Personality

All in all, Jeremiah is a handful. He has a very uninviting aura, which matches the glare in his eyes whenever someone approaches him. Ever since a young age, he feels wary of strangers and is automatically suspicious of just about anyone he comes across. This builds up a habit of being cautious of people's intentions all the time. He has highly defensive and paranoid reactions and they usually reflect how insensitive he is towards other people's feelings with how blunt his words are. He's loud enough to drive people away and he's fine with that.

Nevertheless, his observation towards other people and his surroundings makes him very perceptive and quick to act in a fast-paced environment. He is skilled at being resourceful and making use of things around him given a short period of time. He's very accepting of animals and treats them as an equal by conversing with them, but when it comes to people, he fails to convey things the proper way, so most of the time he resorts to actions, which he also has less control of, so his mannerisms are rough when he tries to comfort someone. Despite all that, he's naturally a protective person even if he has yet to learn the boundaries of the people around him, but once he does, his loyal side will shine and be known resolute.

History

Born and raised in Comodo by a single mother, Jeremiah did what every other kid would do and tried to fit in with the rest of his peers, but unfortunately things didn't go too well. At age 5, he became the perfect target for bullying, thus all the physical abuse and name calling lasted long enough to shape him into what he is today - a defensive, violent, paranoid brat.

Without the support of the other family members (because they want nothing to do with the sudden pregnancy), his mother took Jeremiah to Einbroch to supposedly give him a better life. She got into a relationship at that point so that someone would be around at home, but unbeknownst to her, the man wasn't at all the father figure she hoped he'd be to Jeremiah. Once again, the abuse followed suit. Although Jeremiah did fight back, the severity of it was much different than being bullied by others his age and unfortunately, it was easy enough to blame the boy's own abrasiveness to cover up all the marks and bruises that were there. While he did endure the backlash most of the time, he would rather disappear throughout the day and return when both adults were asleep. This routine lasted until his step-father's so-called business went bankrupt and he quickly abandoned them, leaving the loan sharks to harass Jeremiah and his mother regarding the man's debts. Although his mother managed to steer them away, they lost a lot and his paranoia increased tenfold. Deciding that he needed to do something, he left his mother a note, telling her not to worry and that he'll get the money back to buy her a roof over her head. He then proceeded to Payon where he turned Archer - a class he willingly chose in order to connect to her and with respect to the sacrifices she had made for him.

So here he is, glued to the Eden Group at 13 and learning to save up as much as he could while getting by along with a certain group of people he's gradually getting comfortable with.

Trivia

• Jeremiah is his birth name, but he introduces himself as Jeremy. It's not a big difference, but he is paranoid.
• He has a cockney accent. Although some of the words he says are hard to understand because he just pronounces however he wants to. He never received proper education growing up, therefore his reading is mediocre and his spelling is quite horrible. Both Council and Faris come to his aid later.
• He's a kleptomaniac and has pocketed at least one item during each mission. Sometimes they're useful and sometimes they get him in trouble.
• He can cook, so he does it when he camps out instead of preoccupying an Eden Headquarters bed that day. He doesn't go out of his way to make it taste amazing or anything because clearly there's no need to.
• He crafts arrows to pass the time and when he's stressed. It's his way of venting, so he knew Making Arrow rather early.
• After much a hurdle, he had recently transitioned to Thief with Ariadne's help, but still keeps onto his bow-like ways.

Relationships

Arondight  [ father ]

Although they have briefly met, he is not aware that Arondight is his biological father, but he does feel drawn towards him. As much as he thinks he's dumb, he does admires how huge and protective he is enough to consider him a father figure. Regardless, he misses him being around and it rekindles his liking for the beach back in Comodo.

Ariadne  [ friend ]

Despite Ariadne's random need for hugs, he ends up being close with him and spends a lot of time at the bakery where he works at. He doesn't understand his ramblings sometimes, but he has learned to pick up the important parts... and the curse words.

Faris  [ friend ]

Jeremy butts heads with Faris a lot because he tends to remind him of his bullies, but he has shown more good than harm, especially trying to help him improve his reading. Still, his "prince-ly" ways towards every girl is kind of creepy. He's a bad influence, but not all bad.

Mosaic Rosencourt  [ friend ]

A nice girl whose niceness he assumed to be suspicious, but it turns out he was very wrong. The more he spends time with her, the more he learns how genuine she is and is gradually compromising his rough mannerisms to suit her judgement. He eventually has feelings for her.

Council Cato  [ friend ]
