Jade Curtiss

General Information
"Now, what would you need to know about this old man?"

One of the men from Auldrant and a praised genius, he was one of the first to arrive on Niteo. Confused, but accepting, he's gone with the flow like always and allowed the problems to roll off his shoulders. A teasing, joking, and dangerously sarcastic old man, he's got a childish side that shows up when it pleases him.

"Well... Now, what do you mean by that?"

Social situations are awkward for him. The social graces of romanticism or relationships confuse him, though he pushes through, attempting to keep his usual manner up.

Most recently, and against the popular belief that Jade's heart is black and shriveled, he began a serious relationship with the Kritiyan, Judith. They were able to hold the relationship for a while, but as things do, it ended. Judith became distant and, while still holding deep feelings for her, even going so far as to being able to admit to himself that he was, indeed, still in love with her, he has agreed that because of his recent problems, he should distance himself from her.

General History
Jade was born in the snowy town of Keterburg on the planet Auldrant to a pair of traditional parents, who were rather old when they had him and his sister. He attended a private school in Keterburg where he learned basic martial arts and self-defense along with his regular classes. At the age of ten, he attempted to harness the Seventh Fonon and failed, leading to the death of his beloved teacher, Nebilim. He attempted to replicate her with the help of his friend of that time, Dist. After this incident, he was adopted by the prestigious Curtiss military family.

He Attended the High school there until graduating Valedictorian of the Malkuth Academy. He went on to attend the Malkuth Military University, where he re-met with Dist. They were assigned a special assignment by the headmaster of the school to delve further into Fomicry, and spent most of his time in the labs where he tolerated Dist.

After an accident in the labs which put Jade in the hospital, Peony convinced him to give up Fomicry. Dist came after Jade, desperate to continue the work, but Jade refused. A fight broke out, in which Dist mangled Jade's back and sent him into the hospital again. Jade refused to speak to Dist, despite his tries.

Jade graduated college with honors at age 25 and entered the Military forces with a recommendation from Peony and mastering the contamination effect within the first few years. He was sent to the Imperial forces, quickly working his way up to Colonel in a matter of years, taking lessons in tactical strategy and mastery of the spear from Seseman. At the age of thirty, he was officially made a Colonel of the Third Division of the Imperial Forces, given the Tartarus three years later.

Relationships
Auldrant:

Luke Fon Fabre: A young child that Jade sees as a brash kid who needs help, but a kid who has grown up exponentially in Jade's eyes. He doesn't quite respect him, but he'd trust him with a butter knife now.

Tear Grants: One of the most capable women Jade knows, and someone he would trust his life with. He respects her resolve, but thinks she tries too hard sometimes.

Guy Cecil: A funny guy. He likes to tease him, but he trusts him.

Anise Tatlin: There's no way to describe how he feels for the girl. He appreciates her and treats her like his own daughter. There's an affection he holds for her that is truly family-like, though he'll never admit it.

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear: A woman with strong morals, though a bit of a pushover at times. He looks out for her when he can, despite how she might not like him sometimes. He views her as the balance to his childish antics, correcting him when he's going a bit far.

Peony: His majesty is a pain, but Jade holds a companionship feeling for him

Non-Auldrant:

Yuri Lowell: He's headstrong and crafty, a person Jade could like well-enough, but he's not terribly trusting of him.

Rita Mordio: Crazy, intelligent, over-reactive, self-conscious, a good fighter, but sometimes brash and hauty, Jade has to work hard to keep a "friendship" with Rita running.

Judith: Yes, he's still in love with her, but will he act on it? Nope. He simply won't push himself on her, though he's saddened by the sudden disappearance of their relationship. He still believes you're a competant fighter with a good head on your shoulders.
