Name: Jackson Rudolph
Nickname: Jack
Age: 20
Birthday: December 13
Sign: Sagittarius
Gemstone: Sapphire
Blood Type: B+
Fav. Food: Curried Crab, Biscuits and Gravy, most "comfort foods." Also a large fan of lemonade and fruit juices.
Hated Food: Red meats, celery, and pickles.
School: None diploma with left school.
Hobbies: Parcheesi: Jackson picked up an antique game board when he was younger, mostly because the name sounded funny. He grew to love playin the game, and always drags the set out and insists a round when guests are over.
Gardening:Jackson lines his apartment windowsills with planters on planters full of herbs and petite varieties of vegetables. They serve as both a mostly free food source, and a way to brighten up his dingy studio.
Tea Ceremonies: Jackson finds traditional tea ceremonies to be one of the most serene experiences he can afford, what with tea leaves being cheap nowadays and everything for the ceremonies sold for a steal at the thrift store. It provides a little bit of peace in a life full of uncertainty.
Virtues: Resourcefulness: Jack excels at scraping together something from seemingly nothing, be it a delicious meal of beans and rice or a fun night on the town with his similarly broke friends. He does the same when caught in sticky situations - dodging the landlord until he scrounges up rent, getting odd jobs through friends of friends of friends, using a beer bottle to make a quick escape from an enraged bar patron.
Flexibility: Jack's only able to be so resourceful, though, because he tolerates stress and hard times so well. Not to say the man doesn't have a breaking point - it's just a lot higher up the metaphoric ladder than most. Jack doesn't mind if he's sleeping in a bed, a sleeping bag, or a blanket on the floor, just in the same way he doesn't mind having to instant ramen 8 days of the week.
Thrifty: Being a high school dropout, kicked out of his parents' house at 17, forces Jack to live a bit on the less luxurious side of life. 3 years of living on a vice gripped budget has taught Jack to not only live humbly and grow his own veggies, but how to get the most he can for as little pay - both in money and effort.
Flaws: Aimless: Jack's current goal in life is to keep breathing for the next 24 hours. His day starts without any goals, and he just hopes to make it home - or at least to some form of shelter - by the end of the night. Occasionally, he'll come up with a temporary goal, like making rent within two days, but that's as lofty as the young man's aims get.
Selfish: Jackson takes as much as he can, whenever he can. Free samples? He's the guy shoveling them into his bag until caught, and even then Jack will swipe four or five more. He's less than giving, even to friends, but gladly receives with empty promises of returning the favor. When called out on his behavior, the man tends to simply shrug and tell a spruced up sob story about his childhood.
Meddlesome: Jack loves stirring s**t up when he can, mostly for the sake of entertainment, but also in the hopes of creating situations he can use to make things better for himself. Pitching two competitive friends against each other to see who can best the other in making a cake, for instance. It's mostly petty, small things that Jack gains, but mostly the self-satisfaction of having brief control over someone.
