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 - despite having only just graduated from mech academy (university), much of her taste in music, shows, movies, games, art and even architectural design derives from the period between the 60s and 2000s. She is a huge fan of David Bowie, The Smiths, Twin Peaks, Serial Experiments Lain, CRT monitors, IBM keyboards and much 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 UI circa 2012, the Metal Gear codec screen, a Windows XP desktop with vintage Wordart, and CRT screen savers.

Appearance
Jets has pale skin, short and messy ash purple hair (with the addition of an ahoge since Season 2), dull green eyes, and slight facial freckling. She has metallic nubs attached to both sides of the top of her head, which are neural interfaces implanted directly into her brain to help her link more effectively with her mech, and definitely not cat ears. When activated they glow orange, an effect which also spills over to her eyes. Physically she is lanky and thin, and often described as a stick by herself, chat, and friends.

Seasons 1 Jets was usually seen wearing a white button shirt rolled up to her elbows, under a black sweater vest, purple skirt, knee socks, and black platform shoes, representing her mech studies uniform. A red safety-pinned armband on her right sleeve displayed her mech pilot registration number, 237, with the same number also displayed on a red tag that carries the key to her mecha M-11-A. Her hands and wrists were bandaged, and her knees covered in plasters. She also was occasionally seen at various times sporting round silver reading glasses, a metal headset that sat just behind her neural implants, a black Cynapse-branded jacket, or a black beret that covered most of her head.

She also carried a black leather handbag with a grey strap with badges pinned along it, representing 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 a full mech suit, consisting of a consists of a loose purple sweater-like base, with a white, beige and grey skintight material on top around her abdomen and down to just above her kneecaps and along most of her arm and hands. White tube-like frames hold most of the suit together and appear to connect the different sections, mostly on her posterior down to her upper thighs. A spinal frame also runs down most of her back, and ends in a long tail-like plug used to form a neural connection to her mecha M-11-A. Two claw-like gauntlets can be attached to the rest of her mech suit by her elbows and hands, extending her reach down to her knees. She also wears tall platform boots in the same color scheme.

Over the top of the mech suit, Jets occasionally wears a black oversized Cynapse-branded jacket held in place by multiple straps. This jacket reaches to her thighs before continuing as a semi-transparent material that covers to a point past her knees. Her jacket collar and cuffs are composed of the same sweater-like material as the mech suit. Over this jacket is a dark purple strap with a white ID holder, and a yellow semi-transparent window displaying her pilot ID card with identifying information.

More casually, Jets also wears a black scuffed Cynapse-branded crop top shirt over a loose black camisole, with purple plaid boxers below. She also occasionally wears round glasses, albeit black instead of the season 1 silver.
