MONROE, jasper

PERSONALITY

first impressions are of course always important as people will certainly remember you for it. at first glace, jasper comes off as a very quiet individual. seemingly indifferent and certainly doesn't go out of his way to show off his emotions, his face almost always blank with the occasional hint of annoyance. to put it simply, he can come off as quiet apathetic. but more accurately, he's just very selective about what he puts an effort into. unless it's absolutely necessary, he doesn't see it worthy of his time or effort. that being said, he also doesn't see the point in sugarcoating things and thus, simply wont. so if you are looking for an honest opinion, this individual will certainly give it to you. there just may be a hint of sarcasm occasionally and of course can be very blunt, which isn't a too appealing mixture.

given his past, jasper is flawed to the extent of being rather mistrusting and certainly wont trust someone right off the bat. sure it's good to be a little alert in these sort of matters, especially in new york. but it's gotten to the point it's ridiculous. he almost has no hope in humanity anymore and has become quite the misanthropist. again, you can't really blame him too much though. of course, given the fact he has this problem with becoming easily angered, you kind of want the man to trust him before he gets to the point he wants to knock your teeth in. if pushed too far, he has a tendency to go into a black rage in which he has difficulty controlling himself. he has tried to control this behavior of his and tends to go on long walks, avoiding people in order to vent or even punch a hole in a wall or two. it's best to try and not upset him too much. but then again, he seems pretty weak and has a tendency to attract the bad crowd. which has often times ended up with him with a few bruises and a broken bone or two. too bad he's too stubborn to back down in such instances.

on the plus side, he's a bit more friendly and caring guy, no matter how bad he may perceive himself to be, especially in the presence of those he knows, being much more affectionate and less of a cold grump to those said individuals. and despite his attitude and typical stone cold behavior, he's very loyal if you do happen to get on his good side. He'll do anything for you. Period. And though less often, he will stick his neck out for even strangers as well if he thinks they need help. Even if he isn't in quite the position to offer much help as much as he needs it himself.

surprising as it may seem, all he wants in the end is to make people happy, especially his broken family of whom he thinks deserves to be happy the most. and though he'd deny it to the grave, a good friend or two would be nice. he gets quite lonely. but you'd never know that. he has quite a skill in hiding such petty emotions.

LIKES,

history

PARENTS, naomi & spencer(deceased) monroe
SIBLINGS, juliet monroe (baby sister)

simple story that well explains life's ability to fuck you in the ass sometimes. jasper lived with his mother, father, and baby sister juliet, a relatively successful life really. necessities were always capable of being handled in advance, the family could enjoy the spoils of being well off compared to the majority of new york. you know, that sort of deal! but whenever his father died of an overdose, their life turned upside down. spencer barely left anything for his family and much to their surprise, he had hidden a ton of debt from them. it seems his accident wasn't quite just that. he apparently couldn't handle the stress anymore and left them to handle it on their own. luckily they had enough in insurance to move from the home they could no longer afford and manage a decent, albeit much smaller home. but due to their decrease in the social ranks, they lost plenty of their 'friends' and had to learn how to pick themselves up. it was just as well. jasper certainly didn't want to put his faith in people anymore. he was determined to take over and bring his family out of this. he wants to see his mom smile again and wants to garuntee his little sister will have a better life than what their father had left them with.

unfortunately, he's way over his head. a highschooler in his position can only seem to get a steady job as a waiter, forced to work extra hours on odd jobs just to keep up with things and make sure his family are well off. it's barely cutting it though. and other options are seeming much more tempting as of late.

OTHER INFORMATION

due to his father's death and mother and sister's inability to get a steady job for income, jazz still lives with them in their house for the mere fact he feels he has to support them. unfortunately unable to get a better job than a waiter and still attempting to at least graduate high school, it hasn't been going so well.

he's also been considering joining a gang, solely for the monetary perks in order to help provide for his family. of course he has obvious reasons as to why he's hesitant. but given the fact they are getting more desperate, he's starting to yield to the temptations.

finally, he owns a motorcycle. it's perhaps the only thing he still really owns from his old life. it was a bike he and his father built from the frame up and he still cherishes it, albeit get's frustrated occasionally if he thinks too much about it, but still! he uses it as his primary vehicle. which certainly doesn't ease his mother much considering he's had a few accidents on the thing. she'd much prefer he took the bus. but fuck that.
