Captain:King Jounton

The current king of the zith kingdom of Daco, Jounton is the child of Zarton II and Ismart, and is the borther of the late king of Daco, Zarton III.

Childhood
Born into the royal family Jounton's child hood was a safe and happy one. Set in the backdrop of a peaceful period devoid of war and with talk of the prospects of joining the Galian Alliance, Jounton became known for his happy attitude, stubborn dedication to whatever he was trying to accomplish, and a never ending belief in hope. He became very close with his brother, and became friends with the latter love of this life, Imarti.

Second to the King
As Jounton was the second born, his brother was chosen to be king when their father passed away. Although this did not put the two brothers at odds, as Jounton had little desire to control the thrown, and he was content with ruling the kingdom under his brother. Zarton III proved a good king over all, and continued their familes rule well. The good times came to an end when the Narmie War broke out, and soon Daco's vast armies were called upon to march to war along side the rest of the Zith Empire. Jounton's moods became more and more grim as corpses were brough back for burial, and even Zarton III himself left to bolster the moral of the troops on the front lines. It was the last time Zarton saw his home land. During his visit to one of the embattled worlds, Zarton III was mortaly wounded during a surprise attack, and Jounton rushed to the world in time to see his brother's final moments, and to be officially named king by his brother's dieing wish.

Personality
Before the Narmie War Jounton was known for never being sad or depressed and being very optimistic. Although he did recover somewhat from his borther's death he suffers from depression and grief. He still has a strong seance of hope, and believes that his time as king is a service both for his people and his brother, who he hopes to see in the next life. He is calm when happy, and it is hard to anger him, but when angered he is known for his decisive action. He is quick to defend himself and his friends, and even quicker to kill if he has truly determined someone as a foe. He is a strong believer in the religion of the ziths, and his chosen god is Zanton.

Skills and Abilities
Jounton has a very clever mind, and an excellent memory. He is able to recite the entire history of his family from memory alone. He is a skilled tactician and often personally leads the most important battles, but never far away from his guards.

Tactical Skills
Jounton is an expert commander, a quick thinker and both tempered and proven during the Narmie and First Alliance War. Jounton is known for taking liberal use of the zith race's natural toughness to make the enemy focus on the most dangerous units, while moving the rest of the forces into position to pin the enemy and overwhelm them in one rush. Generally perfering to be on the offensive than the defensive, he is none the less able to hold the line against all but the most overwhelming assaults.

Combat Skill
Jounton is an accomplished fighter in his own right, equally skilled with a gun and his sword. Training under masters from across the Zith Empire, Jounton prefers the Zaha fighting style but has mixed in some moves from Northern, Southern and Western Styles. At range Jounton is an excellent shoot, although he rarely caries a gun unless on the battle field.
