Friends: While Jamie is rough around the edges and isn't the most trusting guy, he would take a bullet for his friends. When around friends he can often be extroverted and loves science, pool, cards, etc. he's not much of a television or movie person as he grew up without a tv, but there are certain shows and movies that he regards as "art" such as Breaking Bad and The Usual Suspects. He has a bad background with a schizophrenic mom who was/is a heavier drinker and a drug addict so he didn't have a very pretty home life. As such he's able to be friends with the more troubled sort and prefers them as he finds "normal" people weird because they haven't been through hard stuff. These are the kinds of people who freak out when the toilet backs up. They don't know when shits about to hit the fan. Meanwhile, he's also got the genius to befriend the smarter, more civilized of folk and sit there talking about books or the theoretics of his mutation or any number of other things. Just be warned that this is a guy who says bitch more than Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman. Jamie has always been pretty accepting of others lifestyles. Even before he was a mutant. His best friend is gay. Jamie also has a great sense of humor that's like a mix between Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chappelle.
Enemies: Jamie is bound to make more enemies than friends. Jamie isn't the easiest guy to get along with and he's very rough around the edges. He can come off as an asshole. And he can be an asshole. Especially if he doesn't like you. He's bound to get in arguments and fights with other hard-headed types. He can also be very grumpy and stubborn. Some people also might not like his excessive usage of the word bitch. Jamie also has a drinking and gambling problem. The fact that Jamie has a hard time trusting and forgiving others can lead to problems. He can hold a grudge for a longtime. Also, being a hard-headed teenager, Jamie tends to do a lot of reckless stuff despite his intelligence. This will probably provoke some problems with the more straight laced types as you might find him making fulminated mercury to blow something up for fun. He also doesn't care what you are. Doesn't matter. Which is often a plus, but it also means that he doesn't care if you're a girl. If you fuck with him or his friends he has no inhibitions towards kicking you're ass. You have been warned, Jamie can be a very violent person.
Lovers: Young, Jamie doesn't know all the ropes to relationships. He isn't going to be incredibly smooth and he's going to say and do the wrong thing sometimes. He's blunt, stubborn and hardheaded and will say what he things. He will not speak of feelings much though. He's never been the best at expressing his feelings. He tends to let things bottle up. But you always know where you stand with him. He will straight up tell you what you're doing that angering him. He'd probably never admit it, but Jamie is a teen dreamer type. He does secretly want romance and one day have a wife and kids. He has a surprising amount of passion in him when it comes to things he cares deeply about. However, it isn't always going to be easy, there aren't always going to be pretty lights and fireworks. He's got a lot of baggage buried in him and he is troubled. He sometimes seems callous and rough around the edges. He has both a drinking and a gambling problem. He is overprotective. Things will be complicated sometimes and there will be fights.
Fremenies: Jamie is intriguing in the sense that he can either absolutely hate someone who is scarily similar to him in certain ways, yet they are similar enough in other ways that he can tolerate them for short amounts of times and actually hold a normal, peaceful conversation with them at times. These people are people he's going to get into huge fights with. There is no doubt that he might get into full blown fist fights with them. They are going to disagree over key things. Maybe the guys a bully. Maybe his friends a bully and Jamie beat e shit out of him for beating the shit out of someone half his size. Maybe Jamie was just being a genuine asshole around him. He can unnecessarily do that sometimes due to his sometimes callous and violent behavior.
Mentors: This is someone who teaches him obviously. It doesn't necessarily have to be a teacher. It could be an older student in their twenties who's been at the X-mansion for years. Hell! Make things interesting and have a strained mentor-student with a member of the brotherhood! Where he learns something from them every time they meet. Maybe they have some very key differences but the other sees potential or him/herself in him and perhaps Jamie respects their skill and knowledge but disagrees with them. And it doesn't excess airy have to be about his powers. It could be about life in general. Like how to not live as a damaged, alcoholic gambler for the rest of his life and try to open up his eyes. Maybe it's someone of a higher intelligence than him like Beast. Jamie might be a genius but he still has a hell of a lot to learn.
Others: Anything else you might think of. I'm open for anything really.
Thread Ideas:
. I'm currently making his first thread on the board where two people from his past attack him. Maybe a member of the x-men or even one of the students intervenes and helps him. Thus tying him into the school. Then they can be the one who brings him to the school and what not. He'd be untrusting of the person at first as nobody had ever stuck their neck out for him like that except his two best friends.
. If it doesn't take place in that thread, obviously arriving at the mansion could be a good idea. It could be a continuation of the previous thread skipping over the rides there and what not.
. First danger room session's got to have a spot on the list. I can see if it's with a group, Jamie just being a smart ass and turning it off. Done. Jamie versus Danger Room . . . Jamie. He doesn't have the best control over his powers so maybe he could lose control a bit in there.
