•Background:

As the older of two siblings by several years, Jet has always done his best to keep Clouds interests ahead of his own, with the exception of his earliest days where he was just as spoiled as her. Not long after he turned 10 he asked his grandmother, a huntress, to teach him how to fight. Though she readily trained him in her style, he quickly abandoned her twin pistol style in favor of heavier armaments to suit his natural strengths.

Some time later, he entered combat school, proving to be highly effective (but far from efficient) with close range combat. Finding his semblance to be of minimal use in a fight, he trained to make split second reactions based on the short glimpses he could attain, simultaneously building on his aura reserve and reflexes. Being as far from a strategist as it gets, he consistently opted to specialize into more brutal, short range weapons to maximise the amount of damage he could do in a short span without wasting time.

Having become a heavy hitter over a leader, he resigned to act as his team’s crowd control expert upon graduating into Beacon Academy. He regularly found the established plan to be long and over complicated, and so found shortcuts in the stratagem to ensure his team made it through missions in minimal time/ This often got on their leaders nerves by abridging a meticulously outlined mission into a short, brutal march between points.

By some miracle, Jet managed to graduate Beacon without getting any teammates killed by repeated mission derailment. Proving surprisingly competent in the less combat specific classes he managed to graduate with fairly high marks in most areas. At this point he immediately went on the reserve list of huntsman rather than active, pursuing work within the kingdom as a bodyguard for several years until his little sister Cloud finally graduated.

As a team, Jet and Cloud take on long term missions outside the kingdom performing various tasks such as village protection and grimm extermination. During their extensive time in the field, the siblings are mostly reliant on each-other for conversation and they have developed an emotional bond far deeper than that of most siblings.

After a few years of working together, tJet and his younger sister founded Nimbus Investigations, a PI company in Vale's business district taking on non-mission work.

•Personality: Jet has spent his entire life dedicating his free time to his little sister; specifically to keeping her out of trouble. As a result he is very protective of her, and prefers brute force when dealing with problems to tactical thinking. He often opts to clear out trouble as quickly as he can with no regards to collateral damage, which can result in trouble further down the line on occasion. In spite of this chaotic methodology, he does have a system, working through problems steadily by taking every possible route if the straightforward way doesn’t work. He is quite organized in regards to finances and personal effects, performing his own weapons maintenance on a regular basis as well as Cloud’s, and managing the finances of both siblings due to Cloud’s rather flighty and fiscally irresponsible nature.

•Likes: Cloud, cities, heavy ordnance
