Appearance:


Age: August 19, 1983 So, at his canon point he is 24.




History: Wiki Cyswllt Originally, a member of Torchwood One he barely survived the battle of Canary Wharf to during which that branch of the institute was destroyed. Afterward, he made it a point to do whatever was necessary to get the attention of Jack Harkness, and acquire a job at Torchwood 3, based on his previous knowledge, his skills and abilities, Jack finally relents and gives him the job. And Ianto uses his position to sneak in his partially converted Cyberwoman Girlfriend into the Hub in the hopes of 'saving' her. Things eventually go wrong and she nearly kills the entire team. He manages to betray Jack's trust and the trust of the team, but almost as punishment is allowed to continue his employment. Eventually, there are hints of a relationship that develops between Ianto and Jack, but at Ianto's canon point for purposes of this game, that relationship has just begun to progress into something more that what was describe by another team member as 'a part time shag'. Or at least Ianto believes it was, until Jack vanishes to go off with the Doctor and leaves the team alone.




Personality: Ianto, like Jack has his secrets, and gives up little about himself of his past. He claimed that his father was a master tailor, but it was later reviled that was not the truth. He is a conman, and possibly a better one than even the 'great' Jack Harkness himself. Having fooled him not only by hiding his partially converted Cyberwoman girlfriend in the basement of the Hub, but acquiring the job there at Torchwood 3 solely so that he could do so and try to find a 'cure'. Through, out the series it is there are other more subtle examples of his deceptions none more evident than when Gwen confronts his sister after his death and speaks of how well she knew him only to have Rhiannon question whether she 'even knew him at all'.

Ianto keeps most of his emotions tightly in check. He shows little on his features and normally maintains a fairly stoic neutral expression. He isn't without humor and often makes humorous witty one line dry remarks, that are often laced with sarcasm and deadpan humor. He plays himself to be more or less incapable, but is possibly one of best assets on the Torchwood staff. Ianto is stoic, and reserved. He is quiet and well mannered. He stays in the background cleaning up other people's messes and being the 'go to guy' for local knowledge and other information. Ianto is motivated mainly by the fact that he survived the War of Canary Wharf, and was given yet another chance by Jack after Lisa nearly destroyed the Hub. If anything, he doesn't understand what anyone sees in him, and feels he's basically 'useless', but does do whatever he can and makes a consistent effort normally proving otherwise.

He has a fairly dark outlook on the world. It isn't clear what his relationship was with his father, Ianto makes indications to it being one way, but his sister makes it seem completely different. Ianto has seen the terrible things in his short life, the Cyberman and the Daleks at Torchwood One. Jack and the teams execution of Lisa in the Hub. He didn't hesitate to shoot Owen when the Medic refused to listen to him and decided to try and open the Rift against Jack's orders. He's proven time and time again that he's willing to do whatever necessary to prove himself a valuable member of the team. Even if he himself isn't sure he really is.




Powers/Special Abilities: Excellent marksman, fact finder, quick thinking, resourceful, good under pressure. Some familiarity with select alien/ Extraterrestrial customs/weaponry. Top physical condition, within the limits of any normal human with typical physical training, combat/weapons skills. He has some psychic training that makes it difficult for him to be fooled by some more simple psychic tricks. He is however, mortal and human so there for limited in the same ways as any 'normal' person would be.




Reason for Character Choice: I've played Jack Harkness, and decided to give Ianto a shot, I've bounced him off a few Jacks on SWS. I figured I'd give him a shot somewhere a bit more structured and see how it goes.

Additional Information: Excellent marksman, fact finder, quick thinking, resourceful, good under pressure. Some familiarity with select alien/Extraterrestrial customs/weaponry. He, like Jack has his secrets, and gives up little about himself of his past. He is a conman, and possibly a better one than even the 'great' Jack Harkness himself.
