JUBAL EARLY
AGE: 39
GENDER: Male
NICKNAMES: N/A
MEMBER GROUP: Spacer
BRIEF HISTORY:
Jubal Early was born on the planet of Beaumonde, where he lived with his mother until he was sixteen. As a child, he was quite troubled, and though she never did say it outright, his mother feared him and sensed a darkness within his soul. She wasn't wrong. At one point, Jubal caught and tortured his neighbor's dog, holding it for days while he slowly killed it. Though no one was ever able to prove it was Early, his lack of emotion at the news of the dog's death tipped off those around him that something was amiss. Indeed, even his mother's dog seemed to sense something off about him, refusing to go anywhere near the boy. As far as Early was concerned, he couldn't care less. He was who he was.
During the Unification War, Early took neither side, instead acting as a freelance assassin and bounty hunter for whoever payed the most. His work up to that point had allowed him to increase his skill at the art of combat, stealth, and tracking, a combination of abilities which proved to be some of his greatest assets. Already naturally gifted at violence, formal training and practical experience did wonders for his talents, and officers on both sides of the war were eager to acquire his services, if only for a short time. Ironically, a number of the men and women Early was hired to eliminate or capture turned out to be those who had hired him in the past. Early didn't care about any prior association, however. He was in it for the money, and though he denied it, for the violence.
Following the defeat of the Independents, Early was quick to start officially only taking Alliance contracts. Though he would often work for those of less savory reputations, especially if said people offered him work that gave him a chance to inflict the most damage on a person possible, the Alliance was a powerful foe to have. And despite being an extremely dangerous man, Early was still one man. Besides. It was bad business to cross his number one employer to bad.
In recent times, Early discovered the contract to capture River Tam, and bring in Simon Tam dead or alive. He was able to skillfully infiltrate the ship they were staying on, mid-space voyage, single-handedly incapacitate or imprison the entire crew, and track the girl down. Unfortunately for him, River Tam was able to orchestrate a plan to take him down, which ended with Early being thrown from the hull of Serenity out into the empty void of space. Leaving him for dead, the crew of Serenity left, thinking they were safe.
Unfortunately for them, Jubal Early was able to send out a distress signal using his space suit's systems, and against the odds, was located by a passing freighter. Furious at the actions of the crew of Serenity, Jubal has decided that they will pay for what they did.
And he will acquire that bounty, no matter what the gorram cost may be.
FACE CLAIM: Richard Brooks
EYE COLOR: Brown
HAIR COLOR: Black
OTHER FEATURES: Jubal's left ear is pierced, and he usually wears a silver stud earring regardless of the circumstances.
GENERAL: Jubal Early is an extremely intelligent sociopath with a talent for the violent. Prone to going on and on about philosophical matters regardless of the situation, something about him just doesn't seem quite right. Highly eccentric, he seems to perceive things on a completely different level from more mentally stable individuals, seeing through the basic meaning of things and imbuing them with his own personal observations. In addition to being quite unusual, he is excessively violent, taking great enjoyment out of the pain, both mental and physical, that he inflicts on others. Though he denies his sadistic personality, it influences much of his actions, and he is not afraid to threaten those who stand against him with acts of incredible vileness... and is completely willing to carry said things out if provoked.
WEAKNESSES:
- Sadistic Sociopath - Early has a tendency to be exceptionally unnerving to those around him. Essentially incapable of forming normal relationship with anyone, Early is completely out of his element the second he steps out of his job. Fortunately for him, you don't need friends when you're hunting down criminals.
- Mentally Unstable - Early is not all there, on almost all levels. His mind just doesn't work the way most people's minds do. He has a hard time seeing things as others see them, and finds himself struggling when dealing with others. He works best alone, in his head, all by himself. Jubal Early is the only person Jubal Early can count on to know what he needs to know.
- Incredibly Arrogant - Though he's pretty much earned a bit of arrogance at this point, Early has a tendency to underestimate the resolve of those he goes against. Granted, most people are easily cowed by his threats of violence and pain, but there are those who seem to have an unnatural willpower which goes beyond what he can handle. When this happens, Early can find himself in trouble... exactly like what happened on Serenity.
STRENGTHS:
- Close Quarters Fighter - Early is skilled at fighting in confined spaces, be it with a gun or with his fists. He is capable of neutralizing his foes quickly and brutally, and can take on trained soldiers in hand to hand combat without much trouble. Unnervingly quiet when he wants to, he is capable of waiting patiently for the perfect time to strike, and is able of getting there without anybody noticing him.
- Greatly Perceptive - Though he struggles when dealing with people, Early is extremely adept at perceiving the environment around him. He is capable of seeing things that others would miss even if they were actively searching for it. He is able to see the other side of things, whether they be a gun, a ship, or space itself.
- Exceptionally Athletic - Early is fast, strong, and has brilliant reflexes. Able to snatch a body before it falls over a ledge and makes too much noise, holding himself against the ceiling to ambush someone in a hallway... he's not only capable of doing so, but excels at it.
