| Bio: | Character Information Character Name(s): Jesse Bryan Holmes Nicknames/Aliases: Jess Gender: Male Race: Werewolf Actual Character Age: 15 DOB: December 10th, 1992 Physical Description: Standing at roughly, 5 foot 4 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds, Jesse is not a big guy. He's more wiry and lanky than athletic. In a fight, it would be his flexibility and his speed that would most likely win not his brute strength, that is when he's in human form. He possesses a somewhat olive complexion but his skin is speckled with the sporadic dark brown freckles. It seems that a lot of his features have the appearance of being stretched; he has a long neck, a long nose that is sort of mousy, and a long face with a pointed chin. His eyes are almond shaped and dark brown. His hair is light brown, cut short, and often spiked with gel. Distinguishing marks: He has a bite mark scar on his left shoulder. PB: Jean-Luc Bilodeau Birth Location: Okinawa, Japan (Army brat) Personality: Like Jesse's astrological sign entails, Jesse very much likes adventure which makes him appear like he has ants in his pants, constantly on the go. His attention span is short unless it is something like video games or a hike in the woods or when he runs on track. He's an activities kind of person and craves experience more than personal things(although he does have an obsession with technology). This could be partially due to the fact he grew up in a military family and never really had a permanent place to live. He can appear flighty when one first encounters him, but he can be quite determined and enthusiastic when it suits him, further traits of being a Sagittarius. Also due to Jesse's background of always being on the move, he is perhaps over-confident when it comes to being social. He often goes overboard, like he wants people to like him. He craves friends but often finds that when he grows close, that is when he must move again. He has developed a defense mechanism by not letting anyone becoming too close to him. Sometimes he does not pick up on subtle social cues but he tries to cover that up by being loud and a clown. He hates uncomfortable silences and often will break them with something completely mundane and irrelevant. He is incredibly socially clueless when it comes to girls. His feigned confidence becomes a comic exaggeration when around the fairer gender and he often says lines that he thinks are winning but just sound stupid. Like most 15 year old boys, Jesse thinks he knows everything. Even when he doesn't know something, he will make up an answer just because in some cases he has to say something. He knows quite a few dirty phrases in foreign languages and is immature enough to use them. He believes it makes him sound cultured and traveled. Often, he comes to outrageous thoughts and often buys conspiracy theories. To a degree, he is gullible. Since Jesse's change, he chooses to deal with his current condition in humor. The truth is he's scared to death but to admit that is a sign of weakness. During the full moon, he hides out to have angst in peace. Personal Background: Jesse Bryan Holmes was born to then Major Jonathon and Catherine Holmes in Okinawa, Japan on December 10, 1992. He was the second child, his sister, Diana, born four years earlier. His father, who's father was also in the army, spent his adult life in the US Army and was an officer for Military Intelligence. There was nothing too special about Jesse at this point. Werewolves, faeries, ghosts, vampires were just the things of stories. The family were practicing Christians, Presbyterian to be exact, but they weren't as devout as they could be. Additionally, they were very close to each other. Jonathan and Catherine were strict but caring, often pushing family cohesion. Jesse spent the first five years of his life growing up in Japan on a military base. Nothing was too exciting for him. He got special treatment by the neighborhood families because his father was an officer and his sister often picked on him but besides that, he was a normal small boy. When Jesse turned six, his first school was located in his father's next duty station which was in Darmstadt, Germany. He had now heard over three languages in his short life. Jesse quickly made close friends since he was a social and cheerful child. It was here that Jesse's father was promoted to Lt. Colonel. Jesse's family was well off and the family often traveled across Europe during vacations or during his father's leave. Jesse also realized exactly what his father did when his father went on a deployment to Kosovo. When Jesse turned nine, he left his close friends in Germany when his father got orders to Ft. Drum, New York. Since 9/11 happened the year before, Jonathan was immediately deployed to Afghanistan. This was a hard year for the Holmeses for the thought of their family member dying in such a strange war was quite scary indeed. This combined with adjusting to a new location having grown up in not the United States left Jesse and Diana feeling awkward. Jesse reacted by being the class clown. He won friends but he had trouble getting close to them. Diana reacted by getting heavily involved in student activities. After two years in New York, the Holmes moved to Ft Belvoir, Virginia. After a year in Virginia as Jesse began to grow into a teenager, Jonathan got sent to Iraq. The homefront Holmeses spent another year without their patriarch in a new place. Jesse continued his clown act. He got the attention he wanted but he didn't grow close because he knew if he did, he'd say good bye to them again. It was this time period, Jesse escaped into three activities; running, video games, and exploring. He often did these in solitude but there were some games he chose to play online. He wasn't much of a student which did cause him to be grounded at times. After three years in Virginia, Jonathan got promoted to Colonel and was stationed in Arizona. It was this terrain that Jesse became fascinated with. It was arid and mountainous. He loved to hike the mountains, especially the ones that overlooked the top secret facilities where his father worked. He liked to imagine what would go on beyond the wire. It was during one of his hikes his life would change forever. When Jesse was about a few weeks off from his 15th birthday in November, he went for an evening walk. The moon was huge and full and he could see every star. While he watched with a sense of awe, he heard the bushes rustling behind him. When he turned around, a dark figure jumped at him and mauled him to the ground. It was too dark for Jesse to see what it was but it was growling and chewing on his shoulder. Screaming, he let the adrenaline pump and he pushed the thing off of him and ran off as fast as he could home. His shoulder bled profusely which prompted his mother to bring him to the emergency room. He ended up walking away from the incident with eleven stitches and a very painful rabies test. Jesse went about life like usual for about a month. He didn't think anything of it. Then, the day of the full moon, he felt sick and stayed home from school. That night, he knew something wasn't right. He found himself sweating and panting. When the full moon rose, he felt the most horrible pain that it caused him to cry out so painfully that everyone in the house ran to him. His mother and father (Diana was at West Point and could not participate)watched as he convulsed and transformed into a werewolf. Catherine wanted to call the ambulance but Jonathan insisted against it. It seemed to Catherine that he was hiding something and seemed to be very guilty by it. Jonathan insisted that they hold out, leaving his son locked in his room. It would buy some time while he could consider his options. What he knew that no one else did in the family was on this base, there were scientists experimenting with the were disease and there had been a test subject that escaped one night. Jonathan knew that if anyone said anything, his son could possibly become a test subject. He didn't want that. The next morning, Jesse returned to normal... well, what appeared normal. Despite the fact that he felt like he was hit by a truck, he noticed how much his senses seemed to be heightened and how he seemed to like steak extra rare. He remembered everything from the night before along with the fact that he felt somewhat animalistic. It frightened him greatly. When he was alone, he expressed his fear of what was going on by curling on his bed crying. He noticed how panicky his parents were so tried to make light of it when he wasn't by himself. His parents decided that Jesse would not return to school until further notice. The Colonel spent his next few days at work in a daze as he attempted to think what could be done with the current situation. He stayed in his office and cursed anyone who interrupted him. Finally, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He did some research on the test subjects and chose one to talk to; a man by the name of Seth Lowry. Seth was found in California in his apartment after his then girlfriend came home to see him in his werewolf state. The government stepped in and brought him to the facility in Arizona. He was actually quite cooperative for some unknown reason. After scaring the private at the door to the labs and idly shut off the camera to Lowry's room, he used his rank to elbow into the area and into the room where Seth stayed. Because he was so cooperative, he had a rather nice room that resembled a small apartment and it was to the Colonel's understanding, he was allowed out on weekend passes as long as he had a tracking device around his ankle. "Have a smoke?" Seth asked the colonel. He seemed to oddly be at peace with himself even though the Colonel felt like Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs. Seth was no Hannibal Lecter, though. Tossing him a cigarette and lighting it up, Jonathan sat down in one of Seth's easy chairs. The Colonel explained the situation in hushen tones. Seth smirked a little, "So, you don't want your son to have the same situation I'm in? Since he's your son, I'm sure you could work something out... Maybe he can have his own house!" "But he's only about to turn 15!" the Colonel pleaded before gaining back his military bearing, "I'm asking you because unlike our other subjects, you seem to control your state for the most part. Our other subjects become feral and often cause chaos in their rooms in the light of the full moon. I'm willing to cut a deal with you. I'll see what I can do to let you go if you won't say anything about Jess and if you teach him to be in control like you are." Seth threw his head back and laughed, "Are you kidding me? I like it here. As long as I'm a good dog, I get what I want. I like being a professional test subject! But I get it, Colonel. You want to have your son be more than a slacker like me. I doubt he'll be able to follow in your footsteps now and get that pretty bird on his chest." The Colonel pressed for more, "Then tell me how you gained control!" "I went to school!" Seth looked highly amused by all this. "It's called Halycon Halls! If you want, I can put you in with a representative. Of course, that would have to cost you." "Name your price," The Colonel looked somewhat irritated with him, "And how do I know you aren't kidding!?" "I want a week's vacation to Hawaii with all the beer I can drink!" Seth bribed, "And for that price, I won't tell anyone about your precious son being one of us. As for the school. If you give me a phone, I'm sure they can send a representative your way." The deal was struck and Seth got the Colonel in contact with the school. Later that week, a rep from the school visited the family. Jesse wasn't happy at all. What it sounded like was he was now different and had to move again. It took his family more convincing that school existed than the thought of sending Jesse there. "It's for your own good, Jess," his mother pleaded. "Don't you want to be able to control yourself?" Jesse sighed and agreed to go. Jesse didn't like the sound of moving again but his father put it in such a way that he didn't have an option. Officers have a way of doing that. He begrudgingly went to the school at the beginning of the January semester. He has only changed once since then. Family: Colonel Jonathan Holmes, father. Catherine Holmes, mother.
