B A S I C I N F O

Name: Jonathan Hirsch
Nickname/Alias: Jon Doe
    Jon's surname, Hirsch, means deer in German. Coupled with the fact that his body was temporarily unidentified when found, he turned "John Doe" into his alias, Jon Doe, in a particularly dark moment of his humor. Jon even introduced himself to strangers with this name, and he liked it because it distanced him from his family even more.
Age: 20
Birth date: G117 July 22th
Weight: 67kg / 147lbs
Height: 165cm / 5'5
    Jon is of sturdy, dense build. He has broad shoulders and quite stocky muscles - which make him more heavy, as well as almost brutishly strong - but he isn't on the tall side. He holds onto the hope that he's still growing, and drinks a lot of milk.
Gender: Male
Occupation: B.Hunter

[W E A P O N] Butterfly net
    Specifications: The rod is made of steel and is nearly 180cm (6') long. The hoop's diameter is 60cm (2'). The net itself is over 210cm (7') long.
    Mechanics: The net can be tightened like a drawstring bag using the reel attached to the rod. The netting is made of fishing line; with enough reeling strength, there is the chance of dicing whoever is trapped in the net into pieces. It's not an effective method

P E R S O N A L

Personality:

    Jonathan is ultimately insecure about being a failure. He tends to expect the worst just so he won't let his hopes up about anything, and he doesn't want anyone to expect much from him in fear of failing them afterwards. He automatically assumes inferiority to most everyone, and doesn't try to do his best because he believes it'll end up the same anyway. He doesn't consider this negative and will truthfully explain to you exactly why he thinks so about himself.

    Jon isn't reserved; he likes to have friends and make friends. He just isn't good at doing that. Usually he ends up making weird jokes that people would laugh out of politeness. He doesn't get less awkward even when he's gotten closer to someone, but he grows affectionate and loyal. He doesn't mind lending an ear and giving advice whenever he can, and he keeps your secrets like his life depends on it.

    Or he forgets them. Jon forgets a lot of things, is easily distracted, and has the messiest bedroom you can imagine. He constantly panics over losing important documents only to have them show up hours later somewhere in his living space. This extends from his lifestyle to even his fighting style.

Likes: nature, gardening, insects, quietness, the tune of À vous dirai-je maman, fizzy drinks, woolen socks
Part of the reason why Jon loves gardening is because the sounds of gardening mostly don't have any taste, and if they do they are mellow. Besides, there aren't that many sounds involved when tending to plants, anyway.

Dislikes: children, traffic jams, crowds, spotlights, complete solitude, salty food, coffee

History: Child abuse | Self-harm | Suicide

"D flat tastes like curdled milk, and B tastes like weeks old pasta. That's just on the piano, though."

    Jon grew up in a professionally musical family. His parents were Austrians, both from Salzburg, but came to the US soon after their marriage. His father was a pianist, his mother a violinist, and together they had six children - Jonathan being the fifth - which they intend to train into their own sextet. They were very strict and demanding, but never abusive to any of their children.

    Except to Jonathan. Jon had sound-gustatory synesthesia, meaning that sounds trigger tastes in his mouth. If it were all ice cream (A sharp on the flute) and peanut butter (the scratch of pencil on paper), it wouldn't have been a problem, but there were unfortunately many sounds of the strings that tasted like sick, rotten fruit, and other tastes that made Jon nauseous.

    Jon was otherwise a diligent learner - he was assigned the cello - and had perfect pitch thanks to the association between sounds and tastes. For this reason, his parents didn't believe him when he described his condition and were convinced he was giving excuses to be lazy. As he struggled more and more with his instrument, he was subjected to punishments such as having his meal taken away or being locked in the attic of their house.

"Sorry, er, can you say that again? My hearing aid was off."

Jon himself never knew what synesthesia was. He told himself he was imagining it, and even believed he was lying to skip rehearsals. But the bad tastes were unbearable, and at one point, during one of his lock-up punishment, he stabbed a pencil into his left ear and damaged the ear drum. From there on his parents stopped locking him up in fear that he'd ruin his other ear.

When Jonathan was 17, the Hirsch succeeded in organizing a small concert in another state. While performing Papillons by Schumann, anxiety coupled with the building nausea from the many unwelcome tastes caused Jon to throw up in the middle of the performance. Both ashamed and terrified, Jon ran away from the local conservatory and into the adjacent woodlands. He wandered for a few Gaps looking for poisonous plants and found monkshood, which he ate.

It was when Jon woke up in a morgue as a Survivor, did he know it'd been Midnight when he poisoned himself. He sought out the Nights and begged to be recruited, as well as to be sent somewhere far away. He became a Hunter and was assigned to Austria, his distant homeland. His childhood had left an impact on him, and his sound-gustatory synesthesia still presented a problem in daily life, but Jon was more alive now than he ever was.

"I'll try my best, but... but don't expect much from me."
