Okay, to start off, Saturday I went to the circus with my grandma, my mom, and my brother. Well, it was really fun, actually. I mean, I haven’t been to a circus in years and I was glad that I got to see my grandma and stuff.

Although, I felt really bad for all of the animals. Like, the elephants, the tigers, the dogs, the horses, and the goats. I mean, the dogs looked happy to be catching the Frisbees and running on the course, but the rest of the animals I felt bad for because they were freaked out whenever they saw the whips. D:

Anyway, besides that . . . the performers were amazing and the clowns were hilarious. And I kinda got yelled at for recording some stuff, but they never said that we couldn’t record. Besides, I wasn't planning to record everything.

Oh well. Pfft.

I really want this one clown’s shoes. They were light green and amazing. 8D

Today was my uncle’s birthday so we walked across the street and ate cupcakes, pizza, and Chinese. It was . . . really fun, despite the fact that before I left my house my glasses broke. Like, it wasn’t the lenses it was the actual things that keep them on your face . . . and they go behind your ears? *can’t think of what they’re called* Anyway, one of the screws fell out when I set them down on the counter but when I went to my uncle’s house, my cousin Kelsey fixed them for me.

Gah. My “uncles” are so interesting. They’re funny. Pfft.

Oh, and I love Chicken Little. I realized how much I love that movie after I watched it with Elizabeth ~kumori-tokage. Kirby is so adorable.

I’m freezing . . . and I filled out a quiz for Jack that I stole from Nikki. =NikChik-11

~~PERSONALITY~~

General Temperament: Jack’s always been laidback and sensitive, but when he was younger he was more daring (he climbed one of the trees in his backyard and broke his arm because he fell out of it). Once school continued on, he realized that not many people liked him, so he turned to gardening to keep himself occupied. That just kinda made him more vulnerable to other kids making fun of him since, y’know, a boy planting flowers is considered girly to other boys at that age. Eventually he began hanging out with a few of his cousins (Ying, Yang, and Bramwell) at school at the beginning of junior high and stuff. Then once he met Nikki when he was fifteen he became a bit more awkward around girls than he already was and he became waaaay more sensitive and emotional due to that and his bipolarness . So, yeah. Now he’s not as awkward around Nikki and stuff, but he’s still really sensitive.
Three words you would use to describe their personality: Naive, Sensitive, Stubborn.
Three words they would use to describe their personality: Cool, weird . . .
Jack: And an idiot! Don’t forget that! D8
Casey: That doesn’t even make . . . sense.
Jack: It doesn’t have to because I don’t make sense. *raises an eyebrow*
Casey: You sure don’t.
Self-esteem: Well, he’s not really self-conscious about his appearance unless someone makes fun about it, but he can be a bit uncomfortable with failing in front of people at really small things.
Sanity: Jack’s sane, but sometimes his heart medicine alters his moods and makes him more depressed—which is one of the reasons why he hates taking his medicine, especially since he’s already bipolar and can become easily upset—and he hates being alone. If he’s alone and isn’t looking for the boogeyman or playing his guitar or something he kinda goes mad with depression and can’t think straight. The only thing that he feels like he can do is cry until he makes himself sick, mope around in his room, and think about things that he promises to never think about like dying, as cliché as that may or may not sound.
Optimistic/ Pessimistic/ Apathy/Empathic/ Realist: He’s usually optimistic about a lot of things that don’t involve him, which include other peoples’ problems; he’s usually pessimistic when it comes to his own problems, which normally results in him calling himself an idiot.
When upset: Lock himself up in his room in his closet, refuses to talk, hides his face/avoids eye contact with people, and he might start crying depending on what it’s about.
When angry: He won’t think before he does/says something, so that results in saying something he didn’t mean to say or inflicting physical pain on someone that is a guy. Well, actually that doesn’t happen unless someone is like physically hurting him or his friends. D8
When depressed: Sits in his room and either does nothing/plays his guitar/writes music/sleeps/or just thinks about everything that’s happened to him, which usually makes him even more depressive.
When overjoyed: Normally he spazzes out and acts like a complete lovable goober that’s just . . . crazy.
Leader or Follower?: It kind of depends on the situation, but he’s usually a follower because his sister’s a pushy leader, but if he knows what he’s doing he’ll take control.
Stressed easily?: Yes.
What do they do to relax?: Talk to Nikki, eat some strawberry yogurt or anyone other strawberry oriented foods/drinks, write some songs, play his guitar, sing to himself, and some other stuff like that.
What would send them into a blind rage?: If someone ever hurt Nikki, his parents, or his friends really badly.
What would over joy them?: Uhh . . . meeting Jack Skellington, chatting with the Boogeyman, and eventually marrying Nikki and having kids?
If the closest person to them were to die from Illness: He would probably take it better than if the closest person to him were killed. But he’d still be a depressed mess.
If the closest person to them were to killed: He’d be in ravels and would refuse to talk about it, which he would deal with his depression by locking himself away and crying. He’d probably snap at anyone who makes him think of that person.
If they suddenly lost use of their legs: Basically, he would go into a depression because he’d feel ever more useless and eventually get over it.
If they suddenly became a vampire: . . . no, just no. Especially if it sparkles.
If they suddenly became a were-wolf: Well, that wouldn’t happen, soooo . . .
If they woke up as a ghost: He’d go out and scare some people.
If they had one wish: Pfft. I’m sure he’d accidently wish he knew what to wish for.
If they could live anywhere: It wouldn’t really matter to him as long as he wasn’t too far away from his friends and family.
If they were made into a toy, what three phrases would they say?:
“Wait . . . who are we talking about? ”
“Got any strawberries? 8D”
“‘THIS IS HALLOWEEN! ’”

Dream Job: Anything that doesn’t involve sitting behind a desk at an office or something.
Nightmare Job: Again, anything that involves sitting behind a desk or something really boring.
View on Others (General): Goofy and friendly.
View on Others (Same race): Uhh . . . Whos probably don’t have races.
View on Others (Different race): Laaaaa.
General Beliefs: Always believe Jackie . . . otherwise she’ll make you believe.
Beliefs on Poverty: He doesn’t really worry about things like that.
Beliefs on Fighting and War: He’s not aware of any wars happening in Whoville or anywhere else, so he doesn’t think about that kind of stuff.
Beliefs on Death / Afterlife: He just assumes that there’s heaven and hell, I guess.
Beliefs on Money: He never really thinks about it.
Most treasured item: His skull necklace that one of his uncles gave him, who is now deceased.
Most treasured memory: The night where he claims to have seen the Boogeyman.
Wants to forget: All of the times he was pushed around and made fun of when he was younger, and the day that his uncle died.
Embarrassed about/by: His mom. Well, not as much, but he still kind of is.
Proud of: His cousins Ying and Yang for various reasons.
What would they say is their best quality?: His mad drumming skills . . . or the way that he plants his flowers.
What would they say was their worst quality?: How he can be extremely sensitive and can easily be offended and being angry at one moment and then completely depressed the next due to his bipolarness . . . or how he can be completely oblivious at times.
Manners: It kinda depends. He’s not rude unless someone else is being rude to him or his friends. I dunno. They’re pretty good.
Fears/ Phobias: Drowning | Water (specifically ponds, lakes, pools) | heights kinda freak him out | going insane | hospitals | his sisterJackie scares him to an extent | failing at things | having his dad die in a fire (Jeevan’s a firefighter)
Obsessions: Strawberries, gardening, drumming.
Talking Behavior: Normally it’s laidback and outgoing, but he starts stuttering if he’s embarrassed or upset.
Do they like dancing?: Not really unless it’s with Nikki because he can’t dance.
Do they like singing?: YUS.
Do they like acting?: Yeah, he’d probably be a good actor because he’s outgoing and moody. Pffft.
Do they like playing music?: YUS.
Do they like creative writing?: Yeah . . . if It’s music related.
Do they like math?: Noooo . . . he hates it.
Do they like science?: No. He thinks that it’s just another version of math because it is.
Do they like sheep?: Eh, why not. *hands Jack a sheep*

~~HISTORY~~

What did they look like when they were three?: Messy bed hair | big green eyes | had his two front teeth grown in | poofy fur.
What did they look like when they were eight?: Messy hair | very slim and awkward | still had big green eyes
What did they look like when they were thirteen?: Basically, he looks like he does now except he was shorter, had braces, and had a lisp.
What did they look like when they were twenty?: He’s taller, his hair’s a bit longer, bulkier, and he has bigger feet?
Their First Memory: Licking the cookie dough off a giant spoon that his mom had used to make pumpkin cookies for Halloween.
Something they've forgotten: A small door that’s in his closet that leads somewhere. He’s forgotten all about it because all of that junks in his closet. D8
Something they could never forget: Meeting Nikki.
Most frightening experience: Falling into his cousins’ pool when he was six or something and nearly drowning.
Most embarrassing moment: Dude, I’m sure that Jack’s had many embarrassing moments. Pfft.
The worst thing they have ever done: Gotten into fights, I guess.
The worst thing that has happened to them: Nearly drowning and having a heart attacks or other serious problems that deal with his heart and send him to the hospital.
Worst time in their life: Having his braces for nearly three years (ten to thirteen). They made him lisp really bad. D8
Best time in their life: Becoming Nikki’s boyfriend.
A defining moment in the shaping of their personality: Planting flowers with his mom when he was four and going trick-or-treating with his parents and Jackie when he was three.
Relationships with Family and why: Well, Jack’s the closest with his mom because she’s always there for him and Jackie. Jeevan (y’know, his dad) sacrifices around two weeks or more at the firestation so he’s not as close. Jack was always afraid that his dad didn’t like him and stuff. And he was always afraid of letting him down or embarrassing him. His relationship with Jackie is really odd, actually. Well, not odd, but Jackie and Jack just don’t get along because they’re polar opposites.
Where have they lived?: Whoville.
Education: Highschool
Broken bones? If yes, which ones and how? Broke his right arm from falling out of the tree in his backyard when he was younger.

~~~TECHNICAL~~~

Why did you create this character?: Well, Nikki =NikChik-11 influenced me to make my own HHaW OC.
How did you come up with the name?: I like the name Jack and there’s a lot of cool characters that are named Jack? (Jack Skellington, Jack Sparrow, and all of the other ones that I don’t feel like listing right now).
How long have you had this character?: About a year and a half.
How has this character changed since you first created them?: Well, originally Jack was supposed to be a mechanic kind of genius, and he was supposed to be hotheaded and “cool”. He also didn’t have his heart problems or bipolarness. Yet, he still was a tree hugger but he wasn’t as awkward until Nikki showed up and eventually became his girlfriend. Basically, he’s just developed a lot with the help of Nikki. D8 *is blinded by her crappy drawing skills from last year*
How often do you role-play them?: Uh, very often with Nikki and sometimes with other people. I mean, if you guys wanna RP with me just note me or something. Seriously.
Have you ever drawn pictures of them?: *points to gallery*
Have you ever commissioned a picture of them?: Nope.
Have you ever written a story about them?: Yeah. *points to my gallery again*
Other Comments: I’m just going to follow Nikki’s lead and say that Jack’s voice is Matt Theissen’s from Relient K.
