Personality:
Illinois is without a doubt a typical adventurer, he's fun loving, cunning, determined and immensely curious. He has a energy and love of life itself, he undeniably appreciates everything life has to offer from the simple things to the richer things. He's surprisingly cool under pressure, keeping calm even in dangerous circumstances, he is also immensely patient and easy-going, not letting much bother him if he can help it. That being said, this tendency to be easily calm can also sometimes make him a bit callous, even a bit ignorant with situations. He is immensely intelligent but this also makes him quite arrogant, making him appear as a show off sometimes. He may be a egotist, but he can indeed take criticism and is usually open minded to other ideas. He's spirited, strong willed and courageous, always ready to put up a fight if he must. He does have a hard time getting close to people, as he has some trust issues, but when he does get close he is undeniably and unapologetically loyal. He's surprisingly compassionate, thoughtful and kind, going out of his way for others and to overall do the noble thing. He's also very charming, and uses his charm to his advantage whenever possible. He's a definite romantic and can be sentimental and wise.
History:
Christopher Jones was born in Springfield, Illinois and was raised there for most of his life. His mother passed away when he was only three, leaving only his single father to provide for him. He and his father were immensely close, and growing up Christopher looked up to him as a child. His father was a history high school teacher and always taught Christopher about the world and the people within them. This inspired the young jones to become a expert explorer and arts collector, and he promised his father that he would indeed travel the world someday. His father was extremely supportive and even financed many clubs and classes to encourage his son's curious spirit. Christopher took many activities, particularly of the outdoors, and was a eagle scout until he was a teen. As a teen he took many nature, art and history classes to expand his knowledge of the world. He became quite popular and well liked, the girls wanted him and the boys wanted to BE him. Despite the ego boost, Christopher relatively took it in stride, even going out of his way to be nice to his admirers relatively.
He graduated then went to college to get his bachelors in cultural studies with a minor in history. Things however began to get dark in Christopher's simple life. One day, when Christopher was eighteen, a burglar robbed his father and things got very ugly. The robber shot his father in the chest and the wound killed his father, while successfully stealing his father's prized possession of the eye of Ra. Devastated, Christopher vowed revenge and helped the police track down the burglar. Eventually, after a year or so of hiding, the burglar was found and arrested. Christopher demanded to know where the eye of Ra was, only for the burglar to admit he sold it to a shady dealer. The police couldn't really do anything about it so Christopher finished college to get his degrees while studying the clues to find the eye of Ra. After he graduated, he became a professional arts collector and adventurer for hire nicknaming himself Illinois to remind himself of his past. And in a way to honor his father. He succeeded in getting the eye of Ra back, and managed to be hired to find many, many other treasures. He gained and lost many assistants due to them all either quitting the job or getting killed in the dangers of finding treasures. Illinois since having a assistant either quit or get hurt, felt it was best to work alone. And did so for a few years.
One day though he met a young person who somehow managed to find the monkey statue of paradise. He befriended them quickly and offered the person to join them on the quest to return the monkey statue to it's rightful place. He was pleased to see them agree and join him, he became a friend to the person and even was impressed by them, especially their calmness under pressure. He then returned the statue alongside his friend and witnessed a paradise called monkey heaven. He got nothing from it but he didn't mind, the experience was a treasure in itself. He eventually left the friend to continue his duty as a explorer. However, he woke up in Chicago and at first he believed it was his own, but was surprised that it wasn't. He found a army called Ask Thatguy and at first was welcomed with hostility. For they assumed him to be a dark demon known as darkiplier. But Illinois proved to them that he wasn't and, if anything, he was on their side. They allowed him freedom but warned him that if he had funny tricks, they'd imprison him. He promised that he wouldn't. He then joined them, anticipating the fun adventure this would be.
Allies: ATG Army
Enemies: Facilier and Critic Army
Plans: Make friends, definitely gain a romance of some kind. Possibly be a spy or be successful in stealing plans from other armies.
