*Nervously tosses his sheet in with the others*<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Character Sheet.</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Jake Stevenson 'Jay'<br/><br/><strong>Role:</strong>Prisoner<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>23<br/><br/><strong>Physical description:</strong>Extremely well toned and fit due to his period in the force, he values his physique very highly. His body is slightly tanned as he often ventured out of his home (before his time in prison) and walked in the hot Sun for many hours with no particular aim in sight. The tattoos that cover the front of his body continue on his back also; the dragon upon his shoulder continues to wind down his back, the tip of the tail finishing just above his hip bone.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Picture:</strong>Jay (http://oi54.tinypic.com/200wpdc.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Small History:</strong>Ex-military, discharged on medical grounds. Part of the bulk of a front line force, he couldn't handle the traumatic events that unfolded on the battlegrounds he fought on, going into panic attacks, fits of depression and even mania. He was discharged after only two months in service and went against his Captain's advice of seeking medical help upon arriving back in the civilian world; using alcohol instead to self-medicate his problems.<br/><br/>While being discharged, he felt a great deal of shame in the fact that he couldn't handle the responsibility; that he had failed in his duty and the men that he had fought beside. He suffered a great deal of depression regarding the topic, and  shut himself away in his house, not once venturing out in the seven months between his discharge and prison sentence.<br/><br/>As the rent on his property grew, he received many calls from his landlord, all of which were ignored due to the deep self-containment his mind created; effectively sealing himself from anyone and everything else. Eventually the man came directly into his house, and Jay was deeply disturbed by the man invading his personal space and privacy, lapsing into something of a trance in which he violently strangled the landlord, killing him in cold blood. The reason behind such a violent reaction is unclear, though the most likely cause is the disturbance of an extremely tense mental state; something of a tragic accident.<br/><br/>Once the red mist had left him however, he came to realise what he had done in killing another human being outside of war, and the guilt coupled with depression effectively caused his mind to split into two personalities in order to deal with his crime.<br/><br/>One side is his default 'setting', where he is fairly pleasant and well-mannered, with nothing out of the ordinary about him as he is completely ignorant to any wrong-doing on his part. Should he somehow be reminded of his crime, however, the guilt spikes within him, and as his mind cannot handle it, as a defensive mechanism he shifts into his other personality.<br/><br/>That is a deeply reserved and quiet personality, left to bare the guilt so that the natural personality doesn't have to; he becomes extremely withdrawn and submissive for an extremely long period of time until he is somehow removed from the situation. In this state he is also extremely volatile, able to suddenly lash out at a moment's notice should anyone come too close in much the same way as he lashed out at his Landlord. As this suggests, when in this state he is deeply resentful of anyone coming into his ‘personal space’, though where the boundary of aid space is can be difficult to tell.
