Personality: A lot of people like Jay. A lot of people don't like Jay. There's a pretty equal number of them. Probably because he's got a good side. For one, he's a hard worker. He's working hard to get his new shoe company up, keep up his carer as a singer song writer, and continues to paint. He's pretty personable most of the times. He loves being around people and tries to get along with just about anyone.
But sometimes he drives people nuts. He's partially an attention whore, always doing crazy stunts and shit to try and get attention. Also, he has a tendency to slut around. He will sleep with anyone he finds attractive, which is a surprisingly large number of people. But, then again, most people in NYC are incredibly attractive. He also doesn't exactly work well with others. Sure, he get along with most, but he doesn't like taking orders or having things not go his way.
History:
Jay was a difficult baby. First, he almost killed his mom on the way out and his first few months were extremely sickly. As he got better and started moving more, it became worse. Sometimes, he would just disappear, hiding in cabinets, escaping from cribs, once or twice ending up on the wrong side of the fence during recess. All t even hat began to slow down though as he hit elementary school. He was on the chubby side, awkward, and couldn't make conversation with other kids. Mentally, his growth pattern stunted, turning into childhood depression and even a few minor panic attacks.
When he reached middle school, things weren't any better. No longer was he chubby, but instead, straight up fat. Girls teased him. Boys taunted him. Hell, even teachers didn't really know how to deal with the shy fat kid. The school's consoler recommended a shrink and some sort of creative medium for expressing his deeper feelings and stress. His parents agreed, not knowing what else to do. Jay's elder brother's were golden boys, athletes, and exactly like the kind of kids that would pick on him at school. First, he tried guitar, but his fingers were too chubby. Then, piano, but it was hard for him to stay focused infront of the keys. Finally, they settled on voice, seeing as there was something to work with there.
High school was the same routine in the beginning. Besides being fat, awkward, and shy, there became a new addition to torment. Jay's father was the school principle. More often, he suffered panic attacks. His therapist perscribed him Xanax, a medicine that is easily addicting. Just the feeling it gave him left him wanting more. When he took it, he wasn't shy. He had energy and confidence. Naturally, it lead him to other things. First, there was pot. It made him feel good, but not the energy and rush he was looking for. Ecstasy was next, and a lot more fitting. From there, it just went on. He lost weight, made friends, even found himself in a band. Life was looking up, and high school was ending. All he had to do was make the decision to go to college far away, or some place close by home. Jay chose neither. He didn't apply to any schools, but instead moved to an apartment Los Angeles to pursue the music carer and the night life it had.
Things went down hill really, really fast. One night he wound up at his grandparents house, passed out, an empty bottle of prescription pills in his pocket and some left over cocaine in the other. His parents drove out to meet him, automatically taking him to rehab. In the beginning he fought it, but for 40 days he cleaned himself up.
It also took 40 days for him to tear it down. Quickly, he moved back to New York. He's just as crazy as ever, aspiring to be a shoe designer, an artist, and a musician. Most people end up knowing him in some way, even if he's not famous. He gets around, slutting himself out with just about anyone attractive and trying to show his products to everyone. Some people love him, some people hate him. It doesn't deem to mater to Jay though.
.You.
