Ianto Shane Jacobs
Character Information
Name: Ianto Shane Jacobs (formally Shannon Jericho)
Nickname: (if applicable) None
Age: 18
Birthplace: Los Angeles California
Sex: Male
Occupation: McDonalds worker (Key holder), formally writer,
considering returning to school/college
Appearance: He's dresses in whatever comes to hand, he has
brown hair, which when he can be bothered is dyed black, and he'll
wear the black clothes to match. He often has black shadows under his
eyes, and when he doesn't hes wearing a load of black eyeliner instead
(if he can be bother to apply it). He has striking Blue eyes, that
tend to look a little vacant. He's 5"2', and weighs very little,
although strip him off and he's actually quiet well built.
Personality: He's battleing depression so he can flip between
dark and depressive to his other mode of light artistic and friendly.
When he's in public he tries hard to be 'up'. So he takes a drug that
helps to improve his mood. Making him a little vacant, and forgetful,
but allowing his sweet, sensitive and artistic nature to come through.
He cares greatly for everyone for it's why he tries to so hard.
But when he's down. He's jumpy, jittery, and generally dark. He sees
the world as being a horrid thing that has to be endured. And since
he's had to quit writing he's lost his only outlet. He's severly
pessimistic, and verging on suicidal.
All of this aside though, even when he's trying to be a more up beat
person he finds it very hard to be motivated to do anything.
Special abilities/talents: He has a talent with a guitar, and
he has a very emotive voice. He's a very talented writer.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Human,
Power(s): He can control people with his writing. It has to be
put down on paper, or computer. Speaking is not a problem. But if he
writes down something on a lap top, or scrap of paper, people tend to
do what he's written.
Level: 3. His focus is currently commiting his orders to paper,
or screen. (But if he were to cleanse himself of the 'bad demon mojo'
and balance the karmic scales, he'd be able to shrink his focus down
to the point of it happening only when he uses the one pen. Then to
only when he wants it to happen. Eventually becoming level 4.)
Preferred Prey: The group he can control are humans, within
two years of age of himself.
History: Ianto was born Shannon. He changes his name when he was 16.
He had a very normal upbringing in a large family, although the family
were quiet well off, always seeming to have what they need when they
needed it. Having what they wanted when they wanted it. The family
didn't really spend much time together. So little he wasn't aware of
the fact his parents practised Demon Magic.
(His parents had rather a romantic story, they met as young children,
and remained in each others lives their whole lives. When they were
young, despite their parents disapproval they married anyway and were
kicked out of home. They struggled to make ends meat until they
happened upon a demon. They made a deal, a year of their lives for
money. It continued from their. Making deals, and summoning demon's
forcing them to do their will. They even gave their first unborn child
to a demon if the demon assured them their children would be born fit
and healthy, and attractive.)
The karma backlash, the darkness of the demon magic, was slowly
starting to corrupt him. During his early teens he started to suffer
from depression (around his 14 birthday).
His parents became aware that this may be cause of they're dealings
with demons and sent him to a counciller. Hoping that it was just a
'teen thing'. His counciller suggested he used writing as an outlet to
his emotions, as he was an A student at school writing seemed the
obvious answer. (The depression is mostly caused by the dark on his
soul caused by his parents demon magic)
He very quickly showed a real skill for writing becoming a published
author. His books becoming famous for the violent, emotional and
bloody deaths of the protaganists that some who study literature
believe had a deeper meaning.
However when he was 15 he came face to face with one of his
protagonists. Pleading with him not to finish the book. He soon
realised he controlled peoples lives with his writing.
He couldn't understand how this could be. How could someone do that?
He started to test the power. Trying to write with different pens,
pencils, laptops, computers, everything. It still happened. He went to
speak with his parents about it. And discovered their demon magic. How
they were summoning demons to improve their lives. One of the
'improvements' was him. They had summoned a demon to make him more
creative, the karma balace is why he can control. He demanded to know
everything. He found out that they had done so many deals with so many
demons that they had no idea what he would be like if it wasn't for
them. Their money, power, everything came from demonic power.
Unable to face the death count, the demons, and magic his parents
dealt with, he fled, created himself a new identity. And started a new
uncreative life. Sinking into a life of various almost addictions.
What triggered his depression is a memory he's blocked out of his
memory. He was angry with a friend, as an outlet for his emotions he
wrote an angry little ficlet. Involving the friend. Which then
happened. He had wrote of the girls rape. She commited suicide soon
after. A memory which has came to light since finding out about his
parents.
He spent his 16th year studying witch craft, wiccan, magic, demons,
everything he could think of to try and work out how to stop this from
happening. By the time he hit 17, he found out some important things.
Mysteria was a powerful place for magic. He found out a little about
his power. And that maybe Mysteria was the place to get help.
Flaws: Depression: He finds it very hard to see the good in anything.
Lack of motivation: He finds it hard to be bothered to do anything.
Whether he eats on a regular basis is up for debate.
Some time drug/drinks/prescription medication/sex addict: When he can
be bother to take things he does. (The one drug he does take regularly
is one that makes him very forgetful.)
Writing: He doesn't allow himself to write ANYTHING anymore. He'll not
pick up a pen other than to do very simple things like sign his name.
He'll not do much more than that.
Merits: Beauty: Come on he's beautiful and he knows how to work
it. He knows what does and doesn't work for him.
Writer: He's an amazingly talented writer.
Emotional: He's very emotional, which is part of the reason for his
depression. But he cares about others. He'd take a bullet to save
someone else.
Sexual Orientation: Asexual - but appreciates both sexes. He's
really just not bothered enough to label himself. He'd likely have sex
with anyone who could be bothered to come to him. He'll see a man or a
women and think "Nice" but it rarely goes further than that. Because
it would take effort. And he's not motivated enough to bother. He'd
probably choose just buying a bottle of vodka. Easier than picking up
a partner. Biologically speaking he doesn't feel a 'draw' to either
sex.
Preferred PB (played-by): Jared Leto
