Background
Birthplace: 0° 59' 44.1766'', 174° 45' 34.2756'' @ 4:13 AM; right off the coast of Hellmurder/Arc Island; its pretty humid, but its cool along the coast if you stay out of the sun.
Family: grandpa and bec! well ok, ive got more then them, theres also grandma, jake, and curie, but jake got to start his exploring early, so grandpa volunteered to stay home with me until i was old enough. but our travel schedules are very confusing, so i dont really get to see jake, or my grandma, or the cat that often, usually only around holidays if we can swing it; except now someones trying to boot us off the island, so grandmas staying home to take care of the legal work, which is great timing, because jake started collage and cant get on site education like we usually get. grandma and grandpa are explorers! but mostly they do science for income and run several high end companies that deal with science. the worked together to found skaianet, which is the biggest line of technological advancement in the world, and it offers services to nearly every country weve visited(there arent many that we havent). weve got a pretty good rep, but jake and i are known to be wild children because of our lack of a normal “social upbringing“, which is bullshit if you ask me, were fine!!! oh! then theres nanna and poppop, who are also our grandparents, but more indirectly, and uncle dad(his names actually thomas but he has everyone call him dad, like, everybody) whos a really good baker, and jane and john, who are our second cousins.Professions and Crafts: jake and i grew up getting the same education-- sharpshooting, adventuring, science-- but we both excelled in different things. jakes better at surviving on his own and social interaction, and im better in the lab and gathering data. i love science and all, but he absolutely got the better end of that stick.Possessions: i dont carry much on me that no one wouldnt already have on them-- superglue, a first aid kit, tool belt, army knife, microscope, an extension cord, soldering iron, five computers... you know, the norm. Existing Conflicts: why dont people understand that just because im a girl doesnt mean im a prize to be won, nor a damsel in distress? why cant I just not get betrothed to the Rajkumar? or the dukes son? or any number of royalty? why am i not allowed to carry weapons onto school grounds, even with a perfectly accurate, to form, and legally attained permit?
Duties and Obligations: i dont have any duties that im obligated to acknowledge, but i think its kind of believed that ill take over skaianet when im old enough. i dont know why anyone would think that-- grandma and grandpa are only about 50, theyre not going anywhere anytime soon-- but ive thought about it, and it might not be such a bad idea-- if i ignore the business end of it and focus on the science.Significant Past Events: death of parents; jake and grandma leaving for adventuring; first adventure(india); first day of middle school(january: 7th grade, stayed with jane and john); first actual face to face meeting with eridan(some holiday, possibly thanksgiving, maybe christmas).
Mysteries: who is my penpal, and what are they like; do they like science? where is my parents room and why cant i open it? why do i keep falling asleep at random intervals, and jake doesnt? where is bec, its dinnertime and he has to eat! what were my parents like? would they have liked me? how are grandma and grandpa even in a stable relationship with all this time apart? why am i more like grandma, and jakes more like grandpa, when jake rarely sees grandpa, and i rarely see grandma? how is it that when i try to talk to people im a complete train wreck but they dont seem to notice? or do they notice and just not tell me? why cant i be more like jake?
Adventure Trigger: who are you? what is this, and what is the purpose? when is the best time for an adventure? where am i, and what is the culture like? why have i not built myself a personal rocket ship yet? how will i learn more today?
Quests: to learn who her penpal is; to figure out stuff about her parents; to get royalty to stop proposing; to beat the system; to get through her final year of high school without having to leave half way through the year for an adventure, and having to finish her schooling online over the summer. to graduate with her class.
Notes: Shes very sporadic with what she does, and its very hard to tell what shes going to do next. She enjoys adventuring, and learning new things, especially about people and their culture. She tends towards forgetfulness and ties multicolored strings around her fingers to remember the important things. She can be stubborn when she needs to be and the police usually drag her into the station at least twice every time shes not abroad(mostly for sticking up for the underdog, whoever that may be[coughtavroscough]). She's always willing to make friends, but doesn't do well in social situations that aren't with people she already knows, and she knows it. She tries to brush it off though. What she has trouble with is when people criticize her for not being 'normal'(most of the time its not on purpose, and she knows that, but it still hurts a bit. She's a bit jealous of Jake for being able to ignore such comments and jabs so easily.) She has a bit of a temper and can get riled up pretty easily if you know the right buttons to push. She's a bit naive when it comes to social norms, bit has great knowledge about the world and how it actually works, both geographically and socially, as well as customs for various countries, and peoples.
Whenever her Grandpa takes her adventuring, he usually has to go through a lot of politics to get them through smoothly, and this has introduced her to many a number of political figures and royalty, as well as their children. Those around her age always tend to attempt at courting her, but she's not ever really sure what to do, and they're nice, but they all tend to treat her like she's a delicate flower, which she definitely is not(though she is flattered sometimes) and she's not that appreciative of it, she can save herself better than they could. There's a lot of things about her parents that she doesn't know-- how they died, who they were-- and she's curious, but isn't sure if she really wants to know who they were. Whenever she has troubles she usually goes to Jake because he understands her the best out of everyone, and they can usually bounce ideas off one another if they need too.
A lot of Jade's character for me is inspired by Agatha from
this comic. Especially the science.
