Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Jonas has his quiet and reflective moments, but those are few and far between. He’s been described as loud and obnoxious. He calls it talking and getting it all out in the open. He doesn’t volunteer information about his past, but might talk about it if he’s asked. The only thing he really doesn’t bring up in casual conversation are the ‘jobs’ he’s had over the years. He’ll mention his profession but unless someone is looking to hire him, he doesn’t go into detail. He’ll sometimes feign stupidity or ignorance if it gets him an edge, though. Jonas has a sense of humor that borders on sarcasm. Though he has been known to cross that border on a regular basis. One personality quirk that developed early on was his incessant questioning. Jonas didn’t just ask ‘why’ all the time, he questioned the status quo…the existing state of affairs. He has landed in hot water a few times because he still questions it today. | |

| Personal History | Jonas Bailey was born on Ariel to a hard working Alliance family. He had everything that a newborn Alliance baby could have. But as he grew, a personality quirk developed that had his parents worried. Jonas would question everything. At the age of sixteen, he began asking questions in school. Questions that caused the instructor to alert school leadership. Questions that nearly got him sent to a special Alliance school. Nearly, because Jonas ran away before his parents could send him to what he called a re-education and indoctrination school. He was questioning the status quo and was about to be corrected by the people who had written the textbooks. Jonas packed what he could carry in a shoulder bag and talked his way onto cargo ship. He told the captain that he’d been apprenticing with a chef when he heard that ship was in need of a cook. Well, someone to make the food taste better at least. No matter how hard he tried, Jonas couldn’t conceal his trickery long. The captain and crew chalked it up to a rookie on a ship with little to work with. But the evening meal wasn’t any different. Rather than turn back and be late on their delivery, they briefly stopped at Persephone and dropped the sixteen year old Jonas off at the Maze. He lived hand-to-mouth for a couple of years until one of the vendors took him in. Jonas worked hard, built a reputation, and learned how to take care of himself on the streets. He eventually started taking jobs that would lead to him becoming a hired gun. Jonas continued to mature and began taking mercenary jobs off planet. Each time, he would return to Persephone and the Eavesdown Docks. He was doing well enough until trust became an issue, even among the Docks. No one knew who to really trust anymore and jobs for his specific skill set were becoming scarce on Persephone itself. Jonas Bailey would take any job he could get so as to have enough credits for his next couple of meals. It was after a particular one that he decided it was probably time to get out of the world and into the black. Maybe there were better jobs out there. |

| Service Record | As a mercenary or hired gun, Jonas likes to keep his record of jobs and services to himself. Not too many folks take an interest in how many kills he has to his name. At least, those that aren’t looking to hire him. |
