adventurous, caring, thievious.
[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]Name: jordyn alexander kalabar
Nickname(s): Jordyn, Jay, Jor, Jord
Disney Character: Aladdin
Age: Seventeen
Birthdate: September 16, 1992
Birthplace: Dallas, TX
Orientation: None at the moment.
Member group: hero/heroine
Education: Jordyn completed elementary school, but not all of high school. He is not attending college at this time, mainly because he cannot afford it. He was taught at the orphanage he stayed at until he was fifteen. Basically, he was home-schooled.
Let's start with the face. Jordyn's eyes are probably the first thing you'd notice about him. His eyes are small in shape but they have seen a lot of things. His eyes are the key to his soul. Those dark brown eyes hold everything that he has seen in his life; all that he has been through.
Next would be his hair. He has short, curly tendrels of hair that lay unruly on top of his head. They are hard to tame at times, since he has a horrible bed head when he wakes up, but he uses special ingredients to get it to work. What I mean is, either he really doesn't care how it looks at times, or he uses water. Yep, talk about special ingredients. ;)
His nose is a normal size - there's nothing to complain about in that one. He thinks that his one other best feature, besides his eyes is most likely his heart-shaped lips. He even thinks that, that is something that attracts people to him besides his other traits.
Jordyn would like to have some muslces, but his whole body is pretty much undefined. He does run around a lot, and he does get good exercise, but he barely eats due to his lack of money. He doesn't have anyone around to support him, and there are no jobs accepting him at this moment. He doesn't even go to school. He's skinny for his age.
Now, for his clothing. He can't afford fancy shmancy clothes. He has a small selection of clothes. His style is simple; his usual clothes is a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He wears sneakers, and on "special occasions" he would wear his boots. Basically, when he's in a good mood he'll slip on the ol' good luck boots.
Overall, his appearance isn't too shabby. He can pass for an innocent-looking teenager. But his words are much wiser than his appearance.
[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]Best Feature: I think it's my eyes. The chocolate brown color, and the intensity along with the fact that they show my soul and how old I truly am. Physically I may look seventeen, but if you look deep into these dark orbs you can see I'm at least 20 years older than I appear.
Worst Feature: There really isn't much that's bad about my physical, but I guess you can say my chest. It's undefined. I think I may need to start working out more.
Something Memorable: Definitely my hair. It always has been the curly fro that has attracted people, as well as made people remember me. They'd always go "oh yeah, that kid with the curly hair," Etc. That's just how it is I guess.
Trouble Maker: Jordyn isn't really innocent as he looks. He is poor - how else will he get around? He's a trouble maker because if he didn't steal the things he couldn't afford (pretty much everything) then he wouldn't be able to survive. He steals things, and gets caught most of the time. That's where running away comes in handy. There is a place called the poor house, and they're always there to help people. There isn't one around where he lives.
Thievious: I feel that he is this way because if he didn't steal things, then he would pretty much starve. You know?
Sneaky: His state of mind makes him very good at being sneaky. He's able to do things without being noticed sometimes. Though, he is also very clumsy, so that definitely ruins being sneaky if he knocks something down when he's ready to make a run for it.
Caring/Kind-hearted: He isn't the only poor person in New York City. There are other people as well - even children. Even though he could barely help himself, he decides to help others as well. When he sees people like him searching for food, and the only food he has is what he has took, he would give the food to them. He knows that its good to care about yourself first before others, but in some cases you have to care about others first. Karma is always good for the soul.
Adventurous: He likes to see new things, despite his lack of money. Long walks around the city really amazes him. There's so much of New York City he hasn't seen. He likes Times Square the best - especially at night. Its very bright and pretty. There are a lot of people out clubbing as well. He can be amazed easily.
[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]Likes: the city at night, adventures, seeing his friends, helping out others, getting good things in return for what he does at times, sunny weather, generous people, food, his innocent face, getting away with things.
Dislikes: rain, the snow, getting in trouble, crossing streets, getting a cut or hurting himself accidentally, not being able to get a job, being caught when stealing, being chased, not being able to eat, losing things, new years.
Positive Traits:
Caring: His care for other people like him is definitely good. When he helps them, it makes him feel good. Isn't being caring always a good trait?
Adventurous: Being adventurous at heart makes his imagination wild. He always has good ideas that gets him places; like when he needs food. If he steals, he knows just the right way to do it. The other thing about this is that he always has the will to get up from his "home" and walk around the city; explore. His home is portable anyway.
Sneaky: Jordyn's sneakyness is a good trait. He has learned to be sneaky throughout his years of being in the city. After a while he learned to do things like well, being sneaky; both physically and mentally. It has good advantages.
Negative Traits:
Thievious: Being a thief is never good. Stealing always gets you in trouble. Its definitely not a good trait.
Adventurous: Looking for adventure sometimes isn't that good. There could be adventure that you don't know about that could get you hurt.
Caring: Caring too much isn't good either. If you care about the wrong person, they can take your care and step all over you if they find you a pushover. Luckily, Jordyn knows what he's doing most of the time, so he doesn't get in too deep.
Most intriguing quirk(s): Biting his lip when he gets nervous. The nervousness is definitely evident when he is.
Greatest Ambition: To be able to earn enough money to get out of the streets and own his own home.
Greatest Fear: Dying; going insane. The last thing that Jordyn wants to do is end up dying without living his full life. He's barely a legal adult - he's poor and he can barely survive without the street skills he has. He wants to live a good life; better than it already is. He wants everything to get better - and he has been trying.
Jordyn never had any family - he's never met his birth parents, he didn't even bother trying to find them. If they left him how he is, then they obviously didn't care enough to take care of him. He raised himself, he's always had his own morals from a child. He wasn't always stealing though. There was at one point where he was in an orphanage and taken care of. But when he was fifteen he decided to leave that orphanage. He thought it was better to be in the outside world, and all the adults' that helped at the orphanage were lying about what really happened. He knows that he was an idiot for leaving and thinking that everything was going to be okay, because it wasn't. No one offered to help him, they just went on with their own lives. They only cared about themselves.
Jordyn didn't want to be like those people - he wanted to help others in his situation. He offered other people help - to do what he did to get what they needed to survive. He was caring. If he did find some people that didn't have food when he had it, he would give it to them. Sometimes it was just best to help others in more need than you. It's good for the soul; that was his motto. That's what led him to who he is. Even though it took him a couple of years to realize he needed to grow up already and find a job like a normal teenager. It was hard though. Many places didn't accept him because of his reputation, the way he was dressed and because he was poor. Geez, no one has helped him yet. They say that God helps those who try to help themselves. How long has he been doing that, again? His whole life, and he's still stuck the way he is.
[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]Best Memory: One time when he stole bread from this grocery store, the owner gave him mercy. That was if he only promised to never steal from there ever again. And he decided not to. He was given twenty-dollars and he was told to leave. He was very grateful for that moment. It never happened again of course - no one else would ever be that generous. That's why he'll always remember that.
Worst Memory: His first time (and only time) getting taken to jail for stealing from a grocery store. Even though he was only there for a day, the people that were in there gave him hell. He was beaten - that was, in fact, the worst day of his life.
Top 3 life-changing moments:
Stealing: This has taught him to be sneaky when he does so; to be careful. Being caught has great consequences, and he cannot stand to deal with jail again. Going to jail twice - well, it could be much worse the second time.
Going to Jail: He learned from this... never get caught. Jail is something he does not want to deal with again.
Living on the streets: This has taught him not to trust everyone you meet. It has also given him street smarts. He doesn't want to live how is is forever, he wants to get out of the slum he's in and become normal like the men in suits he sees walking around. He wants to go to college and do what they're doing.
Family relationships: Unfortunately, Jordyn has had no family throughout his child hood and teen life. He has met a couple of friends along the way, like Jasmine and Abu (who is his best friend). But, that's all he's really had. (I don't have much to say here, since those characters have not been made yet.)
Jaden scurried out of Hollowcaster bank, a whole wad of money in his pocket. It wasn't really that much. It was actually mostly singles. He headed towards the bar, Pulse, rubbing his hands together. He was fucking freezing and he forgot to put on a jacket before he left the house. He thought it would be a quick run in and out, but it wasn't. Shit. He could get frostbite for all he knew. He quickly got into line for the club, shivering and hugging himself. He bit his lip, looking up at the sign before looking back down. He smiled at the bouncer guy, quickly following a group in front of him inside so he thought that he was with them. How Jaden got in this place was unbelievable. It was never that easy. Was there something going on tonight that Jaden didn't know about?
With a roll of his eyes, Jaden took a seat at the bar and crossed his arms, sighing in relief. It was nice and warm in here. It wasn't such a good thing to be like that all the time, but right now, Jaden was satisfied. He'd probably be sweating in a matter of minutes, though. He looked at the bartender he saw every time he went to Pulse, wincing slightly when he saw her smoking. He hadn't smoked since he was sixteen. He tried to keep the habit off. Believe it or not, he found it much healthier to actually inject himself with fucking heroin than smoke. He studied what was in cigarettes once. It didn't sound to hot. It sounded real nasty. One of the other bartenders came over to him, nodding their head at him. "Hey kid, you don't look too hot." He commented, studying Jaden. Jaden just gave him a shrug, sniffling. He hoped to god he wasn't catching a cold.
"Can I get a shot?" He called, but frowned when the bartender walked away. He huffed. "Fine." He muttered to himself, playing with his sleeve. "I can wait." He whispered, rolling his eyes again when he realized he was talking to himself. Jaden started to spin around in his seat, getting dizzy. He flailed slightly, falling off his chair. Wow, way to look immature Jaden. He thought to himself, getting back up right away and sitting back in his seat. He smiled cheekily at the smoking bartender, laughing embarrassingly.
