"Who said that I was a "nice guy" at the first place?" "Strategy? I just keep on swinging 'till I hit something or someone."

- Jet's main solitary strategy without his teammates "Give me a break, old geezer..."

- His response after Professor Ozpin named him leader of JJNK. Jet Yukimura is a student of Beacon Academy, and the leader of Team JJNK. A rude, stoic and unmotivated young man while displaying an observant, sharp-minded, and overall brilliant demeanor. His partner is his younger brother, Jin.

Appearance
Jet's own appearance reflects his usual and primary personality. He has a build in the right posture, physically fit but with little muscular preference, jet-black/deep cobalt spiky hair with fringes reaching slightly passing the chin level, intimidating red eyes, and a slightly pale complexion. His neck is wrapped with a bloody red scarf with a metallic plate having the word REBELLION etched on it.

The eye-catching clothing one can see from the young man is his stylish jacket, Dark Revolution, exposing colors that intertwine into a palette of dark & sinister expressions; The majority of the aesthetics are in jet-black, having a pure white tone in the inner layer and streaks of neon violet shade flowing along the center, the sleeves and lower rims of the jacket are styled with flaming patterns and the back of it is his emblem: A pattern of a phoenix is designed on, indicating the Fire Dust that has been woven to its texture, the dark-blue tone of flames emitted is a result of the woven Dust being exposed towards Jet's Aura, drastically changing the reddish-orange tone into a dark-blue color. The jacket is worn over a crimson/white sleeveless turtleneck with a magenta rim and a single black streak printed on the center.

His lower clothing consists of a pair of two-toned baggy pants with silver on the upper region and black along the bottom section, the pants are fastened with 2 black belts having a golden buckle, and they holster 2 zippered pouches having Dust alongside Jet's allowance and Scroll. He's more suited with urban lifestyle when it comes to shoewear, so basically Jet wears a stylish pair of black/golden sneakers with a taupe sole. Finally, just for the sake of his own clothing purposes, he has a silvery-white banner-like fabric attached and hanged from his back with distorted patterns of black all over it.

Alternate Outfit: In this style of clothing, Jet wears a plain white long-sleeved buttoned down shirt with black-and-red checker-based patterned cuffs, a grey t-shirt worn underneath that has the emblem around the reminiscence to that of a meteor shower in colors of violet and blue, and a chain necklace hung around his neck having a phoenix-shaped pendant on the end. His lower attire consists of

Background
Jet was the first-born of the elusive Yukimura clan and raised in a big village outside of Mantle called Kisaragi, then a year came Jin, who was brought into existence. Jet and his brother spent most of their childhood home-schooled with lessons coming from their mother, December, their father on the other hand, was busy attending to his career as an astronomer working at a small yet progressive institute while taking responsibility as both the current head of the Yukimura, and the village's leader.

Living a normal childhood, he was but the memories of it were painted mostly with the grey lines of loneliness because whenever he asked the other kids if he wanted to play with them, they would either reject or simply ignoring then leave him, they can't bully Jet since he is a Yukimura and were rather afraid due to his red eyes, which was inherited from his mother. No matter how hard he plead, no other kid wanted to make friends from the likes of him. The only company that made Jet felt happy is his brother, and their pet dog Zeus. One time, when the elder of his clan trying to give a kiss on Jet for being a kind lad, the latter started to develop a weird habit of petting someone whenever he feels nervous, scared, anxious, or excited.

When he turned 8, Jet is now very reluctant and finds difficulty when making new friends and would stay with his brother or pull out his sketchbook to put his thoughts into drawing. At that age started molding him into a soon-to-be proficient swordsman since December wanted to place her legacy at him, teaching him everything about becoming a Huntsmen, the training sessions along with the sparring duels between mother and son as the flow of time continues begun to engrave Jet into a proud member of both the Yukimura and the Chryseum.

Jet developed into a such a formidable dual-wielding swordsman at a wondrous rate, but his sessions are put in a halt when he turned 12 after hearing that his mom was diagnosed with a disease with no known cure, having less than a month to live in this limited material side of Remnant. In the last day, December weakly smiled as she told her "snow angels" to be with her side, with last words, she told Jin that she greatly appreciated his determination and reminded him to keep that determination intact, as for her eldest: "Never doubt hope. I am with you and your brother as the hope within the both of you, my little snow angels." These were her last words before the last remaining breath of life permanently vanished from her. Jet was left with a strong surge of emptiness enough to leave a scar in both his soul and mind that time is unsure whether or not these wounds would mend.

He was able to move on from her death 6 months after, but the relationship between him and his brother began to diminish since then, resulting in irrelevant and needless fights. Their father, feeling a bit torn apart from the loss of his dearly beloved, suggested the black-haired boy that should he wish to train under his mother's influence, he can let someone to ferry him to Vale's outskirts, where the childhood place of December is located, though he's still unsure about training outside the village, days passed by which he decided to head at his mother's home. Afterwards, the eldest packed his belongings, said his goodbyes to his father and brother, then left Kisaragi to be soon dropped off by a villager to the Fallen Hope Family Ranch in the outskirts of Vale, where made his way to be met his aunt and uncle Aurelius & Tsubaki, who felt the same way as Jet did when December "left" and apologized their nephew for not being there for the cremation ceremony because of the bustling business in their ranch. Once he placed all of his belongings to the room they prepared for him, Jet continued the rigorous training his mother had started for him under the tutelage of his aunt and uncle for four years in their ranch to sharpen his dual-wielding finesse, and with his uncle as his mentor, Jet is able to learn some unarmed hand-to-hand combat should he be stripped away from his weapons.

After completing his training from his mother's side; understanding and attempting the advance fundamentals on the art of combat with the tutelage of his aunt and uncle, Jet was ready to hit the road on his way back home, but before exiting the scene, on the night before his departure, Tsubaki bestowed upon him the fruits of his labor, much to his surprise of having been rewarded for training; a pair of swords; named Blackout & Starchaser  respectively, and a seemingly normal dark-blue jacket having been woven with Fire Dust.

He arrived back at Kisaragi for a such a long time, it hasn't changed since then, much to his surprise. Heading towards his old home, he heard a whistle behind him, coming from a person whom he hasn't mostly in touch with for 4 years: Jin, who has grown into a rather handsome and well-trained young man. After they reconcile with their dysfunctional bond that left them astray for four years, the brothers went together while talking on the way to their father, during their conversation they told each other about what has happened in the village and what they did to further improve their skills.

A year later, the brothers said their goodbyes to the village, and when they arrived at Vale, immediately applied to Beacon Academy, to which their fate now intertwines with unsuspecting factors whom they will encounter in a phenomena of destiny.

Personality
From the outside perspective, Jet is introduced as a stoic, rude, and abrasive young man but shows a perceptive, steadfastly loyal, intelligent, mature, and quick-witted mindset. He sometimes dislikes keeping up conversations with strangers or people outside of his circle of trust, usually handling said conversations with his brother or teammates instead if he gets bored of the topic being discussed, his eyes has a glint of unrefined cynicism with an anti-social tone in his demeanor. If he keeps being pestered with irrelevant nonsense, he rarely lets his anger go and nonchalantly responds by saying "give me a break", or he just simply walks off to spare himself from such bullcrap.

It's heavily implied that he treats his elders back at Kisaragi with the utmost respect, and shows pride for his village, even though he doesn't want to reveal this to others aside his team. He admits that he's not good with people when warming up to others but given by his neutral and stoic behavior, Jet is a bit of an unpredictability; having other people, including those who knew him for a long time, great difficulty in reading on what he has in mind. Jet shows no interest of nearly anything aside from drawing, browsing books, and taking part-time jobs, but if his perception sensed that something is not right or tricky, he will immediately head directly to the scene. He shows a heart of gold and a much angelic atmosphere towards children and little animals, and whenever he eats ice cream or anything that has ice cream on it.

He harbors an iron-clad determination and staunch righteousness, reluctantly giving into despair regardless of how dire the situation is, and believes that (mostly) everyone deserves a second chance in life. This is layered by aforementioned persona above, stemmed by the untimely death of his mother, a figure whom he greatly admired as his inspiration and showing unbroken love as his mother. Jet priortizes the safety of his team and those whom he hold dear above his.

Jet seems to be very active early in the morning, occasionally jogging around the campus grounds, or attending exercise routines outside of the campus. He also loves riding around the city streets with a black and blue bicycle he calls it "Speeder", to relieve the stress he feels after taking a mission or from having a bad mood. He displays a slight concern over his clothing and will probably comment in distaste if somebody ripped his favorite Fire Dust-woven jacket a hole or two.

Abilities & Arsenal
Jet's attack style reflects his own mannerism, close-ranged & reckless enough to inflict severe damage done at extreme precision. He harbors exceedingly brutal strength combined it with near-supernatural speeds which he brandished his Hyper-Blades at sheer precision.:
 * Dual-Wielding Swordplay: After being trained under December's wing, Jet possesses extreme dual-wielding skill over swords. Jet's attack style greatly sacrifices defense in favor of precision, attack prowess, and breakneck speeds.


 * Strength: A key attribute that goes in tandem with his speed, Jet fully extends on this one to maximize the damage potential dealt by his attacks, making sure he dealt devastating blows upon his enemies. Though the strength he displays in his dual-wielding greatly differs that of his hand-to-hand physical combat skills.


 * Precision: Jet has very precise accuracy in his swordmanship capabilities, but rarely uses this when handling ranged weaponry, in which he has very poor skill in using those. The precision implemented to his dual-wielding prowess is outstanding, but this does not give him to easily defeat his would-be opponents.
 * Speed: In tandem with his high dual-wielding competence, he becomes a force to be reckoned with blitzing speed flowing in his style of swordplay. Within close proximity, Jet can theoretically cancel out a Dust projectile with a slash of his sword, but only a certain proximity in close-quarters.

In terms of arsenal, Jet is much accustomed to wielding weapons that are effective in close-ranged combat and is okay if he has to bring Dust to his repertoire. Below are his standard equipment.


 * Dark Revolution: A jet-black/dark-blue jacket that was woven with mounds of Fire Dust by Jet's aunt and uncle as a token for his four-year training. Once worn, Jet generates enticing bluish flames, a byproduct of the once reddish-orange fire that has been exposed to their owner's aura, and a much deadlier version of its original. With this, he can launch searing spheres of blue fire, light himself to warn off enemies near to him, encase his punches in its flames, and bombard an onslaught of dark bluish pillars to his adversaries.


 * Blackout & Starchaser: Double Hyper-Blade swords designed and created by Jet's aunt as a reward for completing his training back at the ranch.
