George Jagger

Rancher

Farmhand

**George "Coyote" Jagger** is a character in Neon Millennium and one of the two Coyotes in charge of protecting Obina Town in Roccaluce. He is also the maternal cousin to Coyote Meriander.

## Appearance

Coyote Jagger is a tall, well built and rugged man with dirty blonde hair and faint blonde facial hair on his chin in a faint goatee. Jagger's most notable feature is the fact that the left side of his face is disfigured and scarred, with him missing an eye and the skin of the disfigured area covering where his eye should be, as well as his scar connecting with his mouth, leaving the left side of his mouth slightly when resting his facial muscles. Due to his hardworking nature, Jagger also appears much older than he actually is, with several wrinkles on his undereye area, forehead, chin, and corners of his eyes.

Jagger's eyes were once a deep brown, but due to magical influence from Guliani D. Montoro, his eye has lightened slightly to a more golden brown.

For attire, Coyote Jagger often wears traditional cowboy style wear, although unlike Meriander, he does not wear a Stetson inspired cowboy-hat. Jagger also wears 1910s inspired menswear like a dress shirt with a suede vest, as well as simple work clothes such as suspenders, flannel shirts, and denim. As someone who does not care much for fashion, Jagger prefers clothes that are easy to work in, as well as easy to wash or repair.

## Personality

Jagger is a man who is defined by his duty to protect his town from threats. At an early age, Jagger wished to be a protector of his people, but after an incident which resulted in the disfiguring of his face, he became much more on edge and less trusting of outsiders, always on edge and unwilling to compromise for the safety of others. Due to his upbringing and stubborn nature, Jagger is not as "book-smart" as Meriander or Montoro, but still possesses an impressive degree of intelligence and perception which allows him to think on the fly much easier than others with a higher degree of confidence. He is also able to pick up skills at an incredible rate, although he is a bit stubborn when learning more abstract things.

As a result of his disfigurement, Jagger is always on edge, which has led him into living a more stressful, tense, and hyperaware, even unwilling to sleep without being sure that his loved ones are safe, which has resulted in him possessing a short-temper and methods of calming himself down being unhealthy, such as smoking or drinking. Although he vows to never drink or smoke in the presence of women and children, showing that he has a code of honor which he sticks to intensely.

This code of honor also extends to his methods of battle, as he does not like to pull out his weapons or fight in front of children and tries to be patient with kids, although he is easily irritated by others, especially individuals like Jewel or Meriander.

Despite his rough and mean exterior, deep down, Jagger is an individual who loves deeply and dearly, although has trouble expressing it beyond physical contact or occasional acts of service, making many believe he is too busy or unwilling to love. He possesses romantic feelings for Guliani, although he would not admit such despite his jealousy towards Tammuz Oni or his firm rejection of Jewel's flirtations, and is loyal in his feelings to his childhood friend despite the unrequited nature as well as his tendency to push others away.

## Powers and Abilities

Jagger, like many people in The Nameless World, do not inherently possess augur and therefore cannot perform yielding magic. However, he has plenty of other skills which can put him on the same level as the average mage.

**Exceptional Strength-**Due to his constant farm work and movement, Jagger is quite strong and well built, and can take down almost anyone, as well as move heavy animals like cows and carry multiple sheep at once. His strength also allows him to easily hold heavy weapons, especially guns.

**Exceptional Dexterity and Senses-**Because of his high-alert lifestyle, Jagger possesses exceptional senses such as incredible hearing and the ability to think and move on the fly, as well as great dexterity with weapons such as his signature lasso and shotgun, even being skilled enough to shoot or tie up someone from a moving horse.

**Ease in Skill Development-**While not being as formally educated as Guliani or his cousin, Jagger can think on the fly incredibly well and pick up skills very easily, usually just by watching someone else perform it, such as him learning Jewel's signature flying kick in a matter of seconds and even applying it while riding his horse.

**Skill and Experience in Wielding Firearms-**Like many people in his town, Jagger is skilled in utilizing firearms, especially pistols and his signature shotgun, which makes him a deadly ranger, especially up close or on his horse. Jagger is also deadly with his sniper, which he often uses for hunting alongside his traditional bow.

**Skill in Singing and Music-** One of Jagger's hobbies from his childhood is playing the banjo and singing, and as he has grown up he has gotten exceptionally skilled in both. According to Wilma Thebe, Jagger has one of the most notable and handsome singing voices ever heard, as it is a combination of his accent with his deep and powerful voice, making him a crowd favorite to sing while at the bar.

**Animal Experience**- Due to his life as a farmhand and rancher, Jagger is skilled with dealing with farm animals, especially horses and riding them. His special horse, Ira, has a deep bond with his master and the two are often together when Jagger is outside.
