As a fullmorph red fox, his appearance is typical of the species. Fur colouration is a light orange except on his belly, under the chin, and the tip of his tail where it is white. Unlike a normal fox, the fur around his lower legs/paws and the tips of his ears is a dark brown rather than black, a remnant of his former hair colour. Eyes are green and he wears specially made glasses to compensate for the natural short-sightedness of his species. His clothing preferences lean towards the ironic, with his favoured design being a paw print motif. Wears a dog collar with a bone-shaped nametag, the front of which is blank but his name, address, and emergency contact information are on the back. The only parts of his body that are not fully vulpine are his forepaws, which are just flexible enough to be used as hands (though he lacks thumbs) and his throat, allowing him to speak, but he loses this ability whenever he is in a heightened emotional state, including raised/lowered heartbeat or an adrenaline rush.

Jonas’s personality is a hybrid of his human and animal traits, both of which have a significant presence in his mind, though he refuses to acknowledge either as a separate entity and disapproves of anyone who does so. Although very timid in new situations or with strangers, Jonas is actually quite amiable and has a fun-loving side that shows itself when he is in a familiar and safe environment. Because he’s a fullmorph, Jonas has a suppressed sense of inferiority due his lack of physical ability, and is incredibly sensitive about his size. A people pleaser, he attempts to avoid conflict at all costs as part of a defensive instinct.

The Belfords are one of the wealthiest families in the NAR; this is primarily due to the fact that Johannes Sr. was not only a shrewd investor but also because he founded Astion shortly before the end of the Collapse, a company that is now the NAR's leading producer of teefer-related products and is aiming to launch overseas expansion. Jonas’s upbringing was carefully planned to prepare him for one day inheriting the company, but these plans fell apart after he caught Torch Fever in the middle of high school and subsequently contracted TFOR. He remained at home for the next year and a half before running away, and settled in Polyton County after two years on the road. Now employed at the Twin Bells bakery, Jonas is content with a simpler life than he was previously subjected to, and in order to maintain this he keeps his past hidden, though he stays in semi-regular contact with his family, usually through letters, to prevent them from looking for him. He also has access to the family’s contacts and is permitted a generous financial allowance, but sees no reason to use either of them.

No reason you should have to do this on your own, Concerned Reader. How about we collect the character profiles here and simply list the stories each has a role in like in the Paradise setting? -- Lloyd

Scott Jameson

Scott Summers Jameson

Stats

  • Age at onset of TFOR: 35 (November, 2009)
  • Height: 2 meters (about 6'7")
  • Weight: 102 kilos (about 225 pounds)

Powers

  • Age Locked
  • "Plasma Toss"
At the minimum temperature of about 200 degrees fahrenheit he can throw close to 100.
At the average temperature he uses - about 1200 degrees fahrenheit - he can throw about 20.
At the maximum temperature of about 5000 degrees fahrenheit he can throw one.
If he exceeds the above stated numbers he risks falling into a coma and even death.

Description

Tall. At two meters tall he towers over most people and his military bearing and toned physique are used to great advantages when he feels the need for it. Overall he looks like someone altered a wolf to stand on two legs and have hands with opposed thumbs. His most distinguishing characteristic is his fur, which is a true black that does not look 'navy' or 'purple' when the light catches it a certain way.

Personality

At one time a committed pacifist, Scott's outlook changed when the collapse happened and the world descended into chaos. Not long afterwards he came down with TFOR and his life was saved because he collapsed into a snow-bank in the middle of winter when his temperature spiked.

Because of his pacifist leanings, Scott does not like to resort to violence except when it is absolutely necessary. This has led to numerous tragedies in his life that he keeps trying to atone for. But the NAR's government view him as a natural resource, national treasure and a valuable military resource. That view does not sit well with Scott, so he spends his time in a small city, blending into the scenery and holding down a blue-collar job helping to repair and upgrade the infrastructure damaged and/or destroyed during the collapse.

Scott believes strongly in "The Golden Rule" and strives to treat everyone equally well, because that is how he wishes to be treated. But he was also raised to treat women as though they are the most precious of treasures and he is a perfect gentleman in that regard - almost anachronistically so. He is also a "geek", though he hides it well, and dropped out of college because he got bored with the pace of the professors.

Bio

Joined the Pennsylvania Militia in September 2009, not long after the US Federal Government collapsed

Made Sergeant 1/10/2010 and given command of a black-ops group mostly comprised of Teefers called "Havok's Hounds". By the August, 25, 2010 date of the "Greater Pennsylvania Commonwealth" joining the nascent NAR he had gained nearly $2bn CND in bounties (somewhere around 200 of them, none with his actual name) placed by the Canadian Government for his actions in combat. After word of a single bounty of $1bn CDN reached the government of Pennsylvania, he was given a field commission and the rank of first lieutenant. (Note that it was a minor bit of mis-information - no single bounty was ever that large) When the bounties were rescinded and he joined the NAR military he was promoted to Captain and left in charge of his unit.

After becoming a member of the NAR Military he was part of the first major battle on the "New Confederacy", during which three members of his squad were injured and one was killed, when he demanded members of an armored unit of the N.C. Army surrender. The heat-bloom from his response - two balls of plasma at about 2800 degrees C - was recorded by several satellites. Those two balls of plasma completely incinerated the M1 Abrams tank that the N.C. unit was using and destroyed the bodies of the N.C. soldiers. But as a result of that act he spent the next three months in a deep coma.

Currently forced to remain in the NARA Reserves because of the fear the government has of his military skills and TFOR's granted powers. He is "hiding" in Polyton county because he was used and turned into one of the hero's of the nascent NAR. He lives in the hotel next to the bar and spends his days working with Alex Henninger maintaining and repairing the numerous utility lines that run through that part of the NAR.

Stats

  • Human
  • Age at onset of TFOR: 18 (June, 2020)
  • Height: 6' 1”
  • Weight: 135 lbs
  • Birthday: November 10, 2002

Powers

  • High heart rate. About 110-130 at rest. 130-230 when active.
  • "Phase Shifting"
At densities under 10 g/cm³, he can go through about 10 feet of the material before passing out.
At densities from 10-20 g/cm³, he can go through about 3-5 feet before passing out, with extreme discomfort.
He cannot pass through densities greater than 21. That element being Platinum.
As he passes through a material, his heart rate will go up considerably. If it hits 250, serious bodily harm can occur, such as a heart attack, or a ruptured blood vessel.
when his heart rate is between 130-200, his chances of accidentally phasing through something are greatly increased.

Description

An average, just out of high school, first years of college, student. The only thing odd about him is his weight. At 135 lbs, he is much lighter than he looks to be. Mostly because of a high metabolism that he had before the onset of TFORs. He isn't necessarily weak, but many years on ADHD medicine has lowered his weight to almost unsafe levels. He is now working out to try and regain weight. A kind of spindly fellow, his legs and arms are long. Sun bleached blond hair, that is just starting to darken underneath, and blue eyes. His pupils are usually abnormally dilated due to his constantly raised heart rate. He lost his lower right leg during the bombing of his town, and thus has a transtibial, or below the knee, prosthetic leg. The foot looks like this.

His watch works as a heart rate monitor. It starts blinking and beeping at 130bpm, vibrates at 150bpm, and if it ever hits 180bpm, the alarm can be heard over almost anything.

Personality

Allan is an atypical nonconformist. He doesn't fit in with any crowd. Raised a Christian in Texas for his young childhood, religion has stuck with him, in varying amounts of focus, for most of his life. His four years of high school in California were the worst of his life. A few years of bad friendship has hardened him against personal relationships. He uses his generally upbeat personality to mask how he feels underneath. Ever since his Father died during a bombing of their small town, he hasn't cried. When around others, he finds it very hard to show any emotions, not just fear or sadness, but happiness too. He hardly ever uses curse words, and never says f*ck, more out of habit than from religious ideals, and is generally very kind to others.

Bio

His family moved to California in 2016, his freshman year of high school, so that his dad could go to seminary there. Even before he caught the torch, and later TFOR, he was an outsider. Picked on by everyone, his friends turned into fiends in his junior year. That year was also when he caught BlowTorch Fever. Quick medical attention, and well trained staff were all that saved his life. Well, that and God, if his dad is to be believed. His senior year was better, at least until graduation. In June of 2020, his first phase shift happened as he was walking on stage to receive his diploma. Sinking through the floor in front of your entire senior class and their parents is a sure way to become ostracized. In order to avoid unwanted questions and reputations, his family moved back to Texas, settling in a small town just above Amarillo.

His dad got a job as a guard at the Pantex facility, and his mom started working as a temp secretary. Everything was going great until 10:22 on the 12 of November, 2020. That was when the first bomb hit. There were many wounded, and almost no deaths, but one of the victims was Allan's father. It's unknown what the bombs were targeting, or who exactly was responsible, though the Rangers believe that it may have been meant for the Pantex facility. They hope that no one is that stupid, as nuclear weapons are serious business and any attack on or with them could start a new war.

After spending two years helping to rebuild the town, as well as finishing most of his college education, Allan joins the Rangers in October of 2022 in hopes of finding the party responsible. Rather than join the main armed forces, he works with the intelligence department. Finally finding a use for his computer skills. It also helps that he can walk through most walls. He spends a long time chasing ghosts. It's not until 2032 that he actually finds any concrete leads to the bombing incident, which lead him right into the NAR, to a place called Polyton county.
