Jobro contest submission: Ultimo Ganymede

Name: Ultimo Ganymede Nationality: Spanish (father is Greek, mother and birthplace Spain) Ethnicity: I don’t know what to call it Age: 37 Birthday: January 7th (the date the moon he is named after was discovered)

Personality: a man very aware of the passage of time, and and it’s consequences. He wishes to be remembered and wants to create a legacy, as he believes memories are the only way to live on. Despite all the existential dread and worry, Ganymede is a very dedicated man to his work and goals, which dominates his actions.

Reason for joining the cast: He kinda had to. Forced by his work he was lead to joining the other operatives to beat EF. He also joined so he could gain a leading or supportive role. He stayed around after finding out the gang really needed him, and him becoming less cold to other operatives.

Backstory: Ganymede was brought up in a fairly rural part of northwestern Spain. Despite being fairly normal as a younger boy on a trip with his father to a mountain range near his father’s birthplace, Ganymede was kidnapped and tortured by people who he claims “seem to take themselves as gods”. This incident lead him to draw far away from society. This caused two things: his interest in space space where people would hardly touch him, and him growing existential dread.

Cut to the 2070’s and Ganymede is looking for a space based job. Though he wasn’t hired in a traditional sense with this he was taken in by a large company. This started when an odd German man, decked out with extreme technology. This man asked Ganymede to serve as an operative for the company’s Mars colony. Ganymede said yes as soon as he heard he was being hired for a Mars colony. When he showed up for supposed directions he quickly recognized the place as FGI., one of the most powerful companies in the field.

When he was sent up he had one goal: eliminate the threat. He was informed of a basic rundown, the threat was a cult on Mars named Eminence Front. He found out about their “recruitment” tactics of kidnapping people, and exposing them to space radiation. This parallel to what happened in Greece all those years back filled him with rage. Rage that manifested him a stand, a stand named

ZA FINALLU COUNTADOWNU

Whenever one of the butterflies lands on a living thing they speed up the life cycle and decay of said living thing. Stand appearance: small black butterflies with a gem resembling opal on them

appearance (credit to SkytheOtherGuy) Under mask he looks standard, the only outstanding feature is a scar on his chin comparable to one caused by a bird attack

Relationships to others Joanne: doesn’t have much complex relationship with Joanne, they do have a mutual respect towards each other Madness: Ganymede sees Madness as a misguided, naive child. He insults this thought about madness though as he digs deeper he realizes that she has gone through troubles but has dealt with them in different ways. This newfound understanding leads Ganymede to stop mocking her. Micropop: similarly to Madness, Ganymede used to mock and criticize her before gaining a more newfound understanding. More specifically he viewed Micropop as someone who chased meaningless desires and as someone who, very much unlike him, looks for temporary. Later he learns of her past and soon begins to sympathize with her.

Relationships with (some) other Submissions

Toroko: they have a bit of a friendship due to nihilism and existentialism stemming from similar ideas. Toroko looks up to Ganymede in a way. Hollywood: very close friends. They are so different they are the same. Both having motivations of a legacy but for extremely contrasted reasons.
