Always dress depending on occasion. If there was a formal occasion or he wanted to go to the club he would of course dress for the part. A nice shirt, some slacks, maybe a fedora if he were in the mood. Be it a casual thing, like going to the beach or going out to hangout with some friends, whatever he could find laying around. While on the job he wears a mask hiding his face from the nose down while wearing a very nice black and white suit, of course doing his being to keep it clean and professional as best he can. But with the current situation either wears his hitman suit or rags to blend in with the crowd around him. But much like his father he usually has a stern look on his face when he’s alone or when he is thinking to himself even when he is probably thinking of something that makes him happy. He has light brown hair, short hair, that is either shaggy down while wearing a hat or spikes it up with gel. But with gel being hard to come by he has a spiky look with just water but when his hair dries is poofy.
Jericho stands at six feet and an inch, weighing at one hundred and ninety-five pounds. He is athletically build due to his martial arts training, lean but muscular arms with six pack abs complimented with strong legs, his body exceptionally evened out. Although it is hardly noticeable his right leg his slightly bigger than his left, again it‘s so hardly noticeable that he doesn‘t notices it. Has a soft skin with a slight tan going on with a decent looking face to boot, chiseled chin, button nose, the works. His body language speaks in two ways. In one way he stand tall revealing his true height, and his back straight showing off his broad shoulders, looking like as it he has good and high confidence. In the other he slouches his body looking lazy or bored making himself look small and shorter than he really is.
To the general public, notable people, and to even his own gang. Jericho is a very professional person with a very cold persona. He usually has a stern look on his face to make a person consider him very intimidating or even scary. It doesn't help that the man has a near emotionless demeanor to him. He is a honest person but that isn’t exactly a good thing. He says what he bluntly feels about a person if they ask him and most of the time it isn't really good. With the majority of people, from a personal stand point, he finds them to be either fake or dumb. Whatever the initial impression made to be, it most likely is bad to him. Still he knows when to keep his opinions to himself, it is only when asked he would bluntly tell. However, that is a very rare case due to his hardened exterior.
Despite the way he speaks or acts, Jericho isn't arrogant in any manner nor is he by any means modest. He merely knows his limitations and weaknesses but still is able to work around them. A reason why he holds the position is because his tactical mind and his ability to remain calm in life-threatening or serious situations. Though very cautious, he isn't slow on making up his mind after receiving advisement he can make a quick and decisive choice on how to handle matter. But there is two sides to a coin he doesn't lead with an iron fist or fear. It is surprisingly enough the opposite, he has a caring side to those apart of his gang. Members he is close to instead of calling them by actual rank, he would refer them as a minion or a nickname which he will only use in private so it wouldn't demean the rank.
Aside the fact that he does indeed have a nice side to him. One shouldn't forget he can be incredibly cruel and would do anything crush anyone that stands against him and his ambitions. He wouldn't give a second though about killing a foe. Torturing enemies can become a game to him, if they hold information that he needs. The same treatment goes to those who make the gang look weak, those who pretend to be in the gang without being initiated in, and of course those who fail him. Even he is fairly open-minded, he believes in honor and loyalty those that can't even up hold that, in his eyes, deserve to be punished. Lower gang punishments, to him, are like father having to a child. It is not a joy to hurt but has to be done to keep them disciplined and orderly.

Shielding and Strength
First and foremost, Jericho is rendered with invulnerability to most forms of attacks. Think of his invulnerability as a shield; an invisible and resilient barrier that envelops all of his outside physical self. Potentially damaging attacks are seen as a light pinch if anything all and usually have no effect, blows that would cripple or kill a regular person are perceived as gentle as if he were smacked with a pillow. His "shield" also protects him from forms of kinetic energy like kicking, punching, energy blasts, various degrees of heat and cold, as well as telepathy (mind reading). While he is invulnerable he cannot be sliced, stabbed, shot, or otherwise harmed by direct outward and physical means. He can survive just about anything this world hurls at him, besides maybe of a nuclear bomb, that has yet to be detest and rather not try. This shield, while it more often than not encompasses him and keeps from accumulating harm, is not an something he can control. On several occasions it has been known to go down after sustaining multiple severe traumas.
To complement his resiliency, Jericho has calculated super-human strength. The man can lift, throw, or destroy even the heaviest objects with relative ease. The very definition of “super” strength rather than “enhanced” means that she can easily lift over a thousand pounds. The man has yet to meet an obstacle he cannot smash, bash, or otherwise pound into tiny little pieces. While his invulnerability might not be the most reliable of his powers, his super strength is always there.
Jericho's tank-like ability is, as mentioned, somewhat limited. Though He can will it up at anytime, only his external physical self is guarded, as his near invulnerability does not extend to attacks that are somehow directed from the inside out. He is in no way protected from ingested poisons, or inhaled toxins. There can be happen cases in certain instances of heavy trauma that will damage his internal organs. He is no master of physics, so he cannot rightly judge what actions will cause inner harm, so he does tend to be the chief reason as to why he does not throw himself in front of planes or trains for the hell of it or pull off some equally inane feat. The shield has a time limit of five minutes and it takes a full day for him to recharge before he can use it again.
The man is exceptionally vulnerable to cold-based attacks. While he can endure the blizzards of ice that comes from Ice-users, but only for so long just about a few seconds to a minute of non-stop intense cold will be able to break his shielding and that's on a good day. Intense heat, however, does not have a similar effect due to him growing a area near a volcano that radiated intense heat and humidity all year around. He cannot take a leisurely swim in magma whenever he wants to, but he can tolerate high temperatures in the warmest clothes imaginable and be just fine.

★ Backstory
▪ Birth to 5 years: Jericho was the born on Halloween night. He was the first born child to Jin and Rachel, where he was raised lovingly by his parents. Although he was quite the active child and in order to quell his energy, they put him into martial arts by the age of five. Jericho quickly took a liking to it and lived happily with is family.
Age 6-10: In school he wasn't exactly the most popular student in school. He was often picked on my his fellow students, but believing in the creed of the martial arts, he refused to do anything to any of them. But instead keep a level head and focus on his studies. Jericho continued his studies in the martial arts and found that he was naturally talented in it, taking winning state in his division at the age of 10. But became close friends with other fighters by the name of Kojiro, Yuki, and Lily.
Age 11-13: Being in the same school with the kids who bullied him for the majority of his school career began to take it’s toll on him, but for the sake of his younger siblings, he does everything to hold back his anger and grief and allows it to build and funnels it through his martial arts. Jericho grows wary for plain karate tournaments and steps up it by joining other dojos with other styles of training. He trains in harder styles such as Muay Thai and Brazilian jiujutsu. Already he know the significant difference between the other arts and wants to learn more and sees if can take it out to the streets.
Age 14-16: Now in high school in the top of his class and at the age of 14, he continues to be bullied and gets sick of it and beats up four of the bullies at once. Although free of his original bullies, it was made apparent that they were part of a gang. The gang was not happy to hear about their boys getting beat and set their sights on Jericho. A week after him defeating the bullies, they chase him into an alleyway and beat him into a bloody pulp, barely made it out alive with the help of Yuki. After a two weeks healing in the hospital, Yuki announces that she had to move away and gives him her hand wraps as a reminder to never give up and to become stronger. With that motivation he trains harder in every martial art, he could find every single day for at least for five hours a day. After a year of constant training and studying, his rage continued to boil to take out the gang who messed with him, so he also took up the weapon oriented martial art perfecting his skill with weapons especially with the blade.
At age sixteen the heat of the rage he was feeling finally cooled down when he found his love for Lily. After six months of officially being with her, jealousy grew within Kojiro, who also liked Lily in a fit of rage Kojiro joined the same gang from two years ago and jumped the two of them while on a date and forced Jerico to watch as they had their way with her and killed her. Being enraged to the fullest degree, he attack and killed two of the gangsters causing the rest to run away in fear. His cruelty was fueled with hate and sadness as he showed no mercy to his former friend. He keeps Kojiro's watch and Lily's bracelet as mementos. Unknowing to Jericho, there was man hiding in the shadows who witnessed all of that potential.
Age 17-18: The man made use of Jericho’s abilities and put him through special training while maintaining his education. Once graduating at the top of his class at 18, he cut all ties with his family in order to pursue the life profession of being a hitman. But that was only the beginning, Jericho used the man as a means to an end for his ambitions.
Age 19-21: Having to swear an oath to the old man and only the old man, he continues to do the bidding of the man by the name of “masked godfather,” believing he is doing the world a favor by taking out corrupt individuals and other icons while being paid handsomely for each of his kills. In this time his merely hones all of his skills from his hand to hand combat, ground combat, weapon skills, his athletic abilities, his aim and shooting. Until he found an opportunistic time to do something even better. As fate would have it, Jericho finds out the the "masked godfather" was part of a powerful gang known as Katamashi and lead the gang members due to his positions as "Godfather". The gang's elite were more of skilled assassins, other killers, politicians and well dressed mobsters while the under belly of the gang or "soldiers" were minor looking gangsters. Lucky for his ambition, the leader was dying of an illness, and all Jericho had to do was wait patiently.
Age 22-28: A path opens up for Jericho, and he uses the money he earned and infested in other businesses while he patiently waited and served the leader until the time of leader's death. By the age twenty-three, the Godfather had died, but in his will bestowed the title to his son and if the son were to die, Jericho would be one to take the position as head. His oath of loyalty was to the old man, not the gang or the man's son. Months after the old man's death, Jericho allied himself with a few of the ranked members and killed the man's son and took the position as "Godfather" and renamed it as "King". Of course the action was too speedy, and the gang faced inner turmoil for a year until Jericho and his allies killed the last of those who opposed him.
Without their leaders, the rest surrendered and accepted him as the leader and swore an oath of loyalty. Those who stood with him were greatly awarded. Years passed, and the gang was more powerful than ever with him as the leader. The members worthy of being part of the inner circle were the elites of the elite, and his power and strength unmistakable. His gang followed him with respect and loyalty, and his enemies knew of his cruelty. With the fortune he has gathered from his businesses and contracts he start his own large scale company calling it "Hera Industries". Funding not only weapons research and scientific genetic mutations.
