'You would think it'd be pretty hard not to see a guy in authentic samurai armor walking around in the middle of the night...
In which case, y-you're right.'
Jonas is a baby-faced young adult who doesn't look all that worse for wear, despite being out of work. He seems tired and sluggish from mild lack of sleep and is always seen in his favorite jacket. He seems frail despite the bulk that his jacket adds onto his appearance. All in all, there is very little that is special to point out about him.
'Just some pictures I took of myself as Shogun. No big deal...
Except for the fact that it IS a big deal.'

[The Brave]
Jonas is the pinnacle of human courage in and out of battle, capable of entirely blocking out fear and becoming stronger just because of it. He excels in areas requiring physical courage, courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, death, or threat of death, but is also very strong in the area of moral courage, the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement. His courage goes beyond just helping himself and can extend out to others in their time of need, giving them the extra strength needed to push on. [LOCKED]

Short backstory (how they got their powers and found G.S.U.N):
Jonas was your average teen, a native of Chicago. At the age of 11 (his brother was seventeen and preparing to move out), the boy's mother was savagely beaten, raped, and murdered while walking home from a night volunteer service. The perpetrator was never found. Feeling betrayed that the cops hadn't found his mothers kill, this left Jonas with an understandable disdain for criminals and the legal system. Despite this, his brother signed up for the police academy shortly after their mother's death and opted to delay his move to help his father recover. Jonas found an outlet for his anger and grief in Japanese animation and culture, specifically the bloody battle scenes and idea that some of this were actually based on real life people. Intrigued by the prospect of it all, Jonas begged his father to enroll him in a nearby dojo that would teach him the dying ways of the samurai. His father eventually caved in and, at the young age of 14, the boy began his formal training. He continued his training under a knowledgeable master for the next four years in school and then the next four by himself out of school, simply honing his skills. When he realized that the state of the world was not getting much better, Jonas saved up every penny he could to buy his own suit of samurai armor. Though he lost his job as a result of constant exhaustion from overworking himself, Jonas accomplished his goal and took to the streets, hoping to use his skills to help the 'clean up effort'. Unbeknownst to him, the entire time he was preparing to start his career as a vigilante, his father had been courting a very fine maiden...
So, yeah.
Basic Personality:
Jonas is timid and shows a certain degree of uncertainty about most of his decisions. By societies standards, he is considered unorthodox and strange by his infatuation with Japanese literature, animation, culture, history, ect., but rather than deny this he rather accepts it as a part of him and moves on. Despite his passive beta-male nature, Jonas can show acts of extreme courage but will often pessimistically resent them later on. In his daily life, Jonas is very kind and welcoming despite giving off a 'lone wolf' vibe and will always help someone in need, going so far as to help established enemies if necessary. When taking on the mantle of Shogun, Jonas becomes an entirely different person. He swaggers about with a confident stride in his step. He remains as compassionate and caring as ever, but will sometimes go out of his way to help people in ways that do not convey his armors menacing demeanor. He can also act uncharacteristically cruel, especially when dealing with criminals.

A hero rides with us. Their name is Courage. They give us the strength to stand and fight, even when we would rather cower and flee. And with their help, we shall prevail against the enemy. Our time...IS NOW! Enough with the enemy trying to take what is rightfully ours! We shall drive them back! Crush them! Make sure that they never return! SO COME WITH ME, WARRIORS! WE WILL RECLAIM OUR BIRTHRIGHTS! And warriors we shall remain... to the end. Until each and every one of them falls.
(A pretty nice poem I found that perfectly fit my character. If you ever see the name Bret Ginn, know that they're probably the person that made this epic piece of literature.)
