...personality
Likes:
- Boys and Girls – Jayden is bisexual and proud of it. He can be seen checkinh the talent every now and then. He’s slightly fussy when it comes to checking them out, as usually he’ll only pick people with brain and brawn/beauty.
- Water – it’s obvious since he’s an otter. He could just stay underwater for hours.
- Books – Jayden is a bookworm and will race through any fantasy and/or Mythology book. He is currently writing a fantasy novel himself, as well as a book of poetry.
- Comics – Jayden is a big fan of comics, especially Marvel. He has all the X-Men comics, most of the big events in Marvel and the Runaways.
- Movies – along with his love of books, Jayden has an array of movies, ranging from Disney’s Tarzan to Lord of the Rings. Oh, and diss Disney and you’ll get a punch in the face!
- Chocolate – Jayden loves chocolate and has a stash of it in his bedside cabinet. It’s a wonder he’s so fit.
- Working out – of course like any other guy, Jayden likes to keep himself fit for the people. Maybe that’s why he never gets fat from all that chocolate.
- Friends – Jayden loves making friends and loves teaching people American Sign Language.
- Cheeky and Playful – Like his animal, Jayden is rather cheeky and playful. He’ll sometimes play harmless pranks on people, mindful to never go too far with them. Also, he’ll be one of the ones to break the rules if it’s something he feels passionate about.
- Mythology – Jayden loves learning about Mythology, any kind of Mythology but especially Greek.
Dislikes:
- Jocks and Preps - Jayden hates people who think they own the place when they don't and sometimes wants to teach them a lesson or two.
- Bullies - Jayden thinks bullies are just great big cowards how pick on the little people just so they can feel big.
- People picking up on him due to his small size – It’s not so a dislike as more of a rather deep hatred. One word about his size and you might as well get ready to be run over by a steam train. He will literally try to maul you so always have someone nearby, or better yet, don’t say anything.
- Heavy metal – he doesn’t understand why people can like that sort of stuff. He doesn’t have people who do listen to it but just wouldn’t listen to it himself.
- Overly happy people – seriously, why do people need to be like this? Their life can’t be that great! Enjoy life, sure but there is absolutely no need to be insanely happy about it.
- Overly depressed people – again, no need people! Sort yourself out!
- Alcoholics – Jayden dislikes alcoholics. He can understand why they’re addicts but just doesn’t think it’s healthy.
- Drug addicts – it’s same with drugs.
- Boredom – Jayden unfortunately gets bored easily and so constantly has to be doing something.
- Coffee – just prefers tea.
Fears: (At least 3)
- Losing his breath under water
- Losing his loved ones.
- Being alone – Jayden has this idea that people are only his friends because they feel sorry for him due to him being mute.
Strengths:
- Sign Language – Jayden is a master at American Sign Language, and is quickly British Sign Language via an internet course.
- His photographic memory/intelligence – his intelligence and photographic memory has come in handy numerous times, especially when studying for exams.
- Muteness – while being mute has its disadvantages, it also has its advantages. Through being mute, Jay has learned to watch and listen, taking in every minute detail.
Weaknesses:
- Muteness – being mute has its drawbacks like everything else. Due to this, Jay has gained a mild inferiority complex.
- Vicious – much like his animal, Jayden can become quite vicious and has known to maul people when enraged.
- His loved ones – Jayden will do most things for the ones he loves and will protect them if they are in danger.
Overall: [400 words minimum]
Upon meeting Jayden, you'll see that he's rather shy but he'll be himself after a period of time. He's really friendly and likes to make new friends. When with friends, he can have a laugh and tease his friends but knowing his limits. Jayden is usually the one who people go to for advice and tends to be able to figure some of the answers to their problems. In other cases, he'll just shut up and let them figure things out for themselves, believing that people should learn things for themselves.
Jayden has a somewhat naive view on life, often viewing things as simple and can act childlike sometimes. However, Jayden is mature and intelligent for the majority of the time. He is an observer, watching the little things that most people might miss. Being mute isn't that amazing and Jayden will have bouts of depression and subsequently has gained mild to medium case of an inferiority complex.
If Jayden likes someone, he'll be shy and awkward around them until he professes his love for them, which probably will either take him a long time for him to do so or he'll just tell them after a few days. When he does date someone, he'll be a fiery and passionate lover, making his lover's life enjoyable while making sure that they both listen to each other's problems. If his lover is in trouble, then Jayden will stand by them no matter what.
Jayden is a big fan of Musicals and will be seen dancing and silently singing. He hates it when someone points out that he can’t talk and if he is “singing” then you had seriously better get the hell out of there! He’s touchy I know.
Jayden is a lover of literature and will usually race through books, absorbing knowledge due to his photographic memory. Jayden’s preferred books of choice are fantasy books and Mythology books. Jayden is a natural bookworm and soaks any knowledge he is given, no matter how small it is. To help him remember things, Jayden has a sort of photographic memory. Once he hears, sees, smells or touches something, he will be able to remember it, and it will stay with him. This is why Jayden has attained such a high standard of academic grades throughout his life.
Jayden's enemies better beware of his rage. He's a cold as ice when dealing with enemies. If one of his enemies has harmed one of his loved ones, then he'll track them down and make them pay for what they've done. There are two sure-fire ways to get him mad. One is to badmouth his family and his friends and the other is to betray him i.e. tell a private secret or turn over to the dark side. However, given a little time, Jayden is able to forgive if it's something he knows isn't worth getting mad at.

Celebrity Play By: Joe Brooks
Appearance: [400 words minimum]
Jayden is a young man with a fairly muscular body. This is due to Jayden doing push-ups and sit-ups as well as doing outdoor pursuits. He has a light tan, which hints that he has spent most of his time outdoors. He has honey blonde to dark blonde hair, which reaches down to the nape of his neck. The front part of his hair falls over hazel eyes, which sit nicely above a button-shaped nose. The mouth could be described as “kissable” and he certainly has the perfect shaped mouth for it. Overall height-wise, Jayden is 5'3, which means that he is small for his age. He has a bag of laminated, written on cards with phrases on them to help him communicate with people who can’t sign.
Clothes-wise, Jay tends to wear t-shirts and hoodies, coupled with jeans and white Adidas trainers. He doesn’t believe in dressing up in smart clothes and will only do so if there is a special event i.e. a wedding etc. He has a friendship bracelet on his right hand that a friend gave him and a necklace, resembling a dog tag. On one side it has a phoenix engraved on it and on the other side, the words: “Singing is the key to happiness” are engraved onto it. Jayden is described as being a "hottie", whether it be by girls or guys. He has that look about him that just screams sexy.
Jayden’s otter form is very unique in the sense that it’s small, so in that respect, Jay’s small stature is carried over from his human form. Also, there appears to be a blonde streak which runs from the nape of his neck to the tip of his tail. His fur is a rich chocolate colour, which is not usually seen in otters. His black beady eyes are the same watchful eyes when in human form and his cute button nose gives way to whiskers either side of his nose.[/size]
...history
Parents: Nathaniel and Antonia Richardson
Siblings: Annabelle (older sister, 22), Naomi (older sister, 19), Tristan and Icarus (twins, 14), Blossom (younger sister, 12)
[400 words minimum]
Jayden was born third out of six children. Of course with Jay being mute, his parents and two older sisters had to take up sign language, though they didn’t mind. They loved their beautiful Jayden and would shower him with love. From a very early age, Jayden was told and shown the family secret. They were shifters, of course they had to take their clothes off (which was especially embarrassing for Annabelle and Naomi) but it didn’t really matter to Jay, as he found it exciting and would more often than not, become happy when it happened. He would clap happily whenever a family member shifted.
Jayden was quite the playful one during his toddler years, and Nathaniel and Antonia would often speculate as to what animal Jay would be when he was older. One other thing that they noticed was Jayden’s love for water. He seemed more comfortable whenever it was bath time. Antonia surmised that he may become a fish shifter but Nathaniel pointed out his playfulness, overriding her statement. Three years later, the Richardson family got two new bundle of joys, Tristan and Icarus. They became especially close with Jay, with him being three years older. They would wail whenever he went away and would abruptly become calm again whenever he was near.
Two more years passed and the Richardsons received their final addition to the family, Blossom. So the family was complete and they became a close-knit bunch in the years to come. As for Jayden, he became a master in Sign Language. Jayden’s first shifting was particularly tough as Blossom was pestering him over a small thing. He suddenly snapped and shifted, moving to attack. He became an otter and nimbly went to strike his little sister but fortunately Annabelle and Naomi went to fight him. Since they were more concerned for Blossom, who hadn’t shifted yet, the family were quite shocked, though Blossom seemed to be unfazed by the attack. He fought his sisters for a good while before succumbing to exhaustion. When he came to, after getting dressed, Jay apologised to his younger sister and was then told shift again. Confused, Jay took of his clothes and shifted, noting the pain. After five shifts, Jay didn’t feel pain anymore and was welcomed into the family as a shifter.
Jayden started the Academy when he was fourteen. He was noted for being exceptional in creative and social classes, thus he took up Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Mythology. Jayden is now in Eleventh Grade and loves being an otter shifter.
...connecting human to animal
[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
As a lover of water, Jayden would quite happily use up all eight minutes of breathing time underwater. He is currently trying to see if he can last for longer. Another aspect of his otter form is his playfulness. Jayden is close to his younger siblings (despite having attacked Blossom) and is known for playing with them in this form most of the time. Additionally, Jayden is known for his vicious nature and has been known to go all out and maul people who have made comments about his small stature or about his family.
...literacy
RP Sample[/i] From a Percy Jackson site.
Grey stormy eyes narrowed in anger as they gazed into the eyes of an Ares kid. Electricity crackled in the air as the son of the great Goddess of Wisdom stared down the almost barbaric son of Ares, the God of War. Kai’s fists were bunched and his whole frame was tense, as if he was ready to pounce like a panther. Fiona, an Apollo kid stood beside the mute kid looked worriedly from one to the other. This wasn’t good. Greg, the Ares kid had been slagging Kai for being mute. Kai had found out and now he was mad. Really mad. And when you made Kai mad, then you’d better run.
Thoughts whirled in Kai’s head and Fiona was seriously worried that there would be a fight soon. She had come to make sure that the mute Athenian kid was alright
“You should run, Greg,” said Fiona finally, meeting the Ares kid’s eyes. The kid had no idea how mad Kai could get. If Greg knew the story of Arachne, then he could guess what would happen if he pushed too far. “Kai, let Greg be.” This might help but it probably wouldn’t. Kai’s nose flared and then lunged. Greg easily dodged and let forth a punch. Kai dodged and instantly worked out plans for beating the stupid kid. Fiona flitted next to Kai, grabbed her mute companion by the sleeve and dragged him away. Greg had a smug smile and walked away. Kai however, wasn’t pleased with the turn of events.
<<What are you doing?!>> signed Kai angrily. He then stamped down, which made Formoses flinch. The girl looked down at Kai disapprovingly. He lightly slapped Kai on the head and then dashed away to the Athena Cabin. The door crashed open and the other kids curiously as the girl steered the protesting child to his dorm.
“What in the name of everything holy do you think you were doing back there?” The tone in Fiona’s voice made Kai stop struggling and protesting. Kai looked at the girl, shamefaced.
<<He made fun of me being mute>>
“As a son of Athena, you should have realised your folly sooner. Now, you will find Greg and apologise.”
<<What?>>
“Don’t what me, Bookworm! You will do as I say. And you will do it now!”[/b][/i][/size]
