## History

### Early life

Jadoe grew up in Raynland and had a fairly typical childhood. When he was a child, his father, Rayn, was elected King of Raynland and he began being raised solely by his mother. In 500 AM, Raynland was invaded by Lot and his father moved their family farther North, so he could be closer to the battlegrounds. In 505 AM, when he was 13, Lot conducted a midnight raid on their village and many of the people Jadoe knew were killed. After being separated from his mother, he was taken captive by the Lottish army and taken to the Lottish Palace Prison as a prisoner of war.

King Lot VIII offered Jadoe's father an ultimatum. If Jadoe's father sent reinforcements to save his son in the next five years, Lot VIII would kill other Raynish prisoners. During those five years, he would be free to do what he wanted with the prince, and Rayn could not interfere. At the end of the five years, he would make a deal with Rayn to either turn himself in and let his son go free, or watch his son be executed. It took three weeks for Rayn to respond to the ultimatum, during which Jadoe was brutally tortured by Lottish soldiers. His father gave his word he would not interfere, and would return for his son in five years.

During those five years, Jadoe worked as the head servant to Lot IX, the King's only son and heir to the Lottish Empire. The two became incredibly close, despite having a strained relationship, and grew to become genuine friends. Jadoe worked with Lot IX to grant more freedom and better conditions to the other Raynish servants, slaves, and prisoners. There were rumors that the Prince and Jadoe were in love, which angered both kings, but no evidence was ever discovered either way.

At the end of the five years, The Lottish Empire finally received Rayn's final decision. Because of his importance in the war against Lot, he knew giving himself up would decimate morale and put Raynland at risk, so he would allow Jadoe to be executed. Lot VIII arranged for Jadoe to be executed via guillotine, but on the day of the execution, Prince Lot IX threw himself on the blade to protect Jadoe, saving his life. The Prince was seriously wounded and permanently scarred, and the outraged King put Jadoe in the care of his closest confidant, with the only instructions for his care being not to kill him.

The King's confidant saw the value in AKI, which Lot was mostly uninvolved in, and forced Jadoe to undergo mutliple experimental AKI surgeries, including five activity inserts. For a year, Jadoe trained endlessly until he was an expert in AKI. He was enrolled in advanced teams and competitions until he became one of the top scoring players in the world, and one of Lot's biggest celebrities.

### Mission

In 516 AM, Jadoe was approached by the King's confidant, who informed him that a mysterious figure named Contempt, who was claiming to be the Messiah, had offered the Empire of Lot an exorbitant amount of money to send their best assassin after a new AKI player named Skully Deathboy, who was also claiming to be the messiah. Contempt wanted the assassin to seriously injure, but not kill Skully. If Jadoe carried out the mission successfully, he would be given his freedom.

Jadoe agreed and used his AKI fame to gain access to Skully after hours and attacked his team. He managed to wound Bristor and Ryder before Skully was able to fend him off using his magic. They took Jadoe captive and interrogated him, shocked when they found out why he'd been sent after them. Worried about Lottish backlash, they took Jadoe to Lot to return him to the King, only to discover that the King was away because of the war, and that Prince Lot IX was the only member of the royal family present at the castle.

Jadoe spoke to Lot IX for the first time since his execution, but unbeknownst to him, Ryder was eavesdropping. She spoke to Skully, who told everything to Bristor, as well. After realizing that the Prince would be more likely to free Jadoe, he offered to buy his freedom. The Prince agreed and Jadoe joined their team as their final player. While he didn't believe Skully's story, he liked the idea of someone bringing peace to current conflicts, and he wanted to show gratitude for his freedom, so he introduced them to Alayna Lux, his close friend and prospective Elf.

Jadoe and Alayna trained the others in AKI until they were at an advanced level, which both Ryder and Skully disliked. Bristor, however, worked hard under Jadoe's tutelage and the two grew from rivals to friends. Jadoe and Bristor began drinking together and even eventually visited a club Jadoe used to frequent, with Jadoe confiding many of his secrets in Bristor, such as his feelings for Lot IX and his past as a sex worker.

After tensions began to run high at tournaments, Bristor invited Jadoe and the others to his family's vacation home in Dhabbab. While there, Jadoe struggled with jealousy towards his new friend, as Bristor had a life he was envious of, with a complete education and loving parents. Jadoe also accompanied Skully on a trip to a local Madelinist church, however the experience was traumatic for him and he left Skully at the church to care for a man who had fallen ill outside of it, as an excuse to leave the sacred building.

As it would turn out, the man Jadoe helped was the Prince of Dhabbab, Castor Gould. Because of Castor's terminal illness, he rarely has the chance to leave the castle and his father refuses to allow him into the city, so he sneaks out to experience regular life. After the King of Dhabbab saw Jadoe's deftness in helping his son and handling his medical care, he asked one of his Raynish scholars, Arigne Deco, about him and offered him a deal. He told Jadoe that if he would marry his son and become his protector, he would extend military protection to Raynland's North, at least temporarily ending the conflict there.

## Appearance

Jadoe has a medium height and lithe build. He has many scars on his body and face from AKI, his surgeries, and his time as a prisoner. The scars on his lip, right eye, and right hip are most prominent. Jadoe has medium length black hair and dark brown eyes, which have flecks of green in them from his regular use of toxic caffeinated gases. He usually wears workout material and Lot branded AKI gear, typically in black or bright orange. Because of his distaste for Raynish culture, he often prefers to show off a lot of skin and prefers clothes that have cutouts.

### Comparisons to Patrick

Throughout his life, Jadoe has been acknowledged to greatly resemble Patrick (God), one of the two major gods of Madelinism. Because Patrick is considered to be a common cultural standard for attractiveness, Jadoe is considered exceptionally attractive. As a child, he reveled in the constant comparisons, especially because of how much they helped garner his father's approval. However, as he grew older and more disconnected from Madelinism, Jadoe came to despise the comparison. In Lot, because of the country's athiesm and history of transdeterioration, Patrick is not seen as attractive. Jadoe's physique and features were regularly mocked during his time in Lot specifically because of their resemblance to Patrick. Lot's decision to allow him into situations which altered his appearance through scars and caffeine poisoning were heavily criticized, however Jadoe was secretly glad for them.

Jadoe and Patrick share similar skin tones, hair colors, and eye colors. The two men are similar heights and Patrick's build is described as short and slight, yet muscular, which is similar to Jadoe. The only true visual distinction between them is Jadoe's lack of moles, and eventually, Jadoe's many scars and green eyes.

## Personality

Jadoe has a cold and sometimes even mean-spirited personality, which he's developed as a safety precaution over the years. He is overly blunt and sarcastic and tends to speak as if he looks down on other people. However, Jadoe has a gift for hiding his sharp tongue when he needs to, and can adopt a quiet, inoffensive personality when he needs to impress wealthy investors or stay under the royal family's radar. Despite his coldness, Jadoe is a loyal and caring friend and partner, and is surprisingly kind and timid to those who show him genuine warmth.

Between his upbringing in Raynland and his time in Lot, Jadoe is an intensely hardworking and determined person, who fears failure above all else. He is incredibly hard on himself and very rarely gives up on anything he has decided he will accomplish. Jadoe tends to find people who do not work hard lazy and is open about expressing his discouragement of their behavior, which often makes him enemies.

Jadoe has a complicated relationship with his home country and Madelinism. In many ways, he is bitter towards and even hates Raynland, blaming it for his father's absence and for being the cause of most of the issues in his life. Because he was unable to take part in many essential parts of Raynish culture as a teenager, he dislikes them and acts as though they're beneath him as a way to hide his insecurity about never being able to take part in them. For example, he often expresses his distaste for traditional Raynish tattoos, since he only has a small handful. Jadoe also adopted much of the propaganda he was inundated with while living in Lot, and he chooses to speak with a Lottish accent and wear their colors, even when not competing.
