HISTORY OF CHARACTER: Grew up in a small tribal village located in California. Youngest of three children, mother was a Boomer who had left Nellis AFB in search of adventure, and father a local of the village who had served as an NCR trooper and ranger. The village itself had been annexed by NCR, resulting in most of the traditions and culture being lost. As time passed the town began to succumb to poverty and chem abuse, so as soon as they were able, J's older siblings had left in search of better lives.

On his 16th birthday his parents had a large knife crafted for him, and he would soon cherish it. When he was 18 J decided to enlist as his father had done before him. Celebration was to be held but, due to heated arguments regarding the state of the town and its inhabitants, he left early. Leaving behind his old birthday gift, and his broken home.

J had served the NCR military for several years before learning, from letters sent by his parents, that someone had been harassing the village. On leave J returned home to find it in even greater ruin than when he had left. He had hoped to aid his friends and family in rehabilitating the town and defending it from the offenders, but he would fail to do so. He could barely convince them to help themselves, and the hostile force would prove too great a threat. The village was soon overwhelmed, leaving the denizens either dead or scattered.

J and several others were taken alive. He was beaten, branded with his own burned dog-tags, and forced to watch as they systematically murdered his loved ones and neighbours. Witnessing them gun down his mother, J flew into a psychotic rage, breaking free from his bonds and brutally killing each of the men while sustaining heavy injury. After his anger had left him, he found his mother mortally wounded. Giving him a key, her last words to him were "open the safe" and "find your father". She died in his arms, and he would too succumb to his injuries if not for a caravan that regularly traded with the village finding and him nursing him back to health.

He would return to his family home and open their safe. The contents, he found, were his father's revolver, mother's Pip-boy, and his 16th birthday present. On the body of one of the mercenaries, documents were discovered. The decaying state of the village as well as the mercenary invasion were staged by a wealthy baron and corrupt politicians who wanted to acquire the land and profit from it. J left his broken home once again, a broken man. Eventually, he would join the Great Kahns...

J endured the brutal initiations of the Great Kahns and received his beat-down and naming. He befriended some of them, while loathing the others. He was also somewhat disgusted by some of their methods, and toleration of degenerate behavior. Remembering his true goal, he left the Great Kahns and continued his journey. He adopted the moniker "J", the first letter of his given first name, and abandoned his old identity almost entirely.

FAMILY: Marylyn (mother)-deceased, Joseph Mills (father), Madelyn (eldest sister), Jordan (elder brother)-status of the three unknown. Samuel Irons (close friend).

PERSONALITY: Normally very quiet and calm, but prone to violent rage and loud outbursts that can become quite extreme. Humble and empathetic towards others, J tries to uphold values of kindness and compassion, and abstain from violence whenever possible but he understands that violence is quite often necessary to survive. However, when stressed enough the man couldn't care less. Because of his experience with the world, J has adopted a somewhat dark and cynical perspective that he may not always express, but it is certainly there. When with company whom he feels comfortable with, he'll let show a side of himself that is much more playful and humorous.
