Character Archetype: The Missionary.
Character Position: Preacher, mostly, and those duties include converting the heathens and protecting the little children as well as scolding the alleged believers that come sit in the pews before his pulpit (and the alleged believers that DON'T come sit before his pulpit, and everybody else around him, really).
Birthdate and Age: 30 years old--not a whippersnapper, but he don't need a cane yet. He was born on April 7th, making him an Aries, with a Sagittarius Moon and a Scorpio ascendant. Basically, he's stubborn and driven as all get out, and can often be abrasive. But he ain't a bad feller.
Likes:
God + Jesus +The Bible:
Obviously,
Jonathan's a pretty religious person. It's a big part of his life,
it's what defines him as a person, it's his raison d'etre.
But, briefly: he loves God, because, of course, God is the Creator and
the Light and all things are possible through Him. He loves Jesus
for much the same reasons, except that Jesus is also cool because he is
The Savior and he got up on that cross for all our sins. It was Jesus
who also originally spread the good news of God's love for mankind and
the eternal life they would receive in Heaven (if only they would repent
of their wicked, wicked sins). The Bible is the instrument he uses
to teach himself and others about the many joys of Christianity, and he
loves it as both a treasure trove of moral guidance but also a book that's
full of stories that are just plain good, besides being instructive to
heathens and sinners.
Children: Jonathan sees children as the hope for the future, and also as tiny little would-be sinning lumps of clay that require careful and precise moral molding. But, though he is strict with kids, he's also very good with them, being a fair man and knowing when to give in and stand firm (though he does tend to favor standing firm). He is especially protective of orphans, as they are in especial need of guidance, given that they lack parents to do the job for them.
Commanding a Room: Let's be real. Jonathan wants people to hear the Word, but he also likes it when folks are paying attention. He was blessed with a good voice and a fearsome stage presence, so it's not that hard for him to do, but it does fill him with a divine sort of joy when he looks into the eyes of his listeners and sees them all focused clearly on him (and not, say, on the floor, or their neighbor, or even their prayerbooks). He hates it when he sees someone sleeping or drifting off or otherwise engaging in egregious mental non-attendance when he's talking, but fortunately it happened less and less as he refined his speaking skills more and more.
Dislikes:
Flagrant Impropriety:
Jonathan
has a certain idea of how people are supposed to act, and it irritates
him when this idea is challenged. For example, he feels that all
people should at all times struggle to exhibit proper Christian virtues,
which mostly means that he doesn't like overindulgence in unproductive,
sinful behaviors, such as intemperance and sex out of wedlock (i.e., with
whores). It doesn't really refer to him thinking that all men should
be perfect gentlemen in fine clothes and of fine speech and all women should
be delicate flowers in expensive dresses, but he does expect a certain
level of decorum from people (which he usually fails to receive).
For example, it would not bother him so much if a lady wasn't wearing a
dress so much as if she were rude and overtly vulgar (cursing for no reason,
spitting, so on so forth). Though he does feel that ladies ought
to wear dresses, it doesn't bother him too much as long as they're not
showing unnecessary amounts of skin, and it is their character that concerns
him the most. The thing is, he feels the same way about men (er, about
the vulgarity thing. It would probably bother him a great deal to
see a man in a dress).
Willful Ignorance: This
could also be called 'people not listening to him.' When Jonathan
thinks of ignorance he is honestly thinking of ignorance in regards to
the Bible and its good word. It bothers him if people aren't at least
willing to hear him out, to give what he has to say a chance before telling
him where he can put his Bible (though lately he hasn't had as much trouble
with that as he used to). Of course, this also points to something
a bit hypocritical in him, as he's not willing to entertain any idea that
the beliefs he's pushing may be false. But, his reasoning is that
he will listen to any argument someone may have for not believing in God
and the Bible--but then, regardless of what that argument is, he'll just
tell that person that they are wrong and if they do not repent now they
are going STRAIGHT TO HELL.
Hobbies:
Reading: He does
spend a lot of his time engaged with the Good Book. If he's not reading
it to himself he's reading it to others (i.e., the orphans), but he does
read (or rather, re-read) the Bible for at least a few hours each day.
He likes to read other books, as well, whatever he can get his hands on--but
it's pretty hard to find a copy of Ovid or Shakespeare being sold in Tumbleweed,
obviously.
Converting Heathens/Sinners: Probably this is a bit more consuming than just a hobby, but, again, it consumes a great deal of his time. Nothing fills Jonathan with more happiness than converting someone (besides re-reading a really good Bible passage), as it's his God-given mission in life. He loves trying to convince people to believe in the love and protection of the Lord, and steering them away from their previous lives of sin and waste.
Quiet Reflection: Jonathan likes his moments of zen (though he would more likely call them reflections on the glory and complexity of God's creation). He will sometimes look up from his Bible and put it aside to marvel and meditate on the world before him, and wonder how anyone could look at it, with its little orders and perfections (like the way flowers always have certain numbers of petals) and not believe in the existence of the higher power.
Traveling: New places
excite Jonathan, as going to a new place basically means encountering a
whole new group of people that need the healing light of his spiritual
guidance. He tends to stay in a town for a month or two before moving
on--longer if he's making good progress, and even longer if none at all
(as he does not like to give up).
Description:
Hair: Auburn, with
straight bangs over his eyebrows and a short, clean cut in the back.
Jonathan shaves and cuts his hair regularly (it ain't proper for men to
have womanish locks [though he does let his bangs grow a little long],
and he just doesn't like facial hair).
Eyes: Pale blue, and FILLED WITH THE FIRE OF GOD. Jonathan's eyes are his most striking feature, noticeable because of their brightness, clarity, and absolute blue-ness. Jonathan, being used to public speaking, is the sort of person that always holds your gaze when he's conversatin with you, often to the point of being unnerving.
Voice: Rich baritone. His eyes and voice combined make it difficult to ignore him, as people are drawn to the authority and confidence of his speech and the held by the sharpness of his gaze. He always speaks audibly and enunciates carefully, and he's very good at projecting his voice so large groups can hear (again, having had a lot of practice speaking from the pulpit).
Mug: Jonathan's face is thin and angular, with a sharp nose and a firm chin. Even his non-expression comes off as intense, given that his mouth is often set in a straight line and his eyebrows are furrowed. He's not the sort that never smiles or laughs, but it is true that he's more likely to look at someone with consternation than with amusement.
Duds: Jonathan always wears his clerical collar, along with a plain black shirt and pratical, light brown pants. Around his waist he's got a thick belt, with a holster for his gun on the left side and a cross hanging from a chain slung through a loop on the right side. He tends to carry a pocket Bible with him as well, though he's also been known to drag around a larger, more imposing version. When he's preaching on Sundays, he changes into clerical vestments.
Build/Carriage: Jonathan walks in strides, with his head high, giving him an air of determination. He's 5'11, with a lean build that's far from slight but not what anyone would call beefy, either. Like his face, a good word to describe his body would be angular. He has some tone, from all the walking and traveling he's done, but he's not terribly well-muscled or thick in general. His presence is intimidating, but not because he's a big man, though he is reasonably tall. Mostly it comes from his eyes and voice and the whole Fire of God thing.
Personality:
Jonathan's life is his work,
and vice versa. He's an agent of God, and he wants to make sure that's
the first thing you know about him, whether by guessing it from his appearance
or his speech. He will not hesitate to inform you if you he feels
your behavior is un-Christian, from drinking and gambling to simply speaking
coarsely in front of a lady ("damn" and "hell" are only acceptable when
referring to the state and the place, respectively). Unsurprisingly,
he's probably one of the most self-righteous people you will ever (not)
want to meet, and he is completely unashamed of this trait.
This is because Jonny truly does believe he is righteous. He is possessed of an absolute conviction, an unfailing certainty in the truth of his beliefs. This conviction is the driving force behind his personality, his well of strength. Through his faith he is able to create strict codes of honor and morality, and, more importantly, he's able to stick to them fiercely. His conviction is also what drives him to preach to others, but because of his intensity and overbearing attitude, he not only wants to spread the good news, but drill it into your head like a sharp, rusty nail.
Naturally, this tends to irritate most folks he meets. Jonny is plainspoken and blunt, unafraid to tell people that they're going to hell if they do not repent LIKE THE FILTHY SINNERS THEY ARE. Jonny is the kind of person who will (and does) go to a bar, order some water, and harrass the other customers about their intemperance (possibly a bit like the Tee-Totaler, except Jonathan doesn't come back when no one's around and order three rounds of whiskey. And he has no pamphlets, just a Bible, which kicks the ass of any pamphlet ever created). He's even worse when it comes to Injuns, as he regards them as barely human heathens in desperate need of either salvation or, failing that, a swift bullet to the brain. For example, he will probably persist in trying to convert The Noble Savage, but, though he may try initially, he'll quickly decide that God ought to sort out The Killer Redskin.
He can be called sociable and extroverted just because of his tendency to seek people out, but he's not sociable in the sense that he's overly friendly or even easy to get along with/get to know. It's actually difficult to get to know him beyond his brimstone and hellfire religious devotion, and most don't. Most talk with him once or twice and then try to make sure it doesn't happen again. He's often so strict and intense that he makes people uncomfortable. Jonathan's hard on everyone, and he understands that this isn't winning any popularity contests. But it doesn't bother him much, because he's doing it for their own good. When he scolds the others for drinking, swearing, gambling, or (in Butters's case) whoring, he's not doing it out of of cruelty or a desire to bring them down, but because he's trying to save their souls. Jonathan's also hard on himself (although he's noticed he's gotten considerably better at avoiding temptation since coming to Tumbleweed)--he feels he's a sinner just like everybody else. But it would be incorrect if he didn't think he was just a bit above them, because, while he's a sinner, he fully believes he's a _saved_ sinner, and that as long as he continues to do God's work he will be welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven. He also considers it his place to make sure that as many people as possible are saved as well. Because of these beliefs, Jonathan is not afraid of death. He doesn't _want_ to die, of course--he has so much work to do--but in the even that death seems inevitable, Jonathan will meet it without worry, because he _knows_ he's going to a better place.
As mentioned in his likes, he's fond of kids. He's most relaxed around children, especially the very young, and especially the orphaned. Although everyone is born a sinner, children still retain a higher measure of innocence than adults, if only because of their inexperienced youth. He's more likely to forgive a child's foolishness than an adult's foolishness, because children don't know any better. But, though he is kinder to the weesters, he is not indulgent--he will reprimand a misbehaving young'un just as he would anyone else, because it's important to instill proper Christian values early. But when he's with children he's a noticeably gentler person.
Don't think that means he's soft, though. Jonathan is rarely insecure and rarely concerned with what other people think of him. He would never adjust his behavior to get someone to be his friend, because while he is interested in helping people, he's not particularly interested in being anyone's best friend. Not that he would reject a friend, it's just that, as was mentioned, he's not surprised or bothered that no one's lining up for the job. He has a prickly outer shell, and while the core beneath it may not be as prickly, it is MADE OF STEEL and if you try to chew it to see if it is soft and gooey, you will BREAK YOUR TEETH.
So, Jonathan is self-righteous, judgmental, difficult, blunt, and most of the time just not fun to be around. But he is a good person. If someone's in need, he's always willing to help, whether they're wanting for a meal or a place to sleep, or even just for some help carrying their purchases home from the general store. He's always honest, though brutally so, but at least people always know where they stand with him. Jonathan is also reliable and honorable--if he says he'll be somewhere at noon sharp, he'll be there at noon sharp.
But what does he do when confronted with situations and questions that challenge his faith? Simply becomes even more faithful. Jonathan considers hardships a test from God, not a sign that God's abandoned him. And in terms of why he believes, he doesn't think he needs any detailed explanation other than that he just does, because it's the truth, and he knows it's truth because he just does. When Jonathan goes through a rough spot, or even begins to feel just the tiniest bit depressed, he always has the Bible to turn to. He never blames God for unfortunate happenings, because when something unfortunate happens, God is always there to support him. He thinks it's incorrect for others to blame God, as well--after all, God gave everyone free will. It ain't his fault that some folks make poor choices with it. (and if Adam and Eve hadn't sinned in the first place, we'd all still be in paradise anyway)
Jonathan's much more apt to blame something on the Devil. For example, his own powers are clearly a gift from God, but he's pretty sure that only the Devil would allow an Outlaw to be such a good shot or a whore to be so damn good at whoring.
To sum up: basically, he comes off as an overbearing ass, but he's not a bad overbearing ass.
Pros: dedicated, responsible,
honorable, moral, honest, WILL OF STEEL
Cons: blunt, self-righteous,
judgmental, stiff, hyper-intense
History:
Jonathan was the son of
a preacher man. He was born out West, to a Methodist reverend (not
a missionary, though--he was a longstanding local clergyman) and his dainty,
schoolteacher wife. He had a little sister, Nell, whom he loved,
and an older brother, Joseph, whom he idolized. Jonathan and his
siblings learned religion and values from their father, and they got their
booklearnin' from their mother. Jonathan's father was an austere
and severe man, and not concerned about occasionally breaking out a belt
or a switch to beat some virtue into his two boys. His girl he never
hit, on account of he doted on her and she was right sickly (plus boys
are just predisposed to being ornery, and generally required the switch
more often anyway).
This doting never inspired feelings of jealousy in either Jonathan or Joseph--they felt the same way about Nell as their father, as she was their one and only baby sister, and she was unfortunately cursed to catch a disease every time she stepped outside and took a breath. As you can imagine, her time wasn't meant to be long in this world. Until her tenth year, she had been remarkably resilient against the various colds and fevers and other afflictions that constantly invaded her frail immune system (helped in part, surely, by the whole Black family's constant praying). However, one day, after Nell poked her out the window briefly to breathe in the fresh afternoon air, she suddenly fell ill with the most severe fever yet. Despite a doctor and more praying than you can imagine, Nell didn't survive the night, DYING BEFORE HER TIME. (WOE)
This happened when Jonathan was twelve and his brother was sixteen, and it was fundamental in shaping his response to loss and hardship. Since his parents were there to support him at the time, he was taught to believe that Nell's death was all part of God's plan, and that instead of despairing he should rejoice that she had returned to Jesus and entered the Kingdom of Heaven. Rather than causing him to question his faith, Nell's death actually strengthened it. Not only did he fully accept his parents' reassurances, his also found solace in the Bible itself. Instead of cursing God for letting it happen, he praised God for comforting him in his time of need. It affected his elder brother similarly, who, at sixteen, had already decided to follow in his father's footsteps. Joseph was, in fact, even more zealous about religion than Jonathan (who was a pious boy but on the quietly instead of vocally intense side at this point in his life). He wanted to become a missionary and leave their little town, so that he could spread the good word of the Lord to the wide world--especially the parts of it containing heathen Injuns.
Jonathan, being twelve, wasn't sure what he wanted to do, although he was extremely passionate about God and the Bible and reading in general. Thanks to his mother, he received a fairly well-rounded education, though his formal schooling ended just a few years later. But, it could also be said that his schooling didn't end for a while after that, given that his mother was the local schoolteacher and thus in possession of a fair number of books besides the usual texts and primers she used to teach the children. Jonathan's father wasn't so big on his young'uns reading secular works besides their textbooks, but he also wasn't too keen on fighting with his wife, so Jonathan read a great deal in his early years (though he loved the Bible best of all). The combined atmosphere of religion and learning in his formative years nursed his already in-born intensity and instilled in him the seeds of his conviction and morality.
At any rate, a few years passed, and when Joseph turned twenty he told his Ma and Pa and little brother that he was ready to go out and start doing the Lord's work. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of his family, Joseph wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He had a little bit too much faith in God, and decided that for his first act as a missionary/preacher, he would attempt to convert some of the Injuns of the tribes near their town. The particular tribe he planned to talk to was known for their violence and general dislike of the white man (though as long as the white man did not come near them or cramped their style, they mostly refrained from invading and commencing with the slaughtering and the scalping), but Joseph was convinced that the Lord would preserve and provide. Damn fool didn't even bring along a gun, though his father certainly gave him one.
His father and mother attempted to discourage him, and then forbid him, but Joseph was twenty years old now and a MAN and, besides, he had a Calling. Joseph's conviction inspired Jonathan, which was why on that fateful night when his older brother left for the Indian camp he didn't stop him, feeling assured that everything would be all right. Jonathan made an impassioned plea to get Joseph to take along his gun, and Joseph said he would, but when Jonathan woke up the next morning he found the gun still there on the table. Him and his silly trust.
As you might guess, things were not all right. In the morning, Jonathan's parents were furious and distraught with worry, and for good reason. Joseph never returned from his expedition, but proof of his death by Injun hands wasn't discovered until a month or so later, when, upon returning from a trip, his father found an unmistakable bit of his son's scalp (along with a torn up Bible with Joseph's name in it) a little ways away from the town borders. WOE.
When he returned home and delivered the news to his remaining family, there was much WOE. But he explained to Jonathan that he was not to hate the Injuns for what they'd done, because Injuns, y'see, were very much like wild animals. They're simply savages that don't understand civilized ways and morals, no better than coyotes or wolves and sorely lacking in mental faculties. They were not to be hated, but pitied. He also told his son that, like wild animals, it was important to approach them with extreme caution and a loaded gun. Since Jonathan was also keen on becoming a missionary like his late brother, especially after being convinced that Injuns were mindless barbarians in need of salvation and pity, his father began to train him in the shooting arts.
He learned with his brother's gun, and eventually became a decent shot. During this time, his father also began to train him in the preacherly ways, as he had done for his brother before him. Jonathan gave his first sermon at the tender age of seventeen, and several old ladies were shaking just a bit more than they usually did when it was over (or so he liked to imagine). When he was twenty-two, he decided it was time to set out.
Now, both of Jonathan's parents were quite aged, and their health was failing simultaneously. Neither had long to live, though it was his ailing mother that went first, dying in the night just a few weeks before Jonathan was to leave. His father followed her three days later. Jonathan buried his parents together with his brother and sister. He did not cry, for he knew they were happy in the Kingdom of Heaven.
For the past eight years, Jonathan's been traveling around the West, converting when he can, killing when he must, and preaching at anyone who will hear him.
One evening after giving a sermon at a town he had stopped at, a strange old man approached him and told him about a place that could really use his forceful style of sermonizing, a place where the residents were in desperate need of spiritual guidance. That place, of course, was Tumbleweed. Jonathan said he would make the town his next stop.
As he was heading back to the inn that night, he passed by the raucous local tavern. It was true that there were times when he gave into human weakness and took a glass of sin juice, but when he entered the bar he found, interestingly, that booze was the last thing on his mind. He took a sit at the counter and struck up a conversation with the drinkers around him, many of whom had not attended his service that night, and some of whom had. Within twenty minutes everyone in earshot was full of honest repentance. The bar cleared, and when Jonathan left the next week he saw them all filing dutifully into church.
He arrived in Tumbleweed
to an empty church in need of a preacher, so he's taken on the job...
NPCs: (just a couple of orphans)
Meriwether (Merry) Andrews: One of the orphans milling about Jonathan's church. She's nine years old, with dark brown hair she keeps in pigtails and big brown eyes. She has freckles on her face and arms that the other orphans tease her about, which makes her want to punch them in their faces, but spiritual guidance from Jonathan has helped her with her violent cravings. She's pretty scrappy and something of a mini-tomboy, but she likes pretty dresses and loves it when Jonathan reads to her.
Cody Andrews: Merry's older brother. He's twelve years old and very protective of his little sister, though sometimes he'll give in to peer pressure and tease her along with the rest of the kids (though he feels horrible about it later and apologizes profusely). He's skinny and has shaggy, brown hair and hazel eyes, with a tanned complexion that hides any freckles he may have had. He likes getting dirty, which would irritate Jonathan if Cody weren't generally made to wash his own clothes.
Percival (Percy) Sanders: An eleven year old with brownish-blond hair and dark blue eyes. He's Cody's best friend, and while a good boy, fond of teasing Merry. He'll apologize if she starts crying, though, saying he was only having fun and not meaning anything by it. Percy doesn't get himself nearly as dirty as Cody, and his table manners are much better, but it's usually him that thinks up stuff for them to do (read as: get them into trouble), like climb trees and jump off the highest branch or something else foolish like that.
Articulate: Jonathan's a well-spoken man and a good conversationalist, even if it the subject isn't the Bible. Though, of course, the Bible is his favorite subject.
Good with Kids: Children are naturally drawn to Jonathan, and, as was said, he feels more relaxed around them than adults. He knows how to handle kids, and how to shape their malleable minds into something God would be proud of.
Literate: Jonathan's a pretty smart man, as he had a fair amount of home book-learnin' from his mother. He didn't go to a fancy school or anything, but his mother did give him the classics.
Good memory: Especially for appropriate Bible quotes, but Jonathan's pretty good at remembering stuff in general--which comes in handy when an orphan's lost his shoe or something like that.
Cooking and similar domestic
skills: Jonathan favors simple, meat and potatoes meals (literally
composed of meat and potatoes), and he enjoys making them for the orphans
or whoever else is in need of a hot, home-cooked meal. He's also
not bad at minor first aid and mending slightly torn clothes, though for
anything big in the second area he would seek out someone with more experience.
Super Sekrit Speyshul Powers:
The Lord Will Provide: This power is actually particular to the church in Tumbleweed, though it only starts taking effect after Jonathan moves in to preach. Need a meal? Somehow, the church always has enough supplies to fix up some grub for a wanting vagrant or a starving child. Need a place to sleep? Always an extra room with a clean bed and fresh sheets. Need some clothes? Jonathan's got extra sets somewhere, no matter the size (though it ain't ever nothin' too fancy). Put plainly, if someone's in need of the necessities, the church is always well-stocked to serve.
Lead Me Not Into Temptation: Jonathan is very good at resisting sinful behavior. Inhumanly good. This power protects him from indulgence--he never feels the need to drink, smoke, gamble, or see a whore. It would take a great deal of convincing to get him to do anything that would be seen as decadent, excessive, or offensive in the eyes of the Lord (such as any of the aforementioned activities). As you might expect, this power is a good defense from anyone that might try to corrupt him (i.e., he would be quite strong against The Soiled Dove's 'I Want You to Want Me' ability), though it is not completely foolproof. Like I said, if someone were trying very hard, he could possibly be worn down...but they would have to get pretty fancy with their footwork, if you know what I mean.
Divine Presence: Jonathan's main and most used power (which is why I'm sorry I couldn't think of a cool Bible name for it ._.)--he can get anyone to listen to him. Now, the listeners might not exactly agree with what he has to say, but this power enables Jonathan to do what he likes best--command a room. If this power is in effect and he starts talking, especially (and as usually will be the case) if it's Biblical, even people who hate church and hate God will stop and give him their undivided attention, because they just can't help doing so. The more you hate God/the church, the less effective what he actually says will be, but if you're fond of Jesus and/or your mind is soft, you will probably give in to the power of his words.
I Fear No Evil For Thou Art With Me: God's looking out for Jonathan, or at least it seems that way. If Jonathan ever gets into a real fix (likesay, being caught in a gunfight between The Gunslinger and The Outlaw) and he asks for a little help from up there, he'll be able to walk away unscathed. This power is really a sort of 'last resort' sort of thing, though, as Jonathan hates folks that only talk to God when they want something, so he would only use it in a life or death situation. And, it would fail if necessary for DRAMA.
Belongings:
Gun: A Colt .45, this gun
belonged to his late brother, who was full of love for the Lord but just
a bit foolish as to how things actually work. It's a nice gun, but
not nearly as nice as Emmy's--mostly, it's just in good condition because
Jonathan takes care of it (like he does all his worldly possessions) and
because it's really not used much.
Really Nice Bible: Another family heirloom. It's huge and ornate, with a beautifully carved and embossed cover and gilt-edged pages. As you might imagine, Jonathan only takes this out when he's in church, and he treats it with as much respect as he does his mama's grave.
Other, Smaller Bibles: Jonathan keeps pocket and less-shiny Bibles on his person, as he likes to read the Good Book when he's out and about or pull it out to confirm a good quotation he's about to unleash on an unsuspecting townsperson. While not as fancy as his family Bible, these books are all in excellent condition. I mean, they're Bibles, after all, and their pages are sacred, no matter how teeny they be.
Cross: It's gold, just like the chain it hangs from. Jonathan keeps it looped in his belt at all times, and in this way it sort of acts like a cat's bell--you can tell he's coming because you can hear the chain clinking and the cross swinging against his thigh. Jonathan holds it when he's a-prayin, and polishes it regularly to keep it from tarnishing.
Why You?: Um, er, um... EEK TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
Miscellaneous: I like rice (and also meat). Um, sorry for wantonly switching between something resembling old-west speak and regular-like talking (like that).
