FiroIV — Roleplayer Guild

Yeah, okay cool I just wanted to know if we were going with the name or not. 
Anyway here is Jaune.

IN REAL LIFE

Name:Johnathan "John" Hernandez-Lau 
Age:27
Gender: Male

Appearance:
He is a relatively tall, average built young man with black hair, dark skin and lanky build. He tends to be clean shaven, but on days wherein he gets too sucked into his work he will look like a hobo. He has an exceptionally clear and youthful looking face, with an amazing set of pearly white teeth, but sadly his self-confidence doesn’t match his looks. 

Background:
Johnathan has never really been much into games, and even less when it came to MMO’s. He first started playing Elder Tale in the spring of freshman year in Boston University as a way of coping with the new changes in his life. He moved into the dorms, his parents divorced, he’s questioning his sexuality, and was worried about his future. Elder Tale was only the good and steady thing going on in his life. 

He eventually stopped playing Elder Tale around senior year of college to focus on his schoolwork; at the time his character was at level 65, his progress being quite slow given his play style and character creation choice conflicts. In the same year that he stopped playing to focus on graduating he realized that he still had no idea what to do with his life. He graduated from Boston University with a degree in Computer Science. 

A year after he graduated he was living with his mother and her new husband. He was working at a small business company as their tech expert, local young guy, and occasional and unofficial IT. He hated his job, he tolerated his stepfather, he had no social life, his then current boyfriend was horrible, and truthfully he hated everything. At the age of 23 and a half he already felt like an 80 year old widow. 
Taking the advice of his mother Johnathan decided to try something new and enrolled in an art class at the community college. In a short amount of time he discovered something new about himself that made him happy and felt passionate about. In three years’ time he had already quit his old computer science job and now a full time concept artist and computer graphics designer. He had his own apartment, not the best, but it made him feel like an adult. 

Elder Tale came back to his life when Johnathan saw an advert for the 12th expansion pack. Jonathan immediately pulled out his old account and started replaying the game. While playing the game he was able to meet some new people that led to various work opportunities, which led to Elder Tale inspired work, With his artwork out there some people contacted him about a possibility for working for the company to hire him for promotional concept art. All in all things were going great for him until the new expansion pack is released.

Personality: He is a pretentious little snob who is incredibly honest and kind of mean. He is confident in himself and his skills. He's mostly pleasant around strangers, but those who know him well will tell you that he is a jerk, granted he is a jerk who cares. In the game he acts the same way, and while he is not the best when it comes to playing in a group, he is very knowledgeable and has a good understanding of how to fight in a group.

Miscellaneous:
His preferred play style/build is called “Virtuoso - Curse Song Specialization”  
It focuses on aiding allies using their Curse Songs to weaken opponents and provide cover attacks. This build is rather unpopular due to the relatively short range of Bard attacks compared to Assassins and Swashbucklers, as well as the lower damage it deals. It is however popular among Bard players who also want to go on solo quests and missions.
