( AND THIS SMILE )
the appearance

[/color] hair color:[/b]
Depending on which Jesse is currently in control, his hair style (and even the color of it) varies. For the most part all the Jesses agree that the short, respectable, dark brown hair which Jesse favors is the way to go, although Othello likes to go with more flamboyant colors. Still, brown is his natural hair color, although the wonders of glamour can change that, if he so chooses.
x. eye color::
Like all faeries, Jesse's eyes are the one thing he cannot glamour, and as such they appear to be a bit on the odd side. His eyes are a very, very bright purply-blue color, rather like a blue dawn flower or an iris. He often attempts to hide his eyes with colored contacts, although they generally don't work very well. Human inventions so rarely ever do.
x. height:
The tiniest bit on the short side, although Jesse is hardly a shrimp. He's just a little below the average, that's all.
x. weight:
Perfectly healthy, although he is the tiniest bit scrawny. Don't let that fool you into thinking he's a pushover though.
x. tattoos:
Due to an agreement with his other selves, Jesse has no piercings whatsoever. Doesn't mean you won't occasionally see one on him, but don't be fooled into thinking its real. Its always only glamour. Marcus is the only personality which dons a tattoo when he's in control, and its always the exact same thing: a rather elaborate depiction of a chain being bitten in half by a dragon on his arm. Not scary right? Well, maybe you'd change your mind if you knew that Marcus fiddled with the glamour so the dragon's eyes follow you wherever you go and its mouth seems to be sneering. And the chain just happens to be seemingly attached to the dragon itself.
x. piercings:
None, seeing as iron is poisonous to him. Not that all earings or other piercings are made out of iron or anything, Jesse's just paranoid as all get out.
x. other:
The most prominent feature about Jesse other than the standard little things would be his wings. As with all faeries, Jesse generally keeps his wings "withdrawn" so to speak, meaning you can neither touch them nor feel them. When they are out, however, it is quite easy to see they're a bit.. different. When choosing his wings, Jesse chose the wings of the blue morpho butterfly. One one side, they're a vivid iridescent blue rimmed with black. The other side is a drab green-brown and is covered with multiple eyespots. Wings closed, all you can see are the eyespots staring at you on their brown backdrop. Needless to say, Jesse's wings aren't the usual kind for his people.

( THESE ARE MY DREAMS )
the personality

[/color] likes:[/b] Using Glamour, being left alone, staying in control, flying, using his power, going on hikes in the forest, gardening, peaches, the ocean, his pet fish.
x. dislikes: being reminded of his past, losing control, waking up covered in blood, forming serious attachments, love, using Glamour, Marcus, Hex, Othello, Sonja, having to report to the Queen, copious amounts of sunlight, iron.
x. strengths:
Fighting
For all that Jesse looks like a skinny, pasty little nerd which could easily be wiped across the floor, he's actually one tough little fighter. Years of training to be a Guardian has made him rather proficient in the area of self defense, although if he depended on physical strength alone he would probably be beaten into the sand. He's best at dodging and using speed and his relatively small stature to his advantage. He's big on using stamina, wearing his opponents out before going in for the kill. Fighting smart rather than just charging in and swinging his fists and hoping he clocks someone a good one. So far this style has done well for him. After all, he is neither dead nor in a full body cast.
Horticulture
While this is certainly an odd strength for a person to have, Jesse is rather knowledgeable when it comes to plants and gardening. He has quite the green thumb and is very meticulous when it comes to caring for his plants. While he isn't so much of a plant nerd that he could rattle off the scientific names of all the plants in his garden and any that happened to enter his line of sight, he is very good at recognizing plants and giving their regular old name. Occasionally he knows more than just the name, he knows exactly what it needs to be able to flourish and just what sort of soil it would grow best in. This is probably due to the ample time on Jesse's hands. After all, its not like he has much better to do than read gardening magazines or anything.
His "Gift"
At his coming of age ceremony, Jesse was put into the Guardian caste (a great improvement, given that his parents were Shapers) and was given the power to move things with his mind. While that may not seem like a very useful power, it is in fact very useful and very deadly. Jesse became renowned for his prowess as a guardian while he served the Lady Sonja, given that he could take out potential threats without even having to move from where he stood. Using his power, Jesse can stop nearly any physical attack in its tracks and turn it against whoever was using it. In addition, centuries of practice has helped him hone this talent to perfection and he can even use it to make people (or at least their bodies) do what he wants. He cannot invade peoples brains and make them do what they want, he can just act as a puppeteer in a sense. Still, years of being away from the Seelie Court and being without a Noble to guard has helped this talent become a bit rusty, but he definitely hasn't lost it.
x. weaknesses:
Multiple Personalities
Naturally his multiple personalities are quite a large set-back, as this means that Jesse can never be truly confident that his other personalities will shut up and stay still in whatever situation he may be in. One personality may be rather preturbed about being locked up for too long, and may get back at Jesse by taking control and making a scene in public or taking control in the middle of a fight and let his opponent beat the tar out of him.
Selfish
Incredibly selfish, Jesse would as soon as run from a fight as participate in it. While he claims to be staying away from others for their own good, it is really because he is only truly concerned with his own health and happiness. He never steps in to help anyone, unless of course the tormentor turns on him, and he will often shake off anyone who requests his help. He cannot be depended upon, even if he claims to be your friend, because he might just turn around and betray a supposed "friend" if the situation gets too dangerous for his liking. If it suits him, he'll back someone. But if it is safer for him to stay away, then that is what he will do.
Nerves
Easily shaken, Jesse is extremely twitchy and paranoid thanks to Othello, Hex and Marcus. He is easily startled which makes it rather easy to scare him off, and he is quick to jump to conclusions. Imagine that guy in the horror movie who is the one scared out of his wits as they walk through the tunnel and starts firing his gun because he thought he saw something. But by doing so he tipped the monster off to their position and therefore screwed over himself and everyone else. That guy would be Jesse.
x. habits/quirks:
Appears to be unable to sit still and is usually either fidgeting or fiddling with something in his hands. You'd be pretty twitchy too if any second you could change into a completely different person and wreck havoc.
Always writes down where has been and who he has talked to on a small black notepad he keeps in his pocket. In addition, he makes sure to note the time. This way it is easier to keep track of when his other personalities have snagged control.
Carries a small blue rock in his pocket and takes it out to hold it and rub it with his thumb when he gets really nervous. Supposedly its his "lucky rock".
Is extremely OCD about the placement of his gardening tools in his shed and has a minor heart attack if anyone attempts to so much as touch them.
x. fears:
[ Women ] , for one thing. Seeing as his other personalities aren't exactly kind to anyone Jesse happens to be romantically involved with, Jesse doesn't exactly like being around girls. There is always the risk that his other personalities may take a smile or a few words for something other than what they are.
[ Insanity ] which is oddly ironic, given that he is technically already off the rockers insane. Sane people don't harbor a few other people in their heads, after all. And sane people certainly don't worry about the other people in their head taking over his body and murdering a town while he's unconscious. What he really fears is going MORE insane, as if thats even possible.
x. goals:
[ Get rid of the other personalities ] is the first thing on his to do list. And a pretty good one to have be on his list too. Being the only one in his head would probably be pretty calming, or at least much less dangerous.
[ Sculpt ] as himself (not Hex) during his free time, or maybe even become a professional sculptor or potter. While he doesn't admit it, the talent that Hex has is technically his own, and he does enjoy pursuing his little hobby.
x. personality:
Jesse
This is Jesse's one and only true personality. Or is it? While he doesn't quite accept it, all of his personalities make him who he is, and his old girlfriend even told him that they were his true self. Although given how much of a psychotic bitch that chick was, her opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. In any case, while Jesse is in control of himself he is generally a rather twitchy, and always keep watch on his surroundings. He is extremely sarcastic and occasionally is occasionally rather callous. His issues with his multiple "other selves" have caused him to become rather disinterested and disillusioned with the world at large. To say that he is a pessimist would be putting it mildly. He expects the absolute worst from nearly everyone he meets and always finds a way to put a negative spin on things. Whenever he sees people in love, he makes a point to point out the flaws in their relationship, or expose a secret one has been keeping from the other if he knows it. He does not believe in love or any other such lofty principle. Not after Sonja's betrayal, anyway.
Marcus
To call Marcus an unkind person would be putting it mildly. An obvious sadist, Marcus takes obvious pleasure in destroying the lives of others. His tactics include, but aren't limited to, screwing peoples girlfriends, beating the shit out of people, or turning them against each other and then sitting back to watch the show. Like Hex and Othello, Marcus is out to get what's good for him and like them, he doesn't care who or what he destroys in the process of getting what he wants. Unlike Hex, who is always careful with Jesse's body and unlike Othello who (even though he goes crazy) at least tries to keep their body in good condition, Marcus is extremely reckless and self-destructive. He drinks and smokes without abandon and without a care as to what might happen to the body he shares with Jesse. But despite his apparent lack of respect for Jesse's wishes, he seems to be very nearly obsessed with him. He is extremely protective of Jesse and always takes the reins whenever Jesse is in danger, and makes a point to go after those who dare to hurt him. But his obsession doesn't just extend to protecting Jesse from physical harm (at least the sort inflicted by others) but he also simply cannot abide it when Jesse starts to become romantically involved with anyone. This makes Marcus extremely jealous, and the sadistic maniac becomes a homicidal maniac and usually hunts down Jesse's girls and kills them in some gruesome way, then gives control back to Jesse. In his eyes he's doing Jesse a favor because he is "protecting" him, and always claims that he is simply doing the preemptive strike against "another Sonja". For some reason, the one group Marcus is actually nice to are children. He will not hurt them or cause them to be hurt, and he will never kill in front of them. Appearance wise Marcus looks like Jesse, except for the previously described dragon tattoo on his arm. Also, Marcus always takes the colored contacts Jesse might have in out, letting the whole world see their true eyes. On occasion he glamours his eyes to be either yellow or red, but apart from that he doesn't mess with his appearance.
Hex
Contrary to his name, Hex is by far the nicest of Jesse's multiple personas. Or at least he seems that way. Hex is Jesse's artistic side, which is odd given how openly flamboyant Othello is. However, Othello is simply Jesse's desires and wild side completely off the chain. Therefore, Othello is free to indulge in such things as flamboyant clothes and outrageous hair colors. Hex, on the other hand, is extremely laid back and mellow. Always kind to those who encounter him, Hex is the only one of Jesse's personalities who tries his best to keep Jesse's good name intact. He is always polite, helps the old ladies across the street, pays his debts, that sort of thing. In a way, Hex is everything Jesse wishes he was himself. Laid back and kind, Hex is well liked in the circles he moves in with little to no effort. Insults and rumors slide off his skin like water off a duck, and nothing seems to be able to phase him or diminish his confidence in himself. Hex has rather remarkable artistic talent, and is particularly good at sculpting. (This is odd, given that Jesse himself is a Guardian, not a Shaper.) Evidence of Hex's work is scattered across Jesse's home and is even displayed prominently in some areas. But rather than claim the works as his other side as his own, Jesse chooses to claim that the pieces were all created by his "cousin", and always sings the praises of his favorite personality whenever he can. But while Hex is kind and laid-back, he has a dark side like the rest of Jesse's personalities. Hex is selfish, though not so openly selfish as Othello, and his selfishness is displayed in a much colder, crueler way. While he does his best to make people think well of him and Jesse, he does this simply because he enjoys the attention they both receive. If he cannot see any way that he can benefit from the situation then he will not bother to help. In truth Hex is devoid of emotions, almost to the point of being a sociopath. If any personality could be dubbed a future serial killer, Hex would be the one that won the crown. There is no way to physically distinguish Hex from Jesse. The only way to tell the two apart is that when Hex is currently in control, he becomes much quieter and his eyes seem to lack any emotion beyond a thin, superficial layer of whatever emotion he thinks people expect, or want, to see.
Othello
Thanks to his own irrational fears of being gay and/or being someone who would be shunned for being "different", Jesse brought Othello into creation. Like all of his other personalities, Othello started out as a voice in his head, whispering answers to questions that conflicted his own. Eventually Othello gained enough influence and power in Jesse's smashed up brain to become a separate personality entirely. Othello portrays Jesse's own uncertainty about his sexuality in addition to being more flamboyant and outgoing than Jesse would ever dare to be. Othello is openly bisexual and is much more outgoing than Jesse could ever hope to be. However, Othello is also a representation of Jesse's selfish side. He goes for whatever he wants when he wants it, regardless of consequences, and cares little for the thoughts and or feelings of others. When Othello is in control Jesse becomes much more touchy-feely and much more open to random hook-ups, regardless of gender, and he rejects any and all requests for a long term relationship. If Jesse happens to be in a relationship this does not stop Othello from chasing skirts, or pants for that matter. Incredibly selfish, rude, and self-absorbed, is the voice of demons which many people pretend they don't have. At the same time, Othello appears to have morals, and underneath the surface he seems to be much kinder than any of Jesse's other personalities, rather in the way that Marcus occasionally seems to have a soul. Othello always glamours his hair to be some shockingly vibrant shade, favoring neon yellow or hot pink, and also removes the contacts from his eyes that Jesse usually keeps in.
