Personality Summary:

Johnathan Winters is a driven man. He is a man who knows a life of conflict, obstacles, and continual ordeals, but he is persistent, resourceful, and doesn't believe in an impossible task. Most who know him have never seen him outside of his Close Endeavor uniform, lest know him on a personal level.

John never tried to be someone he wasn't, but always showed who and how he was. Convinced that his higher calling lies with his duty, John is always commanding, strategic, calculating, strict, and effective when there is a task to be done. Lacking a family of his own, he finds companionship among his cohorts, creating a strong bond of trust, belief, and respect with every soldier that comes under his command. When one of his men dies in the field of battle, John understands that all soldiers accept and undertake such a risk, and it comes naturally; when he is betrayed, a personal vendetta is created, and John is never one to let questions and Karma go unanswered.

On a personal level, John has only a few close friends, most of whom are from years past or his closest officers. He treats them as any friend would to another. The only thing that comes between himself and his friends is the call to duty, and that is a call that comes very often, too often for some.

Biography

***Strong and serious, John has persisted through a rough life with discipline and a will to live. His childhood years were tainted when his mother and older sister were killed in a pirate hijacking of a passenger ship, and his father's slow decent into madness. John grew up alone, left to fend for himself, leaving family to live alone, feeling that he was responsible his family's misfortune. When a C.E. recruiter convinced him to join, promising glory and wealth, John joined without hesitation. He became a soldier, and a damn good one, growing an interest in weapons and military technology, and doing what was righteous or asked of. When the Mining Fever, the long string of violent mining rebellions, broke out, Close Endeavors was brought in to suppress them, and John was always on the gritty frontlines, surviving through valiant courage, steadfast devotion, and quick aim. He remembers the gruesome scenes of the rebellions, and those images reinforced his determination to do what he must to rid people of evil, and protect those who cannot protect themselves; through this, he rescued a young woman, whose fate would cross with John's again. Throughout, and even until the end of the Mining Fever, John was offered several promotions to ranks of Lieutenant General, every time he turned them down, knowing he could do more with his boots on the ground, then his mind behind the scenes. On the day that marked 11 faithful years of service, C.E. reassigned him to a planet called Desertia. As he feels the sands of Desertia for the first time, he knows he must do what is necessary to survive, even if it meant spilling the blood of others.

Misc. Information:

-Favorite Color: Red
-He was offered a Lt. General position numerous times, but continues to deny them.
-Winters hides the fact that he is becoming more and more conscious of his age and inactivity. He tries to cover them up and compensate by attempting to be more active on the ground.
-There is a CE Training and Evaluation Center named after him on a planet in a neighboring system.
-Winters has operated both conventional and covert forces. When he was a Major, he lead a GSAF-sanctioned surgical strike team to sabotage and eliminate several Entanglement strongholds on a few nearby planets.
-He had to take the CEAF Qualification Exam twice: a malfunction with one of the training planes forced it into an emergency landing: both the pilot and student managed to escape alright, and Winters took the same exam in a different plane only 3 hours later.
-Despite his knowledge and capability with the CE intelligence equipment, Winters despises civilian computers. They are too "underpowered, inefficient, and linear". He leaves that work to others.

*Author's Note*:
John was my very first Character, created back when Desertia was comprised of no more than 4 people (Sting, Pat, Lucan, and Myself). CE was barely utilized at all, and was never really refined: it was basically a general military on Desertia. When I was volunteered for the position with Winters, I started etching out what CE was/will be (The PMC idea was a shared thing between Sting and I). CE has always been a changing and evolving Faction, but John has always been the same: John was supposed to be the full embodiment of Close Endeavors, and so I continue to mold both as time goes on.
Now as I restart him and delete a lot of his background that had developed inserver, I'm sad to see it all lost, but curious where this will go now.

Here is the original picture for the front cover of Planetary Times, one of the most popular interplanetary periodical companies to date. John was asked to pose here as the triumphant heroes who squashed the mining revolts on Perseus Major. For that month, John was the posterboy for C.E., but those days did not last long for him, as he would return to violent duty within the same month.

I wonder what Johnathan imagines his retirement like... Hmmm?

I wonder what Johnathan imagines his retirement like... Hmmm?

If you were around when he was dishonorably discharged in the last storyline, you'd see how badly he'd take it.
