Personality: Jest normally has a carefree and laidback personality, is prone to mocking others and often gets into trouble. Slightly bipolar he suffers from sudden mood swings, never dwelling on a certain emotion for an extended period of time. He prefers to keep his emotions under control than allow others to know what’s going on inside.
Jest is very cunning and manipulative, and will always resort to using others if possible. Due to previous experiences he will never sacrifice his wellbeing for others and is considered untrustworthy. Despite this he has an innate desire to be liked by others and enjoys the company of those loyal to him, even if he plans to eventually use them for his own gain.
Due to his royal blood Jest thinks very highly of himself and often comes off as arrogant and devious.
Background:
Jest was the third son of the king who ruled over the islands population. The tribe shared the waters with another tribe from a nearby island; the two had been rivals for decades.
At a young age his brother committed acts of treason, and Jest, who would go to great lengths for his beloved brother’s well being volunteered himself to receive the punishment instead of his kid brother. The sentence was three years prison. Demeaning for a high standing royal such as Jest.
Years past as Jest dwelled in the dark caves south of the village that served as prison cells. Sunlight never reached inside the caves, and soon Jest forgot about the warm glow that radiated during the day. Instead he became accustomed to the dark, sticking to the shadows even after his sentence was over.
When he was released he detested the blazing sun, favoring the shade to open sunlight. He felt as if it was a blessing to bask in such warmth, a blessing he was not worthy of.
The ancestors arrived on their coast not long after the annual festivals, recruiting subjects for their contraptions. They were interested in hybrid mechanics at the time and were willing to grant others access to the abilities they had developed in exchange for test subjects.
Jest, who had grown bored with village life, took them up on the offer. In time he became the first cyborg the ancestors created.
Many, many years passed until the day arrived when he chose to return to his birthplace. His oldest brother had taken over after his father’s death and the seaside village had become a popular tourist spot. Its main attraction was the creatures bred and tamed by the tribesmen.
Yet it seemed treason committed by his brother was still in play, as although it was against tribal law to fall in love with a member of their rival tribe, he did so. Jest was infuriated that his sacrifice had failed to have any impact on the turn of events. The two chiefs of the tribes agreed to allow the two to marry, even though it would not officially be recorded. Hearing the two state they needed no one besides each other, and threats of running away together should their leaders not accept their love during the trial snapped something inside Jest.
They needed me. If not for me, that idiot brother of mine would be rotting away in a cell. If they ran away what was the point of my sacrifice? Do they not comprehend how this would affect the lives of those they leave behind? What selfish fools.
Jest returned home shortly with stains of gore upon his hands and heart.
The news of his deeds rang through the territory and sentenced a heavy price for his head.
Although he was initially a test subject, Jest eventually attained a part time status as a scientist at the lab. He often conducted experiments on a variety of things from living creatures to concentrated energies.
His most troublesome experiment was with a young Zerinika, in which he surgically removed her front talons and grafted them into a tail blade in order to see how the body and cells would respond. Later, having been kept at the lab for a long period of time Zerinika escaped.
