Physical Description:
Jamison is a bucket of contradictions supported by a pair of long legs and framed in a lithe athletic body. His hair is short and shaggy, styled in such a way only possible through a hand mirror and a pair of craft scissors. Luckily for him his hair's soft pink coloration and the pair of long hare ears that jut out from the top of the mess draw attention away from his inexpert handy work. With a brown bandana to keep it all contained there is little to judge without getting uncomfortably close.

As for his god given features, Jamison walks the fine line between handsome and pretty. His jaw is soft yet strong with enough roundness to make one question if it's a trick of the light. Thin pink lips match well with his pale rosy skin, giving him a delicate and affectionate smile. However, Whatever softness is granted to him by a majority of his features it is spoiled by his eyes. Sharp and slightly angled, the golden pools carry the edge of a worn knife, judging everything they see with a hard and weary readiness.

The rest of Jamison is testament to a harder life. Worn callused hands, batted knuckles, and a litany of scars all across his body. Several tattoos can also be seen lacing his lithely muscled frame. Encircling his right wrist is a freshly inked black ring, cracked at the vein. Branded on his right shoulder is the stretched and faded shape of a rabbit's dusty paw print. His left calf bares the outline of an arrow puncturing his leg in mockery of an injury. Lastly, at the upper part of his back, between his shoulder blades, is a pair of twinkling jagged stars, one shadowing the other.
Outfit Description:
From the top down, Jamison wears a dark brown bandana to keep his hair in check. Further down is a simple gold chained necklace that flops proudly atop a light pink T-shirt. Two more layers follow, with a white zipper hoodie and a puffy brown bomber jacket. While the shirt and hoodie seem fresh and new, the jacket has seen better days given its scuffed leather surface and worn cuffs. However, hidden within the jacket is a plethora of hidden pockets to support extra munitions. At his waist is a plane black belt that supports the holsters and straps for his weapons at the small of his back. Next is a new pair of dark skinny jeans, complete with manufactured rips along the knees to give the leg hugging pants a flair of poor taste. Finally, to end his ensemble are a heavy pair of steel toed hiking boots, ready and waiting to cave in the shins of annoying braggarts and the faces of unsuspecting grimm.
Personality Description:
Dedicated - Hammered by abject poverty and quenched by his desire for a better life, Jamison will always keep moving forward regardless of what may bar his path. His refusal to give in and the single minded focus he brings to whatever task he's turned his mind to has seen him injured on more than one occasion but has always seen his goals fulfilled.

Serious - Whatever levity Jamison had been born with has long since been summarily punched, kicked, and shot into submission. What remains is a dry sarcasm that finds that half empty glass rather calming. It can be expected for Jamison to either ignore the foolishness happening around him or roll his eyes before making his own minor contribution to a conversation.

Careful - Sadly, Jamison has seen the consequences of one's actions claiming the lives and future of more than enough people. As a result of that, and one to many jumping's, he's come to believe caution to be the be all and end all of virtues. He will be the first to check for danger, to willingly poke holes in stories to uncover a lie, and obtain paperwork in triplicate to prevent a mistake.

Deceitful - Everybody lies. Some do so more than others but everybody lies at some point in their lives. To Jay lies and trickery are a simple fact of life. He deceives to achieve a desired outcome, to offset his opponents, and in rare cases comfort others when the truth would only lead to more problems.

Reliable - Despite his other shortcomings, Jay is a man bound to his promises. He will devote himself fully to remain consistent and punctual even when others trust in him is few and far between. This is true to both his allies and his enemies. He will always be there for those he deems his friends and there when his enemies lower their guard.

Judgmental - Jay, like any other person, is well within his right to judge others. The only difference in his eyes is rather than judging through bias he does so through practicality. It isn't wrong to be wary of someone with a gun as they are more likely to use it then those without. Those who’s excuses fail to explain their actions are more likely to be hiding something rather than not. Such is the way Jamison thinks, as haplessly believing in the good of others is more likely to harm you then it is to save you.
Backstory Highlights:
-The unwanted love child of a career military father and courtesan mother.
-Mother tried raising Jay but her airheaded nature, harmful habits, and work made her unfit to do so.
-Jay turned to thievery and handouts, using his appearance and quick hands to supplement his and his mothers meager earnings.
-Mother passed due to substance abuse when he was around eight years old.
-Sought out father for the first time after finding a keepsake his mother kept hidden and which mentioning his father’s name. The visit ended in Jay being driven off when he confronted the man and told never to show his face again.
-Largely lived on the streets with connections to the red districts and did small work for several gangs in order to survive.
-As he grew older he began interacting directly with the criminal world, acting as messenger, pickpocket, and goffer.
-Began to enter pit fights around the age of 13, facing animals, people, and the occasional small grimm.
His semblance manifesting soon after as a result of his continued fighting. This eventually granted him the moniker whimsy as a result of his delicate appearance and pink aura.
-First killed at the age of 14 when a military underling of his father was sent to remove a loose thread.
Investigation into his father revealed the man had a family of his own as well as the existence of other bastard children.
-Though one could not be found, Jay managed to track down his remaining half-sibling in a rundown orphanage. Finding her sick and worried that their father would do the same to her as he’d done to him, Jay reaffirmed the hatred of his father and spirited his sister away.
Housed his sister in his own place, he nursed her back to health and promised to devote himself to obtaining a better life.
-Spent next two years working harder and taking risks to collect as much money as possible.
Involved anarchist attacks on atlas dust production, dangerous cage fights, and participation in gang conflict.
-When he had enough he made a deal with the white fang setting up new identities for himself and his sister.
-Before leaving Atlas, Jay visited his father’s “official family” when the man was out of the city on military business, revealing his and his sisters existence to the wife and his other half sibling.
So at the age of 18, Jay left for Vale with his sister to start a new life, well away from his father’s reach and authority.
-He all but pushed his sister into a foster home knowing they could give her a better life.
-From there Jay spent the better part of a year settling down before finally entering Beacon Academy with help from a false Atlas recommendation courtesy of the white fang.

Semblance Name:
Duplicity
Semblance Description:
Jay is able to create and control a perfect copy of himself and his equipment. This copy is an exact replica of Jamison, mirroring his appearance, voice, injuries and every detail down to both his scent and internal organs.

The copy is formed directly from Jamison himself, peeling away from his body during the initial point of creation. Though the process is instant, Jamison can choose how much aura to invest into his copy to determine how durable it is. Regardless of the level of aura a copy contains however it will always be an exact copy equal in strength to jay himself. This allows for a copy to be equally dangerous as jay himself even when a single blow can dissipate it. Additionally, Jay can decide to pass on any foreign effects or substances he is currently suffering, be they inflicted through substance, aura or semblance, to his copy, clearing him of the effect.

Once manifested, Jay can freely control and tap into the senses of his copy. This allows him to scout and communicate at long distances or undertake plans that would otherwise be risky to accomplish. Though Jamison is limited to only a single copy at any given time, the copy comes with functional duplicates of everything on his person be it equipment, weaponry, or other items. With this and years of practice, Jay has developed a level of control with his copy to have it fight directly beside him and deceive even the most observant of individuals.

Should Jay make physical contact with his copy he may choose to reabsorb whatever aura the copy managed to retain, dissipating the copy in the process. Forcefully, dispelling the copy at a distance causes any aura expended in its creation to be wholly lost. Jay can also choose to supply an already existing copy with more aura as well, serving to reinforce, heal, and have it take on his current appearance should he wish.
Weapon Name:
Derro Erinyes
Weapon Description:
An amalgam of staff, shotgun and spear, this weapon, whose name loosely translates to vagrant’s vengeance, is what happens when an untrained hand requires a hunter's weapon. When collapsed for storage, this pink and white weapon resembles a rectangular tube roughly two feet in length. Expanding the weapon can draw it out into either its gun or staff variation. The gun variation turns the weapon into a three foot angular shotgun, complete with magazine tube, stock, trigger and the requisite ports necessary for loading and ejecting shells. The shell capacity totals at twelve and is capable of loading both mundane and dust enhanced munitions. In its staff form, the stock of the gun pulls backwards, shifting the loading tube in turn to form the body of the staff's 6 foot length. Small shifts happen throughout the staff's length as well, such as the trigger receding and the stack thinning, to form an even surface. The spear portion of the weapon resolves itself as a hidden blade recessed within what would be the stock portion of the weapon. This foot long blade is spring loaded, allowing it to be violently ejected when triggered. Once out the blade will lock in place allowing it to be used the same as any other spear. In both the stave and spear forms the firing mechanism of the weapon remains operational, granting it the ability to perform ballistic assisted attacks. Firing at longer ranges is also a viable tactic in either of the extended forms but inaccuracies should be expected when wielding what amounts to a stick instead of transforming it into its normal gun configuration.
Other Gear:
-Mechanical Combat Greeves: Heavy mental greaves sturdy enough to withstand the heavy impacts and deliver heavier blows.

-Grenades: A small collection of dust infused grenades to allow for a variety of tactics and wide area destruction.
Fighting Style:
Jamison’s take on combat is what most would call callous, dirty, and cowardly. To Jay there are no rules to fighting. It is a matter of doing whatever you can to get the results you want. If that means shooting an opponent in the back when they’re guard is down, then so be it. He will employ underhanded tactics, ambushes, and suicide runs through the use of his semblance to unbalance and defeat his opponents.

Due to the nature of his background, Jay has only passing familiarity fighting grimm. What few he has faced have been scarcely larger than the average bear, leaving him wildly unfamiliar on how to approach fighting larger grimm. Conversely, Jay has vastly more experience dealing with human opponents, both mundane and aura users alike. This, in turn, has influenced his fighting style to revolve around feints, tricky footwork and deceptive attacks to strike out at vital points. While less effective against aura users due to the nature of their defense, Jay has found even they are not wholly immune to dirty tactics. Sand in the eyes, attacks to the face, tripping feet, pulling hair, grabbing clothing, all are viable even against aura users. Jay makes use of these and much more when facing human opponents.

Beyond his tactics, Jamison favors a more rough and tumble style fueled by experience rather than any set martial form. Kicks though have remained a staple attack in his repertoire both due to his superior leg strength offered by his faunus bloodline and the visceral satisfaction they offer.
