Jay "JJ" Miles Jr.

## Overview

Jay, or "JJ" as everyone calls him, is a gifted marksman and scout for NATO. He is rather young compared to his peers, but his experience on Altis has given him an edge over his enemies and he is now a master in guerrilla warfare.

## Backstory

JJ grew up in a secluded, but privileged town in central Michigan. Born in 2013, he was a young child when the United States was hit by another depression. His father, the CEO of an electrical company, and his business were not greatly effected by the weakening economy. This resulted in JJ growing up in a stable household with lots of wealth, unlike most Americans who were struggling to get by. Jay was sickened by his pampered upbringing and loathed his family as he saw them as a part of the problem with the nation. He believed that if you can afford to give to others less fortunate, then you should. In an act of defiance against his father, he agreed to go to Princeton business school, but did not attend the first day of school. After three days of absence, his dean contacted Jay's father. By the time he figured what was happening, it was to late. Jay had taken a hundred grand from his trust fund and was already four days into BCT at Camp Newman on the other end of the country. His outraged father harassed him for weeks, demanding that he return so that he could one day take reign of the business. Jay chose to instead sever all ties with his family and graduated with honors and at the top of his class in the Army's basic combat training. He served his first year in the army in France, where he learned the basics of the language. In 2032, he served his second deployment in Syria as a part of a failed NATO peacekeeping effort that was soon taken over by CSAT. This humiliation is what created his hatred for CSAT and he developed a severe disliking for the East and CSAT sympathizers. In 2033, he underwent an Officer training course and he joined the US Army Rangers. Upon  completion of both courses, he was deployed to Altis in the winter of that year. In [INSERT DATE OF FIA-AAF NEGOTIATIONS HERE],2034, he was promoted to Second Lieutenant and given command of a Ranger Platoon  for his actions during the Kavala Hostage Crisis. It is unknown what he and his platoon exactly did during the Altis/Stratis incident, but what is known, is that he and his platoon were stationed at a secluded outpost in the South-East peninsula. Several months later, he and his few remaining men were rescued after NATO pushed the AAF to the Safron Peninsula. After CSAT's counter-attack, Jay and his men were   at the Panagia airfield awaiting a flight to Hamburg, Germany. They had the opportunity to flee Altis, but decided to remain behind in order to help as many men make it off the island as possible. A week after the attack, Jay's team found a group of FIA and NATO men led by Sergeant Ben Kerry. For the next two weeks, they hid low and began to stock up on supplies. The next week and a month after the CSAT invasion, they raided a CSAT supply depot. Unluckily for them, a CSAT armored unit was patrolling nearby and killed many of the raiders. Kerry and a few of the men went missing in the attack, and Jay decided that they were most likely dead and ordered for the supply depot to be razed in order to distract  their pursuers. For the next month, AAF special forces hunted them and forced them into the dense forests of the North-West. This culminated into a standoff and a hill nearby Abdera and Galati. Jay led his men up the hill as they recieved fire from AAF soldiers at the base of the hill. The retreating men soon found themselves trapped on the hill with a vault to their backs. When it seemed the AAF were about to reach them, the vault suddenly opened, revealing a small group of NATO soldiers that were hiding inside. The AAF opened fire on them, but the vault was closed, thus denying them entry inside. This is where Jay met his bestfriend Barthemelow, a Staff Sergeant from Virginia. Over the course of the next month they became very close friends as an AAF demo team kept trying to blow there way in. Jay and his men were worried though, they were done to only 2 weeks of light rations and they knew that if they went outside they'd be immedietly gunned down. Their chance came when Devon and Chris killed the demon team and started looting the field house that they were stationed in. The two operatives were then ambushed by an AAF squad, but the FIA fighters and NATO soldiers burst out of the vault and ran to their aid. Many of them were wounded and a few were also killed, but Devon took in their survivors and led them to Abdera where they joined his cause. [TBC]

## Personality

Jay is a kind, but firm individual to his allies, but he thinks of his Eastern allies as below-human. After the Kavala incident, it became clear to him that the Freedom and Independence Army was clearly in the right, while AAF where the land's oppressers. This made him symphthasize with the rebel cause and further increased his hatred for the AAF-supported government in Pyrgos. He is distrustful of outsiders from any country that is not in NATO, which could be seen as borderline rasicm, which he ferverently denies.
