Background:

J'hon Roak was born in the tiny backwater town of Denkirk, Bajor. Born during the Cardassian Occupation, J'hon was taught by his family to passionately hate their oppressors. His parents, Kyell and Melia Roak, were influential merchants, but heavily involved in the Bajoran Resistance. Eventually, a Bajoran traitor revealed their involvement, leading to their swift and brutal deaths. J'hon, at the age of twelve, witnessed their summary executions, an event that would forever influence his life.

J'hon later joined a local guerilla faction called the Bajoran Defense Force. He became an accomplished assassin and sniper, nicknamed "the Denkirk Devil." He was eventually captured and subsequently tortured for over a year by the Cardassians, who weren't satisfied with simply executing this infamous Bajoran. J'hon still bears the emotional and physical scars from this ordeal. His Cardassian captors used a branding iron, shaped like the Cardassian crest, to scar virtually every square inch of his torso. His back is scarred with whip marks and a long, ugly scar runs down the side of his face. He refuses to have cosmetic surgery, preferring to leave his scars as a badge of honor. Additionally, both of his triggerfingers were severed by the Cardassians. Since then, he has had cloned replacements surgically grafted.
J'hon eventually escaped imprisonment, killing the prison camp warden with a homemade shiv. After the war, J'hon joined the Starfleet Marine Corp as part of a cooperative defense intiative, and was granted the rank of Lieutenant-Major. He served with distinction for the past several years, until a recent Court Martial involving a violation of the Prime Directive.

He was busted down to Lieutenant and assigned to the USS Grail.


Personality Profile:
In many ways, J'hon is a paradox. Extremely patient, but also hot-tempered. Deeply spiritual, but a calculated killer. Often disobediant, but intensely loyal.


He has a deeply-entrenched belief system and a strong moral center. Not only does he have strong opinions, but is also vocal about them. The upside to this openness is the fact he never has a hidden agenda. He is generally very patient and thoughtful, but quick to anger when he sees a perceived injustice. He could be described as the advocate of the weak.
J'hon suffers from a severe case of pyrophobia, developed during his imprisonment. He has undergone extensive psychological rehabilitation, but still has an intense fear of open flames, which occasionally result in painful flashbacks.


Special Notes:
Due to the mental conditioning he developed during his imprisonment, J'hon is extremely adept at concealing his thoughts from empaths or telepaths. Additionally, he can retreat into a meditative trance that slows his metabolism and dramatically increases his resistance to pain.
