Dark brown slicked back hair sits above equally dark and bushy eyebrows. A trimmed beard covers a strong jaw comes up to equally strong cheekbones. His brown eyes are just as expressive at showing kindness as it an intense determination to defend his beliefs. Generally a jovial sort, he is still prone to not automatically trusting what he sees and knows he can be very defensive and tries to be conscious of it, often taking a min to reflect on what people are saying. Once you do earn his trust, you can guarantee that there is very little he will not do for you. As a kid, he thought he was an average size until his first deployment to Panama where he and his 5 squad members literally waded through a sea of 4' tall locals on a packed city street. Since then he's been a little bit more conscious of what it means to be 6'. As he put on some pounds over the years through poor choices of eating, he never lost that muscle he'd earned in the military and even when he reached 320 pounds, he was quickly able to shed back down to 250 when he made a conscious effort.

It's not easy to explain the life and times of Jonathan. It's not fair to say he's not from a broken home, but it was definitely battered and bruised. Many of the things he promised he would never do was because he didn't to make the same mistakes of his father. He provided a roof and food, but was never home. The 2nd of his father's children, his sister was there, but not there. Her life took a turn when she couldn't take living under those conditions and was hospitalized. His first step-sister and step-mother left early and hasn't seen them in over two decades. It wasn't until he was an older teen that his father got remarried that he was around again. A new pair of siblings were born, but he didn't keep in touch after he left for the college and then military. He wasn't the ideal soldier, but definitely picked up a skill set that allowed him to succeed in the national guard when he returned. Without room for him in his parents house, he reconnected with his sister who helped him get settled and introduced him to many of her friends. As he started his own series of cooking jobs, he learned to be more sociable as he was finally in a pace that wasn't neglectful or rigidly structured and he started romances both at work and with his new gaming friends. This went on for a while until he was between jobs suddenly and his sister insisted he take an opportunity at one of the transportation companies that she used to work for. Her force of personally got him into a position that he would actually regret taking over the years. While there, he definitely made good money and perfected a set of skills that he should have learned in school or college years ago. Booking, tracking, spreadsheets, typing 80 words a min and even finally being coached in how to write, but in the end of the day, it was not a job he loved no matter how good he was at it and eventually, it really became a chore just to keep up. His attention wavered as he put more effort into gaming and socializing, even when he should have been working. 16 years after starting the job, when a hostile management element took charge of him at work, he didn't fight their efforts to criticize his lack of commitment to the job and was relieved when he was fired. The money he'd invested over the years allowed him to commit to a lesser paying new job in cooking without the stress of having to deal with 600 emails a day and be sturdy enough to still marry his now wife. While he loves his wife her reluctance to have children is a big issue in the marriage and has already put a rift between them that has them acting more like companions than partners.
