~~Jaimes~~ (played by Marie)

He's beauty, he's grace, he'll... probably try to buy your friendship because he doesn't know how else to do it, but hey, let it never be said that Jaimes Scrote isn't a misguided sweetheart.

Okay, okay, before you run off because I'm clearly a dork and you probably should, give me a chance!

Fun facts:
- Jaimes is only 20 years old, so if you're not into playing with younger characters that's cool with me, go ahead and move along! No hurt feelings.
- Jaimes is an Undercover Supernatural and while I am fine with plotting discovery/blackmail from this I would prefer we discuss it oocly first so that all parties agree upon methods of discovery and whatnot.
- He likes long swims at the beach and collecting shiny rocks and seashells. He's a friendly guy who plays a lot of video games, doesn't know how to form substantial friendships, and overall is at risk of being majorly taken advantage of. He's fun. Have fun with him.

Seeking:
For the sake of space I'm gonna casually collapse all of these.

Distant Dad

I'm playing under the idea that Jaimes' father is a lawyer turned politician. He's been harboring a supernatural son all of this time, and there's a lot of strain between them. On the one hand, he blames himself for what Jaimes is. If he hadn't knocked up some.. weird were-otter lady, who he still occasionally meets up with for fun, then Jaimes could just live a normal life. As it stands? Jaimes is a constant let down. He's not human. He doesn't have both eyes. He didn't wanna become a lawyer. He's "going through the gay phase". It's a lot of denial and misdirected anger at the fact that he isn't sure he'll always be able to protect his son. I expect this to all be accurately portrayed in roleplay; gimme arguments. Gimme a lack of affection despite a deepset love that he can't seem to express. Gimme a dad who cares but doesn't know how to express it in a healthy way, so he constantly pushes his son and throws money at him (Jaimes had to get his bad habits somewhere). For the most part the character is open. He's HUMAN, he's distant with his son. Politician. Otherwise? All yours to develop!

Elder Brother

By only a few years. Think of him as the go between when it comes to Jaimes and their father. He's got a close relationship with both, is constantly playing ref for them. Follows in dad's foot steps, essentially the golden child, but he and Jaimes have a pretty tight relationship. He knows a lot about the shit Jaimes does behind their fathers back, and while he doesn't always approve he's ALWAYS looking out for Jaimes.

Other Family

There's always the mother, though up until this point she's largely avoided any sort of interaction with her son. There's a sister, who's the twin of his older brother. They don't have as close of a relationship. I figure she's the one who picks at him the most, maybe. Other otters welcome, too. Who knows, maybe he has a brother who's a year or so younger.

Bad Friends

Jaimes throws his money around pretty freely. I like to joke that he'd make a great sugar daddy, just without the daddy aspect. He opens himself up to a lot of shitty, one sided friendships this way. Totally down for him to have some friends who use him and manipulates him.

Supernatural Rights

He can't be super out there in the open about this, but if your character wants to set up some sort of side campaign that needs funding or an anonymous supporter, Jaimes is here for you. He's also here to twist your character very, very carefully into supporting the things he wants. He can definitely flatter and schmooze. His father is a politician, and a lawyer. He knows all about how to make it sound like he's giving you everything you want when hes' the one making all the progress.

Actual Friends

Jaimes is a really sweet boy! He deserves some actual positivity in his life. He plays a lot of online video games, goes out a lot, attends community college off and on. Lets casually meet or discuss an already existing friendship, yeah?

Water Buddies

As stated earlier, he loves swimming. Loves the ocean. Loves rivers. Will hop into a pool if the owners are away. I'm sure he's bound to meet plenty of other water critters. Lets hang out and be sekrit swim pals.

Blackmail

This is an eventual thing. As in definitely not for some time. Someone finds out what Jaimes is, and proceeds to hold it over his head. His fathers career would be destroyed if it came out. His life would change dramatically. Everything he's worked at would be undone. You'll have him at your mercy. What you choose to do with this is up to you, but I would appreciate discussion first.

I'll be adding things as I think of them! Whisper me in game on Pockets, Jaimes or Atreus Vertis if you're interested, or feel free to hit me here on RPR! Thanks for reading.
