## Biography

This enthusiastic fellow here is Jolly, the third operator of the CMT's Covert-Squad. He always seems to be in a happy mood, constantly smiles and is overall known to be a joyful person who loves to spread the positive energy around him. He gets along extremely well with the other members and also seems to be very good friends with Amelia, always trying his best to cheer her up when she feels down. In his free time, he loves visiting the theater with his friends, plays piano and listens to jazz music.

Jolly was born in Hickupsville, an area further to the east of Bluelu and attended school there as well. Amongst his fellow students, he was known for being a goofball and for his pranks, all while still being the best student in his class. He was also part of one of his school's jazz-clubs along with his older sister Joyce. During his time at school, he had quite a few opportunities to get into relationships, however, always doubled down.

After graduating, Jolly's first place of work was in the company "NanoWire", which was well-known for its innovative robotic systems and especially respected due to its drones. Jolly's job was to check, repair and to even create new machinery there. As it had turned out, he has been extremely good at it, so he eventually received a promotion to a leading engineer. Those were successful times for him, and he even became quite an iconic face of his company. The future looked bright and promising when he later even got promoted to the company's deputy chief. However, just some time later, a fatal gas leak which resulted in a catastrophic explosion caused the entire company building to collapse, resulting in the deaths of nearly all of its employees. Thankfully, Jolly just barely got away with his life and was lucky enough to have survived, despite being badly hurt. But after that incident, his boss decided to completely give up on the company, as they were lacking the staff and funds to proceed. Long story short: Jolly had lost his job and became unemployed for a while. The next few months he would sit depressed at home, trying to forget what had happened and move on. His sister Joyce, the owner of a well-known theater in Bluelu, saw his struggle and helped him by offering him to join her as a comedian as she thought Jolly would be ideal for that kind of work. She was right. In just a short period of time, Jolly became a well-received stand-up comedian, and although not very well know, his small audience loved him. He even started to create comedy sketches on the internet as well, titling them the "Jolly Grinhead Show", which was also not well known, but still very well received.

When the continental war broke out, the army had hired him to take over the role of a drone operator due to his past experience with them. Because of his remarkable piloting-skills, he quickly earned the name "Ace of UAVs" and was involved in dozens of operations in where he had played a major factor for their success.

After the war, Jolly intended to get back to the theater. His military supervisor however, thought it would be a good idea if Jolly would put his drone-piloting skills to good use and introduced him to the CMT, which was still looking for recruits. After some thinking, he joined and now operates under the callsign "Prankster", representing his comedic nature. It is to mention that although working for the CMT, Jolly stills ocassionally makes internet comedy videos in his free time.

## Squad abilities

**Drone Specialist:** Jolly knows how to control and handle several types field-support drones. On some occasions, he may deploy a homemade, yet still officially approved drone on missions, which allow him stake hostiles from air or to just provide minor air support by highlighting enemy positions.**Chameleon:** Jolly has the curious ability of being "invisible" towards infrared sensors. A few other individuals have also been reported to possess such an ability and currently it is not known nor explainable how this can be. Nevertheless, despite all of this, Jolly is still just a normal lad, living his life. Still, "invisibility" towards hostile sensors have proven to be extremely practical during stealth oriented operations.
## Trivia

* In Chapter 1, Jolly's choice of weapon was an M4 carbine with an underbarrel grenade launcher attached to it. However, when working on Chapter 2, Echo Whiskey decided to scrap real-world firearms entirely, opting for fictional weaponry instead. Therefore Jolly's updated personal firearm is now a heavily modified M56A1 assault rifle, the "Little Friend".
	+ Additional equipment of his include smoke grenades, and on some occasions, a homemade drone and its controller.
* In the early production stages of Chapter 1, Jolly would have had a few differences from the current one before they've been changed prior to the release:
	+ He actually was supposed to be already married, while being a father of three. This idea was ditched though, for plot reasons.
	+ Originally, Jolly wasn't supposed to have "hair" on the top of his head.
