Hobbies: Jogging - Jace has a lot of pent up stress and doesn't always have a clear outlet. Jogging is a quick way to burn off some steam and to just get lost in the world. He can slip into the night and drift into his own world. It's totally excusable to listen to loud music and ignore everyone around you and just
run. He can't run away from his own problems, so this is the closest he can get. It's a good way to stay in shape and doesn't require anything that could cause unnecessary clutter.
Hiking - Destiny City is always bustling and sometimes he needs a break from it. The fresh air and calm environment is a more peaceful escape than jogging. Being out of the city is one of the few places he can go and not have to worry about maintaining appearances. He won't admit it, but trips with his brother mean a lot to him, even if the peace is often disturbed by bickering and stupid antics. He likes exploring new places and being out in nature makes him think of simpler times.
Crochet - His greatest shame. No one is
supposed to know, and he almost hates that he's so engrossed in the hobby. Too many sleepless nights and YouTube trails lead him down this path. It was something he started accidentally, and is currently his go-to indoor hobby. He won't talk about it but somehow everyone close to him
knows. He won't admit to making things, but often gives customized crocheted gifts, especially when he needs to apologize but can't say it. It's one of the only creative ways he can express himself; he doesn't understand much other art, but he understand
this.
Virtues: Dutiful -- Jace is faithful to anyone who manages to work their way into his inner circle. He is steadfastly loyal to his family and will do everything in his power to make them proud. If he makes a promise, he will always come through; he is reliable, to a fault. It doesn't matter what it takes or what it entails: family comes first, above all other things--including his own needs. He is defensive and protective of those close to him.
Driven -- Nothing will stop Jace. He knows the meaning of hard work and won't let any obstacle stand in his way. If he hits a wall, he breaks it down. He is ambitious and will accept
only the best. He needs to come out on top and doesn't know when to concede defeat. He is firm and set in his ways, and focused on success. He is diligent and focused and doesn't lose sight of the big picture.
Bold -- Jace has spent too much time trying to be the best to be afraid of
proving it. He is brave and unafraid to take risks and try new things. He does not seem to hesitate before stepping into the unknown, though he isn't purely reckless. He does not shy away from conflict and does not bow to any obstacle. He is resilient in all things; his will is unwavering and he doesn't seem to fear anything.
Practical -- There is no point to anything if you don't get something out of it. Frivolity is wasteful; Jace is focused on results and making the best choices to get the best results. He is willing to put in the work for it. He
understands the need to cultivate strong relationships and reputation and is focused on what is feasible and realistic. He is not a dreamer and won't reach for something out of grasp. He is strict with resources; he takes everything seriously. He is responsible and organized and capable of making reasonable decisions to get the desired results.
Flaws: Intense -- There is no subtlety or timidity to Jace; his commitment to everything he applies himself to can come across as a little overwhelming. There isn't really a way to tone him down; he
feels deeply, and it often comes across as intimidating. He isn't easy to read and often comes across as impenetrable. He doesn't seem approachable or friendly, and he can seem abrasive. He is assertive and blunt, and even if he doesn't mean to be hurtful he is very rigid and straightforward. He tends to come across as argumentative and defensive at the slightest provocation, and can hold a grudge for a long time.
Prideful -- Jace cannot ask for help, and it's guaranteed that he's certain he can do things better than you, that he
is better than you. He has
worked for it,
worked to push himself and be the best that he can be. He is driven to prove himself and will always take on more responsibilities than he needs to because he is convinced he is the only one that can be trusted to follow through. The need to prove he is as good as he thinks he is has made him incredibly competitive, and he often comes across as arrogant. He cannot ask for help, even when he desperately needs it.
Private -- Jace keeps secrets. Everything he can keep private
is private. The less anyone knows about him, the less ammunition they have. The only thing that matters is a positive reputation, and he will keep as much of himself hidden to ensure that he is leaving behind
only that positive reputation. He can come across as cold and unapproachable, and his lack of openness can also make him seem suspicious. He is skeptical of others and generally fairly distrusting. He tends to keep things that are bothering him under wraps until the situation explodes.
Critical -- A perfectionist, if something isn't flawless, Jace will make sure you know it. He constantly pushes himself to excel and expects the same level of dedication from others. He is jealous of those who have natural talent and don't appear to have ever needed to work, and he is self-conscious of his own flaws so seeks to criticize them and correct them before anyone else can. He will never voice his insecurity and simply tries to overcome this by forcing perfection. He is under a lot of stress, much of which he puts on himself, so he can seem very negative. His attention to detail means that he is always
looking for a flaw, and does not have the capacity to hold back unsolicited criticism.
Asking him for feedback is a mistake.
