Invader Jhonen

he looks so goofy lol

Invader Jhonen (Jhonen Vasquez) is one of the main characters of Reaper Dayz. He was sent on a fake invader mission to Petra by the Irkens so they could get rid of him.

Jhonen knows he is from Earth but doesn't remember his life there. He only remembers his life in Irk, where he spent most of his life on.

By the age of 11, he and hundreds of other humans were abducted by Irkens to enslave and experiment. Only a few were selected for combat training, and Jhonen was one of those few. During his training, he met Roman, another human who was a year older than him. The two quickly became friends and always planned to destroy the Irkens so all the other humans could be free.

The Irkens, training the humans, decided to take Jhonen in for "extra training." Instead, they heavily manipulated him and forced him to act violently. They even used these violent actions to drive him even more. When he refused to finish someone off or fight back against an opponent, they would get personal and play with his emotions. Because of Jhonens frustration, this would always work, and the Irkens would praise him in return.

Because of how young he was, the Irkens took this to their advantage and raised him to be nothing but loyal and violent. During his teenage years, they pushed him harder on his training, and it got to the point that Jhonen was unfazed when it came to violence. The Irkens even told him that emotions were a sign of weakness and taught him many lies to make the Irken race seem like they were saving the universe instead of conquering it.

After his elite training and becoming an invader by age 18, he was considered a "secret weapon" since he was much larger than the Irkens because he was human.

A few years later, Roman wanted to bring Jhonen back by showing him that the Irkens never truly respected him by sabotage. Roman made it seem like Jhonen was responsible for the incident, and Jhonen was imprisoned and sent to a trial a few hours later. After Jhonen had his pak forcefully removed and was banished because of loyalty to the Irkens, he sought to find Roman and kill him.

Because of his instability, he lashed out at Irkens and caused havoc and terror, primarily out of frustration. After killing his mentor and stealing their dual plasma guns, he found and fought Roman. Because Roman didn't want to fight his old friend, he tried to reason with him. Jhonen ignored him and said that Roman "ruined his life." During Roman's realization that he lost his only friend, Jhonen shoots him in the arm. Roman then ran off in despair, but Jhonen didn't bother to follow.

Jhonen was then called in by the current Tallest and was sent out on a fake mission since they didn't want to deal with Jhonen anymore.

## Personality

Jhonen is said to be an enigma by countless individuals. Because he was brainwashed and trained into being a "secret weapon" for the Irkens, this caused him to become delusional. He once believed that Irkens were superior and that other alien races(including his own) should be conquered, enslaved, and destroyed. However, he grew out of these delusions over time once he figured out his identity.

On Irk, he was considered ruthless. He would do anything that would benefit the Irkens in any way, even if it meant sacrificing himself. Because of his reputation and class rank, he considered himself superior to the other humans enslaved on Irk(ironically, he wasn't in any better position than them). The other humans dislike him intensely, as he occasionally taunts and bullies them.

He was also considered a "living husk," as he would express almost no emotion and only did what he was told. However, when he does become emotional, his actions become unpredictable since he doesn't know how to control himself with his emotions, making him mentally unstable.

He rarely speaks because of how "out of reality" and mentally damaged he has become, only in short sentences, single words, and phrases. His speech is considered "robotic" and "soulless," as if he were a robot or AI reading text. That said, he doesn't have trouble speaking and can write complete sentences, meaning that the way he speaks isn't due to sickness and is more of a result of trauma.

After meeting Doctor Steel, he has shown signs of being protective and having attachment issues. Wherever Steel was, Jhonen had to be there with him, so the two were always seen together. This could mean that either Jhonen is emotionally attached to him or that he still has the "Irken mentality" to submit to someone they respect or see as more powerful than them.

## Trivia

* Jhonen is based on comic book artist *Jhonen Vasquez.*
* Jhonen was born in 1974, and since he's only 22, it could mean that while on Petra, it's 5780, but on Earth, it's only 1996
* Jhonen only eats junk food and snacks because Irkens only eats such things.
* He has scars on his back from when his pak was removed. It has only been implied since he has stitch lines on the back of his crop top and undershirt, but we have yet to see the scars themselves.
* He is fluent in both Irken and English.
* When asked what Jhonen's sexuality is, it is said that he doesn't have one since Julien believes that Jhonen isn't "interested nor cares for that stuff."
* Because he built R.A.Z himself, Jhonen appears to be able to create things and knows robotics and programming.
	+ This is further proven when he upgrades CD with new Irken technology
