Description

Personality

Jon didn't earn his nick-name of "Tomb Stone" for nothing.

He's ice cold, or at least he seems that way when you first meet him. The people who really know him would describe him as a ball of fire. Every moment of every day is spent towards the revolution. He does what he can to help the cause: raiding, fighting, and giving every piece of himself to the cause. Some younger women even call him a heart-breaker. He lost his family to the secret police, his brother was shot trying to head out past the city walls without any "proper government transport", and so he's been left with nothing to lose. He's solely dedicated to the revolution and the ideas it carries. He couldn't care less about relationships. As a result, he doesn't particularly have a soft spot for the non-combatant members of the resistance (barring the old, the children, etc.): people who have "joined the resistance" but never actively fight. Instead they just stay in their hide-outs, waiting for their fellow resistance members to return. He calls them "Loafers". However, that doesn't mean he doesn't protect them. He belives that even though they don't have the will to fight, denying them the right to live to see the end of the revolution would be acting almost exactly like the government that they are fighting to over-throw.

So the man is an odd mix of things.

One part leader.
One part fighter.
One part revolutionary.
One part idealist.

Even one part politician . . . albeit, an armed one.

Equipment

Whatever he gets his hands on, as far as weapons go.

He does always carry a pair of razor-sharp axes, however, and a .45 semi-automatic pistol. Out of that, he generally goes with a shotgun of some kind, but will change it up as needed.

History

Jon Hale used to be the ideal SEC-OP officer.

He patrolled the streets, keeping an eye out for a government he has now grown to hate, and doing his best to "keep the peace". He had friends in the precinct, had a nice home, a loving wife, and two wonderful daughters who looked up to their precious daddy. He even held parties in his backyard: inviting people from the precinct station, his neighbors, and friends to come and relax. However, he soon started on a spiral downwards. His brother Sean was apparently hit with the idea to escape one day, though the public news report says he was running from the scene of a "vicious mugging", and had been heading for a gate out of the city walls. He wasn't on a government-controlled public transit (trains, buses, etc.) and was gunned down by a SEC-OP officer who saw him. Jon fell in to depression, becoming an automoton. He just went from home, to work, and back to home. The neighborhood parties stopped. The friendly banter he was always known for stopped. For all intents and purposes: his life stopped. He was on a precipous that, try as they might, his family couldn't seem to pull him away from.

Then the secret police pushed him off.

Why did they grab his family? He doesn't know. He doesn't care. He doesn't even have hope that they're still alive anymore. One night he came home to find that his house had been raided and his family was gone. He wasn't stupid, though. He knew about the secret police, just like any career SEC-OP officer. So three days later he smuggled a service pistol home from the precinct. He walked up to a SEC-OP officer on patrol in a blind anger and shot him six times in the chest. From there, he went in to the underground. He started fighting everything about the government, seemingly alone, but then that changed. People started seeking him out: wanting to fight with him. Their numbers are small, but growing. Jon has a new purpose.

Revolution.
