The history::

Jaess is born in Denmark in a city called Århus. She was a normal child, without a father, not a special sight in Denmark these days. But she used to imagine how he was a secret agent or an assassin, or something evil. Why evil? Her mother had told her that he was not a nice person, and that he had hurt her. Her mother never did explain why her father was evil, but Jaess had a few good ideas, she had very creative imagination. Every time she opened up a book or saw a movie she would imagine her father being the villain. She loved to picture him as the ugliest villain, she could think of, but she knew if he one day showed up that she would forgive him in a heartbeat. She wouldn’t even ask why he had left, she would just open her arms and hope he would hug her till she couldn’t breathe. But he never came, and over the years she forgot about him, he had no place in her heart or life. Her mother was over protective and sheltered Jaess from many things in her youth Helena never found another love, and so Jaess remained a lonely child though not spoiled. Her mother had to keep two jobs to uphold their living, and Jaess was left alone most of the time, but she had her best friend Natalie and her parents took somewhat over. Jaess never did complain, she stayed the good girl everyone expected her to be. She would often overnight at Natalie’s place when her mother was away. They were the only family she knew, and when her mother later on became sick, she lived with them whenever Helena was hospitalized.

When Jaess and Natalie were 13, they were out playing on roller-skates, a hit and run claimed Natalie’s life, Jaess was all alone and stayed there holding her dying friend in her arms. She never got over it, she changed as her very core was torn. She didn’t smile or talk over a month after the accident. She just followed the flow and did was she was told, but everyone around her could tell she was different. Two months after the death of Natalie the voices started, at first it was harmless, she would hear Natalie all over, but slowly the voice started to call her, pleading for her to end her life so that they could be together. Jaess told her mother about the voices, she had no reason not to, but her mother did what every mother would do, she admitted her, She ended up in the mental ward were the doctors wore regular clothes and everything looked as if this was just another home, but the doctors kept nagging her, asking her all sorts of questions. Like if she could see Natalie, which she couldn’t. They started to medicate her, but she didn’t like it, she became as close to a zombie as one could get, but the voice stayed with her, and after a period of time she stopped talking about it, and she was released. She stopped talking again, now she saw things, things in the shadows. Things that scared her, and her nightmares began. But she kept her mouth shut this time, because her mother would be heart-broken. She was let out of the ward, but she got worse, she stopped eating and after a month she was admitted again. New drugs were tested on her and again she pretended to get better, and when they finally did let her out, she tried to commit suicide. But the voice inside her had become stronger and had called for help, she had no recollections about this because she had her first blackout.

She just packed away her feelings and did what everyone asked of her, she went to school got good grades and her mother was so proud, and in the end that was all that mattered for Jaess, her mother’s happiness. She ignored the other children’s mockery, but soon they got tired of it, and when she changed to high school everyone was nice to her, they didn’t know of her past of course. Everyone though she was over her mental issues. She kept the facade, only to keep her mother happy.

Then her mother got ill, at first it was small things she would forget her normal routine, she would get dizzy and have headaches for days, Jaess demanded the day she fainted that she should see a doctor, and she did. The news were devastating she had progressed brain cancer, and there was nothing they could do about it at that stage, only keep it at bay, so her mother underwent a lot of long and painful treatment, just so she could stay a little longer with her little Jaess. They operated on her, gave her chemotherapy but nothing helped in the end. Only god thing to come of it was that Jaess had such good grades that head master of her school gave her time of to tend to her dying mother. She home schooled herself. She taught herself not to sleep much, and she always knew everything there was to know about her mother's condition. Every time her mother was admitted to the hospital, Jaess stayed with Natalie’s parents. She did it so no one would worry about her, but she hated it. It reminded her too much of Natalie and gave her inner Natalie more strength and a louder voice. Her mother put up a good fight,and even thought the doctors gave her only months to live she stayed with her Jaess for 4 years. At the end she was admitted to a hospice and at that point Jaess never left her side. She would be thrown out at night but she would just sneak up under the window and stay putted there and keep an eye on her mother’s vitals. When the orderlies spotted her, they pushed in a bed and never said anything about her having to leave Helena again. She never did, or only to shower, but she stayed there to the end. Holding her mother’s hand as her last breath left her chest. Leaving Jaess in despair

Her mother’s death was the last straw for Jaess, she had died 10 days before Christmas and she had barely time to make the arrangements for the funeral. But she did make it. And Natalie’s parents insisted on her being with them on Christmas eve, she did it, just because everyone expected her to. But she had given up, she was done fighting, and her head master came up with the brilliant idea that she should become an exchange student in Britain. He made all the calls and on New Year ’s Eve she boarded a plane with a one way ticket in her hand. She was not coming back ever again. Denmark had nothing to offer her but painful memories.

The trip had been without any incidents, and soon she was unlocking the door to her new life.

The attitude::

Ah, attitude, who said I had one? I can't fool you can I? wasn’t planning on. I’d call myself a doer, I do whatever Jaess is scared of, I am her extreme emotions. I’m the one you really faces every time it gets extreme, yes that good extreme too. It’s all me, the pinning to the wall, well you can thank me for that too. I take credit for it all. Jaess would never, and I do mean never take control like that, she is too big a romantic. Oh I know she likes to stay on top of things, but I’m the real reason she doesn’t. Whenever she isn’t on top, I get pulled out, I will kick your ass, I will make sure you never forget our faces. Now Jaess doesn’t like me at all, hiding me all the time, like I was a dirty secret. Let me tell you one thing, if it hadn’t been for me, Jaess would be curled up in that lousy apartment back in Denmark and let herself die, now I can’t have that. So I gave her head master a wink, you might call it a lap dance, I’d call it making progress, like I said I’m a doer. That is what I do.

The siblings:: None, if I found someone else in here I would kill her, oh well of course there is Jaess.
The others:: None.
The social class:: I got no class, yet, but just wait I will.

The history::

I was born and raised, too much of a spin off an interview with a vampire? Alright you want the real deal?

All the gore and bloody secrets? You got it, but don’t come complaining if you can’t sleep after wards.

I was born with a scream, Jaess’ scream. She has a pair of lungs that one, I can tell you that. She gets really high pitched when she really tries. Well at first I didn’t understand anything, everything was blurry and filled with pain, and a lot of it too. Then the dreams started, it was my first real attempt to communicate with Jaess, why bother you say? I cared, it was my bloody body too, she wrecked being all emotional and stuff. At first I really did try to get her better, I did everything an alter ego is supposed to do. I came to her in her dreams, tried to make it all better, but would she listen to me? I was her God and her demons too, I fought Hell and Heaven, I did everything I could to make her happy again. But slowly I gave up, I mean how much emotional crap does a person like me have to take? So I started to make her dreams more vivid, I made sure she could never wake up, I became all the monster she could come up with, and a few I threw in for free. I could do anything in her dreams, monsters came in all shapes, sizes and colors became my strongest weapon against herself. Oh trust me, that Care Bear thingy? That one is on me, you’re welcome. But I was her knight in shiny armor, I know its pathetic, but I’m not the boss here, not yet anyway.

Well as you can guess the dream part didn’t turn out to be the success I had planned, so I started to talk to her when she was awake. Bloody little brat ran straight to her mother and ratted me out. The gimp. I mean come on. We all know voices in our heads are a bad thingy. Jaess knew it too, but she had this dumb blind faith in her mother. As if she could chase me away. So we got admitted, that was really not my idea of fun at all. Let me tell all of you alter ego’s out there, don’t, just don’t go there. The electro chock therapy almost killed me, I mean it was this close, this close!

The medical treatment was a pain, now that won’t kill me, but it kept me down, tied my hands and legs so to speak, so I gave the poor girl a break, just long enough to get us out of the mental ward. But one day I will find a way to bypass it, just give me enough time and I’ll take over, and if I kill Jaess doing it well then goody. Anyhow I let her take control, and don’t think for a second that it was easy, because it wasn’t, if you think than well then, you’re just a dumb as you look. Now, now don’t get all worked up like that, we’re just talking right, words can’t hurt you right? Anyway the drugs got us both feeling really numb, Jaess made some bad moves and I almost ended up like freaking Mary Poppins. I said almost. I saw that smirk on your face, don’t make me get up, you hear me?

Where were we? Oh yeah, Jaess being all suicidal, let me she had some dark thoughts and I had nothing to do with it, I wasn’t the one with a death wish. Anyway I had my work cut out for me, I had to claw my way out of her to save her. Now I’m betting she hasn’t told you anything about those times, just a little mention, maybe she just “forgot” too tell you, well I haven’t and I will. The first time was a bloody dumb luck that we made it out alive, she had seduced me, knocked me of my feet so to say, and let me tell you a little secret about that little b*tch, she has one thing, and that is patient, and wits. Okay so that is two things, don’t start lecturing me, I’ll stop right now. And I know you’re dying to hear more. That’s what I thought. We all the same, perverted and nosy. Any how her first attempt was with a car, or that’s her version and she is sticking to it. I bet you really want the greasy details don’t you? Oh well, who am I to hold them back. So this little girl had me drugged like an elephant. She had me all nice and cozy in lollipop-land. Went down to the highway, we lived very close by, and she placed herself on the middle of the hill just the place before you hit the breaks to slow down, she had this planned and I never saw it coming. So she waited, and waited until her “car” came, we can call it a car, but it would be a lie, since it was a dumpster truck. And the guy behind the wheels well wouldn’t surprise me if he was drunk. So she got out in the middle of the street and just stood there, the sucker never even hit the brakes. How did we get out of that one alive? Well I woke up, and fell, scroll up if you can’t remember why, that’s right I was drugged, I got control of the body in the last second, and I didn’t even know what was going on I just hit the pavement like a ton of bricks. She got a concussion for that one, served her right. Why didn’t I do some kind of stunt to save her? Lets scroll up again.

“She had me drugged up like an elephant in lollipop-land.”

Ah I saw that, gheesh I feel like I’m talking to a brick wall, no scratch that I feel like I’m talking to the dumbest ten percent of the door, you know what part, the one that goes like a bloody goldfish, open and shut, open and shut. That’s the part I’m talking about. Don’t get pissed you’re the one that made the face. Anyway where was I? Ah yes the second try, now that was partly my mistake, I didn’t think much of it when I scared her half to death with the ninja nightmare, and then she went all hara-kiri, oh well she didn’t do it right, she gutted her thighs, not her stomach, not sure why she went for the jugular in the leg, but she did. She used a steak knife. I mean for crying out loud, do you have ANY idea how much that hurt? Just because she got all spastic and hit her leg, what do I know, one thing I can tell you, was she bleed. There was blood over the entire place, I mean where does she keep it all? And that is the real reason she will never get naked with a man, she is to shammed, she hasn’t even got the guts to stand up to what she did. But I do take a little credit for that, every night I make sure I tell her how messed u she really is. It seems to work.

So anyhow, what did you say? Lollipop-land, ah I almost forgot it, my bad. Cliff note version, the T.V. series Charmed, watch the episode where we get a real nice look at what goes on inside Pipers head, that’s right, you heard me all fluffy nice and pink, not to forget the cartoon butterflies there are all there. See what I have to put up with every day? Well being stuck in that world gave me one brilliant idea. The powder blue Care Bear. I won’t go into details right now, I’ll leave that one for another time.

So what am I ? I’m the center of the universe. It all turns around me.


The rest!![/size]

The RP sample::

The flight had been awful, filled with air pockets, and the dreaded passport control, she got all nervous and of course the controller had pulled her out of the line, and emptied her duffle bags. There in plain view were all her belongings. Not much to be honest. But it was hers. Jaess had packed the most important things she would need and a few of her mother’s belongings. He let her pass, she had been embarrassed as she felt she had caused a scene. Jaess got outside and there was a snow storm, totally whiteout. All busses were cancelled, so she sat down for the night, New Years Eve in an airport, just her luck.

4AM was her ticket out of this hell hole. The bus was full of people but she fund a nice spot at the window and turned her IPod up a little, the landscape was amazing, Jaess always felt as if she had walked into a magical land whenever there was a lot of snow. She just couldn’t help but smile, two hours later she was still smiling although her butt was numb. She was running and now no one knew her, Jaess’ head master had arranged for a family to take her in, Jaess didn’t even know their name, so since she was late this would be the perfect start on her new life. She’d be lost in a small village in the blizzard with no idea where to go. This would just be the end of her, she got off, just outside a pub, it looked closed but it wasn’t as if she had any choice she had to get inside or …

No she wouldn’t go down that road just yet, she would give this a chance, she had made that promise at her mother’s grave. Jaess tended to keep it, at least for a week or two, but if she didn’t find shelter soon she would probably meet her sooner than Jaess had planned. Not that she believed in an afterlife, but one could never be entirely sure. She shrugged as she knocked on the pubs door, hoping for anyone to still be up, she was in luck. But by the look and the man’s face she had not made a good first impression, he looked outside to both sides before moving so she could step inside. She was so cold at that time that her teeth were made their own version of a tango.

The man said nothing he just went up to the bar and grabbed a jug and pour beer into it, now where would her manners be if she declined?

Beside it was alcohol, and she would be worried the day she would turn down anything with the slightest sent of alcohol in it. She smiled and sat down, she was so cold, she felt like she would never get warm again. The pub owner looked at her and hissed Jessy? She was baffled, she raised her eye browns and she nodded how did he know about her? Was this village smaller than she had imagined, had just entered another nightmare, one were everyone else knew her but she did not know them. The owner nodded and walked away. He grabbed a broom, she had clearly interrupted his cleaning, she sat there for three minutes and got up.

“I’m so sorry to bother you, but may I help you as a token. I really don’t mind, I have washed my share of floors before.”

She was over tired, but she had never just watched others do a job and not interfered. He looked puzzled at her as he made a gesture towards a bucket full of hot water. She smiled and started working, finding a pace that suited them both. She took her time. She was suddenly back in the cinema were she had worked, she loved it after closing hours. When the aisles where empty and she could sit and eat some popcorn for herself. She never did notice that she had begun to sing.

“Sorrow hides under the water
sorrow is my only friend
sorrow stands beside the doorway
and sorrow needs a helping hand

Girl in a glass box dressed in white
happy enough to commit suicide
she said that silver's meant to burn forever”


She had noticed the owner looked at her, before returning to his sweeping. She smiled shyly, but she didn’t stop, she was in a good mood. This really could turn out to be her best choice ever. The man sent her a worn smile and she smiled back, this could really be something good, in only the entire town didn’t know her name. She continued a little louder since the pub owner didn’t mind.

“Sleeping forever in a bubble of blue
would you like to see her point of view?
she said that silver's meant to burn forever
- forever

Say my name silverflame take control
of my heart of my mind and of my soul
what a shame silverflame that you can't burn forever”

He grinned as she gave her best would-be-super-star-show, she was really tired, she had no idea what time it was and she really couldn’t remember the last time she have had a entire night’s sleep. But she was almost done with the floor, she was like the energizer bunny on speed, she chuckled at the comparison. Oh well if she had to make an impression why not make it lasting?

“And in the garden is a cheap hotel
only invited if your thing went well
she said that silver's meant to burn forever

Sleeping forever in a bubble of blue
would you like to see her point of view?
she said that silver's meant to burn forever
- forever

Say my name silverflame take control
of my heart of my mind and of my soul
what a shame silverflame that you can't burn forever”

She had ended up on her knees, giggling as the pub owner gave her a standing ovation. She blushed and said.

“If you ever tell anyone I swear I’ll come after you.”

He grinned, she knew she liked this old man. He might have come of grumpy but he wasn’t anymore, he got himself some beer and sat down beside her. He didn’t say anything for a while and Jaess didn’t feel like pushing her luck so she just enjoyed her beer. It wasn’t cold anymore, and a bit stale, but it was beer and it was New Year’s Eve, or well it was actually the 1st of January by now, usually by this time in Denmark she would be dating Ulrich, she shook her head. She really couldn’t hold her liquor if she wanted to get hammered fast. She usually did, lately she had not had one single sober day. she looked at the empty jug, but she was to shy to ask for more. And the owner did not get up to give her a refill.

She couldn’t help herself, she had to ask, how he had known her name. His answer was quite surprising, she was to live with his son, and his family. Not very far from the pub, but it was too late to go there now so she could have room upstairs. She nodded the idea of sleeping wasn’t tempting but it had been more than 40 hours since her last attempt at getting any sleep, she really should just get it over with and take the darned pills and get some much needed sleep, but the nightmares always followed her dreams. She shivered as a mental picture of a fluffy Care Bear with paws made of candy sticks had chased her down an strange unknown street, called Fluffy street, while she could hear children in the back singing.

“1, 2, Flyffy’s coming for you”

She turned pale, now she knew that it was a silly dream but she really hated it, somehow she could never turn around and eat the candy sticks, nor could she get away from it. She shrugged. This would become a long day, the sun was not up but in a few hours it would be, and she would be up too, if she managed to get more than five hours of sleep she would count herself lucky. The old man got up, and so did she, the last thing she wanted was to keep him up. So she followed him after grabbing her duffle bags. This would be her life, and if she didn’t own more than her name so be it. She would make it, she had promised her mother that much.

The next day had come before dawn, she had gotten three hours of sleep and it was now 8AM she rolled of the bed and landed on her knees and hands, she had to take a look, she held her breath as she looked under the bed, no fluffy powder blue care bear, she was safe for now. She couldn’t help herself and started laughing, if anyone knew of her fears they would lock her up again and throw away the key. She sneaked down the hall found the bathroom and took a much needed shower. She had put on a red top, which had the words treat me like an angel and I’ll be your devil written all over it. She liked it, plus it really did show of her chest, not that she wanted to impress anyone, but a girl had to keep up an appearance. She had her idea of what she could and would wear, this was her style and she would not change it for anyone. Maybe McDreamy but, not anyone else. She shook her head, where had she even picked up the fraise McDreamy, she grinned, oh yea that was right last time she had been down the local club in Århus, it felt like it had been ages ago, but it was less than six months ago, but then again that was like a lifetime for her. She would call up her friends, but she would just give them a few hours to get up, although she knew more than one probably already had their date with Ulrich now.

She went downstairs and sat in the pub, thank god this wasn’t the states, here she could actually buy liquor and she would, just as soon as the old man got up.
