Biography
Introduction
Almost no one knew the real name of Jericho, nor his surname. His entire history is actually a mystery and actually the only one who could reveal it is Jericho himself due to his condition of being outside the timeline, in fact, all his life was erased from history during the accident with the time machine and he actually was never born and nothing of what he achived in his old life ever happened... only his memories still have those event clear.
The portion of life that could be discovered, even if require hard diligence, it's the life he spent from the day when he appeared back in time after the accident.
This is that story.
Year One
Jericho appeared for the first time as the immortal one that is now knew, the 5 february of 1908, in Belgium. He was exactly looking like he looks today: around 30 years old, shaved and with an urban hair cut. From the 1908 to the 1912 he tried to understand the limit of his knew power: immortality.
The Lonely Man
The Platinum Guardians
Powers and Skills
Jericho is immortal. He gained a particular resurrective immortality that cannot be eluded in any way when the time machine got him back in time but with a major accident that erased him from the timeline: Jericho do not exist in time, only in space. He do not exist in history and he is basically a living time paradox.
The explanation given by the most able science and mage of the known world is this one: since nothing can be created or distroyed but everithing simply transform from a state to another, and since entropy is the effect of time over the matter (and we all know that matter equals Energy) then every time something or someone try to force a transformation of the matter and energy of Jericho, this one is rejected from time itself and he re-appear istantly in place (or sometimes randomly almost everywhere in the entire universe)exactly looking like when he was transferred back in time right after the time travel accident.
So, even if he do not posses superstrenght or superspeed or such, he can often do in solo many things others can't.
Physical Skills
Jericho have been trained in many form of fighting from the many employers he worked for during the many decades of his long life: he is trained in many different martial arts (even if he didn't mastered none of them due to his low attraction to them), holimpic archery skills, spec ops train in fireweapons with almost 80 years of specializations in guns, he is trained in survival, extreme climbing and many other kind of useful extreme sports. He once was quiet good with swords but long time since his last fight with those weapons.
There are other physical skills he is quiet good at that are unkown.
Psycological Skills
Most people don't know that his actual QI is 204... however, as many well know, QI tests are not really trustable, after all, there are 9 different types of intelligence (logic-mathematic, music-artistic, etc.): Jericho has been resulted a genius in intra-interpersonal intelligence and in existential intelligence.
This amazing ability is perhaps fruit of his long life but the fact is he is very able in understanding others, find a way to be loved-liked and discover everything about people... these ability along the train with great mind control over his emotions and the incredible way he can perfectly act under cover made of him a real wonderfull spy for a very long time.
Due to his long life he had achieved multiple graduation in many different subjects, however the only knew are: criminology, psychology, physical therapy and law.
Equipment
Jericho rely on a multitude of gadgets and weapons depending on the mission he have to fulfill, but some are evergreen:
Pistols
Has a lot of different guns but among these his favorites are the following: B67Mod-HCP Gatling 45HCP, Walther PPK 7.65 Browning, Walther P38 9mm Parabellum, Xuan-Ga556 Gadroon and a pair of silenced FN Five-seveN 5.7mm.
Armor
Jericho posses 4 different armors, from the most light and useful for Street or suburban encounters to a real heavy plated Power Armor used for War-like scenarios. The detail above these armors are mostly secret, while the most common kevlar and SWAT-like suit or the Longshot suit are simply reinforced suit with light carbonium plates to ease melee fights or to carry more rounds for his fireweapons... and of course to carry the devices he need.
Devices
Jericho don't have invisibility or supersenses, so he must use tech to achieve his goals: small commlinks, tracking rounds, gas grenades, jet boots... all are good if needed. He don't have a preferred device or something he -must- have every time, his bag is always filled with what he needs for the task at hand, no more, no less.
Weakness
Jericho is a normal human despite his immortality... he do not have superstrenght, extreme agility or anything like that. He do is an amazing fighter and a really skilled soldier and spy, but he do suffer a blow in the guts just like everyone else.
He can be tricked by magic and if multiple psychic attack (or a powerfull one)attempt to control him he will not be able to resist.
Physical
He is trained in taking blows and nevermind pain but, when the adversary is superhuman, the limitation of a "normal" body is the most troubling problem he have to face... he usually attempt to "kill himself" if he is suffering too much, this way he will be pop up again at his best BUT the risk that respawn will bring him far away instead that in place is what hold himself when the task is really important.
Psycological
Jericho suffer of two main psycological weakness:
1)He do have a thing for pretty (especially if in trouble) girls, he can be took out of the question or distracted from a pair of beatifull eyes.
2)He carry a heavy guilt complex on his "siter" Andrea and the many victims on his hands nack from when he was a villain... even if, due to the time paradox, he actually didn't killed anyone for real in this timeline, he does remember pretty well and suffer for his actions.

Tropes
Appearance
- Badass in a Nice Suit - Jericho ALWAYS dress impeccably. Sure, he sneak in a VIPER bunker and run away from an explosion or fight against Ripper, but always dressing a Saville Row or Armani's suit. Even under the Power Armor he always dress his suit. (only from time to time he dress casual, mostly for mission under cover).
- Hollywood Action Hero - Jerry is an ex military of the USA army, a current UNTIL Spec Ops one and a Secret Agent (Spy), he have a badass cocky mood of doing things that bring others to compare him to James Bond or any other kind of Hollywood's Action Movie Hero.
- Handsome Devil - Jericho is well aware of being quiet sexy, he lost count of the partners he had and, for sure, he will not give a damn if you hate him... he only consider girl's opion afterall.
Personality
- The Casanova - He had an insane number of partners and even more "one-night-only" adventures; girls are his kryptonite and he can loose focus or get far away from the mission's goal for a pretty face.
- Pure Awesomeness - There are tons of heroes who could beat Jericho in few seconds, but he have something: in the way he act, in the way he talk, in the way he do everithing... people's last impression tend to be always about him, even when he loose. It's the classic charming guy that the girls loves and the boys wish to be like.
- Magnificent Bastard - Jericho is a real smart-ass, his mouth run faster than everyone's else and he shoot always on open wounds, telling jokes that taste like acid and poisoning the ears of his listener. A real bastard, a real son of a gun.
Morality and Philosophy
- Hardboiled Detective - Due to his long life and his job he have seen some of the most dirt things of our world: alcohol and cigarets are his way to vent the stress of the knowledge he have, while his cynism is a way to hang on with his well hidden hope of a better future for mankind.
- Hidden Heart of Gold - While he always act cocky and bastard, he is instead a real dreamer and a gold-hearted person... only those very close to him knew that, thou. With his job, afterall, he have to keep his epic poker face in order to look like if he is untochable by things.
- Who Wants to Live Forever - Jericho never asked for immortality, it came to him. Sure, for the first couple of decades it felt awesome, but after the death of the ones he loved, the cool of it ended. Jerry wish to die, he really does, and all he can is to hide the sadness and enjoy the beatifull things that life have to offer.
Combat and Skills
- Gun Fu - Jericho is very skilled with many fire weapons, but guns and knifes are his best choice due to his being a spy: guns can be hidden well and could easily kill if used well. Since he trained in various martial arts style thanks to his long life he mixed his martial knowledge with his weapons skills mastering the art of Gun Fu.
- Badass - "It dosen't matter what you do, the only important thing is that you look cool while doing it" this is the playfully motto of Jericho, but even if people joke of him for this reason he actually use this silly thing as a powerfull advantage: the one who knew him overestimate him due to this; they think that Jerry is far more stronger and capable of what he truly is.
- Stealth Expert - Jericho is not a meta human and he don't have super attributes or powers (despite his immortality), so he rely on stealth for the most of his actions: his train granted him a wonderfull ability in moving unseen, especially in the middle of a large fight or going unnoticed in a crowd, slowly arriving to his target to get the job done for good.
Quirks
- Immortality Hurts - Not many experience the feeling of dying... Jericho experience it quiet every day: he have been shooted to death, burned alive, buried, hanged, decapitated, tortured and poisoned... he have died drowing, falling from really high places, for explosions, acid, diseases, radiations effects... even if now he have a really high pain tollerance is not nice to die... it hurt a lot.
- Bond one liner - For sure is not a thing to be proud of, but Jericho always shot a cocky line before (but mostly after) taking down his target: the villain is dead or knocked up? Jericho will shot it, always (especially if girls are around him).
- Tuxedo Reveal - Jumping out from the power armor or even by wearing of his clochard disguise, Jericho almost always show to wear a tux or a suit under his disguise or armor... if asked "why?" he just reply "'cause i have style".
Background and Events
- Ret Gone - The day of the time travel accident brought Jericho in 1908 but, as a side effect, he had been erased from history. He never born, nobody ever met him, nothing of his life before the time travel ever happened or ever will.
- Reformed Criminal - The reason of the time travel was, in the first place, to come back and to adjust all the mistakes and all the suffer Jericho caused when he was a villain... that comprehension came when, in the future from where Jericho came, an entity of pure energy (as he remember her) healed him from the curse of vampirism and opened his eyes on his sins.
- Turned in a Vampire - During his hero days as Longshot, a Vampire Villain choose to punish him and to use him at the same time: he turned Jericho in a vampire. Shortly after, he became a villain... and he had been a monster, guilt of horrible crimes, for a real long time.
Character and Motivation
- All i want... is love - Jericho had been used from all the ones who told him that they loved him... used OR abandoned. All he always wished for was to find someone that loved him, for who he was, and that in the end didn't left him alone for someone else or for other reasons.
Possession
- Power Armor - A real long life and a villain past actually gave a lot of knowledge and Jericho found himself with the needing of some way to handle superhuman heroes and villain in hand to hand... actually, he own 4 different power armors, not that with them he become outstanding, but they do help a lot against stronger enemies.
- Big Fancy Castle - Just one person know that, but Jericho own a huge, wonderfull castle in Switzerland... on the mountain in front of his birthplace.
- Rich Boredom - Ok, Jericho is rich. How rich? none could say... he is quiet sneaky about that and he keep telling "oh no, there are a lot of people more rich than me".. but then he keep spend money without the lightest problem... nobody knows the details about his possessions.

He left that life, finally.
