-Personality: Jarvis on the outside seems to be the average man, just a
little more at ease. However, in truth, he faces many demons stemming
from his Uncle molesting him as a child. He has reoccurring nightmares,
is schizophrenic, and has a general paranoia of all those around him. His
other personalities do not usually show unless Jarvis is under extreme
stress. When his other sides do manifest themselves, they act much
friendlier, nicer, and trusting than Jarvis does. They however are very
violent, and act like Jarvis' uncle.
-Background and History: As a child Jarvis had a normal life, up until he
was 10. At that time his parents went on a second honeymoon, leaving him
in the care of his uncle. His brother was going to take care of the
housework, and his sister. Jarvis' uncle was a respected and well-liked
member of Shevat society. Jarvis' uncle seemed to be a nice, generous,
funny person. He however had a darker side, which he hid from others. He
enjoyed rape, child molestation, and other sex crimes. This of course led
to Jarvis' being molested when spending time with his uncle.  
        When Jarvis' parents returned he hid the truth from them, but soon
Jarvis began to become violent for no apparent reason. Before long,
Jarvis was becoming uncontrollable. He was going to fits of rage all the
time, especially when people touched him. When confronted Jarvis had
worked himself up to a point where he believed himself ready to take on
anyone. He accused his uncle of all the crimes that had been committed.
His parents dismissed his accusation as a lie to save himself from
trouble. They knew that if it got out it would tarnish Jarvis' uncle's
reputation. Therefore, they asked him for advice, and Jarvis' uncle
instructed them to take him to an institution where he could get help.
        The advice was heeded, and Jarvis was sent off to an institution at the
age of 12, he stayed there until the age of 15. He was released once he
admitted that he had lied, and when he seemed to be sane again. Though he
was pronounced normal, he himself never felt normal. He had nursed his
anger, and had formed a paranoia of all those around him. He did not
spend much time with his parents, and old friends. Instead, he worked on
gears, which he believed were trustworthy. As time went on Jarvis
discovered he had a flare for the kind of work he was doing. He studied
gears and gear psychics at a small college like factory in Shevat.
        At the age of 21, he had graduated, and set up shop where he began to
service gears. His life became increasingly normal and he began to trust
others again. He might have become a normal person, happy with his life
if it had not been for his brother who had been reported dead 4 years
before.
        His brother Cecil just appeared one day, wanting a very advanced gear to
be serviced. Jarvis did what his brother wanted, and then queried him
about his identity, expecting that he was just find it was a look alike.
Cecil however told him that he was his brother, and that he had faked his
death so he could become an operative in Solaris. Jarvis was surprised,
and became very curious. Jarvis was happy to see his brother, but in the
back of his mind knew that Cecil wouldn't return without a reason. When
he asked Cecil told him the truth.
        Cecil had never been good with gears, and he wanted to do his brother a
favor. He explained that new gear models were being made, and that Shevat
needed someone to inspect the new designs and report on them. Jarvis
refused and then was taken against his will by his brother. When Jarvis
woke up, he found he was in route to Solaris with new clothes, and tools.
He realized that the only way he could live was if his brother took him
away from Solaris when he finished the mission. He then began to assume
the identity that was in a letter he found in his pocket from his
brother.  He then began to work on the gears.
        Reluctantly he waited for his brother to contact him, in which time
Jarvis spent time fixing and familiarizing himself with Solaris Gears.
Finally after months of waiting he was contacted. A new gear was being
set off by Solaris. All Jarvis had to do was look at it, and then report
in detail what the gear strengths and weaknesses were. In addition, he
would implant a small bomb in the leg joint.
        Jarvis had an adventure of a sort, getting to the gear. He then spent a
tranquil time working on the gear, and implanting the bomb. He then was
"rescued" by his brother and brought to Solaris at the age of 23. When he
returned he found out that his shop, house, and belongings had been sold.
Next, he found out that Shevat authorities were looking for him because
of tax evasion, and a fraud. It had turned out that his brother had hoped
Jarvis would want to continue to work as an operative. He had neglected
the loose ends of Jarvis' life, which caused the authorities to chase him
when he returned. Jarvis was apprehended and when questioned he broke
down and told the truth. When he finished, they suspected him of
relapsing into his former insanity. They then deiced to put him back in
the institution again.  
        He was released again at 25, but when he came to see who was picking him
up, he was horrified to find Cecil waiting. He was again taken to Solaris
with a mission involving a gear. This time however, he would have to also
take the gear with him. He again reluctantly did the mission, but had
planned to escape from Solaris, and Shevat. He would become a regular
surface dweller and would sell the gear. He had escaped Solaris using his
brother's plan, but then traveled to Aveh. He watched the battles, and
had just decided to travel to Nisan and then sell the gear. He had just
mounted the gear and had started it up when the ship attacked. He tried
to escape, but was shot down quickly. 
        He then woke up in the wreckage of his gear in a strange wood.
