Jumper
The pseudo-official title of the heroes. Some hold the title officially, giving them access to all the perks of being a Jumper, while others have the title honorarily, given to them by civilians but not giving them access to the Core.
Appointment
Prior to the Purge, becoming a Jumper was as simple as joining current Jumpers on their mission to save the planet and protect the Core.
After the Purge, Jumper became a more strictly regulated position. Would-be Jumpers now must go through a rigorous vetting process in order to gain the perks that come with being an official Jumper. Despite this, many civilians still refer to people who regularly adventure with the Jumpers as Jumpers themselves, despite the title being honorary.

Responsibilities
Jumpers are responsible for protecting the Core from misuse or abuse. On a wider level they also protect the planet from outside threats. However, the group as an organization are strictly unrelated to any country on the planet, avoiding political ties and sometimes clashing with their home country in the interest of protecting the Core. Outside of these duties, Jumpers are allowed to pursue whatever positions or jobs they want, leading to some members being important to both their country and the Jumper collective. High level Jumpers often make semi-regular visits to the Core or surrounding access points to ensure it is safe, while low level Jumpers tend to function more as reserves, acting when the planet is in danger or when a direct threat to the Core has been identified.
Benefits
Being a Jumper gives you the right to access the Core on a semi-regular basis. However, Jumpers are not required to do so, and several choose not to use the Core for various reasons.
History
Founded during the Arbolisk Civil War, the Jumpers were originally just a faction under DJ's command. At some point, a mishearing of "Juniper's" as "jumpers", compounded with hastily-written notes of the same type of mistake, the group became known as "the jumpers", with DJ at their head.
