Mr. Ko

Jay Alexander Ko is a teacher and a founder of Fanplan Academy and teaches Gym. He is the leader of the Ko house and possesses one of the Magical Pins that teachers are permitted to have while on school grounds. He is a former Hitman and was previously an Orphan before he aged out of the system.

Appearance
Jay sports spiky and often messy light orange hair, he has quite a few tuffs that don't seem to want to stay down and cooperate with the rest of his hair. His body is riddled with scars from when a window broke just over his head along with a few others from his prior job as a hitman.

His eyes are commonly closed, but somehow he still manages to see everything. When his eyes are open, however, his heterochromia is apparent. Consisting of his orange and red eye, it's commonly used as an imitation tactic rather than something that he does to see better.

He wears his houses' gym uniform (color 2) under a trenchcoat. The trenchcoat consists of a brownish-orange collar, pocket liners, and cuffs. The rest of the trench coat is a dark, dull brown. On his left, he carries his magical pin, presenting in his logo.

He wears a brown belt, and black dress pants and dress shoes with heels.

Personality
Jay is rather laid back, letting students do really whatever as long as it doesn't break major and important rules. He doesn't normally act vulnerable around others as he finds it too 'risky', he is rather uptight or more so "I'll-keep-it-to-myself" type.

He's very distant and only occasionally opens up about his problems to Stephen Ng or better known as Mr. Ng. He has very little trust in people since his time in his hitman position left him very introverted.

At times he does let his guard down and relaxes around people he trusts more than the average person, and opens up more when intoxicated or heavily tired. He is very protective of people he trusts, however, stating that he wouldn't let them vanish like how others he trusted in his life did.

Backstory
Jay grew up under a pretty tame household, his family is quite the buzz for dark-web exchanges since they were- at the time- popular investigators who seemed to crack cases quite easily. Making this a risk for anyone who may cross their path while accessing or doing business on the dark web. His parents were prime investigators for anything internet related and/or dark web-related. They have, in the past, taken down quite a few prime people down in the dark-web industry. Leaving this a major threat to anyone who was rising on the radar. There were also rumors that the family had something magical going on within, and that sparked the interest of quite a bunch.

Jay wasn't sheltered though either, he was open to doing a lot and his parents wouldn't invade his personal space. His lead Jay into being very calm and docile, not really forced into anything uncomfortable unless it was the average 'School concert' or the such. He had the average amount of friends, and was quite popular if you asked him. He wasn't too great with grades but did excel in English and occasionally Spanish. He liked going out and when he did, his parents just made sure he kept in touch throughout the day/night to make sure he was safe and sound.

Jay noticed though his body temperature was always higher than average, and that heat didn't bother him in the slightest. When he was around the age of 10 he managed to light a candle on by himself without help from a lighter or match. He thought it was the coolest, and bragged about it at school- which no one took fairly seriously but it was a thing that Jay took pride in at the time.

Eventually, though, a few Hitmen got a hit on both of his parents, which did result in success as the plan progressed. Jay, of course, watched this happen and tried to dial 911 to maybe save his parents, since he didn't know they were already dead. In this time the hitmen realized they had not been paid to kill the child and decided to take him into their custody since he could be of use to them in the future, rather than wasting this opportunity they sought out Jay and took him after apprehending him.

As the years progressed, they had Jay train and swear an oath to not contact the outside world until he was considered a trusted member. During the years of training up to be a trusted member, he learned how to apprehend, detect, handle, and kill anyone he may have been sent out for. Of course, nothing in this training would assure his safety in this process but he didn't have much of a choice. He soon regained an understanding or memory of his fire abilities and kept them on the down-low, training or using those abilities sparingly when no one would notice. Just to keep his abilities sharp and clean.

Upon the year of being a trusted member, he was able to test the waters with human interaction once again. Jay at this time aged out of the system to still be considered an orphan and was many years after his disappearance. He did remeet up with Daniel Lim during this time and quickly began reestablishing connections he lost over the years.

After his formal title change, he sought out Daniel and continued to befriend him and catch up. Eventually, he was introduced to Stephen Ng, Annabelle Melodify, and Hosuh Lee. He didn't get along with Stephen at first glance, but eventually, after talking more and more they got closer. Until eventually the Fanplan Academy idea was hatched, and Jay offered to teach Gym since he had been training so many years- and he had resistance to hot temperatures so teaching outside wouldn't be trouble- and became Fanplan Academy's Gym teacher.

During the time of Fanplan Academy being build, he opened a case against the Hitmen establishment for the murders of his parents years prior. Jay, being kept on the close watch by the police, got cut off from the business entirely as he continued to fight for the justice of his parents. He attended college while doing this.

The business he worked at had a cover-up as a "machinery reseller" and claimed that they would not have any means to kill anyone and there was no proof of this murder that happened 5+ years prior. There was no substantial proof that they had any ties to the dark web and Jay assuming so was ridiculous. Jay continued to fight the 'company' until he got in the mail the final verdict from the courthouse. Which said his parents' death was from natural causes and the 'company' was found not guilty.

After this, he arranged a meeting with the boss of the 'company' at his house, accompanied by Stephen. Jay was expected to pay the costs that the 'company' had to pay to defend themselves in court, along with signing a paper to confirm his time working there since his unofficial removal from the team he was still considered a member. After signing and handing over the money that he remarked he "could've used for student loans"

During the visit the leader of the exchange questioned Stephen Ng heavily for a prior criminal case that he was involved in, leading up to a gun being pulled on them by one of the guards. Jay re-established the situation with the guard and shook on it with the leader, then pulled a gun on them.

Jay was injured after the fight but has since recovered. He just has a scar on his side now- aside from the others littered around his body.

Stephen Ng
He and Stephen are close as can be, possibly a bit too close. They're like brothers to each other and they normally open up about problems with each other. Jay notified Stephen first about his parent's murder case coming back under natural causes and Stephen has opened up about the origins of his scar.

Stephen also assisted in the murders of Jay's past boss who had killed his parents and forced Jay into the Hitman business. Following two of the bosses guards, one of which shot Jay in his left side nearly killing him.

Daniel Lim
He and Daniel don't share many interactions, but they seem to get along quite well when having to discuss school-related things. Sometimes Jay will leave a cookie or three on his desk as an offering for not conversating much throughout the year. They both generally get along though.

Hosuh Lee
He and Hosuh are friends, sharing a few physical bonding moments with each other. (The time when everyone was out in the field and He, Stephen, and Hosuh huddled together.) They both are generally on good terms as far as that goes, Jay was also the one to house Hosuh and Stephen when they got wasted a house over.

Jay has also considered picking up his ex-hitman job (pre-boss murder) to get hits on Hosuh's two "friends." One of which caused the window to break in his room and was the result of his facial and a few body scars. Trying to figure out how he could get rid of them quietly until eventually they were sent to prison.

Jay is very protective and caring over Hosuh, probably because Stephen shares such a connection with him. He's also protective over his friends, so he will keep his word and protect Hosuh if something were to happen to Stephen.

Annabelle Melodify
He and Ann don't talk much, but he seems to not have a problem with her at all and enjoys her company when she does give it.

Magic Nullification / Cancellation
Jay has one of the Magical Pins the staff has, which is to prevent magic usage on academy grounds. His pin in its normal form can be tapped by him and it'll cancel / null magic in a 10-20 foot radius of him.

In its elemental form, it's a fire that cannot burn, harm, or more or less do anything besides look pretty and cancel magic. It produces no smoke once so ever and cancels magic around the flames. There is a very dull heat to it, but nothing that can harm or burn someone.

This is used to stop the magic that is widespread physically. (ie. Magic Plants, Other Magical Fire, things that are not directly close to the person.) It can also cancel out the normal fire as well.

Fire/Heat Manipulation
Jay is a fire elemental, powers inherited from his mother's side. He can control and manipulate fire and heat, more specifics down below.

Heat Transfer / Heat withstandment
Jay can transfer heat onto another object or person, he can also transfer it onto himself. He can withstand heat at any temperature and avoid burns easily, seen when he held a pan coming straight from the oven in the Ko house.

Fire/Heat Creation
Jay has been seen sometimes lighting candles without a lighter, or just simply covering the wick by his hand does the job. He's also been seen in the Ko house heating up a pan more to cook cupcakes fully rather than putting them back in the oven.

This is a result of his fire/heat creation, he can spawn and manipulate fire at his will, along with heat. He can spread fire or dull it into almost nothing. Same with heat, it's not shown often but could come in handy.
