Hobbies: sports - Mr. Rae hasn't been able to provide as much for his children as he would like, but if there's one thing he's confident in, it's his coaching ability. Thanks to his father, John Jr was all but born wielding a baseball bat. He grew up learning the ins and outs of his father's favourite game, and is a veritable machine on the baseball field. Short-stop. Third-baseman. Back-catcher. You name it, John Jr can play it. And he can play it well.
Don't tell Mr. Rae, but John Jr's heart no longer belongs solely to baseball. He has a particular fondness for basketball, after getting into it with some of the guys at the park downtown, and aspires to one day break into the MBA. Whether or not he's actually
that good remains to be seen.
Naturally athletic and fun-loving, John Jr would tell you there's almost no sport he wouldn't try. Except for maybe fencing, because
why would anybody bother with a skinny stick like that when they could swing a broadsword? He doesn't know.
video games - All of the time John Jr spends playing and talking about sports leaves little room for him to do a lot of something else when he's not at school. But the Raes are proud owners of an
original Nintendo Entertainment System, which John Jr and Vanessa play religiously every Christmas and Easter on their grandfather's old box TV.
John Jr has also recently inherited an old ps2 from his cousin Mark. Instead of doing homework on Saturdays and Sundays he plays things like "WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain" and "Tokyo Xtreme Racer: 3"
wannabe rap star - If somehow John Jr
magically fails to make it in the MBA, his fall back plan is a distinguished career in rap music. He's got a knack for writing bad lyrics, and has an absolute blast with his buddies trying to match them to music.
Virtues: happy-go-lucky -- Bright-eyed and optimistic, John Jr is easily contented, without much of an inclination to complain about anything. His is a silly, unbothered soul. While young and growing up poor, John Jr has lacked for almost nothing in his life of the things that count. His glass is always half-full.
adventurous -- Energetic and naturally curious, John Jr's enthusiasm for trying out new sports extends to other areas of his life. Competitive like his sister, driven by an innocent compulsion to know
more about the world, John Jr is a veritable 'Yes!' man. As long as it has potentional for fun (and especially if he gets to show off) without being too girly, John Jr will do it first. And he will do it better than everyone else.
honest -- Why tell a lie when you never do anything wrong? John Jr is afraid he doesn't have an answer. More seriously, though, John Jr simply doesn't have it in him to be dishonest. He's a good kid. The sort who sincerely believed Santa would stuff his stocking full of coal if he misbehaved too often, and who did his absolute best to ensure that he'd be getting a brand new hockey stick instead.
Flaws: devil-may-care -- While bright-eyed and cheerful, John Jr's inherent knack for looking at the world through rose tinted glasses can be more of an impedement than a boon. He is crippled by his positivity, and struggles to recognize serious situations for being serious until it's too late. He is chronically late for appointments, and never hands in his homework on time. If life is a game, John Jr plays on easy mode.
overconfident/show off -- After a lifetime of being coddled and praised by his father and older sister, John Jr has an overinflated sense of his own worth. He's arrogant and conceited, and believes himself to be more special than he really is. The kind of kid who'd try to give Neo a run for his money without first being unplugged from the Matrix.
shallow -- With John Jr what you see is what you get. He doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is, and extends this oversimplified understanding of himself onto the people that he meets. He makes snap judgments based on superficial criteria, and is unapologetic for it. "If it looks like a b***h and it sounds like a b***h," John Jr says, "it's probably a b***h."
