Jon Eckart
Long-time writer (My Google Stories folder it's a live folder, so stuff gets changed there when I update it), though I might be a little rusty on my D&D and GURPS.

- Appearance
- Somewhat longer, slightly messy hair which is a sandy blonde (usually kept under a baseball hat), usually has a slight five o'clock shadow, tends to dress in whatever's comfortable, always wears a watch and his titanium-framed glasses. Usually carries a crush-proof case for his glasses either in a pants pocket or in his backpack (he can see pretty good without them, just wears them most of the time for reading and the rest of the time to complete his style), tends to like flannel shirts and in general prefers clothes that can get dirty and torn if the situation calls for it.
- Character Background
-
Orphaned at 13 years old, bounced between foster homes until running away to live on the streets of northern California, often sleeping in cars and homeless shelters. Eventually, he went back to school and graduated high school early, and managed to get into college for computer security and criminology, where he was recruited to the Academy.
Usually has a skateboard strapped to his backpack (which he always wears into the Agency), along with his laptop computer and cell phone and at least a pair of Bluetooth ear buds
ACME Badge number: 314269
- Personality
-
Described as loyal, friendly, smart, and energetic by his friends at college and is known to be somewhat standoffish and sarcastic, and can be sneaky (can tend to be a prankster if given the chance, tends to have a slightly warped sense of humor). Not given to violence without a very good reason.
Jon has always been generous since he got off the streets, and would even go out of his way to help other homeless kids he met on the street.
He hates seeing kids in bad situations, and seeing anyone falsely arrested or jailed.
On the anniversary of his parent's deaths, he will always have a drink of a bottle of expensive whiskey in their memory.
Not a huge fan of blood, but does know a fair bit about first aid.
Is a smoker, but infrequently, and can go without for longer than most would think.
- Aspirations
- Has completed his training and has became a full-time detective; hopes to stick with the Agency to retirement
- Medium of Means
-
Computers, lockpicks and a collapsible slimjim, also carries a Gerber multi-tool at pretty much all times on his left hip, along with a mini Mag-Lite (every day carry stuff). Can use firearms (pretty good with handguns, decent with rifles), though prefers not to.
Is cleared to carry everything that could be needed as a Full-Time Detective.
Always has at least one notebook and a handful of pens in his shoulder-pack (which is always carried with him, along with a basic first aid kit).
Would rather talk a situation down before escalating to force, though a chase is not out of the question when it comes to it.

((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.)) -

((So... the latest is that the woman who reported the folks to the police, called the guy who handled the appeal (after we left the room) and told him that if he doesn't make sure to get the folks out of the building, she'd make things difficult for him. The property manager told ma a few days ago, and ma told me today. So, anyone know what that would be called? Coercing, bribery, influence peddling? Would that invalidate the eviction? This is Section 8 housing, so low-income housing. The appeal decision should in theory get here next week or maybe Friday, and they can appeal again, maybe this one would be in real court... don't know. I will advise the folks contact legal aid and see what they say.))

Jon Eckart:
((Correction: the parents are caving, they are planning for the move ON January 1st, without waiting to hear what the appeal decision is, and not willing to fight it. I stormed out of their place tonight (punched the call button for the elevator... they may have heard it), because I know they could win the second appeal hands down (they don't want "more of the stress from all this", they would discuss shit when I went to the bathroom tonight). I reminded them they may not get the entertainment center through the door to the apartment, we probably will have to take the claw legs off the table for the first time ever, but they have their heart set on it. ))

Jon Eckart:
((My right middle finger, behind first knuckle, left a bit of skin on the button... I was that angry. They decided this without talking to me, saying they were "tired of the stress". They're set on a two bedroom apartment ($154 more than the current, at least), it's up to me if I want to move, they said. Once we leave this place (section 8/low-income housing, the waiting list is over 2 years), that's it... the building manager retires later 2025... she pulled a string to get me in here))

Notre Dame Cathedral In paris is going to open its doors in less than ten days woot woot -

((So... my Facebook got password hacked, and the recovery options aren't working. And, over the last two days, haven't slept more than half an hour total, despite my trazodone. Had like 6 beers tonight, have a couple left, will take a full pill tonight, and hope to sleep. And, finished the application for the new place, probably will have to help the folks tomorrow.))

Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.

((So... the folks called me upstairs to help figure out how to get their SSI paperwork to the new landlord... we were discussing it, when the landlord emailed that all three of us are denied... mostly the main thing was "poor rental history; insufficient income (they're on SSI); no credit file; if no judgment was rendered on them after they appealed the initial eviction notice, then they gave their 30 days notice, can they rescind that (this is Minnesota, ya shure, ya betcha) and stay?

Michelangelo wrote a poem about how much he hated painting the Sistine Chapel...One translation of the poem he sent to his friend begins: I’ve already grown a goiter from this torture, hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy(or anywhere else where the stagnant water’s poison).
maybe one of the curators could dress up like him
