Character Profiles: Bounty Hunters!
This is the seventh of an extended series of profiles for the characters of Jupiter Ascending. Since the film’s plot is quite involved and incorporates many double crosses and deceptions, I felt it would be helpful to set out what we know about the characters (back stories and roles in the film). Once all of the profiles are finished I’ll make a huge master poster with all of the character write-ups; it should make a handy guide for any aspiring fic writers out there!
Ibis (David Ajala) - One of the bounty hunters sent by Balem’s agent to kill Jupiter. He wears a leather outfit that leaves part of his chest exposed, and his skin has a slight glitter effect. Along with Razo and Falque, Ibis traces Jupiter's gene print to the fertility clinic, where he and his fellow bounty hunters get into a fight with Caine. After the fight, Ibis reveals to Razo that he has been contacted by an agent working for Kalique Abrasax and persuades her to team up with him and take Jupiter (alive) to Kalique for a better reward. After Jupiter and Caine escape to the country the bounty hunters track them down, ambushing them at Stinger's house. Ibis kills Falque in the cornfields before the latter can eliminate Jupiter, and he and Razo take Jupiter to Kalique's homeworld Cerise. They are rewarded with Regenex, and after tasting it to check that it's pure they take off with their reward in pursuit of a better life.
Razo (Doona Bae) - One of the bounty hunters sent by Balem’s agent to kill Jupiter. She has vivid blue/purple hair and flower tattoos on her face. Along with Ibis and Falque, Razo traces Jupiter's gene print to the fertility clinic, where she and her fellow bounty hunters get into a fight with Caine. She appears to be close to Ibis, and agrees to partner with him when they are offered a deal by Kalique that improves on the offer made by Balem. After Jupiter and Caine escape to the country the bounty hunters track them down, ambushing them at Stinger's house. In the cornfields, Razo uses her cloaked speeder to shoot down the creatures preparing to kill Jupiter; she looks on as Ibis kills Falque, and they kidnap Jupiter and take her to Kalique's homeworld Cerise. They are rewarded with Regenex, and after tasting it to check that it's pure they take off with their reward in pursuit of a better life.
Falque (Spencer Wilding) - One of the bounty hunters sent by Balem’s agent to kill Jupiter. He wears an eye-patch and possesses a powerful gun capable of flattening terrain and knocking targets straight off their feet, stunning them. He, Ibis and Razo trace Jupiter's gene print to the fertility clinic, where they get into a fight with Caine. After Jupiter and Caine escape to the country the bounty hunters track them down, ambushing them at Stinger's house. Falque uses his gun on Jupiter in a chase through a cornfield, knocking her to the ground. Before he can kill her he is double-crossed by Ibis and Razo, who team up against him after accepting a superior offer from Kalique. He is shot dead by Ibis.
If you feel there’s anything I have left out/got wrong, please let me know! I’d like these profiles to be as comprehensive as possible.
