Character’s Name
“The world's a dark enough place. Keep smiling, wouldja? Another star in this void would certainly be appreciated, if no one else than by me, yeah?”-
Jamison Rainer
Jamison Horace Rainer.
|{Nickname}|"Jamie" simply because it's his name; "Rainer" because he likes being called something that next to no one else is.
|{Birth Date}|March 16th, 1988
|{Age}|27
|{Gender}|Male
|{Sexuality}|Eh, all I can really play is hetero.
|{Sexually Active}|Should anyone ask, he'll give a vague and indistinct answer, or simply deflect the question. He is not, though, sexually active. He prefers good conversations and cuddles, anyhow.
|{Relationship Status}|He's a single pringle that wishes he wasn't.
|{Occupation}|Writer, journalist, and programmer. He helps develop games, writes their dialogue, writes the story, writes his own books, and has a thread on a somewhat large forum where he posts his views on the global situation- terrorism and politics and the like. Major events and things worthy of note.
|{In Depth Appearance}|Jamie's an average five feet eleven and a half inches tall, just a tiny bit short of the full six foot. He's not particularly large, neither in being broadshouldered nor thick, but he manages to pull off being attractive while not particularly caring, or trying.
He's got soft brown eyes, and usually has somewhat spiky brown hair that he takes some reluctantly-admitted pride in keeping soft, and he uses it to keep it in a sort-of spiky hair style, simply because any other way is too difficult. On the few occasions a friend of his has messed with his hair, they usually end up playing with it. Jamie, again, reluctantly admits to enjoying it.
|{Clothing Style}|Long-sleeved thermals, jeans, hoodies, and thick zip-up jackets that are fluffy on the inside. He loves those kinds of jackets, warm and cozy. Occasionally wears a beanie, too.
|{Scars, Tattoos, Piercings}|N/A
G E T T I N G T O K N O W M E
✔Writing and associated things
✔Games and associated things (primarily PC, of course)
✔All kinds of conceptual science
✔The snow, ice, and the cold
✔People in general- enjoys talking to everyone and making people smile
✔Food- definitely food. He'll eat everything, as long as it tastes good.
✔Books and reading, and most things associated. Can't stand mystery, horror, or manga, though.
✘Being overly cold or overly hot
✘Illogical, unreasonable notions or ideas-unless they're joking.
✘Anime, manga, etc. Can't stand the clothing or the anatomy, nor the physics involved.
✘Hates being alone or sick, or ignored.
✘Being talked over or interrupted, or something else that's just plain rude. It bugs him even more when the person doesn't even realize they're interrupting.
✘Hates not being able to get something to work. As a programmer, he's often gotta solve one problem or the other that makes the code incompatible and unusable, this often leads to long, tedius, frustrating work.
✘Some kinds of foods- olives, turkey, mustard, pretty much all liquor, and a few other things.
|{Hobbies}|Jamie loves a good book, a good story idea to write, or a good game to play. In addition, he'll happily go take a walk or head out on his bike, and occasionally just drives around his current resident city, just to give him some time to think about everything. Sometimes he bakes or cooks, and invites the people in his apartment building over for a meal or somesuch.
|{Habits}|Eats a bunch, and gladly eats everything. He'll try to show some restraint, but he really likes food. Also has a habit of flinching away from physical contact, if he's not the one giving it- he was too softhearted as a kid, and wouldn't stand up for himself, so he's a little afraid of people, despite the fact that he's always seeking them out. Also has a habit of avoiding things that he doesn't like very much- someone smoking or drinking a good bit will likely not be talking to Jamie. Likewise, if someone's a bit rude to him, he'll just drift off, unnoticed, and wait a good long while before initiating any sort of conversation again, in which he won't say anything about why he was particularly hurt or somesuch.
|{Fears}|☠Being alone forever
☠Spiders and snakes, mainly after being bitten by a rattlesnake when he was young.
☠Babies. He believes that babies will stare into your soul, and judge you. Well, not actually believe, but he certainly feels like it. Unless he's related to the baby, or the baby belongs to a close friend, he can't stand them.
D E L V I N G D E E P E R
♦ Caring ♦ Outgoing ♦ Loyal ♦ Insecure ♦
He's very outgoing- he'll talk to everyone, and likely always will. He doesn't appreciate rudeness, or irresponsibility, or similar, but he's loyal to a fault- he may not like it, but he'll never leave someone forever. If he thinks someone's down, he'll be there, trying to help and share their pain, hurt, etc. He's generally just trying to be the nicest and most caring person he could possibly be, because he feels that there aren't enough of such people. He searches for the right person, while trying his best to be the right person himself.
He's not unrealistic, either- he's well aware of his faults, and he's well aware that he likely won't be able to change them. He goes out of his way to help people, knowing that they'll likely take him for granted, and simply expecting him to be there. He knows that most people probably don't notice him that much; most people don't care enough.
He feels strongly. When he's angry, he very, very angry. When he's happy, he's certainly bright and cheerful, and when he's sad, he falls into a fairly deep depression. Very patient, too- even when he should just be angry, or should just let it out, he won't.
|{Place Of Origin}|Carbon, Texas, a tiny little town of no note whatsoever.
|{History}|Having grown up in a teeny tiny little town of Carbon, Texas, Jamie found himself at odds with everybody else in his school- because he was the only one that wasn't interested in ranching, farming, or being stupid like all the other kids. So, he'd get beat up on during school, was the smartest person in his class, and read books and played video games when he got home. As his life progressed, people left him alone more and more; the day he woke up in his college dorm for the first time was the day he became his new open self.
At home, he came from two redneck parents who made their living with a larger successful ranch, whatwith cattle, horses, and the like. They weren't all that pleased for their first and only born child to be a nerd for them, but they hesitantly supported him nonetheless.
He had a slew of incidents on his parents' ranch, each of them coming from him pushing his boundries, somewhat. They always found him doing something that no one expected- he was rearranging and organizing a pile of lumber that had long since been considered junk, and had actually started building a pile for a bonfire. Naturally, he felt a sting on his foot that hurt terrible, and ran inside- for his parents to freak out because a rattlesnake had been disturbed, panicked, and bit him before he even knew it was there. Likewise, he once tried to capture a wasp nest intact, so he put it in a case and do things with the wasps and the nest, like have an ant farm except with wasps, or see what happens if he sprays 409 or WD40 or lacquer thinner on them. That didn't work out quite so well, either. He was a little too outgoing and adventurous when he was little, his version of stupid being the kind that was overly ambitious and not entirely thought through.
Throughout high school and college, he lost some of that nature- he became more reserved, though certainly still outgoing and talkative, he's a little bit afraid of normal things, because of his childhood. He sees snakes where there shouldn't, and spiders being far more dangerous as they are- even though he knows, logically, that he's perfectly fine. He kept himself and his record clean, never even getting pulled over for speeding or somesuch, and has had a pretty good job of just getting everything done.
|{Extra}|He's a shadow, of sorts. Everyone remembers him, but no one really takes note of him anymore. Also, I do enjoy a good glass of egg nog.
|{Theme Song}|Fireflies – Owl City”To ten million fireflies | I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes | I got misty eyes as they said farewell.”
