Combat Information
Alignment: neutral, but tends to slide over to good at times
Weapon: Indiana Jones is famous for his bullwhip. A long strip of leather, Indy has used it hundreds of times throughout his adventures. It can be used for pulling levers, swinging over chasms, or simply smacking a Nazi across the cheek. It takes a great deal of skill to use a whip, as it has a tendency to snap the wrong way, resulting in an inexperienced wielder beating himself half to death. He's also got a Browning HP and a .45 ACP Hand Ejector 2.

History: Indiana Jones was born Henry Walden Jones Junior to Scottish-born professor of Medieval literature, Dr. Henry Jones Sr. and his wife Anna on July 1, 1899, in Princeton, New Jersey.
"Junior" accompanied his father on his travels throughout Europe, where he learned to speak, read, and write 27 languages, including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish, Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Vietnamese, Swahili, Latin and Chinese, as well as some Hindi, apart from English. Although his father called him "Junior," Henry Jr. adopted the name of his beloved dog "Indiana" for himself, insisting he be referred to as "Indiana Jones".
In 1912, Indy was living in Utah and was a member of the Boy Scouts with the rank of Eagle Scout. It was here, while attempting to secure the Cross of Coronado from thieves, Indy first learned to use the bullwhip and received his trademark fedora, as well as the scar on his chin. This was also the time when he first developed his aversion to snakes.
His father wanted Indiana to go to Princeton University. To escape this, he ran away from home by train. He ended up in Mexico and was kidnapped by Mexican revolutionaries. He joined this army of revolutionaries, playing a part in the Mexican Revolution in 1916, under Pancho Villa. It is here that he also met his friend Remy, a Belgian. With Remy, he left Mexico and traveled to Ireland just in time for the Easter Rising. He then traveled to England, getting involved with the suffrage movement, and then he and Remy joined the Belgian Army. He participated in the Western Front. He was taken prisoner by the Germans, escaped, encountered (and lost his virginity to) Mata Hari eventually making his way to Africa.
When they arrived in Africa, Jones and Remy were commissioned as lieutenants. Jones' inability to read maps properly caused him to lose his intended unit, and he instead fought along side a team of old men under the British Army. Among missions, the team destroyed a giant cannon mounted on a train, and they kidnapped the German military genius Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck in a balloon, but they were forced to release him. Also while in Africa, Jones took ill, and was treated by Albert Schweitzer.
Jones and Remy then transferred to the French Army, and Jones worked as an intelligence officer, vied with Ernest Hemingway for the affections of a young nurse, and worked as a translator for the Treaty of Versailles, seeing the war come to its conclusion but laying down the groundwork for a second conflict.
Sometime after the war, Jones returned to the United States, where he studied archaeology at the University of Chicago under Professor Abner Ravenwood. At the same time, he became romantically involved with the Professor's daughter Marion.
Dr. Jones abruptly left the Ravenwoods in 1926 and did not contact them for 10 years. (The sudden end to his relationship with Marion Ravenwood led to a deep rift between himself and Abner during this time.) He divided his time between teaching and archaeological expeditions, including a journey to China and India in 1935 where he raced Nazis to a mystical gem called "The Heart of the Dragon" from the ancient tomb of a Chinese emperor. Immediately afterward, he faced the gangster Lao Che and the Thuggee, followers of the cult of Kali. He was called to a temple in Asia, where the diety Mara resided, but went missing, worrying the goverment and his friend Sallah. When guests in a troop transport entered the temple, Indy revealed himself alive again to the world by saving them. In 1936, he was contacted by the United States government to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis. He continued to take on infrequent missions for the government over the ensuing years. In 1938, Indy rescued his father from the Nazis and became embroiled in the search for the Holy Grail. His life during World War II is unknown, but in 1947 he was deceived by the recently born CIA to search the mechanism of the Babylonian Infernal Machine.
Personality: Indy is a sensible individual, even if he can be a bit of a rouge when you give him a chance. He is extremely well educated and tends to give a logical explanation for most of the happenings in his life. He's funny, charming and more than handsome.
