Name: Jason Descartes Revell (Descartes, or Des)

Age: Born September 4, 1967(Age 42)

Gender: Male

Species: Bear (Black bear, his fur is blue because of a genetic mutation)

Alignment: His works are always for the proliferation and good of the community, unless he is deprived of sleep, which renders him irrational and easy to manipulate.

Appearance: Descartes is a blue bear, his fur color the result of a rare genetic mutation. He typically dons a lab coat, with a purple or magenta shirt, black slacks and sneakers, on. If he is showing that he is not interested in his designation as a scientist, he often removes his coat and rolls up his sleeves. Other than that, he has a wide assortment of plainclothes that he would wear on occasion. Another noticeable feature is a servo motor unit clamped around his left leg. He acquired it after a debilitating disease left his leg paralyzed. He wears a pair of green contact lenses that function as a form of head-up display, and change color according to his mood.

Personality: He is a uniquely extroverted character, with a ravenous appetite for learning. He is very amicable, and nefariously curious. He also has a strong initiative, especially when reaching out to others. A humanitarian, Descartes would never let anyone in need wait, and when he fails to do so, would practically beat himself up. Beneath this light, friendly exterior lies a serious, wise ideology, brought up by his mentor and uncle Spencer Revell, and embodies the will to serve others. He is moderately secretive and at times would snap into paranoia. Most of his incumbent personality gets shut off when deprived of sleep, and instead, a delirious, reckless, irrational manifestation of his psyche takes hold. Despite this, he has proven himself as a loyal, trustworthy friend, one that has withstood the test of time. Being almost twice the age of his friends and contemporaries, he is often seen as a father figure- typical for one of his stature, as a college professor.

Equipment: Typically, Descartes carries a wide assortment of weapons and materials. His lab coat doubles as a nanofiber jet surface that allows him to fly. His primary tool and weapon is his orthopedic cane, built by himself after losing the use of his left leg. Affectionately called SmartCane, it is a computer system, amid several other functions, useful for the situations he would usually face. He also carries a taser, as a non-lethal way of immobilizing hostile subjects, a set of tools, like a drill or chainsaw, and a small medical pack, which he uses to sedate others, or apply first aid. Another notable set of equipment that he has are his neural and biophysical implants that ensure everything from fighting new viruses to organizing the high-speed functions in his subconscious. His six-story brick apartment, located in his hometown of Diverren, Callentine, contains a relatively large workshop and three-car garage. He also has an underground “time capsule” facility in a classified location, where he tests his weapons and stores his outsize equipment. An avid car collector, he has several vehicles in his home, which conceals a six-car rotary garage beneath the parking space. He owns two Mercedes SLs, one for him and the other belonging to his daughter; a 1955 Impala and 1969 Charger, and a Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid for his off-road trips, or when he brings his family along

Talents: He has an innate ability to create a technological device out of any raw material or any junk that he can acquire, which proves useful in survival scenarios. He is also a musical person, and can play four different instruments (guitar, piano, saxophone and violin).

Location/Home: He currently resides at a brick apartment, located at 2199 Hoffman Avenue, (insert city here).

History: Descartes was born to a poor family in a small house at the Diverren, Callentine. They moved to New York a few years after a relative managed to apply for a green card. His father, Lawrence Revell, was a corporate lawyer while his mother, Michelle Walker, was a stay-at-home mother. He lived a seemingly normal life, unaware of the abuse his mother was taking to protect him during his father's alcoholic rampages. However, during his toddler years, his father began exhibiting psychotic fits in front of him, questioning his fidelity and his otherwise innocent mind, and making outrageous claims like “he invented the lightbulb”, to which young Des defiantly negated.

At age seven, he lost his father, an alcoholic, after a drinking binge. They moved to a small bungalow 90 miles outside (insert city here), where he and his brother, Morris, lived for two years. At age 8, his mother is killed in a car crash. His brother was set up for adoption, while he was promptly taken in by his uncle, Spencer Revell, a professor at Columbia University.

Spencer noticed the rapid rate of learning by Descartes, and decided to teach him the ways of science. He quickly became interested and soon, not only was he excelling in the field, but he was also learning music, art, amid other distinguishable hobbies. At age 13, he was granted a scholarship into MIT, taking a triple degree program and earning his masteral and doctorate degrees, both instances he was at the top of his class.

The Callentine Ministry of Intelligence took quick notice of his abilities and recalled him. Within two years of active duty, he was a field researcher and operative, and weapons designer. Despite his age (being 18 at the time), he was able to gain the respect of his fellow operatives, as well as his commanding officers. Befriending a geneticist named Silas Anderson, they were stationed in the Middle East, covertly examining the effects of a vast multitude of biological and chemical weapons designed by them.

On duty one day, they were ambushed and held captive. For days they were tortured without remorse, and by the two-week mark, they were on the brink of insanity. Descartes organized an escape, and with him as lead, managed to make it to the nearest base station, a full 350 miles away.

Descartes suffered severe narcolepsy, linked to post-traumatic stress. His friend Silas relapsed into delirium and tried to poison him using a ricin-laced pellet. Surviving the ordeal, Descartes continued to serve for two years, during then, his personality changed. He became more reserved, pessimistic, and irritable. He was withdrawn from active duty four years later, at age 22.

Back home, he went through countless therapy and rehabilitation sessions, slowly relieving himself of his personality disorder as well as well as his narcolepsy. He decided to take police duty, knowing that his noted resume included citations from the Agency. He was assigned to Special Victims, where he became local deputy.

He also started his practical career as a self-employed researcher, patenting 50 new inventions, along with countless discoveries and applicative studies, within a span of two years. He managed to save a small fortune, which he kept for his future.

Returning to his hometown, he bought a six-story apartment, which he rented out to everyday people. He studied their actions carefully, attaining the social skills needed to overcome his severe depression.

At age 24, he applied for a job as a college professor at his alma mater, to establish his position in the community as an educator. He was assigned to a leading chemical engineer, Amelia Warren, to which he fell in love with. They subsequently married a few months after meeting, and a few months later, had a child.

A few months later, Descartes contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a debilitating neuromuscular disorder that gradually destroys all voluntary motor functions. Struggling to keep his balance, he feverishly looked for a cure, and eventually found one, at the expense of the function of his left leg. To compensate, he attached a special servo motor and created an orthopedic cane to assist in his walking.

A few years later, despite the slumping economy following the Asian economic crisis, Des founded Unravel Industries, a multi-faceted private research and development organization dedicated to both military and civilian purposes. He appointed his brother, Morris, as CEO of the company, and continued to innovate in the fields of software engineering and spaceflight, eventually creating a large-scale deep-space explorer called Tier One. However, this craft did not fly until lately.

Des was once again blessed with his second child, John Jeremiah, on the third anniversary of Unravel's acceptance into the Callentine Stock Exchange. He settled with his family soon afterwards, where he continues to reside to this day. He is a professor, researcher, linguist, and father.
