Bio: Jonathan Voltaire was born in Venice, Italy to Damien and Elizabetta Voltaire. They were poor and low class, struggling every day to stay afloat in a harsh modernized world. Six years after his birth, his mother conceived a second child. A daughter whom they named Juliana. Seven years after Juliana was born, their home was attacked by the leading Italian crime family. Their father's business had been struggling for years when suddenly, a year ago, it started booming. The change was due to a loan his father had borrowed from the family, and never given back. Their parents were murdered, and during the disarray, Jonathan took his sister and ran. For weeks, they hid in abandoned buildings and homeless shelters, avoiding the relentless criminals. But Jonathan was only thirteen years old, and Juliana was only seven. They couldn't stay in the shadows forever.


Marco Bottiselli was a cruel, violent man, but he did have a soft spot for children. Upon seeing the young Voltaire children, he decided to raise them within the family, in their American-based branch. So they were sent across the Atlantic to Maple Pines. For five years, they were raised to be criminals, given skills to protect themselves on the streets. Juliana wasn't sent out on the streets the way Jonathan was, because of how young she was. But he was sent on his first assignment at fourteen. He made his first kill at fifteen, and his first armed robbery at sixteen. Throughout the years, he discovered a knack for archery, swordsmanship, crafting explosives, and hacking. So he honed these skills. By the time he was eighteen, he was beyond efficient with each. Three months after his eighteenth birthday, Jonathan was sent on a mission to silence a high profile witness. During the job, one of his men slipped up and the target's security was alerted. Jonathan got his men out, but was caught before he could escape himself.


In the grip of the police, who knew all too well who he was and what he was capable of, he was offered a deal. Become a Secret Military Operative and utilize his skills in service of the U.S. Military, or spend the rest of his natural life in a cell. Jonathan had never been one to like being caged, so he agreed, and he was shipped to Afghanistan the following morning. Over the next six years, Jonathan became a different man. As a military operative whose main goal was to protect civilians, he saw the value of the good in someone. He fought many battles alongside men who became like brothers to him. For most missions, his injuries were dismal and easily healed, with no permanent damage to be left. Until his sixth year. His unit was tasked with diffusing an Afghan hostage situation and safely removing all hostages from a building decked out in high tech IED explosives. While the rest of his unit spoke to the radicals inside the building, Jonathan and a soldier named Kenneth Davis were sent inside through an alternate route. Their objective was to eliminate the hostiles and extract the civilians.


But something went wrong. The unit leader miscalculated the number of hostiles inside the building, and Kenneth and Jonathan were caught. Upon seeing the soldiers, the lead radical detonated the bombs. The clock on the detonator read one minutes. Jonathan acted fast. He struck the men holding him with the butt of his gun, leading Kenneth to follow suit. Both soldiers shot down the rest of the radicals and then looked at the front door. It was steel, and locked, and with the thirty seconds they had to get the twenty-six civilians out, they couldn't break it down fast enough. So the decided to go through the glass windows. They got the civilians out with seven seconds to spare. Just enough time to get out. But one the radicals they had knocked out had awoken, and took the chance to fire a shot at Kenneth. The bullet struck his leg, leaving Jonathan with a choice to make. With five seconds on the clock, he could either leave Kenneth behind and save his own life, or get Kenneth out. If there was one thing the military had told him that had left an impression on Jonathan, it was to never leave a soldier behind. With one second on the clock, he passed Kenneth off to the soldiers outside and took a leap for the window. The blast detonated as he took the steps, and the force of it threw him several feet forward. He struck one of the military vehicles with enough force to knock him out cold.


When he woke up in a military hospital in New Mexico, the doctors informed him of the damage that had been done. His right eye had been irreparably damaged, leaving him with red glass eye and no sight. The burns from the blast and the brain damage from the impact had been so bad that they'd placed him in a medically induced coma for nearly two months. When there was no sign of healing, they decided to inject him with experimental nanobot technology to save his life. A year after he was admitted, Jonathan was deployed back to Maple Pines. Before he left, they honored with medals for her bravery, his service, and his accomplishments. His record was wiped clean, and he was free to return to his sister. The family was glad to see him again, and they didn't argue when Jonathan expressed his desire to recede from his place in the family. He stayed away from crime for a couple of months before his sister convinced him to get back in the game. But, his past still sticks with him, so there are so things Jonathan will not do. For the last year, under the alias of Voltaire, Jonathan has established an identity of a normal guy during the day, and a skilled criminal for hire by night.


Occupation: He owns a Mixed Martial Arts gym and teaches forms of fighting such as Krav Maga, Karate, and Jujitsu.


Extra: His red eye is his blind eye.

I left a few notes but for the most part I think you're good to go.
 
Thanks! All fixed.



Take a quick look at this:

The red is his right eye, therefore the blind eye. What he'll be seeing is about 2/3rds of normal vision, simply because that's how eyes work. Just consider whatever is in blue in the diagram. Being blind in one eye means 1/3rd of vision is lost.


Accepted.

Got it! That's what I was going for. 


And thanks! Does that mean I can begin posting with him?
