π₯ he/him pronouns
π₯ Bi πππ (but prefers women) and recipromantic ππ©·ππ€π€
π₯ 52 years old
π₯ 5'10
π₯ His birthday is on August 9 πππ
π₯ Has severe PTSD and PPD, this poor man... <:(
π₯ Is from/lives in Belgium, but was born in the Netherlands π§πͺπ³π±
π₯ He speaks little/broken English, but he also speaks French primarily (all the European dialects), German, and Dutch π«π·π©πͺπ³π±
π₯ Has a mix of a Belgian and Dutch accent, everyone finds it very fascinating <3
TW// mention of amputation
π₯ Lost his left ear, left eye, left arm, and right leg when he tried to detonate an explosive safely, but he didn't know it was set to go off when he was detonating it and... it was too late. His limbs and eye couldn't be reattached as they melted from the explosion πβ€οΈβπ©Ή
π₯ He likes watching TV, staying cozy inside, quilting, cats, jazz music, spending time with Tintin, soup, hot tea, pastries, rainy weather, hanging out with Captain Haddock and Skut (on good days) or talking to them on the phone, talking to Styx (my self insert), watching Tintin engage in his hobbies, sitting outside to get fresh air, lavender, and cooking (to the best of his ability)
π₯ He dislikes dogs (but tolerates Snowy), sharp objects, the ocean, iced drinks, cold foods, chips, spicy things, blood, scary/horror movies, loud music, large gatherings, overly cold and hot weather, pretty much all of Tintin's enemies (especially Allan Thompson and the Captain of the Peary), people who badmouth his friends and Tintin, Bianca Castafiore's singing, being inside all the time, wearing his prosthetics and eyepatch, and any topic involving explosives and barges (these trigger his PTSD severely)
π₯ Has 2 older brothers that live in Austria (and are Tintin's uncles)
π₯ He's been a lifelong friend of Skut's and did everything together, but lost touch when Jules got deployed. They're still best friends to this day! ^^ and he met Captain Haddock 4 years after he was relieved of his military duties and he helped him have a more positive outlook on life <3
TW// mention of s**cide
π₯ Jules is not a man of many words, but when he does talk he's VERY kind and caring just like his son <:) he's extremely family devoted and are the very few people he talks to, and is also super shy. Jules however used to be very cynical and had a bleak outlook on life after what he witnessed when he was in the Navy. Mentally, he's never been the same since. He's been very miserable and developed severe depression, and was even considering taking his own life a year after he left his base permanently. Thankfully his family, friends, and psychiatrist supported him through and through, and he hasn't thought about taking his own life ever since and sees life in a more positive light! π he's not the best at talking to people and is not an angry person, but he's very sweet and has a lot of kindness to offer. β€οΈ
π₯ He takes antidepressants and anxiety medication to help make his mood more manageable as well as going to physical therapy so he can walk normally again.
π₯ He got deployed when Tintin was 14, and wasn't able to see his family for 4 years π
π₯ All of his attached limbs suffered severe nerve damage, so he's unable to feel anything except for his abdomen and face. He even had a stroke when he was 32 :( Even with his right ear, his hearing got severely damaged as well and needs a hearing aid. But at least Tintin can feel his pain since they both have physical disabilities.
π₯ He never had a job before being in the Navy, but he wants to work at a rehab facility where he can help veterans get their lives back on their feet!
