However, when fighting, his personality does a near 180. He becomes serious and cold, often snapping at those fighting with him to try harder, work harder, do BETTER! He can be still and quiet for hours, and his patience is almost unmatched. During minor spars or battles he’s aggressive, but still playful. During any fight where there’s something at stake, though, he is merciless and unstoppable.
Background: Jasper was born in Eorzea and spent the first part of his life there. He honestly remembers little about it, save for the lush forests and gorgeous water he lived near. Because he lived in the woods, his main source of food was that which he hunted. He was by far the best hunter out of anyone he knew due to his incredible vision and steady aim. It was as if he became a completely different person when holding a bow or a gun, and he instantly fell in love with the art of sharpshooting. He would practice constantly, if not from hunting then with simple targets he crafted from wood.
His sister and he were incredibly close through this time, and she was often the one mending his bow after it broke from wear or bartering with merchants for a new gun. In return, Jasper did his best to teach her to hunt, though she was much better at the cooking portion. They were thick as thieves and happy where they lived in their forest paradise, up until some bandits jumped them. Jasper tried to attack and fight them off, but one of the bandits grabbed his sister as a shield and his bullet hit her right in the chest. They left after this, leaving Jasper broken and alone with the body of the one person he cared for.
After giving her a proper burial and vigil, Jasper grabbed his favorite rifle and set off to find the people who had caused this, and from the time he found them in the tavern to the time they stumbled drunkenly into their hideout, Jasper hunted them. He felt nothing when the seven bullets shot neatly into the seven throats, and this gave him a new calling as an assassin. He gained a reputation as “The Deadly Shot”, because his targets were always dead with a single bullet, and he never missed. Of course, this didn’t carry over into battles, as he rarely had the opportunity to set up in a secure location. However, he managed.
Over time he built a reputation for being a complete flirt, most likely a result of not wanting to be alone, and another reputation for leaving a trail of…disappointed ladies in his wake. Jasper rarely forms a close connection with anyone now, not really, because he’s worried about this leading to him getting hurt once again. He did make an oath at his sister’s vigil, however. Jasper vowed that he would never let another person he cared about die, never again. And, to this day, he’s kept this oath. One thing is for certain, there’s nothing more dangerous than having Jasper as an enemy, and nothing safer than having him as a friend.
Equipment: PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II: Its bullets can penetrate solid objects like walls without decreasing their effectiveness.
Defense Field: A generator that forms a spherical field around him automatically when attacked. It currently decreases projectile damage by 40% and all other weapon damage by 20%. The defense is cut the closer an enemy is, making it extremely effective long range but nearly useless during close combat.;
Sub Weapons:
Poison Darts: Quick firing but weak, nowhere near as powerful as his rifle. Drop the opponent's health by 5% each post for three posts or until cured. [Duration: 3 posts, cannot be used two posts in a row, nor can they be stacked in a single post. Currently 1 Dart(s) in his inventory.]
Smoke Bombs: Pull the trigger and they explode into a cloud of smoke within seconds, decreasing visibility. [Currently 1 Bomb(s) in his inventory per thread, lasts the post it's thrown in through the next one before the smoke clears]
Grenades: Pull the trigger, throw, and it explodes. Of course, they can always be dodged. [Currently 1 grenade(s) in his inventory per thread.]
Throwing Knives: Basic throwing knives. Weak and inaccurate. [Reduces accuracy by 25% and strength by 50% when used. Currently 1 knife, but he can retrieve it.]
Gun Skills:
Call Me Cupid: Charms an enemy to fight for him for two turns before disintegrating. [2 turn duration, 4 turn cooldown.]
Steadying Breath: He takes a moment to steady his mind and body. Doubles the amount of damage his guns do. [Lasts the entire next post, but in the post he uses it in it also doubles the damage he takes. This ability cannot be stacked or used twice in a row.]
Adrenaline Spike: His trigger finger gets much faster, allowing him to shoot his gun twice as fast. [The spike lasts through the next post, but won't be able to spike again for three posts or his heart will explode.]
Stun Gun: His next shot can shock the enemy's muscles, weakening their physical attacks by 25%. [1 turn duration, 3 post recharge.]
Fragmentation: The bullets shatter once fired, allowing many shards to fly in all directions and cause minor damage with low accuracy. It's used more for distraction and irritation than anything. [One bullet can be fragmented every other post.]
First Shot: A bullet that explodes violently on impact, dealing major damage if it hits and destroying all in its path. he generally uses it as his first shot, where he's set up to take his most accurate shot. [Once per thread]
Pinpoint: His bullets will not miss his target, even if they dodge. [1 post duration, 4 post cooldown]
8/20 Vision + Steady Hands: Makes his shots even more accurate when stacked with his vision. Using a gun, his shots never miss his target. Of course, if his target moves suddenly last second, the bullet won't magically hit them. The bullet goes exactly where it's fired, so they can be dodged, hence why he's better as a sniper. [Passive Skill]
Stealth Skills:
Hide: He generally uses this to move to a new location and set up again. The illusion is shattered if he attacks. (Or acts in a way that would notify his presence) [1 post duration, 3 post cooldown]
Sticky Paws: Allows him to climb vertical surfaces. [Passive Skill]
Catlike Reflexes: Allows him to double his movement speed for two turns. [2 turn duration, 4 post cooldown]
