OVERALL LOOKS|
Always dress depending on occasion. If there was a formal occasion or he wanted to go to the club he would of course dress for the part. A nice shirt, some slacks, maybe a fedora if he were in the mood. Be it a casual thing, like going to the beach or going out to hangout with some friends, whatever he could find laying around. While on the job he wears a mask hiding his face from the nose down while wearing a very nice black and white suit, of course doing his being to keep it clean and professional as best he can. But with the current situation either wears his hitman suit or rags to blend in with the crowd around him. But much like his father he usually has a stern look on his face when he’s alone or when he is thinking to himself even when he is probably thinking of something that makes him happy. He has light brown hair, short hair, that is either shaggy down while wearing a hat or spikes it up with gel. But with gel being hard to come by he has a spiky look with just water but when his hair dries is poofy.

Jericho stands at six feet and an inch, weighing at one hundred and ninety-five pounds. He is athletically build due to his martial arts training, lean but muscular arms with six pack abs complimented with strong legs, his body exceptionally evened out. Although it is hardly noticeable his right leg his slightly bigger than his left, again it‘s so hardly noticeable that he doesn‘t notices it. Has a soft skin with a slight tan going on with a decent looking face to boot, chiseled chin, button nose, the works. His body language speaks in two ways. In one way he stand tall revealing his true height, and his back straight showing off his broad shoulders, looking like as it he has good and high confidence. In the other he slouches his body looking lazy or bored making himself look small and shorter than he really is.

LIKES|
-Sweets; especially chocolates
-Blades; Sharp objects are cool especially when it’s in someone you hate or just someone annoying.
-Smoking weed and hookah; Who doesn’t like to kick back and relax?
-Drinking while sniping; A relaxing factor while shooting.
-Athena, his partner; She has good moments, sometimes. But it’s really fun to mess with her.
-The feeling after finishing a work out; I work out!
-Dog; most loyal things in the world until turned into zombie other wise scary as hell.
-Watching star wars and other nerdy movies; every modern day badass has a dorky side.
-Weak spot for girls who remind him of his sisters; sorry for the girls that do, sister zoned.
DISLIKES|
-Cats; the buggers are evil, alive or dead.
-Overly loud noises; Car alerts and sniper rounds are annoying as hell.
-Children; They’re gross and couldn’t believe I was one.
-Other people’s blood; Yes, being a hitman you get to see a whole lot of it doesn’t mean you have to like it. Especially zombie blood…That stuff is narly.
-Seeing targets do awkward things; Sniping a dude while picking his nose is one thing, sniping a dude while banging his secretary is just plain nasty.
-Losing to Athena on kill count;….She likes to rub it in.
STRENGTHS|
-Extremely skilled in hand to hand combat: He has taken many different martial arts from striking styles like Ninjustu to Muay Thai and grappling styles such as Brazilian Jiu-justu to Judo. Making him a very deadly adversary alive or otherwise.
-Skilled in using melee weapons especially with the sword: His mastery with varies weapons comes from his martial status doing kendo and other weapon oriented martial arts. He especially excels with the blade or any other light bladed weapons using speed and accuracy for a fast kill.
-Agile: From his studies from ninjustu and parkour, his is not only fast but swift enough to go from building to build without making a lot of sound very usual for dodging horde of zombies and crazied people if he’s outnumbered.
-Skilled with the sniper rifle and pistols: Although he isn’t much for guns and other loud weapons, he knew it would be needed for varies tasked such as assassinations among other things. But if had to break out guns the sniper and pistol combination would be his choice of weapons. The sniper for long ranged shooting to protect not crazy people while the pistol for quick shots to the head. As such Jericho is a head hunter with these weapons making for quick kills.
-Patient and levelheaded: It takes patience to make the perfect kill, as such he applies it to socializing with others as well. He can keep a level head in the most dire of situations whether it’s life or death or having to face off with other people’s drama. Or the worse of the worse, having to deal with an angry crying child that won‘t ever stop.
-High pain threshold and High stamina: For a job as a hitman, Jericho needs to be able to take a hit, get stab, or even shot and still be able to make and escape when needed. He has great stamina which really helps him keep away from enemies or a horde of flesh eating zombies.
-Intelligent: He is highly intelligent when it comes to varies things mainly due to his experience as a hitman having to bandage wounds, how to maneuver around groups undetected, and he studied psychology in his free time. It’s also a factor of his of his surviving ability, he knows how to hunt and what plants that could be used to poison people or stop infection.
WEAKNESSES|
-Not very good at taking orders: Unless it’s Athena taking charge of a situation any one else trying to boss him around is a no go. He know his and Athena’s ability and that is really all he needs, he can get quite stubborn and rather does his own thing. Or whoever is trying to take charge has something he wants or needs.
-Doesn’t play well with others: Much like taking orders from others he doesn’t play nice with other people. He is blunt about his intentions and what he thinks about others, usually it’s things he doesn’t like and the truth hurts.
-Athena: Not going to lie Athena is the closest person to him. So it’s only natural that he is protective of her, so far, she is the only person he would actually take a bullet for. Also would make rash decisions in order to save her if she were in danger. Also relies on her to keep his back and occasionally spaces out and leaves his back open if he forgets he didn’t bring her on a mission or whatever.
-Weak points: Every fighter has their weak point or have a spot that they leave open. His is when he gets overconfident or relax with fighting someone. When he punches with his right hand strong but at the same time lazily or slobby he leaves his body open for an attack. And although rare, it does happen if he gets tired when fighting he slightly drops hands leaving his face open. But makes up for it with dodging and if he’s faced off against and good fighter a good tactic would be trying to pin him against a wall.
-Having to make decisions for a group: He’s not the type of guy who likes to make important decisions to help a group of people. He is much suited for killing and that is what he is going to continue to do.
-Not quite the runner: He isn’t exactly fast nor is he exactly slow. He is an average speed runner but doesn’t tire very easily and makes up for it with his agility. But if faced in an open plain with little to give him cover or something that will help him maneuver away. He stands little chance against something that is much faster than him and with high stamina.
-Gets bored when sniping: When he’s in a good and safe distance away from everyone, he tends to space out when he’s shooting in order to deal with the loud bang his gun makes. Can be caught off guard if no one is watch his back.
-Hauling around suitcase and other gear: He has two swords, two pistol holsters around his legs and two around his body and a suit case with his sniping rifle with a lot of ammo. It gets cumbersome on several occasions.
QUIRKS & HABITS|
-Talks to himself when he’s bored or alone.
-Makes slurping noises to tease and gross out Athena.
-Pokes Athena constantly when he wants something.
-Scratches his left ear with his right hand to make sure he’s focus, a very odd habit to have but needs it.
-Fake coughs when he feel awkward.
OVERALL PERSONALITY|
-With the general public: He is seen as a very professional person with a very mean persona. He usually has a stern look on his face to make a person consider him untrustworthy or scary. Which is something he needs for his profession. He can switch his mentality very quickly able to sway the masses for him to get jobs from one point, he can seem like, a stated, scary. But if a person wants to make a contract with him he can switch his persona to adjust to how his client’s personality is. If they’re friendly or timid, he would play the nice guy or if they were in need of a serious professional he would keep his usual stature. But being a stranger to him if anyone tries to order him around like a dog without anything he can gain or want from them. Most things he can stay level headed about but that is something he doesn’t tolerate.
-Blunt: He is actually an honest person despite his ability to quick change his mentalities. But that isn’t exactly a good thing. He says what he honestly feels about a person if they ask him and most of the time it isn’t really good. With the majority of people, from a personal stand point, fake or dumb. Whatever the initial impression made be, it mostly with be bad with him.
-Mentality changes: He has three main mentalities he can switch from almost instantly, his friendly state of mind, his killing state of mind, and this deep thought. A technique he trained himself to use to keep his sanity with all the people he has killed.
-Friendly: To those who can withstand his initial impression and actually stay around him or don‘t try to control him, might actually be able to see his more friendly side. Where he actually jokes around or poke fun to pass the time, so friendly and out-going to the extent where if they don’t already know his profession will forget that he is even a hitman with how friendly he can be.
-Killing state of mind: It’s obvious what he does when in his killing, no mercy to his target or targets. It’s his fight or flight mode, no matter the chance he has whether it be a fast in or out kill, he always thinks there is a chance for him to die, so he can always keep up his guard. No matter who the target is he will take them out, the only exceptions so far to this state of mind are his sisters and his partner Athena.
-Deep thought: This the time where he usually like to get high when he take time to reflect about fights he has been in and of to clean up his skills. Or reflect on the people, he has kill and the emotions he felt with each person. While in this state he is usually spacey or stops listening to person even if they were in a middle of a conversation.

OVERALL HISTORY|

-Birth to 5 years: Jericho was the born on Halloween night in the year 1987 in Venice, Italy. He was the first born child to Tony and Rachel Costa, where he was raised lovingly by his parents. Although he was quite the active child and in order to quell his energy they put him into martial arts by the age of five. Jericho quickly took a liking to it young and live happily with is family.
-Age 6-10: In school he wasn’t exactly the most popular student in school, he was often picked on my his fellow students but believing in the creed of the martial arts he refused to do anything to any of them. But instead keep a level head and focus on his studies. Jericho continued his studies in the martial arts and found that he was naturally talented in it, taking winning state in his division at the age of 10.
-Age 11-13: Being in the same school with the kids who bullied him for the major of his school career began to take it’s toll on him. But for the sake of his younger siblings he does everything to hold back his anger and grief and allow it to build and funnel it through his martial arts. Jericho grows wary for plain karate tournaments and steps up it by joining other dojos with other styles of training. He trains in harder styles such as Muay Thai, Ninjutsu and Brazilian jiujutsu. Already he know the significant difference between the other arts and wants to learn more and sees if can take it out to the streets.
-Age 14-18: Now in high school in the top of his class at the age of 14 he continues to be bullied and gets sick of it and beats up four of the bullies at once. Although free of his original bullies, it was made apparent that they were part of a gang. The gang not happy to hear about their boys getting beat set their sights on Jericho. A week after him defeating the bullies they chase him into an alleyway and beat him into a bloody pulp, barely made it out alive, he wanted to become more skilled. After a two weeks healing in the hospital, he trains harder in every art he could find everyday for at least for five hours a day. After a year of constant training and studying, his rage continued to boil to take out the gang who messed with him so. He also took up the weapon oriented martial art perfecting his skill with weapons especially with the blade. At age sixteen the heat of rage, he was feeling finally cooled down when he found his first love, Lily. After six months of being with her the same gang from two years age jumped the two of them while on a date and forced him to watch as they had their way with her and killed her. Being enraged to the fullest degree he attack and killed two of the gangsters causing the rest to run away in fear. Then a man from the darkness who witnessed all of that saw his potential and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. The man made use of Jericho’s abilities and put him through special training while maintaining his education. Once graduating at the top of his class at 18, he cut all ties with his family in order to pursue the life profession of being a hitman. He gets trained in using the sniper rifle and pistol and meets his partner Athena.
-Age 19-25: He continues to do the bidding of the man by the name of “masked godfather” believing he is doing the world a favor by taking out corrupt individuals and other icons. Of course being paid handsomely for each of his kills. In this time his merely hones all of his skills from his hand to hand combat, ground combat, weapon skills, his athletic abilities, his aim and shooting. While doing so took other contracts with other people of people to take out among other things. Doing so, he caught wind of what was suppose to be known as the “miracle cure”. A contractor wanted a sample and was willing to pay 25 millions dollar for the safe secure of the cure. Of course that was a good deal of money and would have him set for life, so he travels to London with Athena only to find people infected with a strange disease. Basically, the walking dead.
