4) Also, his brother calls him J, and that is really cute. :3

5) The Father's Day vote incentive said that Jonan's dad is a captain in Rusanne's military. So he seems to be relatively well-heeled.
6) In the Mother's day vote incentive, Jonan says that "my parents are dead to me". Sooooo I'm betting that his brother is in the same category.
7) Jonan trained with Loa at a young age, and Loa lives pretty far from Rusanne. So he was away from home for a long stretch of time at a young age, maybe 7-10 years old.
8) He was skilled enough to summon a long-term, semi-independent zombie in his late teens, so my guess is that he started dabbling in necromancy at...geez, thirteen or fourteen. Some kids dye their hair black and write poetry, but Jonan was creating zombies. Everyone's different, I suppose.

omg I love that you guys are enjoying all these little snippets as much as I do!! *u*
a minor point on 7) -- We don't know how old/young Jonan was when he knew Loa! Jonan's guard calls Loa "an old friend" but all Jonan has said is that he studied under the half-muulorn.
8) man there's no reason he can't raise the dead in a shambling mockery of life AND write angsty poetry, I mean, those things sort of complement each other nicely

Oh man, now all I can imagine is teenage Jonan scribbling away at mournful poetry about how he's a failure at life because he accidentally created a necropony that has semi-free will and loves him to pieces XD

"The Runewriters fans
Are writing angsty poems
Under my own name."
"Such a grave insult
that I just made a death pun.
Make the fandom stop."
Let's get #fakeJonanAngstPoetrySlam trending, y'all!
(And, Shazzbaa, you're the one who said that angsty poems and raising the dead go hand-in-hand. Don't blame us.

I'm making a promise to all Runewriter fans. For every page Jonan is in, I will write one haiku describing his thoughts.

Okay so thanks to the voting incentive we now know;
1) Jonan still looked pretty normal when he was 17.
2) He was still living at home or at least was still close enough for his bro to pop in at random.
3) At least at that point, he was still on talking terms with his brother (don't really know if they're still on good terms in the present).
*slowly putting small pieces of everybody's backstories together, hurray! :D*
