Biography
Jake Sully
By the year 2148, Earth's population was about 20,000,000,000 and its resources rapidly depleting, with pollution, famine, poverty and war. Jake lived in a cell-like dilapidated apartment in which his bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were one room. Jake's city recommended its citizens to wear masks to combat its air pollution; he also remarked that simply buying a basic cup of coffee has become ridiculously expensive. Since his veteran benefits were not enough to pay for the surgery to repair his spine due to a highly inflated economy, he was forced to use a wheelchair. After a night of drinking, Jake started a bar fight with a man who struck a woman. After breaking up the fight, the bouncers throw him out into the street where he is approached by two RDA agents. They confirmed his identity and informed him that his identical twin brother, Tom, had been killed in a mugging. His brother was one of the selected few scientists chosen to participate in the Avatar Program and one of even fewer avatar 'drivers'. Tom had trained on Earth for three years in preparation for a tour on Pandora and represented a significant investment on the part of the Resources Development Administration due to the inherent link between the pilot and the avatar he controls, as well as the enormous cost of creating an avatar. Since Jake is genetically identical to his brother, he can link with the avatar, thereby saving the company the cost of creating a new one. After being offered significant compensation, he apprehensively agrees to take over his brother's contract and is put in cryosleep for the trip to Pandora.
