Appearance:

Jay is 5’ 11”, 150 pounds, and much more muscle than fat. He is Pretty well toned muscle wise, and strong enough to bench 120 pounds. He is lightly tanned, with Deepish blue eyes that look grey when he isn’t looking at you. His hair is short and black, usually kept down. He doesn’t think of himself as special in anyway, just an ordinary wood cutter.

Jay likes to wear loose clothes, shorts when its cold (If he has any as they are very expensive and he usually cant buy them every Summer, especially with his dad) and wears loose boot-cut jeans in the winter. He prefers plain t-shirts all year, and when he saves the money, a light jacket. He currently owns a plain grey light jacket that he saved for years for. He also wears a pair of rugged leather shoes, low-cut despite the fact most people like to wear boots in seven, or anywhere in these times. He is a pretty fast runner, probably just slightly above average for his age. He is best though endurance wise, being able to last longer at things then most others of any age.

Personality:

Jay is a very self sufficent person, prefering to stay on his own in most to all things. He is very reluctant to trust most people, especially guys because of the way his father treats him. He is really easy to bias towards girls though, as his best friend in seven is May, a girl obviously, and he loved his sister more than anyone. He is generally pretty nice though, and prefers to spread out with friends.

He is easily angered though, and very easy to become alerted, as his fear of his father taught him. He can do some very stupid things when angry. He does though have a very soft heart for girls, and will be very loyal to any girl who earned his trust. He also tends to repay his debts, more of a motto to him though, he just doesnt usually say that because he thinks its cheesy. He loves to use words he makes up and give people nicknames, like his best friend at home, Michael, he calls Mickey, and his favorite word is schnazzy (sh-na-zzy) and he calls people Panzy.

Jay is very persistant and hard working, and will continue with a goal to the point of near death. He always likes to finish what he starts. He is very skilled with the hatchet, his tool of choice, in any situation. He is a great aim at up to about 30 feet with it, (throwing wise) and owns is own made out of wood with a titanium head, a weapon he inherited from a dying friend (Who was very wealthy). He is bad at waking up early, and a definate night person. He is alergic to nuts, which is very annoying as they are a common food in District 7.

History:

Jay hasn’t had a fairytale of a life, it all began when he was born, the probable first or second worst day of his life, which was also the day his mother died. His already unwilling and unmarried father was mad enough at having a child with this lady, but having her die was the last straw. He left the very same day, leaving Jay in the care of his twelve year old sister and their neighbors. While their neighbors, the Hawks, were very willing to help, they were to poor to adopt, so they simply provided aid, and Mr. Hawk, not exactly your picture of a wimpy man, forced Jays father to agree to at least send money to care for the children.

This made Jays father angrier, a hatred that would come back to haunt Jay. Jay was still raised in his mothers home though, his sister, Destiny pretty good at taking care of the home, could make it with the additional support from the Hawks. Jay was pretty content with life, believing his sister (Even though a half-sister) to be more of a mother to him. She told him that she had never known her father either, and that they could survive without a dad.

One day though, it all changed. Jay was twelve, and had been going to school for many years when his sister, who had began going to work in the forest to actually get them money for their own clothes, not handmedown’s, or gifts from the Hawks, she ran into an accident in which a stray tracker jacker nest had exploded from a fallen tree. Destiny had been one of the closest people and suffered from twelve stings, a fatal injection. Unfortunately for her and Jay, it didn’t kill her instantly, and she had to suffer for many hours before sweet death took her away. Jays last images of his sister were her dillusional screams, as she wretched in and out of conciousness, no doubt seeing Jay as some hideous monster.

Jay was then alone again, and this time, the Hawks had to turn to the authoritys for help. Alls they sent was Jays father, Ray Darkpine, who was incredibly angry, being wrenched from his own life from wherever else he lived, all because of the little menace Jay. This was Jays first image of his father. He was almost always drunk, and almost always in the mood to give Jay a fresh beating. Many mornings he would arive at school badly bruised or even cut to the bewilderment of his friends and teachers. He had scars on his back, that only Michael and May wold ever come to know about. He recieved even less care then and would often try to run and stay the night at the Hawks, who would willingly help, but would always have to return him the next day to his even angrier, and more drunk father.

The only good things that would ever come of this would be his incredible toughness, and his will to keep going, and stay independant. His father soon began forcing Jay to work after school, making him climb up trees and cut off branches that would become a problem while felling them. This made Jay strong and good at climbing, even though he cant climb most trees very easily any more, now having to learn how to shimy up the trunk rather than jump from branch to branch. Jay was always looking for things to do away from home, his favorite being throwing his hatchet. He has gotten good enough to where he can hit squirells and kill anything that comes within his range of fire.

His friendship with the Hawks led to his freindship with their second eldest son, Michael, they both have many friends but they are by far the closest. Michael is one year older, taller, and much stronger, the reason Jay is always trying to beat him at arm wrestling. Jays closest friend though would definately be May, a girl just a few days older than him. They had been friends since meeting when they were twelve, on the same day when Jays sister had been killed. Mays father had also died in the incident, something that had brought them together. She was brown/brunette haired, with grey eyes that you couldnt really tell if they were blue, grey or green. She was very short, and very skinny. While they didn’t always hang out together at school, they were always together afterwards. May was in his opinion the most beautiful girl in the world, but he didnt even believe that she would ever like a guy like him, he just thought they were friends, but one day she changed that. Lets not go into details, lets just skip and say they made out, and he asked her out, and obviously, she said yes. This is how May became Jays best friend.
