PETS:

Jasten is a rather good looking man, who's decently built. Standing at around 6'0" and weighing in at just under 200lbs, he's slightly over the average height. His body isn't hugely muscular, but its kept in good condition thanks to the rather vigorous workout regime he's kept himself in since becoming a hunter. Jasten's face is rather angular and his chin is somewhat pointed, giving him a stern appearance when he isn't smiling. His hair is dark brown, and cut short. Jasten's eyes are also a dark brown, almost the same color as his hair. His facial hair is kept short, and slightly scruffy, usually styled in a goatee.

Jasten is an interesting example of a man. While his chosen career seems like it would be populated by serious, stern men, Jasten has a tendency to be a tad bit more leisurely. His career has given first hand knowledge that life is entirely too short, and can be cut even shorter, so one should live it in a matter most enjoyable. As a result, he tends to be a rather outgoing person. This comes as a surprise often to those few who know who he actually, as even the typical pop-culture representation of a 'Vampire Slayer' is nothing like him.

That said, he's not an idiot. When Jasten is actively working on taking down his chosen prey, he keeps himself professional. His time in the military taught him that to screw around under fire meant death, and throughout his career as a hunter, this knowledge has only gotten more ingrained in his head. He's lost a number of friends to reckless, stupid behavior that could have been avoided had the hunters in question actually kept their cool instead of acting over the top. After all, if soldiers can be killed by desert rats while paying attention, how can the average hunter stand against a supernatural killers when he's not?

BIRTH PLACE: San Francisco, California

Jasten's early life wasn't exactly what one would call normal. Born into a family of vampire hunters, Jasten was raised from the minute he could walk to follow in the footsteps of his parents. When he wasn't in school learning math and science, he was at home learning how to build fires and shoot to kill. For Jasten, this was something he found truly enjoying. In his eyes, he was essentially learning how to be just like those soldiers in the movies, to become famous and save the day. Unfortunately, the more he grew up, the more he understood what exactly his training meant, especially once he started reaching middle school age. Everywhere he looked, he saw kids his age out having fun, playing sports, dating girls, all things that he wasn't able to do with his focus completely on learning how to kill. Being a teenager, those were the things he wanted.

Even worse, he realized that if he ever became a vampire hunter like his parents were training him to be, he would never live a quiet life. He'd be hunted till his death. Jasten couldn't deal with that, and so upon his freshman year of high school, he told his parents enough. He was done learning what they wanted to. He would do what he wanted to.

And so it was. His parents, though disappointed, knew full well that to deny his requests and continue on would eventually cause their son to resent them, something they absolutely did not want to happen. So, they let him do his own thing, watching as he went through his last years of school as a more typical teenage boy, albeit one with excessive survivalist skills compared to his peers. To them, he was wasting his potential, but never once did they try to get him to change his mind. What was done was done, and they wanted their son to be happy. Even when Jasten decided upon graduating, that he wanted to join the military, they stood by him... despite being slightly confused as to why he would do so.

For Jasten, it was about adventure. While seemingly conflicting, as one could assume vampire hunting was 'adventurous,' for Jasten, this wasn't the case. Enlisting in the United States Army with the goal of becoming an Army Ranger, Jasten made his way through training, quickly learning to appreciate the strength of soldiers. Despite having spent his early childhood doing almost nothing other than learning to fight supernatural creatures, military training was completely different. However, in the end, he was able to make it through training in one piece, getting assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment upon
