HAIR:[/color] Jon's black hair is long - for a male, anyways. It is slightly greasy most of the time, and tends to reach anywhere from the middle of his eyes to his shoulders.

EYES:[/color] His eyes are almost shaped, though slightly more rounded than pointed, and various shades of green; the irises are darker around the edges, but lighten as they get closer to the pupils. A soft ring of brown surrounds the pupil.

HEIGHT:[/color] 5' 8"

BUILD:[/color] Slim, but athletic

DISTINGUISHED BY:[/color] His eyes are a bit unusual, and there are scars from bullets and even a knife or two littered on his body. His eyes turn a dark, dark green when he's using his powers.

PREFERRED PLAYBY:[/color] Jackson Rathbone

FULL DESCRIPTION:[/color] To say Jon is lanky would be reaching, though it is almost true. He is tall, around six foot even, with practically no meat on his bones. His body is well-porportioned, however, which allows him to avoid being called 'lanky'. He tends to wear clothes that give him the appearance of having more bulk, so that also helps.

His black hair is at a medium length, thought it is usually partly hidden beneath his hat. He likes to keep it at a managable length, but alsoknows that long hair is more attractive than short. At least to the men he's after it is. He has bright green eyes that, when not void of emotion, are always sparkling.

round a thousand cities

PERSONALITY:[/color] Jonathan is a man who fears his emotions and the weight that comes with them. Because of this, he uses his empathic abilities to create a wall between his logic and emotion, locking the latter away while also embracing the previous. It is because of his pure logical way of thinking that he has been able to get away from the police for so long and continue killing.

However, Jonathan does not kill because he enjoys it, or because he has nothing better to do. He does it in an effort to kill the past and to destroy the person he hates most in the world. He is very cruel when he has his victim in his grip and will torture her for hours, or even a few days, before finally killing her. Sometimes he wonders if he will ever be able to stop killing, but fears that the impact made on him by his mother's crimes will keep him from ever doing so. So he continues to kill.

GOALS:[/color]

• To survive
  
• To not get caught
  
• To avoid arrest
  
• To continue killing
  
• To keep his emotions at bay

FEARS:[/color] There are many things that Jon fears, though he would never dare to admit to them. For one, he fears his mother, though the woman is long dead, and is ashamed of it; he is afraid of his past, and that anyone who finds out will immediately mock him for it. He is afraid of his emotions and the powers behind them. He's also afraid that he'll never be able to stop killing, despite having killed his original target many years ago.

HISTORY:[/color] Jonathan Duncan was born to Melissa and Marshall Duncan twenty-eight years ago in a small town in middle Texas. The first twelve years or so of Jon's life were wonderful; he lived the life that any southern boy would be proud of. He enjoyed school and had a handful of close, good friends that would always get him into trouble - and always get him back out.

Around age ten, Jonathan discovered that he could control the earth and plants around him. At first, he kept it to himself, but then, around eleven, he showed his father, who was impressed. Unlike most, Marshall accepted his son's abilities and even allowed him to use the garden to train himself.

However, when he turned thirteen, Jon's life turned upside down. His mother "betrayed" the young boy one day, when his father was out, and continued to do so until Jonathan was sixteen, when he finally got the courage up to tell his father. Within the day, he and his father had left, and Marshall filed for divorce.

The rest of his teenage years were spent peaceful, but Jon could find no inner peace. He fought with the demons that had taken over him, and was forced to leave his father in fear he would one day lash out and hurt him. He soon locked his emotions away and, with that done, took to murdering women who looked like his mother.

He's been doing this for years now, and has taken to committing only one or two murders a year. It's great fun for him.
