Janek

Name
Janek Sunber

Race and Gender
Half elf, Male

Physical Traits
Janek is a little taller than most humans, the likeness to his father, Hector Sunber. his eyes are a deep hazel colour and his hair is long and dark-brown, tied back into his favoured style, a ponytail. His skin is smooth and a little pale. He is very fit, having trained hard to pass the tests required to enter the specialist forces of the Alliance, and is attractive to most people. Janek has a good build and a strong will, able to resist assaults on his mind to some degree, though stronger attacks from more experienced manipulators may render him senseless. Sunber's appearance suggests he is of the age of 17, whereas his actual age is 19. Janek is also resistant to most diseases, mainly because he is so healthy and well-bred. Likewise, Janek can also drink five dwarves under the table at the same time, alchohol just doesnt hinder him in any way. The bad downside to this is that if Janek was to aquire some life-threatening disease which his immune system couldnt handle, any medicine or treatment given would simply be assimilated before it could cure him.

Occupation
-Alliance Commando, Arathor first-and-only, 2nd platoon (volunteer)

-Spy working for SI:7 alongside a human called Yvar

-Street Patrol for The Shylock Blades

Guild
Janek is part of The Shylock Blades; a robin-hood style guild who steal from people to benefit their own causes, whilst also working alongside The Stormwind City Patrol. Janek is a patrol trooper for the Shylocks and quite enjoys his job, as it means he gets to visit generally any part of Stormwind without any required clearance, just because he is on patrol.

Notable Talents
-Active Camorflage: Janek learned how to conceal himself with items taken from his natural surroundings as Thamior, and still maintains all the abilities he learned in his previous life. Only as Janek he uses a cameleoline cloak to hide himself, as well.

-Marksman: Janek is a crack-shot with generally all bullet weapons, having passed strict tests to join the Special Forces when he was Thamior.

-Engineer/Demolitionist: Janek is good with explosive equipment and mechanical devices, and can also construct simple battlefield demolitions and gear for use in harsh environments. May also conduct battlefield repairs if no other mechanic is present. Janek has once been called upon in the Shylock Blades, quite recently to contruct a weapon they could use to great effectiveness, too, and Janek completed this with great precision.

Background
Janek Sunber is a reincarnation of Thamior (see: Thamior, background), at his request, only he remembers nothing of his past life except for small pickets of information he recieves in visions and dreams that he cannot comprehend, or care to comprehend. Janek was born in the Arathi Highlands in a comfortable castle - owned by his family, about 17 years before the attack by the undead. He grew up around the army simply because of his father, Hector, being a general of the Alliance forces. Janek learned many things from the castle guardsmen, including how to hunt and survive in the wilderness. At 12 years old he first shot someone, a thief who had made it past the guards. He didnt made it past Janek who was on his way to the bathroom, still carrying the service pistol his father had given him for hunting - and self defence.

Janek began his actual army training at 12 and a half years old, learning from the grizzled veterans that made up Hector's bodyguard. His father made sure he recieved only the best advice and learning, and called in private tutors and mentors from all over Azeroth, most coming from Stormwind or Ironforge, some making their way from Darnassus - obviously they were getting paid a lot, otherwise they wouldnt have done it - to give Janek the education his father intended him to have.

Most of the tutoring and lessons bored Janek. The only person's lessons he would generally remember was those of the soldiers and captains that he would go out to the foothills with to study tracking, stealth, and combat maneouvering. War excited Janek, and he quickly pursued the path of the warrior, entering the army at only 16 years old - much to Hector's dismay, who wanted him to become a successful officer - and took specialist training to join the commando forces that were sponsored by SI:7, the Arathor 1st, 2nd company.

The first action and blooding Janek saw was when he was thrown in the deep end against the forces of The Horde when they invaded his homeland of Arathi. This was where Janek was promoted to Corporal for his actions in the field, where his quick thinking and reflexes, along with his uncanny way of telling what's about to happen saved his commanding officer more than a few times.

After three years in the Arathor 1st, Janek learned of his father's death, and left in search of his body. Finding nothing in the ruins of Lordaeron, Janek retreated to Stormwind, but was quickly pressed into military service when one of his old war-buddies, Kisun, suggested that he join the Stormwind Intelligence unit, The Shylock Blades. The unit specialised in the hunting and capture of members of The Dark Embrace. Janek, still as Thamior, joined, unable to refuse the opportunity to work for the most respected organisation in the Alliance; SI:7.

It was around a month after joining that Thamior came into contact with Fedra and helped her to escape from their grasp. Fedra was, as you might imagine, from The Dark Embrace, but there was something about her that Thamior liked...

Thamior was killed later on personally by Kisun, for treason, apparently. It was while he was escorting Fedra to The Mage Quarter, but in the tunnel between the Cathedral canal and The Trade District, Kisun found them. When Thamior stopped him from killing Fedra, Kisun shot him in the head with a pistol.

Thamior's arrogant personality was easily changed with his newbody. Janek is very popular with most who meet him, as he can shed light or happiness on most situations and is usually cheerful. In contrast, Thamior often acted as if he didnt have the time of day for anyone, only being nice to his friends. For some time, the new Janek had been learning a small flute and had become very good at it. He liked to play it, too. It calmed him and the others around him down a bit in tense situations.

When his new body reached Stormwind, Janek felt a strange attraction towards the guild called The Shylock Blades. He joined up and settled in really well from day one, apart from a small argument with the gnome caled Merwyn. However, they quickly made up and realised that the bickering was pointless, especially in a group where teamwork is essential. Janek's talents were also realised, and he became Kisun's personal aide and also a scout for the Shylocks.

Recent Events
(10/3/07) Janek was promoted in The Shylock Blades for luring and assisting in the capture a member of The Dark Embrace called Zeleen. This involved Janek using the excuse of a party to attract Zeleen out of the bar in Goldshire all the way to The Park Inn, Stormwind City, and down into the cellar where Merwyn, one of Janek's friends and guildmates, was waiting for her. There was a following struggle in which Merwyn and Janek came out on top with Zeleen propped against the wall, Merwyn scanning her mind. Unfortunately Merwyn found nothing of great use but nevertheless promoted Janek for an impressive display of his charismatic side.

Family Background
Janek's father, Hector Sunber, was a general in the Alliance armed forces (see: Thamior, Family Background). He married a high priestess of Elune, called Galanodel Liadon. Because Hector was a human, and Galanodel was an elf, literally all of Janek's generation in his family are Half-Elf, apart from Jenesta, who is a pure-blooded human.

Janek's father grew up in the Navy, as an indentured deckhand. However, his heroism in several naval battles saw him freed from slavery and he became a marine in the navy. During the second war, Hector rose through the ranks swiftly and was trusted with the guidance of some of the navy's forces on more and more battlefronts.

Criminal Record
Janek has just come back from the dead, and thus has no criminal record as of yet...

Personal Information
-Janek always carries a Repeater X-57 Matchlock pistol (six shots) with him wherever he goes. A gift from his father, he cherishes it and will often be very protective of it when people look at it. The gun has been customised by a gnome friend of his called Felix Gyrogear. The pistol has a small catseye laser sight built into it, with an upgraded trigger, and a decorated butt on the handle of the pistol for close-combat situations, where Janek can flip the pistol over and use the barrel as a handle and the butt as a club.

-Janek will most likely be mistaken as a human, but he doesnt mind. He prefers it if the Scarlets dont know he has any elven heritage because his patrols often lead him to be hanging around in the cathedral for any rioters. The key points that might give him away is his wide, hazel eyes, his pointed ears (when he isnt wearing a headband), and his pale skin.

-Janek speaks with an accent that sounds like the british voices of the EU soldiers in Battlefield 2142 (for those who dont have the game, lets just say he sounds like a World War 2 british soldier without the cockney slang or stupid "tally ho" phrases) and his voice is happy and casual most of the time. If Janek is having an argment with someone, or is angry with them, his tone would be mocking and playful, only if the situation goes out of hand will Janek's agressive side take over and he will become cold and harsh.

-Janek also carries a small flute-like instrument with him wherever he goes, which he plays for Kisun, his commanding officer, and sometimes the other soldiers in the Shylocks, to keep up morale or just to spread some happiness. Janek is good with this instrument but wont brag about it, although he isnt afraid to show he is good at it if someone challenged him. He just takes such remarks as comments and plays well to prove how foolish the person was for ever doubting him.

Current Status
Janek Sunber can be found patrolling the streets of Stormwind when he is on duty. When he isnt on duty, he would be secretly talking to Origana or Fedra, his friends, or spending time in The Shylocks' hangout, The Blue Recluse.

Need-to-know Information
Of his past life, Janek only has the abilities he learned as Thamior, hence all the commando and demolitions abilites. Everything else has been forgotten, aside from his own family, but only on the Sunbers' side. Janek knows nothing of Vadania or Galanodel. The new Janek is almost completely different to his old self, Thamior.
