PERMISSIONS/INFO

OOC

• backtagging yes, always
• threadhopping ask first
• violence/death given the nature of the character, yes -- if you're playing some superpowered soldier or magic user you can expect him to be at a disadvantage, but for the average human, he is definitely...on some shit! as for death, well, he is practically begging for someone to kill him.
• offensive subjects yes to the max; jacket is a violent serial killer with a deep seated case of PTSD, psychosis and dissociative identity disorder. these are all things that will inevitably crop up with the character. please heed this warning in mind if you intend on tagging him! on another note, jacket canonically draws a hard line at sexual assault/abuse and actively empathizes with its victims despite his violent nature.

• age / occupation a former vet turned unwitting hitman; more of a frenzied serial killer than anything, but he was manipulated by an ultranationalist terrorist organization into killing Russian mobsters. estimated to be in his late 20s.
• visual beneath the animal masks, he's broad shouldered, tall, blonde haired and blue eyed -- his face is deliberately obscured in all official art.. he's almost always seen wearing his varsity jacket. in terms of design, he's based off of Ryan Gosling's character in Drive, so you can assume he looks something like him.
• personality Jacket is a silent protagonist who communicates through his alters, Richard, Don Juan and Rasmus. he's iconic for his hyperviolence against the Russian mob and status as a one man army, but he harbors something of a moral code as evidenced by him rescuing and taking care of Girlfriend (a sexual abuse survivor), him throwing up after killing a homeless man in self defense and sparing Richter (because he was under orders from 50 Blessings and had no say in what he did). he does not actively pursue or kill defenseless, average people. he is rarely lucid and extremely mentally unwell; coping severely after the death of his former comrade, Beard, who was caught in a nuke enacted by Russia against San Francisco. this, in tandem with his trauma from his days as a veteran in the war against Russia for the colonization of Hawaii, has molded him into a harbinger of vengeance. Jacket is heavily implied to be distant, quiet, prone to addiction (be it smoking, drugs, alcohol or sex), suicidal and unpredictable. while in the trial for his own case, he can be seen keeping himself busy with a green stress ball; he plays with this green stress ball even in prison, up until the very second he dies. always preoccupied and removed from reality, Jacket hides in the stimulative pleasures and "games" of life.
• history TBA
• timeline in some liminal space near the endgame of the hotline miami or before he gets arrested

SHIPS

• SHIP PREFS ✔ Jacket canonically has a history of hooking up with women and/or dating them impulsively; despite this, he seems to be genuinely upset over his breakups and losses + exhibits legitimate investment in them. his alter Don Juan implies that he has a case of hypersexuality that extends to romance; still capable of having attachments to men as evidenced by his fondness for his former comrade, Beard. i'm open to both m/f and m/m on him but uhhh, maybe mind the warnings?
