[b]Personality:[/b]
Despite a rough upbringing, Owen is a brave and noble man who will stand by his friends no matter what. The bonds made in war are the strongest of all in his mind. A dedicated soldier, Owen would follow an order to a T but he could not however abide an order if one of his comrades was in trouble. The safety of another would be the only reason he ever disobeyed an order. A bit of a showoff, Owen isn’t overly arrogant but he does like to flaunt things in others faces but it is generally just in good fun. He is quick witted, always up for a laugh and joke and has the uncanny ability to find the humour in most situations. On the flip side of a normally easy going nature, Owen is prone to fits of anger, especially after a failure. His experiences in war have left him not only physically but mentally scarred as well. He suffers severe night terrors and occasionally has episodes of post-traumatic stress. He didn’t really join the police to protect and serve, Owen was a soldier and he needed a war to fight, even if it wasn’t his.

[b]History:[/b]

Born and raised on the streets of Justice, California, Owen York was very lucky to get out alive. He never knew his father, his mother was an Old Town girl and his dad was obviously one of many punters who often visited her. Owen was raised amongst the girls along with a half-sister named Amanda, he became extremely protective of women. Before he reached his early teens, Owen’s mother had finally scraped enough money together to leave Old Town. The small family didn’t really move to anywhere better but they sure as shit didn’t go anywhere worse.

In this new neighbourhood, Amanda met her future best friend Lauren Tryner. Owen was instantly head over heels in love with Lauren but whenever he thought he had a shot, she always found someone else to make her smile. A high school athlete and chess champion, Owen was both brains and brawn but he could never truly apply himself to school work, he wasted his potential, something his teachers would often write home about. Another thing they would write about would be the young man’s predisposition for violence. Owen had a nasty temper and too often it would show itself. One evening at a party, he saw Lauren’s boyfriend grab her arm roughly, so Owen put his face through a tv screen. He walked her home and that night she took his virginity and his love for her only grew. However, both knew a relationship wouldn’t last at that point so they left it at that.

After narrowly graduating, Owen enlisted in the army and finally he had a place to thrive. He served with distinction for ten years until he was shot in abdomen. The army medics advised him that he could no longer fight and thusly discharged him with honour and sent him own. With no job prospects and back in the city he ran away from, Owen was despondent. Until he heard the news that the JCPD was recruiting in order to increase their war on crime. In this moment, Owen realised that he was a soldier born; he needed a war to fight. He signed up the next day and over the next few years, made his way up to detective. Ever since leaving the army, Owen has struggled to reconnect with society and has been on leave for several months after an PTSD episode that resulted in him shooting up a squad car. Then he receives a visit from an old friend, asking him to join a task force with the sole objective of bringing down the Jagielski syndicate.

The soldier was ready for another tour of battle…
