Appearance
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Dark brown
Ethnicity & skin color: Hispanic, American of Mexican descent. Brown
Physical Appearance: Javier has a athletic appearance after the military he has kept himself in good shape. During his tour in Afghanistan Corporal Morales was shot two times, once in the left abdomen and once in the left shoulder. The scars are still visible. Marine corps corporal insignia tattoo on right shoulder with the letter U.S.M.C. underneath it.
Attire: Javier is a bit of a peacock. He likes to dress to impress, having an range of suits and ties to match. In Javier’s mindset you dress like you feel and you feel like you dress. Faking a smile is much easier in an expensive suit. He can either be found in any dark colored suit with matching shoes and a tie or, when Javier is feeling casual, in kaki’s with brown leather loafers and a polo shirt
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Javier is a proud man. He knows that he is good at what he does and that shows through his calm demeanor. Javier is the type of man that stays at ease in high pressure situations trying to diffuse situations with intimidation and words. The marine corps made him somewhat of a perfectionist and he thus likes it if things go his way. If things don’t go his way, meaning he can’t talk his way out of a situation, he could rapidly turn violent. Exerting force and ‘solving’ the problem that way. Javier will try to keep the peace, but isn’t afraid to break something into more than one piece.
Hobbies/Interests: Sporting, mainly running and bodyweight training, ’80 and ’90 rock music and authentic Mexican food.
Skills/Talents: Being smart without being an academic, Javier can think on his feet. This comes in handy in both persuasion and gunplay. His childhood background makes him have somewhat of a renegade approach to situations, relying mainly on intimidation and deception. While his military background makes him experienced with guns. He is not a tactical genius, although he can hold his own, and Javier is by no means a sniper, preferring weapons he can conceal easily
Prized Possession: Miguel’s silver crucifix necklace
Quote(s): ”I have struggled, but I’ve found my way.” – Javier Morales
History/Bio:
“Mister Morales, why don’t you tell us more about yourself.”
“How can I be of service?” the Mexican replied.
“Quit the bullshit! You’ve been here for four days now. And I assure you it is going to get any more pleasant than this. Do you understand, ‘mister Morales’?” One of the guards blurted out.
“Morales, come on. Tell us about your past. We need to verify some things – really important.”
The interviewer tried to play nice. Javier could see that it took some restraint on the man’s part.
“Fine,” the Mexican started, “I’ll tell you about myself. My parents were immigrants. They went to the United States of America, such a fine country, but they came from Mexico.” The sentences rolled out without the slightest hint of accent, except for Mexico, which Javier pronounced as Mexico and not as Meksiko. “They settled in California and both found a job. Mi madre had a miscarriage, then my brother, then me. We grew up in the rough part of town. Mi Madre wanted us to finish high school, so we did. Then what? Miguel had joined the Army. I decided to join the Marines one year later. So how’s it going?”
The interviewer looked up from his notes, “How's what going?”. Javier smiled, “Senor Interviewer, don’t tell me you lover the story so much that you forgot to verify ‘some things’. You called it really important.” The interviewer looked a bit baffled after this.
“Don’t tell me you’ve been lying to me, senor interviewer.” Morales looked annoyed right now, “You haven’t been lying to me have you?” Now the interviewer started to get nervous.
“Docter Grunberg will ask the questions!” The blurting guard again.
“Would you stop?” Javier was talking directly to the guard now in a snide voice, “I was talking to Docter Grunberg!" Shifting his gaze, "So like I was saying; Finished high school, joined the marines. Went on my first tour, Afghanistan. Some friends died. My brother went on his third tour and was shot and killed, Afghanistan. Went on my second, to Afghanistan, and somewhere along the line I found out who had shot and killed my brother. Sometime later we had to raid an insurgent camp. Funny story, I killed the man, Abdul Al-something, that killed my brother. Apparently Abdul Al-something was Iranian intelligence, which was a problem for me. Somehow I managed to get off scot free, but they called it a dishonorable discharge.”
Morales paused. The interviewer looked up from his paper and anxiously watched the Mexican who started to get a beard after these couple of days.
“What happened after that?” The interviewer asked.
“How can I say this without bursting out in laughter…” Morales paused again and docter Grunberg didn’t know where to look at this point. “Well,” Morales started, “You could say I started an import-export business with some of my contacts in LA and in Afghanistan. Say you wanted to buy some fireworks, for example, but you want high grade fireworks and in a large batch. I can find said large batch of high grade fireworks for you and set you up with the firework's dealer. Of course I take a small commission fee after transaction.”
“So you imported bombs? What else drugs, guns, people?”
Morales let a small smile slip on his face, “No, docter Grunberg, I only import fireworks, flowers, hardware. I do not import cattle.”

Relationships
Relationships:
Kei Kusanagi - Neutral. Contact - "Has had good intel and results in the past, knows her job."
Mantis - Neutral. Unknown - "Heard of Mantis before, never seen him"
Abilities
Expertise: Information gathering by a network of criminal contacts and other information sources. Javier pays for information, then either uses or sells it.
Physical condition: Javier is more fast than strong. He has an athletic build and can overpower people a bit larger than him in a fair 1 v 1, as long as they haven’t had professional training. However, the not-so-fair 1 v 1 is better suited for Javier, using hit-and-run-like tactics. Using his military training and speed he is quite hard to pursue on foot.
Mental condition: Finished high school and enrolled in the officer program shortly before being discharged. Javier has a pretty good memory.
Limitations: Doesn’t like heavy weapons and machinery. Doesn’t like to be challenged by his peers. Doesn’t like being lied to. In general, Javier thinks he is a tad above the rest of the people around him. He will not show this easily, but he’ll remember it. Javier is not that strong, heavy weapons and fighting huge guys is a no go for him.
Other: (NOTE: Derp... Will figure something out for this section)
