you were wondering. also i'll have you know that i am twenty-three & loving it. oh. you've heard that I'm heterosexual? & that I'm from dublin, ireland? well the rumors are true for once. well I gotta get going, being a ballistics and torture expert is calling. see ya'! history levi and eli were born thirty minutes apart in the main hospital of dublin, ireland. their parents were never able to conceive before them, or afterward, so the twins were loved like no children have been loved before. they were raised in middle class suburbia in dublin, living a good life with everything they needed even if they couldn't always have the best toys or nicest clothes. they had love and affection and full bellies. when levi (he will be referred to as 'jett' from here on out considering he would kill me if he heard me use his given name) was seven years old, he awoke in the middle of the night from a nightmare and crept downstairs to find his mother to comfort him. however, when he crested the top of the stairs, he heard voices he didn't recognize in the kitchen, and he waited at the top of the stairs to listen to the conversation. that was the night he learned about something called the 'ira' (the irish republican army) and he heard his parents arguing heatedly with their strange cohort whom jett didn't recognize. his nightmare forgotten, he snuck back up the stairs as the stranger left, crept into his sister's bedroom and curled up beside her in bed, hugging her and telling her everything was alright when she woke up and asked him what was wrong. a week later, the little boy asked his father about the encounter, and as his parents had always been honest with him, his father nodded, gathered his mother and sister, and sat them all down in the living room for a long talk. he explained their connection with the ira and how someday, jett and eli would have to carry on the cause, when they're parents were no longer around. that day was the beginning of the makings of the man jett is today. his father took him out hunting and trained him how to shoot a rifle, but he never took much to guns like his sister did. instead, jett preferred bigger blasts, louder, more violent explosions. as the years went by, he met more members of the ira that were invited into his family's home now that the children knew what was going on. when jett was thirteen, he met a bombs expert and learned how to make a molotov cocktail. he'd had a fascination with fire since he was a little kid, and learning how to make bombs only exacerbated that amazement. when he was fifteen, he accidentally blew up one of the toilets in the bathroom at his school and was suspended for a week (because the administration couldn't figure out who did it exactly, so they suspended everyone involved). despite his bad behavior in school, his parents always pushed him to try to do well in school. he could never concentrate in most classes, but when it came to chemistry, he was an ace. he may not be able to tell you exactly how to solve the mathematical equations behind the compounds, but when it came to mixing ingredients, jett knew exactly how to do it to make the most powerful combinations. he aced his science classes and graduated in the middle of his grade as a senior. when he was eighteen, jett went to cambridge university (thanks to his parents pulling some strings with the ira) and that's where he met connor selwyn, a junior at the university at the time. strangely enough, he became fast friends with the man most people, to this day, think is a psychopath. their personalities clicked rather well, and jett is the one person connor has ever confided his true identity to. after finding out the selwyns ran the irish mob, jett told connor about his family's ties to the ira, and the two began to work out a courtship between the selwyns and the ira. the irish mafia never fully created a relationship with the ira, but jett's extended family grew close to the selwyns and became their second string, so to speak. the selwyns and the byrnes were a force to the reckoned with, and this pairing is what got connor his promotion before he was moved back to los angeles by his father. jett stayed behind in england, eventually dropping out of college as he grew more and more fascinated with ballistics. he was also 'drafted' by the ira and trained to torture victims, a task he didn't particularly revel in but saw as more of a duty so he did it without question. when jett and his twin were 21 was when everything began to fall apart. the ira got a bad taste in their mouth as the tensions between the irish mob and the italians grew more and more sour, and they wanted to drop the alliance with the selwyns. most of jett's family was already entrenched in the mob, many of them living in various cities in the states and carrying out their jobs for the mob, and jett's parents argued heavily on the mob's behalf. they went so far as to stand up against one of the ira's leaders on an issue concerning the mob, and that was their undoing. one fateful night (would you believe it was raining as well?), the ira sent a cleaner crew which strangled both of jett's parents in their own kitchen before dragging their bodies out into the trade district of town and leaving them for everyone to see. their deaths tore jett completely apart. he had been working with the ira but essentially on the mob's payroll, and the complete betrayal of the ira against his parents destroyed him. he fell into a darkness then that only his sister was able to penetrate, and to keep him from killing every single one of the ira, she urged him that they move to the states. they were 22 by this time, and they moved to los angeles to be with the mob who was now their family. jett moved up through the ranks with his skills at ballistics and torture and his cold-hearted way of dealing with things. for a while, he was considered by many as a second-in-command to connor in the mob's army, and he was highly respected by kyson selwyn for his skills. when kyson selwyn died in the los angeles earthquake, jett was in san diego on a similar gun run with his sister eli, a professional gunrunner for the mob. he usually didn't go on those types of missions, but he'd agreed to accompany her because he wanted to see the city. when he heard about kyson's death, he was almost as devastated as the selwyn siblings, and he vowed to never leave them and their cause. he is fully in the irish mob, and one of its top-ranking members to this day. he is the head over ballistics, and one of the primary go-to men if someone needs to be tortured. he now lives in the irish compound in the mountains outside of sapphire bay with the selwyns and his twin sister. personality first and foremost, never ever call him levi. or shannon. it just won't go well. for you. he has been known as 'jett' since he was a kid and was born with jet black hair. obviously, he's now a blond, but he had the blackest hair you can imagine when he was born. anywho. jett is often considered a bit of a nutcase by people who don't know him well because he has a crazy obsession with fire, similar to his twin sister. he also loves blowing things up, which has cost him a lot of girlfriends in the past (not because he blew them up, but he admittedly has tried). although he is an expert at torture and making someone 'talk', he doesn't revel in torturing people like he does blowing up shit. his job as an 'extractor' is merely that: he sees it as his duty so he does his best at it. he can shut off his emotions when he's ordered to do something, and that makes him invaluable as a soldier. he loves very deeply despite his 'shutting off' ability with his emotions. he loves his sister above everyone else and would protect her with his life (although she is a bad ass and doesn't need his help (; ). she is the only true blood family he's got left, and that means a lot to him. in addition to this, jett actually really likes kids. he doesn't necessarily want one of his own, but he loves other people's kids. leave it to the psycho to be good with kids, right? however, even though he is a bit of a nutcase at times, he always treats women with the utmost respect. he's a total and complete gentleman, he just usually freaks girls out when they find out he blows shit up for a living. *shrug* he's a charmer, and his irish accent certainly doesn't hurt matters. (; he gets along well with other people and he's outgoing; it's not until he sets his mind on a mission that he gets extremely linear and blocks out everything around him. oh, and did i mention he likes to blow shit up? | [atrb=width,200] |
