OOC: Character meme
I actually filled this out once already, but then I lost power and lost it. So, I'm gonna try again.
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Jay is very thin and rather short, about 5'1".
2. How old is he? 16
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch? He carries himself well, from what we can see.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? He's pretty fit, considering he's a fighter who specializes in speed, backflips, and breakdancing. His pale skin doesn't look healthy, but they never explain why he looks that way. So we just assume he's healthy.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Jay's movements are very fluid, and also graceful albeit awkward.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? He's got the cute appearance, but one wouldn't call him "attractive" in that way. There are no mirrors, so there's no way to perceive himself.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Very clear, light, and pale. Like a ghostly white complexion.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. Black hair, long and fine. He keeps it in a ponytail on his left side of his head.
9. What color are his eyes? Plum
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? Not really.
11. What are his chief tension centers? I…have no idea.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit? You could describe his default wardrobe as weird. Purple outfit with stars and circled-in dots. His sneakers are rather large. If you count the extra costumes in the game, he does have a formal suit with a blue jacket and white shorts, and a purple kitty mascot costume.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them? His clothes appear rather loose (especially in his official art, yuck). He does seem comfortable in them, however.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences? Yeah, he sticks with his purple outfit with stars.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? I'd have to say briefs. Boxers wouldn't look good with his black stockings.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Very deep and very sweet.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? He speaks clearly and evenly, though he'll stutter occasionally when presented with an embarrassing subject…
Moses: Which one of the girls is your fave?
Jay: O.O Wh…what kind of a question is that?
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? No accent or quirks of any kind.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? He speaks English or Japanese, depending on which version of the game you play.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? Not at all.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? He always knows just what to say.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? He's very eloquent.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart? He's very intelligent on the "street-smart" level. It's hard to tell about his book-smarts, though. He does seem knowledgeable of many subjects.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate? He prefers time to deliberate, but he's just as good at thinking on his feet.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? He's more of a logical, practical thinker.
4. What kind of education has the character had? Does learning how to be a cold-blooded assassin count? As far as academic schooling is concerned, the canon doesn't even touch that. At least we know he can read and write.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about? Strategies, gathering information. He would be interested to learn more about social subjects.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert? Very introverted.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? He's pretty even-tempered most of the time, but when subjects of his past or family arise, he becomes melancholy.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? He becomes curious as far as people are concerned. For bad situations, he'll get on the job right away to fix it.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react? He's more likely to act.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight? That's a tough one. He's confident in his abilities, so he wouldn't back down from a challenge. Yet if the battle is looking bad, he'll make a "strategic withdrawal."
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? Jay can prank to the extreme, his pranks are dangerous, but at least there's a 50% chance of survival.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them? One might diagnose post traumatic stress disorder, but if he was raised a certain way, it wouldn't really be a disorder.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person? His childhood overall, and then being cared for by the Oresoren. Traveling with Senel's group has also allowed him to develop.
14. What does he fear? His cruel master, being alone.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations? His only real aspiration is to live to the fullest.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? His past.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents. He has no relationship, since his parents abandoned him as a baby.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? No siblings.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand? No blood relatives either.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them? The Oresoren are the only family he's ever had. He cares for them deeply, and won't hesitate to protect them from harm. Or he'll scold them if they even consider doing something dangerous. The Oresoren, in turn, will do anything to protect Jay.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet? I don't think he actually singles out any of the main cast to be his "best friend," so on that note, he has seven best friends: Senel Coolidge, Shirley Fennes, Will Raynard, Chloe Valens, Norma Beatty, Moses Sandor, and Grune. Jay initially met Senel in the Werites Beacon plaza, tricking him into fighting the Bantam Bouncers. Jay met the others while Senel was traveling with them.
6. Does he have other close friends? Perhaps the friends of his friends? i.e. Will's daughter Harriet, Chloe's friend Elsa, Moses' sidekick Csaba…
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people? He has a hard time making friends due to his cynical nature and devious pranks.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends? Family. His friends aren't just friends; they're family, too.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once? Totally single, most likely 4 EVAR.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? Nope.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest? No crushes.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner? I don't think he wants a romantic partner.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any? No children/grandchildren. He wouldn't want any now.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies? His rival would be Moses for bickering purposes. Senel would make a decent rival in combat, too. For enemies, definitely his cruel master Solon.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale? Who knows?
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him? He doesn't really factor sex into anything.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? N/A
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type? We don't know.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? I'd say spiritual. He recognizes Nerifes as the source of his power, but he doesn't worship it fully like the Ferines do.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Not really.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? He's pretty tolerant.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them? He'd be prejudiced towards stupid people. They just annoy him and get in his way.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? He seems comfortable.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? He's changed quite a bit. Over the course of the canon, especially after his CQ, he becomes much more open, and much more honest with his feelings.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? On the Legacy, he lives in a village within a cave with the Oresoren. In Luceti, he lives alone in an apartment.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? Perhaps weapons?
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? He makes his living as an information dealer, and he's very good at it.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? He spends his free time with Senel's group, either at a picnic or a party of some kind.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? I'd say his eating habits are pretty normal. He would avoid alcohol, because getting drunk makes people act stupid, and again, Jay doesn't like stupid people.

1. Color? Purple
