Most from combat, some from torture. [b][color=b8860b]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Has a preference toward dark, neutrally colored functional attire. Cargo pants, button down shirts or long sleeve henleys, and tactical boots. When working openly, prefers a long ballistic watchcoat. [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=b8860b][center]Psychology[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [i][color=b8860b][center]Protective * Stubborn * Kind * Intimidating * Principled * Unconventionally Vulgar[/center][/color][/i] [b][color=b8860b]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Hetero. Otherwise not picky. [b][color=b8860b]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Technically single, but has regular "involvements". [b][color=b8860b]Personality:[/color][/b] The consummate Taurean Male, Keystone is prone to acts of both great kindness and great insensitivity. He is stubborn, possessive, and loud, but at the same time kind, protective, and driven. Has a habit of swearing, loud and often, in a manner that is both descriptive and eclectic. Keystone is not a subtle man, generally. He can be described as ambitious, even single-minded in the pursuit of his personal goals. Luckily, these goals usually fit in line with the task at hand. Getting him to change his mind about something generally takes a feat of will. Despite his larger size and extensive background with fisticuffs, Keystone is open to discussion of opinions/ideas contrary to his own without becoming threatening. [b][color=b8860b]Habits:[/color][/b] Popping knuckles/joints, picking teeth with his nails. [b][color=b8860b]Hobbies:[/color][/b] Cooking, Home Gardening, Exercise/Forms Practice. Keystone has a penchant for recording new recipes and culinary techniques, and is presently recording his personal thesis on close quarter combat.

While in the middle of applying well deserved violence, he received a pressing phone call. Orders delivered by his Director, originating from El Jefe himself, had him in (ugh) California as soon as he was physically able. It was not his preferred venue, granted, but he was personally selected to work with The Man himself. High praise and potentially very interesting work brings Keystone to the city. [b][color=b8860b]Life Before You Moved In:[/color][/b] Born Johnathon Keystone, our protagonist spent his early years pursuing an unwanted education in the School of Hard Knocks. Born to a poor family with an absent father, Keystone did whatever was needed to take care of his mother, the one point of warmth in an otherwise chilly existence. She made sure he kept in school and first taught him to cook. Through her, Keystone learned how to take care of himself. Even as a child, he was tall and broad, and quick-witted if not exceptionally learned. Subtlety and tact took a backseat, as did matters of etiquette. He is polite in his own way, but growing up in a slum surrounded by others trying to survive day to day stunted his social growth quite a bit. What friends he had generally referred to him by his last name (a practice he continued into adulthood), or sometimes “Big Angry Guy”. Everyone knew who they meant. Sometimes they’d just point. Effect remained the same; people got nervous and twitchy. A break in his life came when, upon nearing adulthood, Johnathon joined an underground boxing organization. Bareknuckle and oftentimes illegal, there were few rules and fewer that were actually enforced. It was a fine time for him - learning from many different types of combatants, then beating a lot of them silly. The money was okay. When there wasn’t a fight lined up, he made a modest but regular base income bouncing at taverns. When he wasn’t doing either, he trained. Hard. Until he figured out his next career move, he had to go back to what he knew best. His mother had sadly passed away, but the money he kept sending her (almost all of his earnings) allowed her to finalize the purchase of the building in which they had lived. No prize and in need of repair; still it was his to inherit. He still had to eat, however, and the only really marketable skill he had was cracking skulls. He quickly settled into a life of muscle work, mostly tavern bouncing and underground brawling. It was work without a foreseeable future, despite the name he was establishing for himself. One day, Keystone made the decision to do something about his circumstances. He had enough money saved up to begin traveling, and otherwise worked his way across the U.K. to continue his studies, later Hong Kong and mainland China. While in Asia, he learned primarily from Xiaolin masters, often trading hard labor for harder training. This "Labor" often took the form of the proper application of his talents to solve local problems, as only an outsider could. The more issues he took care of, the more techniques he learned. (of course, sometimes they just wanted a huge guy to help plow fields or move heavy objects) He developed a reputation in both China and the U.K. More time passed, and his notoriety attracted the attention of Machete Security Solutions, who frankly didn't give a rat's ass about his lack of formal education. Keystone agreed to a long term contract with the Company, provided they had more they could teach him. While he was already an excellent combatant, he knew little of actual security protocol, nor how to tie his skills into a lucrative, lifelong career. This is what they promised. Keystone has been serving the company in his old stomping grounds of London, U.K. His reputation has grown considerably since then, especially the part about unregulated excessive force. He has proven to be a very effective security agent, if prone to bouts of extreme violence. [b][color=b8860b]Life Since You Moved In:[/color][/b] Keystone has not moved in, at the time of this bio. When he does, he has plans involving a shower, a drink of good whisky, and something substantial to consume. Perhaps a French omelette and some smoked fish.

About made me splat my undergarments.” "Don’t matter which god you pray to, nor how much blood you’ve got on you. Got a job needs doing.” “You’re causin’ a disturbance, sir. I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to sod off.” [b][color=b8860b]Theme Song:[/color][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ-QLl5qjLg]Two Steps From Hell - Archangel[/url] [b][color=b8860b]Dirty Little Secret:[/color][/b] Keystone might be psychologically unstable. Jury's still out. [b][color=b8860b]Anything Else:[/color][/b] http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3214659 Prefers to use the Iron Fist method as his primary unarmed technique, though he is familiar with many others. His advanced culinary abilities stem from his youth. His mother taught him the homestyle method and industry basics. Though he doesn’t know it, he is constantly improving this skill as he comes in contact with more cultures and ideas. Keystone is the equal of most any professional culinarian. Keystone is aware of the identity of his father. During an incident in a pub, he hammered the older man's head concave on the edge of the bar after he crammed a knife into Keystone's side. Possibly his darkest secret - Keystone has a crush on Adele Adkins. Yes, really.
