Personality

Jeremy is a rather energetic and outgoing man. He is very excitable and enthusiastic about all things related to learning and his work. Loves to learn anything about Asian cultures and can ramble on for hours about them. He is a kind and caring man who falls in love far too easily and with the wrong people for the most part. He is a huge foodie and claims it's his favourite part of travelling, yet he can't really cook much himself. He is extremely flamboyant and very gay and it shows clearly in his mannerisms. He struggles to hide that when he's travelling in places that would be more dangerous for him. He has a nose for trouble, liking to go to places he shouldn't to sniff out corruption and bring them to the light of the media. Likely has arrest warrants in some places.

History

Background

Jeremy was a charismatic, well liked person in his youth. He was a star football player in his youth (soccer for the American readers). He excelled at his studies and took an interest in history, always taking on extra projects more for fun than extra credit. He annoyed his teachers by correcting their lessons.

Jeremy dove into university right away, starting his degrees off at his hometown University in Hull. He transfered not long after to continue his education in London, living with his mother who currently resides there. His interest in football declined and he started taking up martial arts instead, excelling at that quite well. His interest in martial arts seeped into his education as he started to pursue degrees in East Asia studies, specifically Japan. He eventually earned his doctorate degree and turned around to start teaching at the university.

Jeremy started travelling the world in between his classes to do research. He nearly got arrested a few times for this, and likely has arrest warrants somewhere in the world. He often had casual flings with the locals when he travelled, not interested in long term relationships for now. He's struggled to keep his sexuality quiet in areas of the world where it's not as accepted due to being raised in an accepting family and nation.

Jeremy was on a long trip to Japan, charting and drawing maps from an airplane when their plane crashed onto an island Jeremy noted didn't exist on the maps moments prior. Jeremy was the only survivor of the crash. He was found by, much to his surprise, a band of samurai sent to scout out the strange thing that fell from the sky. Jeremy thought he somehow time travelled and knew he'd be in huge trouble if he didn't act properly. He struggled a bit because they spoke a dialect of archaic Japanese he never heard of, but he caught on quickly.

The village was raided when they were determining what to do with Jeremy. They threw the man in armour adn handed him weapons, not knowing if he'd live or die and not exactly caring at the moment. He surprised them all and himself by not only surviving the battle, but cutting down one of the notable samurais from the attacking village. They decided to assign Jeremy to a teacher and train him properly to be a samurai.

He quickly developed a friendship with the hardened man named Hayato, much to his surprise, and found the man incredibly attractive, growing more and more fond of him. He didn't know the feelings were mutual until Jeremy comforted Hayato in the midst of a night terror. The two men quickly became intimate with each other. Jeremy brought Hayato back home with him to London and is helping the man adjust to modern times. Though, everyone back home is startled that Jeremy actually settled down in a serious, committed relationship.

Family

Jeremy had a relatively normal childhood. His parents split up when he was around ten years old and moved to opposite ends of the country. Jeremy stayed in Hull with his father till adulthood. He has one brother and one sister, Jeremy being the youngest of them all.

Accepted Headcanons:

  • Jeremy would smell like super expensive cologne most of the time, but if he forgets to put it on he'd have that old-book smell, and maybe smell a little like some sort of flower.
  • Dr. Becker, usually in a lighthearted manner, will tell his classes about his travels and hold pop quizzes for what they learned about the culture and their teacher from his wild adventures the next time he held that class.
