History: Born on the "Fresh Kills" Scum Barge, his mother died in delivery and his father was largely absent due to "work" so it is unsurprising that Jackson "Slick" Murphy found his way into the gang life before he was even a teenager. Quick witted and with a certain knack for running raids on other gangs Jackson was able to eventually find his way onto a boat headed for one of the Jovian Junta's military bases, with training via virtuality along the way. A gifted soldier and SecOps specialist he could have gone far, but he was decidedly uncomfortable under the bioconservatives' regime and made off for the autonomist habitats and the Quanxi with a bit of milspec tech to buy his way. Now he operates at a rather high profit margin as a red market security specialist and merc, including a fair amount of work for Firewall as a provisional sentinel.

Personality: Relaxed, friendly, and utterly lethal, Jackson Murphy is a man who likes to enjoy life because he is all too well aware of the possibility of death in ways that do not allow for resleeving (discounting arguments about the nature of the soul of course), the most disconcerting thing about him is his love of a challenging fight, especially considering his penchant for starting them at times. Still, on a job he is utterly professional and completely ruthless in executing his duties, only letting his somewhat dry sense of humor show in the field very rarely.

Appearance: His current sleeve is a male one, standing just slightly over 6 feet tall, fine boned and handsome with a sleekly muscular build, green eyes and dark hair that makes for a decently attractive package without standing out much at all in most crowds, his armor clothes are khaki pants and t-shirts or dress pants and shirts, depending on if he is going for a soldier's bdu or a more classic "mob soldier" for a look.

A scumborn technical whiz who has tried with all of his might to amount to nothing. He deeply desires to live a bohemian and romantic lifestyle in the way of the great poets and artists of the former earth, but finds himself gifted with an alarming technical aptitude that feels somewhat unnerving. An artist so devoted to futility that he's unwilling to save humanity except under threat of extortion (fortunately for humanity, he caves easily).

Jonah never wanted to be good at anything except maybe poetry. Unfortunately, he's never been gifted with words. As a child he was intensely sucessful in his goal as he was raised in an environmentally ravaged Appalachian slum -- the ever expanding outskirts and sewers of Memphis. He scraped by getting a passable education and gradually growing to hate his surroundings -- an abrasive attitude did nothing to help him fit in.

It was little surprise then that he gleefully signed up for indentured servitude in Martian terraforming. Unbeknownst to him at the time, the fall was looming. Just as his term of service started, the fall ended it rapidly. The Martian habitat he was helping to terraform tore itself apart as devastating infowar viruses tore through the life support and population. Jonah is certain he was exposed to some of these viruses, but made no mention as he escaped in a spaceship which eventually joined a scum barge.

Since the fall he's happily lived as a nomad and failing artist hoping his unfulfilled martian responsibilities won't catch up with him. More worrying is the fear that the infowar viruses may catch his ego -- since his escape from the station he's found that he has an incredible knack for mathematics and construction. He feels compelled to build and repair things and does so with a natural ease he knows he shouldn't have. More mysterious still are the occasional bouts of intense concentration and almost prehuman understanding that don't seem native to his skull. His solution has been self-medication with orbital hash (which does suppress his mental faculties admirably) and diligently attempting not to focus on anything that he's good at leading to a almost phobic inability to concentrate.

In spite of these precautions, a subset Phelan's recourse has figured out that Jonah is an extremely competent technologist and he routinely trades his skills for a continued living. Firewall, too, has gotten wind of his talents and through threats of exposing his indentured servitude, his viral exposure or worse his technical aptitude they have cajoled him into being a sentinel.
