Personality
Alignment – True Neutral
From the moral perspective, Jan is as close to an ordinary guy as possible. He understands the value and meaning of laws and tries to uphold it as best as he can but doesn´t take it too hard, when he fails due to circumstances. He is selfish, but not cruel. Concerned with his own well being and that of his friends and organizations he is part of. He behave kindly to the ones who he consider to be his friends or allies but also can be pretty ruthless to the ones who crossed him in some way. And despite he wish all the best to the others, he won´t go out of his way to help them out, especially if there will be risks involved for him as well.
Nature – Artiste
First and foremost, Jan is artist, precisely writer who creates just for the act of creation itself. For him, writing isn´t his profession, it´s a his hobby and greatest joy as telling stories is the meaning of his life. For Jan, there isn´t anything more fulfilling than creating new characters, constructing the world around them and finally putting together their stories both heroic and mundane. Of course he likes to share his stories with others, but he is writing them only for himself, without carrying about it´s reception or acceptance. Maybe that´s the main reason why are his books so popular.
Demeanor – Loner
Jan never wished for fame or glory. All he ever wanted was quiet life far away from other people and their noise so he could fully concentrate on his work. However once he was there, he realized that while the nature provided him with peace and quiet for his work it lacked enough inspiration for other stories. And so he learned to walk among people again hidden in the shadows away from crowd, watching them with sincere interest, while at the same time avoiding spotlight whenever possible. And than, when finding something that created spark for another story he retreated back to his sanctuary to write it up.
Hobbies and Peculiarities
Despite trying his best to ignore his family´s legacy, blood once again proved that it´s thicker than water and even Jan found himself to be called by the world of martial arts too. And although he trains far less than he should, he found himself a good sparring partner and friend that keeps him in a good shape. Aside form this, Jan has incredible sweet tooth and so he can be often seen with a pack of jelly bears or with lollipop. He has also undeserved reputation of irredeemable womanizer which is however result of serious misunderstanding that is streaming from his absolute cluelessness when it comes to womem. Simply put, Jan doesn´t understands women a bit. He has no idea how to treat them or how to act in front of them, he can not even read their nonverbal communication and to hide it he is very opened casual and friendly with them as if he were with any other friends of his. However from one reason or another, this approach is often misunderstood for flirting. The situation all the more absurd, that Jan himself is and always was faithful in all his relationships
Appearance
Physical Description
Jan is rather tall man in his late twenties with lean, yet athletic body and firm muscles. He was born with very sharp, yet handsome face framed with thick black hair he wears tousled, creating the look of rugged elegance which creates contrast to his always perfectly shaved face. Together with his distinctly blue eyes he may send the “bad boy” vibe that many woman finds attractive from whatever reason.
Outfit and Accessories
Jan prefers to wear the right mix between elegant and comfortable clothes so he usually pick loose linen trousers of brown or gray color together with a dark shirt. He also prefers comfortable shoes geared more towards free movement over the formal ones and wears full suit only during very special occasions. His usual wardrobe is than supplemented with a silver cross on a chain, he wears around his neck and diplomatic bag that contains the book he currently reads and at least one pack of jelly bears.

Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Piercing Kata
Description:- Pressing all of his five fingers together, Jan will form a "spear hand", before focusing all of his strength into his fingertips, giving them the ability to pierce through human skin, flesh and even bones. Although this technique is very similar to Shigan from Rokushiki in it´s basic concept the two of them are actually very different. Where Shigan is very fast and subtle Spear is way slower and more straightforward relying more on raw physical strength to do the job. Because of that comparing this two techniques is like comparing gun with spear.

Name:- Sword
Fighting Style:- Nine Arts Dragon
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Divine Kata
Description:- Forming his knife hand, Jan will swing his arm in a wide arc across his body with such speed that it creates a crescent blade of compressed air in its wake. Because of the wide arc of the initial movement, this blade doesn't travel far, but rather cuts through space in a semicircle in front of the user, effectively increasing the range of his arm several times, while giving him the ability to actually cut through the body of his enemies.

Name:- Phantom Step
Fighting Style:- Nine Arts Dragon
Rank:- 2
Aspects:- Lightning Kata

Background
Monsters in the New Age
Jan was born to very old and now almost extincted family of martial artists and assassins located in the Grand Line. Being martial arts fanatics for centuries, his ancestors always strived for ultimate body, that would allow them to overcome the limits of regular humans and push their techniques even further. Because of that they maintained very strict marriage policy, arranging the marriages between their children and powerful martial artists or other people who exhibited exceptional powers and abilities that could prove useful to the clan. Thanks to that his family developed, over the course of centuries, very strong and robust bodies with two innate abilities, their unusual toughness and incredibly fast recovery rate, that gave them not only the ability to withstand great punishment and bounce back right afterwards, but also to train longer and harder since their youth. Thanks to this they used to be quite strong and numerous however with the advent of a gunpowder and firearms they started to decline. In the end, when Jan was born only his grandfather and uncle were maintaining the family tradition. His father left and moved to the West Blue, where he founded sweets producing company, that became the foundation of their wealth.
Prince of sweets
Jan was born as the eldest and only son of his father who did his best to shield him from his grandfather´s and uncle´s influence. Fortunately, he didn´t have to try too hard as despite the family blood running in his veins, Jan was very quiet, obedient child that preferred to listen and later read good stories over studying martial arts or any other physical activity for the matter. As his father also frequently tested new flavors on him, he also quickly developed tastes for a sweet, owing his health and decent look only to the incredible recovering abilities and fast metabolism of his body. As his father was a bit paranoid about his grandfather, Jan was both raised and schooled at home. Educated in the basic fields of science and humanities by a great private tutors, with the focus on economy and business, preparing him to succeed his father´s position one day. Because of that Jan lacked any real friends during his childhood, but he rarely complained as he always felt that his books are the only friends he needs.
Young Author
His life didn´t change that much until he turned thirteen. It was back than when he realized that only reading books written by others doesn´t satisfy him, that he has head full of stories that he wants to put on the paper too. He started to work on his first stories in secret as he wasn´t really sure how would his parents accept this hobby of his and managed to keep it secret until he turned seventeen. At the time he already finished numerous short stories and was working on his first book. He would probably manage to hide it longer if not for his girlfriend from that time. You see as a rich, good looking young man he never had a shortage of potential girlfriends and fiancees, however his personality kept him from forming any real relationship. However since certain age his parents were trying to set him up during every occasion. And so to make them happy he started dating with a daughter of the local steelworks. And it worked out pretty well at least until she found out that he was “flirting” with another girl during ball. This misunderstanding turned into fight over the course of two weeks, that end by her slamming doors of their house in his face, yelling something about burning him together with that stupid book he is so proud about. This last words picked the interest of Jan´s mother who overheard their fight. Curious as any other bored housewife she searched his table, only to find his collection of short stories and unfinished manuscript for his book. Impressed by it´s quality, she discussed with his father the possibility of helping him to publish it. They found an agreement and approached Jan, who at first was strongly against it, but after some persuasion he agreed with publishing collection of his newer (and better) short stories under the pseudonym of Peter Raskrie twenty two (at that time) years old beginning novelist. And to his own surprise, it has success.
Standing on his own feet
His fist book was success, the second one became bestseller in his native West Blue and Peter Raskrie became well known name in the literary world. However the more he wrote the more he felt that if he want to become better, he have to move on and so in the age of twenty he left his parents house on the Toroa Island and moved to the North Blue, where he bought a nice house in the Holy Remunun Empire. There he flourished as the busy city supplied him with inspiration on every corner. Or more precisely it overwhelmed him as he quickly realized that he has too many ideas and can not decide what to write first. And so he moved once again, this time buying small cottage in the mountains away from the main city. There he finally managed to sort his own ideas and create functional routine where he migrates between his city house and mountain cottage whatever he needs more inspiration or peace at the moment. During the years that followed, Jan became household name in the West, respectively North Blu literature world, changed several girlfriends and found great friend and teacher in Magnus Romanus Augustus. The two of the met for the first time two years ago, when Jan was looking for inspiration for his next novel among the citizens of the capital city. By chance he learned about ex marine captain who got through horrific injuries and became master of his own Dojo. As he became interested in his story he visited him and started to train under under his tutelage. From the very beginning Jan was completely honest with the fact that he is mainly interested in Magnus´s story, however the ex marine didn´t give him anything for free. He trained him in all three of his martial arts amazed how quickly and naturally can Jan pick up different moves and even create new of his own, not to mention his natural resilience. It took another year and in the end Jan got more than just a story he could base his novel on. He got a friend, maybe the first real one in his whole life and new hobby in the form of his martial arts training. Even now whenever he finds himself in the city, Jan visits Magnus´s dojo to spar with his friend.
