jonesiseverywhere | A Primer for Casey Jones (Reply)

IF YOU'VE JUST MET HIM:

He's has very few boundaries
But otherwise an amiable lug
You either like him or you don't he'll roll with either

IF YOU'VE FOUGHT BY HIS SIDE/FOUGHT AGAINST HIM:

He is basically a street fighter, in that he fights monsters and aliens on the street, not...like, knife fighting or fight club-type stuff.
He uses sports equipment as weapons
He's actually kind of a bad fighter with his bare hands, but hand him a weapon and he's a powerhouse for a skinny little guy.
HE'S FUCKING CRAZY
No, really, good at improvisation is one thing (and he's good at it) but Casey rushes into things and doesn't often make plans.
One might think he was completely fearless. (He is not.)
When it works, it works amazingly well
When it doesn't, he ends up in so much trouble.

IF YOU LIVE WITH HIM:

He's told you that:
- His best friends are ninjas
  - But he hasn't mentioned that they are turtles and a rat who live in the sewers. He talks about them like they're humans who live in a regular dojo.
- He's fought aliens
- And mutants
- And robo-ninjas
- And muggers/thugs
- Not the New York mafia though. At his canonpoint they don't know who he is.
  - Or maybe he doesn't know they know who he is? I dunno. Just know he's encountered the Don before.
He's told you what the Kraang are, who Shredder is, and who the Purple Dragon gang is
- But he leaves out the part where their leader Hun can wipe the floor with him.
He's mentioned that he's survived two Kraang invasion attempts and fought in one.
- But not that he and his friends lost so badly when they tried to stop the second one, that he was a refugee on the run the second time, or that he almost lost both his biological family and his ninja turtle friendfamily. He probably will bring that up later when it's important but for now he's content with his friends thinking he's a total unstoppable badass.
He's a good mechanic and consummate tinkerer, often with projects spread out over the dining table. He's mostly self-taught and all of his stuff is MacGyvered together out of household appliances. It's generally reliable, and generally butt-ugly.
He hasn't mentioned his dead mother, but he has talked about his dad and sister so one can infer that mom is not in the picture if one pays attention.
- He also hasn't mentioned his dad's alcoholism or neglect because he doesn't really see it that way.
If you were in the room during this thread, you know he has a metal plate in his skull.
