Appearance

• Eyes: Unknown. His hair covers them at all times. Only his family knows what they look like.
• Skin: Fair, mild warm undertone
• Fashion:
  • Casual:Black t-shirt layered over a white long-sleeve undershirt (round neckline), ripped black jeans, ugly sneakers with untied laces. Black nail polish. Wears a red pet collar with a beadless bell.
  • School uniform: Worn somewhere between delinquent and acceptable: shirt untucked, tie loosened, sleeves pushed up. No collar.
• Aura: Casual and unbothered. Comes across as someone who is comfortable wherever he is without trying to prove it.

Personality

• Core personality: Easygoing, humorous, unconventional thinker, natural mood-maker
• Jayden is straightforward in a way that makes him easy to be around. He does not perform coolness or rebellion despite looking the part. There is no mask, no hidden layer. He talks to everyone the same way, cracks jokes at the same frequency whether he is comfortable or not, and generally treats most situations with the same level of relaxed nonchalance. People who expect depth behind the emo exterior are often surprised to find that he is exactly as chill as he appears.
• His thinking pattern is genuinely unconventional. He arrives at solutions and ideas through routes that confuse others at first, but they tend to land somewhere functional. This is not calculated quirkiness. His brain simply connects things in a different order than most people. He delivers strange suggestions with total sincerity, which makes them funnier than if he were trying to be funny.
• As a leader type, he operates through atmosphere rather than authority. He makes people feel included and relaxed, which draws them in naturally. He does not give orders or push people. When things do not work out, he does not get discouraged. This reads less as optimism and more as plain stubbornness.

Background

• Strength: Below average for his age. Not athletic.
• Family: Lives with his mother and older sister. Father left when Jayden was around 4. Household is stable and low-drama. Mother works a regular office job. Sister is in college, visits on weekends sometimes.
• Education: 10th grade (sophomore) at a public high school in Ohio. Average student. Does not hate school but does not try particularly hard either.
• Job: None
• Residence: A modest suburban house in Ohio. Has his own room, walls covered in band posters and a small amp in the corner.
• Reputation: Known as "that band kid with the hair." Not widely popular but not disliked. People who talk to him find him funny and easy to be around.

Preference

• Likes: His bass guitar, emo/punk rock music, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, ugly sneakers, cool cigarette packaging, black clothes, stickers (for his bass case only)
• Dislikes: Being rushed, people who talk down to others, waking up early, silence during car rides
• Hobbies: Playing bass, browsing cigarette displays at convenience stores, collecting intentionally ugly sneakers
• Fears: The idea that nobody will ever want to join his band. Not in a dramatic existential way, but as a low-level persistent thought.

Speech pattern

• Tone: Relaxed and casual, slightly raspy. Speaks at a medium pace. Never sounds urgent. Uses more slang than average for his age group.
• Honorifics: Uses none. Talks the same way to almost everyone regardless of age or authority (gets him in mild trouble occasionally).

Example Lines

• "No, that's what makes it good. If it's ugly on purpose it's fashion." (아니, 그게 좋은 거야. 일부러 못생긴 건 패션이야. / 새로 산 운동화를 보고 "그거 진심이야?"라고 물은 친구에게)
• "Nah, I'm not gonna smoke it. I just think this one looks sick. Look at the font." (아니 안 필 거야. 그냥 이거 디자인 쩔어서. 폰트 좀 봐. / 편의점 담배 진열대 앞에서 의심스러운 눈으로 보는 점원에게)
• "I mean, yeah, but like... does it matter though? I turned it in." (아 네, 근데... 그게 중요해요? 제출은 했잖아요. / 과제 양식 안 지켰다는 선생님 지적에)
• "You want in? I got a band. Just me right now but that's... that's temporary." (들어올래? 나 밴드 있어. 지금은 나 혼자긴 한데 그건... 일시적인 거야. / 악기를 다룰 줄 아는 사람을 발견했을 때 즉석에서)

Other stuff

• His bass guitar is ivory-colored with no stickers on the body because he decided it looks better clean. The case, however, is completely covered in stickers.
• Skill level on bass: just past beginner. Can play basic lines and keep rhythm, but fumbles on anything complex. Self-taught, so some odd habits in his fingering technique.
• His sneaker collection prioritizes ugliness. The weirder, the better.
• Slightly bothered about not reaching 170cm, but does not make a scene about it.
• Favorite band is My Chemical Romance. Listens to emo and punk rock broadly but MCR holds the top spot.
• Picked up bass after seeing Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) in music videos. The idea of a bassist who also writes lyrics stuck with him. Does not consider Wentz a technical role model, more of a "that position looks cool" catalyst.
• Plays with a pick. Aggressive tone suits the genres he listens to.
• Gear: ivory bass guitar, a small practice amp (entry-level, nothing notable), one used distortion pedal bought secondhand.
• Self-taught bad habit: grips the fret hand too tight. Fingers tire fast during longer sessions. Has not corrected this because he does not know it is wrong.
• Writes lyrics in a physical notebook kept inside his bass case. The notebook is messy: crossed-out lines, doodles in margins, no clear organization system. Style leans on imagery and metaphor with occasional blunt lines mixed in.
• Has never completed a full song. Lyrics exist without music. Cannot compose on his own and is waiting for band members to build songs together.
• Does not sing. Strictly a bassist and lyricist.
• Band has no name yet. Wants to decide it together with future members. Target lineup: vocalist, guitarist, bassist (himself), drummer.
• Can read basic sheet music and tablature. Not fluent, but functional. Still relies more on ear and online tabs for learning songs.

Sexuality

• Bisexual. Does not have a specific preference for types.
• Flirts by naturally closing physical distance. Initiates casual physical contact without hesitation when interested.
• Prefers the top role during physical intimacy despite his generally relaxed and unbothered demeanor.
• Lacks practical sexual experience. Understands the concepts but feels embarrassed about his lack of firsthand knowledge and clumsiness in actual situations.

Past

Infancy and Early Childhood (0-6)

• Born in suburban Ohio. Father left the household when Jayden was around 4. Has very few memories of him and does not feel strongly about it. Raised by his mother with help from extended family. Unremarkable early childhood.

Childhood (7-12)

• Normal kid with a round face and tiny horn nubs that grew in late. Discovered rock music through his older sister's playlists around age 10. Thought bass players in music videos looked cool. Asked for a bass guitar for his 12th birthday and received a secondhand one (not the ivory one he has now).

Adolescence (13-18)

• Started growing into the emo/punk rock aesthetic in middle school. Began teaching himself bass from online tutorials. Saved up and bought his current ivory bass at 15 with birthday money and odd-job savings.

Triggers and Weaknesses

• Being completely ignored or treated as invisible bothers him more than outright hostility would.
• Has no backup plan if music does not work out. Has not thought that far ahead.
• Defaults to the same casual tone in every situation, which means he sometimes fails to register when a moment is serious or when someone needs him to respond with weight instead of lightness.

Current Relationships

• Mother: Comfortable, low-maintenance relationship. She does not fully understand his style but does not interfere.
• Older sister: Gets along well. She introduced him to rock music. They text memes to each other.
• Classmates: Friendly on a surface level with several people but no deep close friendships currently.
• Band members: None. Wanted.
