He stands at 6'3 carrying a well toned muscled body that he has worked for over the years. His broad shoulders use to be covered by his black locks of hair until he cut his hair short to get his mother to stop complaining about how shaggy it made him look. His eyes, just like his mothers, are a deep brown that lightened up just the slightest under the sun. His jaw, like his father's, is strong and covered in a well-trimmed beard Jonah is rather proud of. His left hand is covered in geometrical [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a7/9c/23/a79c230b6d47016cc18e9815e13c9017.jpg]tattoos[/url] that he likes to show off at meetings and during his morning jogs around the town. Jonah likes to keep up with the latest trend and fashion. He often heads to the local boutiques to fill his closet with the most recent items of fashion. Although he does enjoy to dress up in formal and expensive pieces of clothing Jonah tends to dress in red flannels, ripped black jeans and a leather jacket. Half of his closet is filled with various flannels, leather jackets, and leather boots. The other half are very expensive coats, suits, ties, and button up shirts from Italian brands. Jonah's accent would be the typicaly known as the "BBC" accent. Although he has this type of accent there are a few phrases he says with a but of MLE, or Multi-Cultural, accent. He grew up in a private school where most talked in a MLE accent but his mother always made sure he talked in the RP accent, like she was raised to talk. Every now and then some slang of MLE will slip out and his mother isn't here to correct him. [b][color=cadetblue]| | Personality | |[/color][/b] [i]Hard-working || Patient || Kind || Adventurous || Loyal ||Goofball[/i] Jonah is a man who is not afraid to speak his mind and would not apologize for it. He can be blunt sometimes and maybe too honest, but Jonah always means good by it. Although it does come out as rude to some people who are not very familiar with him. While his looks may scream upright rich asshole, his personality is quite the opposite. He is a kind-hearted and outgoing man that values his time alone in his room playing one of is many instruments. He is polite and patient with everyone he meets, and he strongly believes in second impressions. Jonah warms up to people quite quickly and becomes a loyal friend to those who would have him. To his friends, he is a kind and curious man that doesn't shy away from an adventure. During social gatherings, Jonah mingles here and there but never sticks to a certain group for long. A few shots of alcohol would be able to loosen up his tongue and demeanor, but getting Jonah to drink a lot can be proven to be difficult. If he is convinced to drink Jonah becomes a loud and very blunt person who will not turn his back from any challenge presented his way. Once sober, he will apologize and try to make up for what he could have done or said. There are very few people who Jonah considers a good friend, but to those few Jonah is a man who is loyal and giving. He would do anything to help a friend in need, be it moral or financial support. His friends would describe has a man who is determined to finish what he starts and get things done on time, which can leave the man stressed out and in need of a break, which Jonah rarely takes. [b][color=cadetblue]| | Habits | |[/color][/b] Jonah tends to overwork himself a lot. For him, there is no stopping until the job is finished or until the person he is helping if finally well off or content with their position. Some may see it as a good habit to have, Jonah, knows better as this habit has sent him to the hospital two times already. The first was when he first established his business in the town and had to remodel the inside of the small music store. He didn't rest until everything was finished and passed out from exhaustion. The second time, the second time Jonah would rather not talk about. Jonah is a smoker. He has been trying to quit for some time now, but the feeling he gets everytime the smoke fills his lungs make all the stress and worries fade away temporarily. He has tried a few other drugs here and there, but nothing beats good old nicotine. Although he was recently introduced to a certain strain of weed that may reduce the number of cigarettes he smokes daily. When Jonah is too stressed he finds some sort of escape in cleaning and tuning the instruments in his studio and home. He is usually found caring for them after a long stressful week with a cigarette between his lips. [b][color=cadetblue]| | Background | |[/color][/b] Jonah Zhu is the first born child of the Zhu-Ainsworth superfamily. Hua Zhu-Ainsworth is three years younger than her brother. The father, Chang Zhu is a Chinese doctor/businessman. The Zhu family has five private hospitals in Shangai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and most recently, London. His mother, Emily Ainsworth, is one of the best lawyers based in the UK and has a growing law firm. Emily and Chang met on a rainy day in an old pub in downtown London. They continued to meet for two weeks straight until one night they decided to head to Emily's place. A month later the couple eloped in Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings with just a couple of friends present and one of Emily's closest aunts. Eight months after the wedding Jonah was worn. A healthy baby weighing just 3 kilograms(6 lbs). The Zhu-Ainsworth family lived in Kensington, an upper-class part of London where Victorian styled buildings lined the streets and tourists often came to stroll around. The house was built during the mid-1880s in the style of Queen Ann with stained glass, molded brick, and high ceilings. A grand piano sat in the middle of one of the many lounge areas and chandeliers with crystals that made light dance hung from each room ceiling. Jonah's father was usually away during the week, and his mother had taken up work at home to care for him, with a little help from Marie. Marie, a French woman, and Jonah's nanny cared for him and his sister until he was sent away to attend The Oratory School. Oratory was an all-boys boarding school a few ways away from home and his sister, Hua. While he visited every weekend to see his little sister and parents, he felt homesick throughout his first two years of boarding school. At 15 Jonah began to notice his attraction to his fellow classmates. Jonah convinced himself that it was just a phase and he just needed a girlfriend, so he did. Angela was her name, and they stayed together until Jonah turned 17. It was a bad breakup and she began to spread rumors about him being gay to her friends, and their friends' boyfriends, who attended Oratory, spread them inside the school. Jonah didn't deny them and nor did he accept them, he only wanted to finish his last years of school in peace. Unfortunately, that was not the case for him, as boys began to bully Jonah and the few friends he had left him. He didn't let people push him around, which resulted in many fights and beatings. Two friends stuck with Jonah, supporting him and making the rest of his years in Oratory bearable. Jonah graduated from The Oratory School for boys with flying grades and with the help of his mother, an alumni, continued his way to the University of Oxford where he studied law and-- much to his parents' distaste-- music. While in Oxford Jonah studied, partied, and slept around like any other college student. This time, having more liberty to experiment with the kind of men he liked without having to worry too much about bigots. While he did have to keep his sexual orientation a secret, it was a lot easier to go out and date other men. Jonah never took any relationship during uni any serious as he was concentration on his law and music degree. It took him five years to finally graduate and move on. After university Jonah moved back to his family home in Kensington where he spent most of his time with his little sister and parents. He thought Hua how to play the violin and piano while also learning how to cook various dishes with the help of Marie. He put his law degree to work by working under his mother's law firm and often on cases regarding his father's private hospital. Hua and Jonah were close, and he supported her when she decided to start a modeling career despite their parents, disapproval. It didn't take Hua long for her to become one of the top models in London, and Jonah couldn't have been more proud of his little sister. Jonah came out to his parents one night after his mother kept nagging him to get a girlfriend. He had never been one to get upset quickly, but her persistant nagging had caused him to reach a point where he burted out the words "I'm bloody gay!" As soon as those words left his lips, Emily Ainsworth gasped and stopped talking as she watched her son brak down in tears. She quickly embraced him and told him she loved him. The very next day Jonah came out to his father and sister, both doing the same things his mother did. After four years of working in his mother's law firm, Jonah decided that he needed a change of scenery. He had never been an impulsive person but seeing as Hua was his parents focus he spun the globe in his father's studio and decided to go where ever his finger landed. At 27 years old Jonah Zhu-Ainsworth left London and headed to the small city of Whitefish, Montana with all his savings in an account and his passport. After one year living in Whitefish Jonah met a man called Dave, a doctor in the local clinic. They had met after Jonah had been careless with the knife as he chopped a few veggies for a stew. The cut was rather large and deep, so Dave stitched Jonah up, fingers lingering on his palm just enough for the Londoner to notice. They went on a few dates for three months before Jonah moved into Dave's little apartment located over a bakery. They stayed together for four years. They adopted a husky and named her Ai. Despite the rare arguments they had, Jonah was sure Dave was the man he would be with forever, that was until he picked up Dave's phone one night and a woman's voice called out for his Dave, begging him to go fuck her as he did a week ago. Jonah hung up, packed his stuff and took Ai with him that very night. For the next year, Jonah traveled from Montana through various states until he found himself in Lusiana, Silvervale. He decided to settle there in an apartment complex called Redwood Apartments. He bought a place in downtown Silvervale where he planned to build a music shop on the bottom floor and a music studio on the top. The perfect distraction from Dave and the four years he wasted on that man.

It is tucked in between two old brick buidings. It's front window and door are a bright aqua color with old wood and brick walls on the front. There are lights decorating the small hall a person has to walk to get to the front door. Outside, there are a few potted plants that look like some around about to die. It seems like the owner doesn't have a green thumb. An old fire escape sit on the upper left corner of the store front. "String & Things" is written out at the front in neat handwriting over the door. [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1e/59/c1/1e59c1e90919aa15dc9a7ef90e42e61a.jpg[/img] The inside of the store is dim and moody, giving the place a home-like feel to it. There are old records lining the walls along with old instruments and pieces of art work. The wall by the cash register is covered with artwork and photography featuring various artists from around Silvervale. The back of the store is stacked with instruments that are for sale. It almost looks like a mess, but Mr. Zhu swears there is a system there. Those instruments include your typical guitars, violins, pianos, and many others. There are also some less likely instruments from various cultures. While some of them are not for sale, some are showed case in enclosed cases that customers can see and take pictures of. There are some special events on the top floor when the owner of the store plays old instruments, the most popular being ancient Chinese instruments like the Guzheng or the Sheng. [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d0/20/ac/d020accedd66e4bdcee357a998d32e01.jpg[/img] The second floor is where most of Mr. Zhu's fund went. It has a complete studio for practice, recording, and small gigs. [/center] [/hider]
