Axel Emil Jonasen
FACE CLAIM: Til Schweiger
---------------------------------
AGE: 47
GENDER: Male
Sexuality: Grey ace
POSITION: Local, drug dealer
POWER: Premonition. Axel has the ability to sense events before they occur. They come in powerful mental flashes that are most closely described as hallucinations. They are often disjointed with garbled audio and faded colours. Axel's premonitions are always in relation to himself, as he is the most important person to himself. The premonitions occur when Axel is in two states of mind: when he is relaxed and therefore more mentally receptive, or when he is in a dangerous/stressful situation and in survival mode. What seems to cause the premonitions are immediate dangers to his physical wellbeing, for example-- getting into a bar fight, or getting jumped by a drug user who doesn't have money to buy drugs. If Axel were not so self centered, he would be able to have premonitions about loved ones. When he was a younger man, he once had a premonition about his half sister Karoline breaking her arm while biking, but he never recognized it as an actual premonition and spends so much time away from Karoline that he has never had a second occurance of this type of premonition.
LIMITATIONS: The premonitions only happen once or twice every few days, depending on the level of danger Axel is in. If there is something huge about to happen, he will get premonitions about twice a day, daily. If there is nothing concerning going to happen in his immediate future, he can go days without having one. Axel only see two days in advance at the most, but all he can see are brief parts of a day. He cannot see or predict a full day's events. It takes a lot of effort on his part to make sense of what he is seeing. Because of his minimal training with his power, it takes him a fair amount of time to force a premonition. Forcing a premonition means that Axel has to focus really hard on recreating the trance like state he feels when an organic premonition hits him. It usually involves him shutting himself alone in a dark room and clearing his mind. Once he feels "zoned out " enough, his mind hitches and he can force a premonition to happen. But he is mostly accustomed to them happening on their own. Usually Axel will get random, unpredictable flashes of premonition. He doesn't always know when they're going to happen. They aren't always necessarily important pieces of information either. Sometimes he will get premonitions of things as minor as being bumped into at the coffee shop. Additionally, Axel's premonitions only show potential events. The world is constantly shifting as people make and change their minds all the time. There is never a 100% guarantee that what Axel sees will happen. His premonitions show a potential outcome for the future, but nothing is ever set in stone.
SIDE-EFFECTS: This drains Axel mentally and physically. After a premonition, he becomes disoriented and dizzy. If it was really draining, he some times has to vomit. He usually wants a lot of water and food afterwards. It can take him up to half an hour to feel normal again, depending on how vivid the premonition was and how much he tried to force it.
HEIGHT: Five foot nine
HAIR COLOR: Brown
EYE COLOR: Greenish blue
MISC: Axel likes to dress well. He usually wears muted or plain clothes to be as nondescript as possible. Harder to describe to law enforcement.
PERSONALITY: Axel is actually quite laid back. He enjoys confrontation but it takes a lot to rile him up. He speaks softly but with blunt truths. He needs almost constant stimulation- whether that be recreational drugs, drinking, ‘working’, or some sort of hobby. He has a short attention span and needs action to stay interested or else he gets irritated, which then turns into him being irritating. Drug dealing, theft, even some fraud, and countless other crimes, it all keeps his adrenaline pumping and keeps him happy.
He hates being out of control, or feeling like he is. If someone messes with his status of being in charge, he has no problem reasserting his authority. Axel also does ot trust easily. He is very business minded and looks out for himself first and foremost. The only person in the world that he would sacrifice for is his younger half sister, Karoline.
He likes cats more than people. He is usually carrying either a gun or a knife. Yet, besides his violent, rough life, Axel will occasionally take a shine to some people and even forge flimsy friendships. He tends not to invest too much in people, but he will sometimes find himself feeling protective of younger women who remind him of Karoline.
SECRET(S): Axel may have killed a guy. He isn't sure, but there was an incident in Seattle where he beat a young man so badly, he thinks he died. He dumped the body before confirming the death, however, so he is 90% sure that he has killed someone.
He has a softer side. Despite doing poorly in school and dropping out of college, Axel enjoys reading. He doesn't have time for it much, but one of his favourite books is a collection of German poetry that his father gave him shortly after he was arrested.
FATHER: Max Jonasen
MOTHER: Verina Richter
SIBLINGS: Karoline Richter, younger half sister
WORTHY MENTIONS: step father Amery Richter. On bad terms with.
CHILDHOOD: Axel Jonasen’s family originates in Germany. He was born there and lived there until he was twelve years old. His father was then offered an opportunity to teach linguistics overseas at an American university. At the same time, he was in the middle of a messy divorce from his wife. He won custody and took their only child, Axel, with him to the States.
Angry about having his life thrown completely upside down, Axel ignored the opportunities his professor father had laid out for him. He picked fights at school and found it difficult to integrate with his peer group. He didn’t like feeling like an outsider. He worked hard at perfecting and American accent until his German one had faded almost completely. When spoken to by his father in German, he would answer in English, doing a flat American accent the whole time. This caused many fights at home and Axel was eventually put in counselling. Being given a counsellor made Axel resent his father’s actions more. He felt that his dad thought he was broken, or that he was crazy, or something, and the counselling sessions went nowhere. Soon after, Axel's parents agreed to shuttle him between countries to spend half time with each of them.
ADOLESCENCE: Axel's powers began to manifest when he was 13 years old. At first, his mother thought that the mental distress at the premonitions he was having might have been a message from God, but her practical new husband, Axel's step-father, thought he was mentally ill. Axel was meant to be kept in Germany, going through counselling and medication. His father in the US agreed this was for the best because everyone was afraid that he wouldn't be "safe" enough to fly back and forth between countries. However, he was located by a German school. This incited a custody war with his parents again, as Axel's father in the US had been contacted by an American academy.
Axel was once again ping ponging between families and countries, growing more and more frustrated and angry with his family situation. His education suffered from his feelings of turmoil and lack of interest in schooling. He began experimenting with drugs and alcohol (weed dulled his powers and gave him mental relief) and he was soon enamoured with the lifestyle. As he grew into a young man, he dropped out of his schools as soon as possible and settled permanently in the US.
ADULTHOOD: Now estranged from his family, except for his half-sister, Axel moved to Seattle. He clawed his way up through the crime world after starting at the absolute bottom. His gift of premonition served him well, although he always played it off as intuition. He ended up running a fairly large and successful grow-op, until he was busted after a business partner leaked information to the police. But, Axel got lucky and was released on a technicality. Knowing he had to let the Seattle scene cool off if he ever wanted to do business there again, Axel moved away to start all over.
Axel deals any and all drugs. He'll find what you want even if he doesn't have it a the moment. Currently, he is working alone, building his reputation and business up again. He is content to lay low for awhile and live more modestly, but that will not keep him happy for very long. He eventually wants to be running a large scale drug operation once again.
SAMPLE: Brody pulled back and Axel let him. He let go, loosening his grip on the other man completely. He stepped back from Brody, a snarl rising to his lips. What was the point of talking about it? Job security. Personal security. When you got down to it; like really down to it, past all the people Axel genuinely liked and would protect under most circumstances, he only cared about himself. It felt like he was being fucked over. Even if this moment passed and became meaningless in the grand scheme of things, Axel was currently feeling betrayed. How could Brody say whether or not this situation was going to affect the business if he wouldn't fucking talk about it?
Axel's teeth were bared in anger. He was still stoned and not one hundred percent aware of his actions. "The point of talking about it now is to sort out what it means for me," Axel growled, "You can quit and have your little fucking tantrum, I don't care. But do I have to be worried about you running your mouth to the wrong people?" He reached out and grabbed Brody's chin again, the psychological need for control manifesting physically. He jerked Brody's head to make eye contact, to show him that he was serious and very fucking angry.
He had been ratted out once and had almost done hard time for it. A stroke of luck, a lazy cop, and a by-the-book judge let him walk free on a technicality but that brush with the law was as close as he ever wanted to get. Axel ran his business tightly and Brody was now a threat. A tiny pang of regret ran through Axel's mind but he ignored it. As much as he liked Brody, he valued himself more. If Brody could prove that he'd stay loyal despite this split, Axel would be assuaged and content again, but if Brody decided to fuck him around, Axel would retaliate. Brody wasn't dumb, he would know that by now. He ran his thumb over Brody's bottom lip, relaxing the hold he had on his face a little. He was still seething mad at the whole cocked up situation, but he had to chill out before he did something he regretted. But he kept his hand where it was to show Brody that he was in charge and would be answered to.
