Hobbies:

Boxing - Jett is stressed a lot; he’s delivered a persona that is high maintenance and the easiest way for him to work out his stress is by pulverizing something. For particularly stressful days, he’ll hammer out an hour's worth of a beating on the punching bag he keeps at home. Jett is a competitive person by nature and enjoys a good match in the ring.

Stocks - A successful businessman, Jett keeps his eye on the money. He invests his funds wisely and trusts his gut instinct—which he claims rarely lets him down. All in all, he’s made more money than he’s lost, so he can’t complain. Watching numbers rise and fall isn’t as fun as driving a speedy sports car around, but it has its quirks and through luck or skill, he seems to know what he’s doing.

Appraising – His mother was a collector of the strange and unusual, so Jett grew up with her ramblings of anything antique. It was his mother’s passion that got him interested, and being around aged things brings him a sense of nostalgia. Like stocks, prices can change overnight and investing time, energy and money is always a thrill. He likes to keep informed and know the value of what he’s around, so he keeps up to date with his research so that he’s as accurate and educated as possible.

Business – Jett has always invested everything he has into the things that mean the most to him. He started at a locally owned antique store as a part time worker in high school, and through hard work he earned the favor of the owner. When it was time to sell, Jett took him up on the offer and expanded the already successful antique store into a multi-faceted business venture. Though he still owns the original small storefront, he has since expanded to have his own warehouse, auction house, and an appraisal and restoration studio. He has an office downtown and a staff to help market online as well. He puts his heart into his business and is intent to push its success. He uses his influence and power to ensure he can look after members of the Dark Mirror Court and always has positions open for them.

Virtues:

Clever -- Tactful and quick witted, Jett works to keep everyone on their toes. He’s a quick thinker and can work well under pressure. He’s got a quick tongue and a sharp mind and he’s at his best when he’s annoyed or trying to prove a point. He’s got quick recall and can assess a situation just as fast. It doesn’t take him long to come to a decision since he’s almost always plotting something. His attentiveness to situations and typically crafty ways mixed with his charisma drives him to manipulate both people and situations if need it suits him.

Confident -- Jett can’t be brought down. He’s confident in himself and his skills—and of the company he keeps. He knows what he can do and doesn’t really consider what he can’t do; if he tries hard enough, he’s sure that he can get anything done. He exudes an aura of confidence and never seems to doubt himself. He’s critical of his faults, but never verbalizes them; if he finds something wrong with himself, he’d never let anyone else know, would just work to fix it without drawing attention to it. Not that he thinks there’s anything wrong with himself; in his opinion, he’s practically flawless. On the downside to his belief and trust in himself and his skills, overconfidence and arrogance plague Jett, but so far, so good; he’s yet to make a complete a** of himself.

Charismatic -- He’s handsome, charming and friendly. He’s a professional at sweet talking and no one can tell him otherwise. He’s relatively good at reading people and uses this to his advantage both for his own gain and to establish connections. He knows when to praise and flatter and when to hold his tongue and often uses this skill to win favors or friends. He makes a conscious effort to remember names and faces so he doesn’t insult anyone or embarrass himself. His charisma extends to everyone, though the manner in which he uses it is vital: to those he wishes to impress, he uses his skills to please and praise. It is rare for him to lose his cool; he has a carefully cultivated appearance and persona and he will always do his best to be likable.

Ambitious -- He is aware of his skills and will push himself to achieve all that he can—and more. He’ll do what he has to in order to get what he wants, and will never stop fighting for what he believes in. Jett is determined and knows what he wants, and has the willpower and drive to achieve whatever he’s aiming for. He never gives up, no matter how desperate the situation. He’s willing to go the extra mile and do whatever is necessary to achieve his goals.

Flaws:

Self-serving -- Jett’s priorities always start with himself and his interests. He doesn’t often do a good thing just to do it; there’s usually some ulterior motive. His altruism often has at least some level of performative action about it. He weighs the pros and cons of a decision and if it benefits him, he’ll pursue it. His goals and interests trump that of those around him, and he will pursue what he wants even if the outcome is contrary to those of someone close to him. He is very good at being manipulative and misleading others and while he often keeps his end game well-hidden to avoid detection, those he have stepped over may find him unpredictable or untrustworthy.

Competitive -- Jett likes to win. He doesn’t like anyone to be better than him, and he takes it personally when a new challenger approaches. He will go out of his way to establish dominance if need be. Sometimes he pushes himself and others too hard. He doesn’t like to lose and doesn’t like to back down. He can be confrontational and abrasive and is not against employing sneaky tactics if it ensures a victory.

Unforgiving -- Jett is a resentful being and will not easily forgive. He doesn’t believe in apologies and the only time he’s ever given one is when he’s lying to his teeth. Actions speak louder than words, and you can’t just say you’re sorry to Jett. Chances are, if you’ve pissed him off, you’re staying on his s**t list—which could very well be forever. If there’s an altercation of any sort with Jett, it’s best to explain what happened so you don’t find yourself the victim of harassment.

Prideful -- Jett thinks incredibly highly of himself and holds himself to very high standards. Just the same, he holds those that represent him to those same standards. He expects perfection in everything he does, and wants to see the same effort from those around him. He carries himself in high regard and puts a lot of effort into his presentation. He is arrogant enough to think he’s better than most people, and he takes great offense when someone challenges him to that. He doesn’t like to be wrong and will double down and fight about it long before admitting he might be wrong.

Hobbies:

Boxing - Jett is stressed a lot; he’s delivered a persona that is high maintenance and the easiest way for him to work out his stress is by pulverizing something. For particularly stressful days, he’ll hammer out an hours worth of a beating on the punching bag he keeps at home, but Jett is a competitive person by nature and enjoys a good match in the ring. He doesn’t like to be bested, so he’s always sure to do at least half an hour of training a day.

Stocks - An aspiring business man, Jett keeps his eye on the money. He invests his funds wisely and trusts his gut instinct—which he claims rarely lets him down. All in all, he’s made more money than he’s lost, so he can’t complain. Watching numbers rise and fall isn’t as fun as driving a speedy sports car around, but it has its quirks and Jett is determined to master the system, even if he doesn’t strike it big.

Appraising – His mother was a collector of the strange and unusual, so Jett grew up with her ramblings of anything antique. It was his mother’s passion that got him interested, and being around aged things brings him a sense of nostalgia. While his mother liked clocks, Jett has a pension for weapons—not that many really fall into his hand. Like stocks, prices can change overnight and investing time, energy and money is always a thrill. He likes to keep informed and know the value of what he’s around, so he keeps up to date with his research so that he’s as accurate and educated as possible.

Virtues:

Clever -- Crafty and quick witted, Jett will always keep you on your toes. He’s a quick thinker and, while not necessarily book smart, he knows what he needs to know and can work well under pressure. He’s got a quick tongue and a quicker mind; if you’re in an argument, you want Jett on your team. He’s got quick recall and can assess a situation quickly. It doesn’t take him long to come to a decision since he’s almost always plotting something. His attentiveness to situations and typically crafty ways mixed with his charisma drives him to manipulate both people and situations if need it suits him.

Confident -- You can’t bring Jett down. He’s confident in himself and his skills—and of the company he keeps. He knows what he can do and doesn’t really consider what he can’t do; if he tries hard enough, he’s sure that he can get anything done.

Not that he thinks there’s anything wrong with himself; in his opinion, he’s practically flawless. On the downside to his belief and trust in himself and his skills, overconfidence and arrogance plague Jett, but so far, so good; he’s yet to make a complete a** of himself..

Charismatic -- He’s handsome, charming and flirty. He’s a professional at sweet talking and loves to woo the ladies. He’s relatively good at reading people and uses this to his advantage both for his own gain and to establish connections. He knows when to praise and flatter and when to hold his tongue and often uses this skill to win favors or friends. He makes a conscious effort to remember names and faces so he doesn’t insult anyone or embarrass himself. His charisma extends to everyone, though the manner in which he uses it is vital: to those he wishes to impress, he uses his skills to please and praise, but to those he wishes to mock or degrade, his charm makes it all the more painful. It is rare for him to lose his cool, so regardless of the situation, he delivers his charm in a smooth, silky, seductive manner.

Ambitious -- He is aware of his skills and will push himself to achieve all that he can—and more. He’ll do what he has to in order to get what he wants, and will never stop fighting for what he believes in. Jett is determined and knows what he wants, and has the willpower and drive to achieve whatever he sets his goals for. He never gives up, no matter how desperate the situation. Though on the surface he is loyal to those in his group, he keeps it to himself that he will step over almost anyone to get what he wants.

Flaws:

Selfish -- Jett comes first and foremost in any situation. It’s about him first, other’s later. He won’t go out of his way for anyone if he has a choice [and if he doesn’t have a choice, he’ll fight about it] unless he can find some use for them. If he can get someone in his debt, he will. No action is altruistic with Jett; he intends to get what he wants through whoever he can.

Aggressive -- Belligerence is a fault of Jett; he takes offense easily and responds first with insults and then with fists. He rarely thinks about the consequences of fights, but is usually smart enough to hold back and wait until he encounters his victim in a dark alley as opposed to confront them in broad daylight. It’s not a coward’s act, just one of self preservation. Jail isn’t exactly in Jett’s plans for the future. Conscious enough of his actions, Jett isn’t likely to maul someone for some snide insult, though it is likely he’ll head home and work out his frustrations on his punching bag; not so conscious of his words, he’s willing to belittle and degrade anyone at the flip of a dime.

Unforgiving -- Jett is a resentful being and will not easily forgive. He doesn’t believe in apologies and the only time he’s ever given one is when he’s lying to his teeth. Actions speak louder than words, and you can’t just say you’re sorry to Jett. Chances are, if you’ve pissed him off, you’re staying on his s**t list—which could very well be forever. If there’s an altercation of any sort with Jett, it’s best to explain what happened so you don’t find yourself the victim of harassment.

Bully -- This world wasn’t made for weaklings, and Jett is a firm believer that only the strong should survive—and what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, so what’s the harm in a little friendly bullying? If Jett respects you, he leaves you alone—maybe even considers you a friend. If Jett doesn’t respect you, you’re in for a world of trouble. He has no delusions that his bullying will actually make you into a stronger person, but he doesn’t need to sugar coat it to feel good about himself. Bullying gives him a sense of power, and Jett loves power.
