes: Seafood of any kind: he has a unique twist to his genome which prevents him from enjoying fish, despite the fact that his body will not reject it. The taste may be unpalatable, but it will still go down.
• Goals: Jonathan's single-minded goal is to prevail against the enemies of the Star Empire. He doesn't care who the Villain of the Week is, only that they are prevented from completing their schemes. Ultimately, he aspires to gaining a command of his own.

Created by the Star Army.

Jonathan's life has been quite simple up to this point, consisting of waking up in early YE 34, attending the Star Army Basic training, and completing a number of additional courses to supplement his basic skills. These special skills focused on Space Survival and Demolition. Following his training courses, he has received orders for his first posting.

Jonathan's first duty assignment was to the Plumeria-class Medium Gunship YSS Eucharis. As the Eucharis was already out and about, Jonathan was placed on a shuttle making rounds about the region working infantry assignments and reassignments. His was one of the last stops.

Stepping out onto the desolate, cold, and wet world of UX-11 IX, where Eucharis had landed to take on supplies and other sundry items, wearing his Mindy armor and carrying the remainder of his personal issued equipment in bags, Jonathan soon found himself tossed headfirst into the investigation of a nearby ship. It was of Nepleslian origin, and had obviously been wrecked sometime previously. The ship was found to be stripped of just about anything of use or value. Coupled with a lack of any detectable traps, security became a minimal concern next to trying to get it operational. Given is lack of engineering expertise, Jonathan assisted with what can only be referred to as 'grunt work:“ moving pieces and parts from one place to another. He didn't begrudge this one bit. After all, someone has to do it, and the specialists were already gainfully employed making things work again.

Eucharis soon towed the derelict wreck up into space, and back to civilization. After docking at the Second Squadron Starbase, the crew was mustered out into the station park in dress uniform, where a ceremony was held. Notable achievements were awarded, and promotions issued. Much to his surprise Jonathan was included, now bearing the rank of Nitô Hei.

Star Army Common Skills: Jonathan's Basic Training has imparted all the knowledge and experience a soldier needs to just about be dangerous.

Demolitions: Advanced training has taught Jonathan to identify, manufacture, handle and dispose of explosives. With the proper tools, he can detect and disarm enemy explosives as well.

Survival (Space): From the outset, it was Clear to Jonathan that his life would be spent aboard one form of spacecraft or another. To this end he has devoted a significant portion of his advanced training towards survival in such a hostile environment.
