Description

 “It’s not a dress, it’s a tunic! A TUNIC!” ~ Venturian

~~~~~

Name: Jordan David Frye

Side (Minecraft): Main Protagonist

Nicknames/Labels/Thing’s he’s been called (Minecraft): My Little Adventurer (mom), J (Isaac), Jordy (some home villagers, friends, and family), The Wanderer (other villagers), The Blue Guy (one certain village…), Hero (various villagers), and, of course, [eventually] Venturian (himself).

  • These names, among others, were given to Jordan throughout his life in Minecraft between traveling and living in his home village. There are more but I don’t want to spoil ALL the fun bits…

Age (story-wise): 23

Gender: Male

Personality (Minecraft): Jordan’s personality and behavior changes over the course of time. As the centuries pass, and as each Tale goes by, his behavior steadily becomes more erratic and ‘crazier’. Since Minecraft is the first Tale in the timeline, character-wise Jordan’s personality is nearly identical to Jordan’s in real life. The only difference is that he acts more like an actual villager, real-life adventurer, and protective big brother than the random insane guy he appears to be on camera—even though he is still pretty random and insane, just more realistically so.

He’s slightly more docile and calm while retaining a similar air of ‘insanity’ that we all have come to enjoy from the VT crew. In Minecraft he is the funny, light-hearted guy. Being the eldest male in the household he often falls into the role as ‘leader’ or ‘protector' of his family, regardless of his often childish and sometimes ‘chicken-ish’ behavior. He is the Hero who sometimes (ha-ha always) acts like a younger kid but knows when to take charge when he needs to. He is the average charismatic dude, protective big bro, and town defender trying to make a life in medieval times.

Voice: Character-Jordan here has ‘two’ voices. One is based off his real life voice while the other is based off how real-Jordan has a tendency to deepen his voice whenever he ‘sings’ on the channel. This is because character-Jordan has a voice that sounds like real-Jordan’s regular voice, but is able to deepen his voice while singing for certain effects. It also deepens or ‘darkens’ when he gets angry or wants to appear threatening. It works very well. He can also sing using both voices. Yes, character-Jordan can sing.

  • Real Life Jordan’s Voice (for comparison): www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqI9vq…

    • I recommend, if you want to compare, open both the regular character voice song and this video and click play on both. As they play you can compare the voices as Jordan talks and the singer sings. You can even try it with the deeper voice, just to see the difference.

  • Regular Character Voice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L3R0o…

    • I tried to find a close match for Jordan’s actual voice with this one. It’s as close as I could get to a singer with similar vocals to what I was imagining as well as sounding close to the actual Jordan. Also, imagine character-Jordan singing this to real-life Venturian. It’s fun to imagine.

    • …and I think that the song really fits the actual Jordan, don’t you agree?

  • Deep Voice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Fhto…

    • Lyrics for this song are in the description. This voice was based off of how Jordan’s voice deepens when he sings certain songs. This particular voice was compared to how his voice deepened to sing the Lights Zeron song during one of his videos.

    • This singer has a voice that is both calm yet captivating in a way, which is a talent that I wanted character-Jordan to have while also keeping that little Jordan flare to it.

    • Also, if character-Jordan was actually singing this, he would be singing about GMod/Fallout. Don’t take the lyrics in a literal sense; think of them figuratively. Symbolically, with some lyrics. Maybe you’ll be able to figure something out about the GMod storyline from this, if you look hard enough…

    • Here is the Lights Zeron song if you want to compare the deep voice to it. It’s kind of different but the voice is there in the beginning before he begins to become high pitched again. It’s probably not the best example but I’m sure you guys get the point. (Hehe POINT) www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFaoVC…

Minecraft Bio.: Minecraft is the very first Tale in the VenturianTale timeline. Therefore it serves as Venturian’s humble beginnings. It is the time period that character-Jordan was born and grew up in before he became the Hero, Venturian.

  • Adventuring: Before the main storyline, character-Jordan lives in a regular medieval village based on Minecraft and real-life villages. He is the local traveler, the person who goes out to neighboring villages to lend a hand—or more often a sword—to those who ask for it.  He also tends to go off on crazy, random adventures hat are usually based off news he’s heard from other travelers or local tales. Jordan is known to disappear on such trips and adventures for various amounts of time, a single quest sometimes taking hours or days while others last for weeks or rarely even months.

  • Over the years Jordan’s made a name for himself among the nearby villages, often being labeled as a Hero. More often than not due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time Jordan has found himself in many a terrifying situation, facing off against various monsters and defending citizens of neighboring villages.

  • He usually sets off alone, but sometimes his younger brother Isaac tags (or follows secretly) along. Very rarely does he travel with Cierra or Bethany, seeing as Cierra usually likes going it alone and how Bethany tends to stay in the village. Sometimes Jordan would join another traveler for an adventure or two. That or he would end up with a random person or two from a village tagging along.

  • Tommy and Work: At home Jordan works at the local forge with Tommy as a weapons smith. Tommy was Jordan’s mentor and was the one who taught him basically all his sword fighting and building knowledge.  Due to character-Jordan’s fathers absence because of *spoiler :b*, Tommy has become a sort of father figure to Jordan. Jordan looks up to Tommy and the two get along really well. With Tommy’s constant teasing and Jordan’s goofy nature there is never a dull moment when the two are working together. Jordan has also picked up on Tommy’s storytelling skills due to the fact that the elder is an awesome storyteller and is constantly talking about some memory, Tall Tale, or something along those lines.

  • Home: Character-Jordan lives in a simple two-story house with his mother and younger siblings. The house is located on the very edge of town right near the wheat fields. He was born into the medieval middle-class, so his family isn’t rich, nor is it particularly poor. Even when money begins to become a problem Jordan’s traveling always resolves the issue, either through things he’s brought back, generous gifts, or pay for his services and help.

  • The family owns a barn and small plot of land for a small animal pasture behind their house. It’s Jordan and Isaac’s job to take care of the animals. The pasture houses a small herd of cows that Jordan often spends a lot of time with when at home. Oftentimes Jordan could be found inside the cow pasture brushing one of the cows and talking about random stuff to it. He does this with his horse, Buttercup, too, who shares a stable with Isaac’s horse Night (and eventually a foal named Misty) inside the barn. The barn also contains five chickens and two sheep, of which Jordan is glad to be in charge of making sure are healthy and happy.

  • Being one of the most experienced with the outside world, coupled with the fact that he has the title of best youngest swordsman to ever be a part of the towns local defense system, Jordan is often called upon to teach younger kids how to handle a weapon. When not off on an adventure he often spends his time hopping between his job at the smithy and training new Centurions—which are what the local guards are called—while attempting to get some extra Z’s in before his next big adventure.

  • Music is also a big part of Minecraft culture. Because of this, all four of the siblings, including Jordan, can sing. This is a reference to how much music is a part of the real life siblings lives. They constantly sing during their videos and Jordan can even play the piano. This is why his voice can change—it is both due to his personality as well as the fact that the piano is an instrument that can be both slow and fast like a high or deep voice. Oftentimes character-Jordan can be seen humming or singing random tunes while doing his chores or hanging out with the animals at home. He prefers not to sing in public or in front of other people, but gives in to it if bribed or encouraged the right way.

Character Theme (Minecraft): www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pAu0y…

The character theme is not a theme song, per se. It is more of a song that gives you an insight on a characters personality as well as describes the character’s actions during or related to a certain story/game. It emphasizes certain important aspects about the character that can help you to understand both the character as well as his/her position in a certain game/story. The theme can also shed some light or at least hint at a few future happenings in said game/story.

Character Theme Breakdown:

  • In Minecraft Jordan is known as an adventurer. This song emphasizes that adventurous spirit, the lyrics “come on, come on, put your hands into the fire” referring to how he tries to get everyone to see the wonders of adventuring. It also references how he tends to bring along companions (followers) with him during certain adventures.

  • “Explain, explain, as I turn I meet the power…” the power of nature, of magic, and life. Every day in a world like Minecraft everyone faces the wonders and dangers of everyday medieval life.

  • He is someone who travels a lot and faces many impossible odds on a daily basis. “This time, this time, turning white and senses dire / Pull up, pull up, from one extreme to another” Just imagine becoming the Hero the hard way by going out and unintentionally ending up in crazy situations that have you facing off against terrifying foes.

  • The song further delves into Jordan’s adventurous nature by alluding to the places he’s been to and all the things he’s seen as time passes. “From the summer to the spring, from the mountain to the air.” Just imagine all the shenanigans and achievements a real-world Venturian could actually accomplish in a realistic Minecraft world! Imagine all the places a lone Hero could see and all the things he could do in a medieval time of magic and monsters.

  • “From Samaritan to sin, and its waiting on the air” and “now I’m low, I’m looking out, I’m looking in… way down… the lights are dimmer…” represents the fact that adventuring is not always fun, happy, or exciting. It’s not always good. There are sad times, hurtful times, and terrifying times that come with adventuring. Over the years Jordan has seen, done, and been through a lot. Not all of it was a happy experience...

About Design:

  • Necklace: A gift from his father that (story) Jordan’s had all his life. He never takes it off. The V charm is made out of an unknown golden material and the actual necklace is made out of silver. He refers to the item as his lucky charm.

  • Sword & Belt: The sword has a hilt and grip of Obsidian and a blade of Iron. It was crafted by Jordan as a starter project after his lessons at the local Forge with Tommy. This particular sword belt was a hard-earned gift that he attained while traveling. The buckle is shaped like a Play button on a video as a reference to the YouTube channel. His initials are engraved onto the pouch attached to it. Inside the pouch he keeps a compass, his journal (only when traveling or adventuring), a bunch of random maps and papers, and a few other necessities and ‘secret’ items.

  • Hand Wraps: It’s Minecraft. He punches wood, ‘nuff said… Ok, but seriously, he has hand wraps to protect his hands from both the cold during winter months and from punching things. Like wood. And Zombies. Kind of like a boxer’s hand wraps protects his hands from getting too especially hurt or bloody from punching people all day long.

  • Boots: High boots made especially for walking. Because he does a lot of it. Like, a lot, a lot. They also stop him from getting mud, shallow water, and other way more nasty stuff in his shoes or on his pants and feet. Most of the time, at least…

  • Tunic: It’s a blue tunic. Minecraft Villagers wear a tunic, which means that Minecraft Villager Jordan shall too! Its design was inspired by Link’s starting outfit in the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

Other Random Notes:

  • His Minecraft design was heavily influenced by the Zelda series because Ocarina of Time was the sibling’s childhood game.

  • He has really golden brown eyes because real-Jordan has lighter eyes than Isaac. In real life I’ve also noticed that his eyes can sometimes look a little gold in certain lighting. Also his avatar design has golden highlights in his eyes.

  • Contrary to popular belief, Jordan is actually very good with a sword and many other weapons.

  • His combat specialty is close-range, usually with a long-reaching weapon. His weapon of choice is a custom longsword designed with a “hand-and-a-half” grip. This means that the weapon can be used either single-handedly or with two hands. When used with two hands Jordan’s off-hand is over the pommel of the sword, just because he prefers it that way.

  • He can be seen using a crossbow for long-range attacks. It’s not uncommon for him to use a regular bow, either.

  • The little brown bands on his sleeves and the belt were based on Hiccup’s design from the movie How to Train Your Dragon Part 1.

  • His sword sheath is (supposed to be) on the wrong side of his person (I’m pretty sure it is… I can’t tell right now). This is because Jordan is right-handed and the sheath is on the right side of his person. But he enjoys the awkwardness of it so he always uses this particular belt and sheath.

  • He has fallen off Buttercup (his horse) at least 87 times in the first year alone since he got her.

  • He can duel-wield weapons but is terrible at keeping track of two blades. In other words, he isn’t very good at it. Single-handed weapons he is an expert at using.

  • He is not above running from a confrontation.

  • Jordan has a tendency to overreact to things. A lot. He is also very eccentric and goofy. Anybody who’s watched any VenturianTale video with Jordan in it can see that. These three things, combined with him being a talker means that some people will get really annoyed, really fast with him. They learn quickly never to get on his bad side, though...

  • He tries his best to be the good-guy, always ready to help if asked (even if he appears to be apprehensive about it).

  • He is a poor swimmer due to certain comments made by Isaac and Cierra during various Minecraft mods and videos. One of his biggest fears is drowning while off on an adventure.

  • He is a lightweight. Macaroni-and-cheese does a number on him. He does not drink at all, preferring really hard ciders over ale or wine.

  • He has a very, VERY poor sense of time and tends to be late for EVERYTHING. Well, everything except for lunch or dinner. He has a bad habit of sleeping in accidently for breakfast.

  • He tells stories to the younger kids of his village. Often people come to him when they want to hear a good Tale, including adults. He even has a little group of local kids who like to track him down specifically to hear stories about his adventures.

  • He can literally fall asleep ANYWHERE. Even standing up or riding a horse.

  • Jordan is notoriously known for having really, REALLY bad luck. A fact that I plan on exploiting to the fullest throughout every Tale.

Jordan, from the channel, created Venturian as an avatar of sorts for his Minevraft skin. I created this outfit/design of him above to fit in with my FanFic-turned-novel-series :3

The other siblings will also be getting their own outfits with the same style. I already completed Isaac's, so its just the girls that I have to work on now ^_^

Oh! When you go to upload, click the enter text button/link. Then just copy and past your writing into the box and done! Although, if you have things bolded or italicised it wont show up. You have to type in a key/code or something for it to show up. The codes/keys should be at the bottom. You should be able to figure it out.
