He’s an enigma, plain and simple—and he likes it that way. Well traveled, and wise beyond his years, J showed up in Japan with suitcase in hand, simply stating that he was looking for “the truth”. A regular contributor to countless magazines and newspapers throughout the world, J had made quite a name for himself in the world of journalism—and quite a few enemies, as well. What truth J seeks has yet to be found, but until he unearths it, he’ll pass the days spouting pop-culture at his part-time job as a clerk, and manager, of a popular convenience store chain, The Quicku Stoppu, while freelancing at night to satiate his hunger for conspiracy—starting with this mysterious rumor of vampire women lurking about in the streets, and dojos of Japan…
J may seem like a random pop-culture junkie slacker at first glance, but beneath this façade lies a hardened warrior. Fighting only when necessary, J is a master of a self-taught improvisational style of Jeet Kun Do. J also has a very strong connection with the chi, or earth energy flow of the world around him, and his senses tend to peak to almost omniscient levels at times. J’s enigmatic behavior may be both his biggest strength, and his biggest weakness, as he is never quite taken seriously enough. Oh, and did we mention a bad luck streak a mile wide? Where J goes, trouble always seems to follow, in more ways than one.
A kind soul, and outgoing at heart, J is used to dealing with every type of customer, so his patience is never quite broken. Eyes half-cocked, J can be a sarcastic, optimistic everyman, always willing to offer help and advice, yet when the scent of conspiracy or trouble is in the air, can turn into an enigmatic warrior of the night at the drop of a hat. J is an old friend with martial arts instructor Adrian Santos, or “AD”, as he prefers to call him, and settles in the Santos residence’s attic until he gets back on his feet. He has no idea what, or who, awaits him there…
I can probably guess how everyone would react to this…
*gasp* “This guy created a character that isn’t some girl who makes her boobs grow to beachballs! Holy shit! Its the End of the World!”
Hey, being able to create female characters doesn’t mean I don’t come up guys other than my avatar-self either, heh heh. To be blunt, he is based of a good friend of mines back when I post at the Project A-Kon forum. J here happens to be a talented writer who ended taking part on an old role playing thread I came up at the forum entitled “Anime Equinox”. The thread was inspired from reading an awesome self-insertion fan fic series called Curse of the Fanboys. I was impressed with J’s work on writing stories and describing his avatar-self that I always look forward in reading his posts. But during the time I was brainstorming my webcomic project, I just remembered about my buddy and his works that I went straight asking him if he would like to have his avatar take part in the project and that I use him as my own character. He was so interested in the project that he let me have his character plus I had him write a part of the chapters for the project. Once you get to see him in action, I know you guys will instantly love him since he will definitely bring the humor into my project with his sarcasm and wise-cracking lines. I really want to thank J for letting me have his avatar character for this since it really means a lot to me. Well, that’s it for this update. Expect more on the next one since I got a few works saved up. Thanks again.
