Whether it be from his upbringing or just the way he is, he can't stand untidyness. He will go out of his way to either admonish his cottage-mates or to make things appear as though they're tidy.[/i][/color] [sub]♦[/sub] [color=B8C5B3][i]Baking. He's just not any good at it, despite the many attempts to get his foot in the water. He doesn't like it and assumes it isn't for him.[/i][/color][/sub] [center][color=ece4d5]Likes[/color][/center][sub][sub]♦[/sub] [color=B8C5B3][i]Winter. He loves the cold, especially running out and jogging in the frigid mornings.[/i][/color] [sub]♦[/sub][color=B8C5B3] [i]Sports. He's a huge sports fan, and mostly follows tennis almost religeously. And will often go out of his way to watch his favourite football team play.[/i][/color] [sub]♦[/sub][color=B8C5B3] [i]Cooking.

Having begun his training for the sport at the age of five, encouraged by his mother. He's been trained with both his father, a professional tennis player, and by other famous coaches throughout the world. By the time he was fourteen he was prospected to turn pro at seventeen. However due to his responsibilities to the Academy, he plans to turn pro after he graduates.[/i][/color][/sub] [center][color=ece4d5]gift[/color][/center][sub][sub]♦[/sub] [color=B8C5B3][i]He doesn't know how to describe it, but the best way JD can think of his gift, is seeing the application of basic physics in reality. Although not always perfect, he can predict with extreme accuracy where a ball will land just by looking at how the person threw it and the curve the ball took. He applies this gift to his tennis as well, allowing him to guide the ball wherever he wants by subtly shifting the spacing of his feet or the angle of hips or the way he holds his racket. It's also allowed him to pull off some pretty impressive stunts for social media.[/i][/color][/sub] [/cell][cell][indent][indent][color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]Positive Personality Traits[/color] [indent][sub]♦[/sub][color=82a17d]Friendly. JD is a friendly individual, offering easy smiles to everyone he meets and likes to think of himself as a social butterfly. He laughs easily and likes to put smiles on others faces. And he likes to hang out with just about anyone. So long as he finds them interesting and equally friendly, he'll chill with them.[/color][/indent] [indent][sub]♦[/sub][color=82a17d]Reliable. His word is his bond. If JD says he'll do something, he'll do it and make sure it gets done before the day he said it'll be finished. Or at least hours earlier. This can be a bit of a problem for him since he's also prone to just accepting social events and outings while also having a load of coursework and other responsibilities waiting for him. He manages, mostly, and tries to keep his streak of reliability going. Although he has slipped a couple of times after burning himself out.[/color][/indent] [indent][sub]♦[/sub][color=82a17d]Modest. He's a pro tennis player in all but name and sponsorships, but he doesn't brag about it. If annying he'll downplay his skills and say that he's not all that good. Which, compared to other pros his age who are playing at the professional level, he's moderately above average. He's also pretty smart, but he downplays this and says it's mostly due to his dedicated study habits and nothing else.[/color][/indent] [color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]Negative Personality Traits[/color] [indent][sub]♦[/sub][color=82a17d]Anxious. JD is prone to anxiety attacks, especially when he's being overloaded with responsibilities. He tries to manage his time, but he's pretty poor at it, often having to cram out his homework or assignments a day or two before they're done. And on top of that is the perfectionist complex he has, constantly pushing himself to do better, which only exacerbates his anxiety.[/color][/indent] [indent][sub]♦[/sub][color=82a17d]Demanding. Just as he's demanding of himself, he is to others as well. Many may see this as abbrasive or annoying, especially if they're grouped up with him in assignments or in any sort of sport or physical exercise. It comes from his background and the way his parents raised him, always demanding more out of him. And he reflects this same mentality upon others and upon himself.[/color][/indent] [indent][sub]♦[/sub][color=82a17d]Pretentious. Although subtle, there's a level pretentiousness that comes with knowing you're at a high level of competitiveness in a very competitive sport. Exacerbated by the arrogance of youth and the many accolades he's had in the past that seems to justify his outlook. And although he is mostly modest, the way he carries himself and the undertones of the way he speaks and plays down his own "greatness" muddles that modesty to almost make it seem fake. And he's heard a lot of people caling him fake for it. [/color][/indent] [color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]h i s t o r y[/color] [indent][color=82a17d] JD is the firsts born child of five, and from a young age his parents were [i]demanding[/i]. Growing up he often found himself jealous or resentful of his younger siblings simply because his parents were more lenient on them. Letting them get away with things that would get him in trouble. Smiling at them more, showing more affection towards them. And this drove him to try and please his parents, to over-excell and gain that effection that his siblings got. Especially from his father. A professional tennis player who wanted JD to follow in his footsteps. He began training at the age five. And by the time he reached middle school, he was among the top brass of the junior division in the country. But, his grades were suffering for it and his mother, a professor at the state university wouldn't have her son failing because of a sport. Thus, she threatened to pull him out of tennis if he didn't get his grades up. And he began focusing on school, finding himself loving math but hating everything else. He made sure to get as close to perfect grades on math but just to pass in all other classes so he could devote most of his time to tennis. By the age fourteen, he was already prospected to become pro by seventeen and many sponsors and coaches were approaching his father or coming to watch his games, and some even eating dinner at their table while they questioned him on his skills. JD contemplated quitting school to become a fulltime tennis player, but neither his mother or his father would have it, saying he needed to at least finish highschool before he went down that route. In an effort to please his parents, and in part to get away from them as well, he applied to the Wellington Academy. And pretty much ran out of his house the moment he got accepted. The Academy has been the most freeing and wondrous moments of his life. Although stressful, staying at the academy has been like a breath of fresh air; no longer was he bound by the strictness of his parents nor was he bound by any arbitrary rule, save those that came from the Academy itself. But he found himself falling back into old habits regardless. His parents weren't there to be hard on him, so he was hard on himself. Pushing himself to do better in his grades and while practicing tennis, which he did almost every morning before classes. He's demanding on his closest friends, and has even managed to convince one of them to practice with him in the mornings. And throughout his time at the Academy, has found himself to be more sociable than he ever could be in public schools, and not wanting to confine himself to one niche group, decided to make friends with whoever he found intresting or easy to talk to.[/color] [indent][img]pic here[/img][/indent][/indent] [color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]cottage[/color] [indent][color=82a17d]will be assigned by GM[/color][/indent] [color=b05e4f][color=75988c]•[/color]what did you pack?[/color] [indent][color=82a17d]Several tennis racks, a book on physics his mother gave him, plenty of Jordan's and tennis shoes, a signed ball from Dustin Brown in a case.[/color][/indent] [indent][right][hider=extras][color=B8C5B3] Theme Song: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49mkm2tNNJA]The theme song[/url] Extras: Weller stars - 3[/color][/hider][/right][/indent][/indent][/indent][/cell][/row][/table][/indent] [/hider]
