Juno Steel - Private Eye



Juno Steel

I'm not the same lady I was a year ago and I'm not going to throw myself into traffic for a quarter shot at doing good. Because, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm better alive than dead. Which I have mixed feelings about.

a pedantic detective

"How do you like your whiskey, Jay?"
"With an active desire to do me harm."
"I asked about your whiskey, not your men, but fine."





BACKGROUND

Juno spent the first four years of his life living in Halcyon with his mother, Sarah Steel, and his twin brother, Benzaiten. After his mother lost her job and "got bad," his family moved to Oldtown, a derelict area of Hyperion City, where he met his childhood friends Mick Mercury and Sasha Wire.

Juno’s mother was an alcoholic and abusive towards both of her children, Juno especially, even going so far as to try to convince Benzaiten their misery was Juno's fault. Juno frequently ran away from home, escaping into the Oldtown sewers and befriending the mutated rabbits there. Unable to see Sarah as anything other than a monster, Juno moved out, but Benten stayed with her. When Sarah eventually killed Benten after mistaking him for his brother, she called Juno over to her apartment and confessed.

He eventually became part of the notably corrupt Hyperion City Police Department (HCPD) to try and do good in the world. He had been accepted into the HCPD at the time of Benten's death. He met his secretary, Rita, on his first day as a detective partnered with Det. Puck Falco. He won the HCPD sharpshooting contest three years in a row. He made it as far as squad captain there, but he only lasted for a day as such, after apparently botching a case involving his precinct's own Captain Hijikata. Juno and Rita eventually went on to establish their own private detective firm.



PERSONALITY

Detective Juno Steel is practically a walking noir trope: stubborn, cynical, gets into a lot of trouble, and usually pisses people off within five minutes of first meeting him. Underneath all that, however, is a person who struggles with the state of the world and really wants to make a difference. No matter what, Juno has always strived to “do good”... and he's got a bit of a martyr complex. He struggles with depression and the hardships of his childhood and life in Hyperion City, where his fiancée left him and he lost his job at the HCPD, have not helped this.

Juno hangs on to this kind of romantic idea of being a hero, of being able to “do good”—saving or helping others and making sure that they can’t be hurt again. He thinks that if he tried to help other people, maybe, just maybe, he’d be able to stop himself from hurting them. He considers himself the hero of his own story, the protagonist, the one who has to be better than the bad guys in order to win. However, this need to help other people also feeds into his self-destructive tendencies. Juno is frequently reckless, throwing himself in harm's way if it means that someone else won’t get hurt. It’s heavily implied that Juno sometimes actively seeks out harm. The only time that Juno allows himself to feel “good” is when he thinks he is actively working to save people.

When he fails to rescue someone or when his actions inadvertently lead to someone getting hurt, he feels immense guilt. Even if he only had a small role, Juno almost always blames himself for the whole incident. He even blames himself for Annie Wire's death, despite the fact that he and his friends all contributed to her death and the fact that they were all thirteen years old at the time. Of course, it’s easier for him to admit and believe that he's a terrible person instead of trying to support his friend Sasha Wire who still mourns her little sister. When he’s in these depressive spirals, he frequently drowns his guilt in whiskey until he passes out, something he inherited from his mother. His fear of hurting other people also leads him to push other people away before he has the chance to hurt them.

As cynical as Juno is, there is a part of him that wishes and hopes that there is some good in the world. Even when all hope seems to be lost, he wants to be able to help others. Juno wants to believe that, maybe, just maybe, not everything is terrible and that he might be worth something to someone out there, which is why his work as a private eye takes up almost every aspect of his life. His cynicism wavers sometimes when he feels that there's something to be hopeful about, such as Peter Nureyev or the prospect of the Free Dome existing. However, he shies away from staying with Peter and decides to stay in Hyperion City, because he thinks that he could save the city.



ABILITIES

Juno is a renowned sharpshooter, having won the sharpshooting contest for the HCPD three years in a row. Several people have made remarks on him being able to make shots otherwise thought to be "impossible." Juno is also an excellent detective, poking his nose into places it doesn't belong, making astute observations and deducing the truth based on them. However, his attitude frequently gets in his way and he's been pissing people off "for the last 39 years."
