His natural hair color is brown, which is evident in the stubble on the sides of his head and sometimes the mohawk's roots. His eyes are also brown, but he has an assortment of cosmetic contact lenses, from cats-eyes to biohazard symbols to nuclear symbols. Anything that could get a double-take from people. He doesn't have any tattoos, scars, or other permanent marks, but he does have a piercing on his lip and one in his nose.<br/>(http://i50.tinypic.com/1531o9y.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'11"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>177<br/><strong>Body Type:</strong>Average<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong>Varies from day to day (base color is brown)<br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong>Varies from day to day (base color is brown)<br/><br/><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong>His outlandish appearance is pretty distinguishing, but given enough of a reason, he can "dress down" and nearly blend in with a crowd.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Joker is not aggressively confrontational, but his appearance is what it is for two reasons - to weed out the assholes who judge him by his appearance, and to maintain a distance from his family, who won't accept him looking like<em>that.</em>Joker is actually pretty pleasant to deal with, if you don't treat him like a freak right off the bat. He's personable, and some might even call him charming. He has a good sense of humor, and prefers to defuse fights than get involved in them. He has a very even temper, tries to avoid being offended by anything other than blatant and deliberate rudeness, and generally assumes the best of people until they show him otherwise.<br/><br/>Sexually, he's fairly vanilla on his own, and prefers to allow lady-friends to make the first move. However, his personal motto is, "I'll try anything twice," and as a result, he can be coaxed into nearly anything in the bedroom.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong><br/>Scents: Sandalwood, frying eggs, roses<br/>Foods: Fried eggs, poached salmon, Jelly Bellies (all of them)<br/>Books: Fantasy and science fiction, Jim Butcher, Lois McMaster Bujold. Ayn Rand when he wants a good laugh.<br/>Movies: Anything will do, particularly action flicks or really,<em>really</em>bad movies. The latter so that he can mock them.<br/>Physical attractions: Small breasts, a pretty smile, outfits that teasingly fail to reveal anything<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>People who prejudge him (or anyone else) solely on their appearance; blatant rudeness; The scent of coffee; People deliberately breaking things that he'll have to fix<br/><br/><strong>Absolutely Nots:</strong>Former food and former people. Just no.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jackson Wainwright III was a boring, upper-class snot-nosed brat who thought that the world owed him anything and everything he wanted, right up until he got into high school. He quickly learned that coming from a rich family didn't entitle him to jack shit, and with the help of a few nonjudgemental friends, managed to take a new look at the world around him. He became disgusted with his family's snobbish attitudes, particularly his grandparents', and started acting out against them. Before long, he was wearing leather jackets, sporting mohawks, and just generally doing anything that would piss off his family.<br/><br/>At age 18, two hours after his graduation ceremony, he was unceremoniously asked to leave the family until he could, "behave like a proper young gentleman." With $2000 in his pocket (a small gift from his uncle, the only family member that he got along well with) and a duffel bag over his shoulder, Joker (as he prefers to be called) has drifted around the western states doing various jobs, learning how to do a lot of fairly basic things that other people usually don't want to do themselves.<br/><br/>He has a solid foundation in plumbing, mechanical work, electrical work, computers, household patching and repair, roofing, housekeeping, and security work. From Los Angeles to Las Vegas to San Francisco to Seattle and dozens of smaller cities in between, he's seen a lot of the west coast. But now, he's heard that the town of Elliquiy might be a pleasant place to settle. He's tired of wandering, and he wants to see if this is where he can call home.
