Interested. [Agent’s Profile] - Pretty much done... I think. Agent Name: Jacob ‘Jack’ O’neil Agent Country of Origin: America D.O.B: March 21, 1963 (35). ID No.: #0309905 D.O.D: February 5. 1990. Prior (Cold War) Journalist. Current Employment: Editor and journalist at “Teplee Times”. Agent Biography: Jacob was born in a small town in the middle of nowhere in the northern parts of New York State he wasn't anything special when he grew up, he had a few friends he liked to read, write and play outside. Nothing special about this child. However that changed when he turned ten a group of agents that worked on the Deimos project came to their small town. While the town was nothing ape islands, though the scenery was breathtaking with its clear lakes and the Green forest rising from the mountains that surrounded it. The town had a few shops, a school that went up to high school before you had to leave the town to pursue your educational dreams. Other than this there was just the usual assortment of places a small town would need. However this didn't matter for the agents. They had received orders to check every village - no matter the size - for possible future 'participants' for Project Deimos. Of course, considering the size of the village, there weren’t many potential participants - however, Jacob stood out. He showed great characteristics of a person that had extraordinary psychic abilities - and especially the nature of his abilities caught the attention of the agents. However, being as young as Jacob was at the time, his parents decided that he shouldn’t be enrolled in the program - and as the protocol stated: their memories were wiped, however his data was kept stored for possible later use. As if nothing had happened Jacob lived his normal life, he went to highschool and had high hopes of getting into college where he could follow his interest in literature - aiming to become a writer or journalist when graduated. It was a few years after Jacob started his college life, all was normal and well - he had even been so lucky to find a cute girl to share his normal life with - however, this was once again interrupted by the arrival of a group of governmental agents working on the Deimos Project. With the constant knowledge of the cold war, and the possible danger of the Soviet Union, Jacob went to the recruitment area - though he had no idea what awaited him. Because of his prior contact with the Project his information was quickly passed up through the ranks and mere days later after his initial tests he got a letter stating that not only his country, but the entire allied forces required his help. Still not knowing exactly what was going to happen - the details was kept in the shadows in order to keep Project Deimos as secret as possible - he broke off the life he had at the time. Of course doing such a thing left him mentally hurt, but he felt that his ‘talent’ - as the letter had called it - needed for him to put his country as the first priority. And so, at the age of 21, Jacob disappeared from his family, his friends and his one love, in order to join the Deimos Project. Throughout the next 16 year Jacob underwent intense training (sometimes going beyond the border of torture) he was honed and shaped into the perfect agent. His body and abilities evolved at a rapid rate, and it was clear that from the nature of his supernatural abilities that he was meant to become a spy or infiltrator - someone that could go beyond the enemy’s borders and stay alive while gathering intelligence. However the war never came, and as the year of 1990 came around Jacob defected from Project Deimos. The reason for this defection? There could really only be one answer to this kind of move: Love. The town near where Jacob was stationed wasn’t a big town, but it was fun enough so that the soldiers that were stationed at the military camp enjoyed going into town on the weekends in order to have some fun - and Jacob was no different. However, it was one of these weekends that he met a girl, Julie, that caused the second big change in his life. It only took a year to convince him that she was the one, however, it was clear to him that he couldn’t stay as part of the project as long as she was in his life - and so he left the military as he could no longer see a need for him there taking the political changes into account. Soon after they moved, he had applied for spot at a small newspaper company in a bigger city, and since Julie was a writer (it was their mutual love for books and writing that ignited the flame between them) it wasn’t a big move. All went well, they seemed to be perfect together, sharing everything with each other - Jacob would have done anything for her, however he never told her what he did in the military, just that he had been a marine since the early years of the Cold War. Jacob’s happy life wasn’t meant to be. It wasn’t soon after he defected that he started showing signs of what would later be a well known problem for the agents of Project Deimos: he started having dreams revolving around the threat of the Soviet Union and the possible agents that would hunt him down. Soon this psychological fear began to hurt his and Julie’s relationship; he showing signs that are similar to military personnel after returning from battles, and while he never hurt her, his change in personality caused great worry for Julie. This all collided on night when Julie came home late, Jacob, having another sleep filled with nightmares of the Soviet Union, woke up. Being a trained agent he quickly made note of his surroundings, spotted a dark shadow looming at the door to their bedroom - and without thinking he grabbed his knife and attacked the shadow. It was only after he awoke from his own illusions that he saw what he had done: standing above the body of his now dead wife, his naked body painted with the crimson color of her blood, her lifeless eyes staring straight into his. The whole episode was quickly covered up by the government - a former cold war agent, part of a secret agency being caught up in the spotlight of the relentless press for the cold murder of his own wife, wasn’t something that the government wanted to happen. His actions would undoubtedly cause a series of investigations into his past with the danger of his past actions within the military getting brought into light. The military quickly concluded that it would cost vastly less resources to cover the episode, than the investigation into his past would cost. Surprisingly after it had all been covered up the military withdrew, leaving him alone with the haunting memory of what he had done. This caused a second stage of psychological stress for him: he now lived in the house in which he had shared some of the happiest of years with the love of his life - a love that he had murdered himself in that horrorful night. He soon began to drink excessively, living most of his days in an intoxicated haze cause by various types of liquor - usually sprawled in a chair or on the floor in only his underwear, living the life through his own delusional dreams he would have had if he hadn’t killed his wife. Of course an ex-marine (especially one that had quit his job as a reporter) he quickly ran out of the necessary funds to sustain his drinking habits - so what should he do in such a situation? Jacob only saw three possible solutions to his grave problem: Get a job, try to turn his life around - and get a job, or find funds through different means. He did what addicts usually do, choosing the easier way out. This started a spree of curious thefts in the town nearby. The thefts left the victims, usually shop owners, with memory loss and no recollection of any suspicious persons. This continued for a time, but of course, being the drunk that he had become, Jacob made mistakes. At first it was small ones, but they started to escalate. It didn’t take long from then for his mistakes to lead the police to him - but once again the military stepped in before any permanent damage could cause their past experiments to hurt them publically. It was at this point in time that Jacob was told about the possibility of living in a remote place made specifically for former agents: Teplee - however Jacob turned it down, believing that a town full of ‘weirdos’ like himself wouldn’t exactly be a good place to be, and for some reason the military accepted this - they did however keep an eye on him from that point. Jacob would most likely have met his demise if things had continued spiraling downwards for him - it isn’t easy to turn your life around after all - but then he met one of his few old friends from the Deimos project. It would later dawn on him that this ‘accidental meeting’ wasn’t a surprise after all, but at the time he didn’t realise this. Instead he opened up to someone for the first time since his wife had died, and through a series of event he somehow he ended up being persuaded into giving the looney town of Teplee a try, and only a few months later he found himself in the cold, snowy prison that was the town his defected comrades, getting a place to live and a job at the local newspaper. Psych Evaluation: A psychologist once noted that the best description of Jacob would be that he was “broken” - and indeed, “broken” fits him perfectly. He has to some degree lost the will to live, at night, when he is all alone with his nightmares, he wonders if he should just end his own misery and shoot himself. He is haunted by the murder of his own wife to such an extent that he repeatedly loses consciousness from his alcohol intake, which usually is combined with a gun and a hallucinogenic dreams where he lives out the happier moments of his life with his wife. However he has never gone that extra step: for some reason he cannot get himself to put the gun to his head and pull the trigger - it is not because he can’t do it, but rather that he has started to accept his current life, not that he likes his current life or the place called “Tepee” (or “the frozen hell on earth” as he likes to call it), but the thought that his deceased love would want him to continue living. However, when Jacob is out in public he seems rather okay; he isn’t the happiest person in the crowd, but he does joke around now and then, using his natural charm to create a bond with the people around him. You should not, however, count on him being energetic - rather he loves the quote “I am too old for this shit”. He is getting older and he isn’t ashamed of making this clear to the people around him - especially when they want him to actually do things. However, when things does need to be done he is your man. He know how to get things done and he isn’t afraid to make the tough decisions - you can most definitely rely on him in bad times. Physical features [Inspiration: http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130213073339/thelastofus/images/4/44/64615_247866825303251_1612539343_n.jpg ]: Jacob is a rather handsome man; even though he is reaching the higher forties he still has a rather young face and body. He has semi short black hair that started to show signs of grey in them, his face, while still looking rather young, has been painted in the wrinkles of time, however, his deep brown eyes still hold a youthful sharpness to them. He usually keeps his beard grown in an unkempt manner of an inch or so. Because most of his life was within the military he has a daily habit of going through a training course that was tortured into him during Project Deimos. This means that, while he isn’t the energetic young guy he once was, he still keeps a strong and well-kept body, capable of doing things more ‘relaxed’ persons in his age-group would be able to do. His skin has a natural tanned color. He usually wears a shirt with a pair of denim jeans, covering his upper body in a black leather jacket. He has a pair of worn out brown leather shoes and a thin army watch on his left arm. Usually he goes around with a pair of sunglasses tucked in his shirt and his gun hidden away. ‘Lassus’ Power: Jacob possesses the ability to “control” - or rather “trick” a person’s senses. What this really boils down to is the ability to create “illusions”, subduing a target into the realm of Jacob’s nightmares. While this does mean that it can be a powerful and useful ability, it does have its limitations. The more people Jacob tries to subdue, the more energy it takes to create believable and lasting illusions - the highest number of targets he has subdued was five targets, but he has once commented that his limit is two targets before his illusions begin to deteriorate. Furthermore he has to be within a certain range for his abilities to work - once again: the closer to the target he is, the better the illusion will be. As his ability does allow him to trick the senses - it has been hypothesized that this works through manipulating the neurological transmissions within the target’s brain), what this means is that, he is able to ‘play’ with all of the target’s senses, making him/her smell, see, hear, feel and taste what he wants them to. Purposes this ability served during wartime: [Hypothetical position that would’ve been filled after war escalated] (Spy/infiltrator) - though have also been used to question certain targets (make a person feel at ease, smell good, feel good/pain etc.) Notes: He tends to drink and smoke a lot - call it the image of being ‘manly’ if you will. Jacob always carries a black modern militarized handgun with him somewhere - of course it is always hidden, but ready to be used in an instant. Additional information: While Jacob was trained as a soldier, he technically never officially went on any missions before his ‘departure’ from the military - something which annoys him quite a bit when mentioned by other military personnel - especially by those who went on missions during their service. Jacob still retains his habits of submitting himself to regular ‘sessions’ of alcohol abuse, living out his happier ‘life’ within the realms of his own illusions. This also means that he is usually in a state of light toxication whenever he is out in public (and you can be sure that he has at least one bottle of liquor somewhere on his body).
