Jean Faymas

"'When I'm not doing my important job of fighting the mega unknown, I enjoy being a variety streamer, drinking beer and hanging out with my cat!'"

Jean Faymas, commonly known as Jets, is an Australian female VTuber and artist. She is a plamo and mecha loving tomboy; and is most well-known for her relentlessly upbeat personality, love of all things retro, and self-proclaimed dingus brain. She is associated most closely with her fellow Australians Hanya, Mako Fukasame and Clio Aite in the Australian VTuber Collective - Vershion.

Personality
Jets is an excitable and energetic tomboy with a positive and welcoming attitude toward everyone. As a professional mech pilot working for Cynapse Inc., when not streaming she is busy fighting kaiju with her mech M-11-A as a domestic protection operative of the Australian defense division of Cynapse.

She is a quintessential boomer zoomer - though having only just graduated from mech academy much of her taste in media like music, shows, movies, games, art and even architectural design all lean to those of the 60s up to the 2000s. Taste which is shown through her overall style and design. She is a huge fan of David Bowie, The Smiths, Twin Peaks, Serial Experiments Lain, CRT monitors, IBM keyboards and many more. She has also shown expertise and knowledge in the history of modern art.

Her youth and relative life inexperience often render her unintentionally seiso when lewd topics arise, although she does have a hidden darker side evident through her Twitter likes and occasional spicy drawings.

While not the most naturally talented gamer in the world, becoming flustered and panicky under stressful situations, she is stubbornly determined and refuses to be defeated by a challenge. She is rarely interested in triple AAA titles of the moment and is usually to be found playing a retro or indie game, drawing, or just chatting.

She also makes creative use of the streaming and VTubing medium, often creating elaborate stream overlays such as YouTube's overlay back in 2012, Metal Gear codec screen, Windows XP desktop with vintage Wordart, and CRT screen savers.

Appearance
Jets has pale skin, short and messy ash purple hair (and ahoge since Season 2), dull green eyes and slight freckles on her face. She has metallic nubs attached to both sides of the top of her head. Nubs which are in fact neural interfaces implanted directly into her brain to help her link more effectively with her mech. When activated they glow orange, an effect which also spills over to her eyes. Lanky and thin, often described as being a stick by herself, chat and friends.

Called and known as her mech studies uniform; Jets is usually seen wearing a white button shirt rolled up to her elbows under her black sweater vest, purple skirt, knee socks, and black platform shoes. A red safety-pinned armband on her right sleeve displays her mech pilot registration number 237. A number also displayed on a red tag that carries the key to her mecha M-11-A. Her hands and wrists are bandaged, and her knees covered in plasters. She also occasionally wears round silver reading glasses.

She is also sometimes seen wearing a metal headset that sits just behind her neural implants, as well as a black Cynapse-branded jacket with her mech pilot registration number above the left breast, and as a black beret that covers most of her head.

Jets also carries around a black leather handbag with a grey strap with badges pinned along it. Badges which are representative of her love of Star Trek, Blade Runner, Gurren Lagann, and sci-fi in general.

Having now graduated from her mech studies, Jets has started wearing her mech suit that consists of a loose purple sweater-like base, a white, beige and grey material that holds itself tight mostly around her abdomen down to just above her kneecaps, as well as most of her arm and hands. White tube-like frames holds most of the suit together connecting different sections, though mostly on her posterior down to her upper thighs. A spinal frame also runs down most of her back, connecting to the spinal tail-like plug used to form a neural connection to her mecha M-11-A. Along with the suit, Paw-like gauntlets are able to attach to the rest of Jets' mech suit by her elbows and hands, extending her reach down to her knees. Jets also wears tall platform boots with the same color scheme.

Jets occasionally wears a black oversized Cynapse-branded jacket held onto her by multiple straps. The jacket goes down to her thighs before continuing as a a semi-transparent material that covers the rest down past her knees. Her jacket collar and cuffs are composed of the same sweater-like material as her mech suit has. Over this jacket usually hung with a dark purple strap was a white ID holder, and a yellow semi-transparent section; displaying a photo of her, her mech pilot identification number, her full given name, her title as the pilot of M-11-A, her facility placement and her verification access level.

Other than her mech suit, Jets also wears a casual outfit. A black worn Cynapse-branded crop top shirt over a black loose crop top camisole. She wears purple plaid boxers to match the shirt. Like in Season 1, Jets also wears round glasses, though now black instead of silver.
