You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again"

FACE CLAIM: Adam Scott



OVERALL APPEARANCE: Jed can be found, more often than not, sporting a face that is somewhere between a five o'clock shadow and "I was thinking about growing a goatee but I'm not sure if I'm committed." He typically looks tired, but wired, in a way that suggests he does not sleep very much. He has notably piercing brown eyes. They are wild and dark and sometimes, a little terrifying. Jed is always dressed in a nice suit when he is at work, which is more than he is at home. Not very many people have seen it, but he usually dons a t shirt and sweat pants or jeans across his lanky frame when he is at home.

OVERALL PERSONALITY: Jed is the guy that commands your respect and attention the moment he enters a room, but he's also the guy that wants to be left alone unless you have a reason to talk to him. He is no nonsense and does not take shit from anyone. It's not that he thinks he's better than everyone else, just that people are not really worth wasting his time on. Sarcasm and cynicism are his defense mechanisms, but occasionally someone will push past these and discover that he has a pretty decent sense of humor. Though, he tries to hide it behind the high standards of his profession and the demands of the job, Jed has a mildly severe case of obsessive compulsive disorder. He's hard on his team, but they all know he would die for them.

HISTORY:

Josiah, or Jed, as those closest to him call him, was born to happy and loving parents, Reese and Josiah (Joe). His childhood was normal and relatively happy. The family next door had a little boy, Kenzie, that was the same age as Jed. Upon their very first interaction, the two became inseparable. Those were probably the best and happiest years of Jed's life. Because, when other boys were discovering girls, Jed discovered... Kenzie. At first, he tried to ignore it. Every day made him long for his friend more and more, however. One night, he was over at Kenzie's house studying and, he could not hold it in anymore. He admitted his feelings for Kenzie, and to his utter surprise and delight, Kenzie kissed him in return. It was not a curious, experimental kiss, either. It was a kiss that made it very clear to Jed that while he had been falling in love with his friend, his friend had been doing the same. Everything was wonderful and magical for just a few hours.



Until Kenzie's older brother, Devon, busted in. He grabbed Jed and threw him down so hard that he saw stars. Devon called them all sorts of names and then told Jed that if he wanted to see what a real man was like, he would be glad to show him. Throwing Kenzie in the closet, he came back and brutally had his way with Jed.



Jed and Kenzie were never the same after that. They still talked and hung out at school, but Jed never went to his house again. The worst part was that he could barely look his friend in the eye and he flinched every time they came into contact with one another. Jed was broken, inside. He turned to alcohol to drown his pain. When his father discovered his drinking, they fought and fought until they practically hated one another. Everything in Jed's life was spinning out of control and the only way he could handle it was with another drink. That is, until he woke up in the hospital after having been dead for almost a minute. The pain on his parents' faces convinced him not to fight his father when he dropped him off at rehab.



After rehab, he buried himself in his studies, trying to recover from all the time he had lost to drinking. He wrote a very compelling essay that got him into a good college. His OCD tendencies started to take over and dictate his life, but he swore to himself that he would never lose control again. No one would ever take his power ever again. Focusing on his studies, he met Ava purely on accident. It took him a long time to warm up to her, but once he did, he never wanted to let her go. He proposed to her the night they graduated with their bachelors' degrees. It was a simple, yet beautiful wedding. His father did not attend the wedding, but his mother did. The newlyweds started their life together as Jed went back to school for his masters degree. It was during his post graduate studies that he was recruited to work at the Federal Sector of Investigating Special Occurrences and relocate to Los Eurosia. Ava encouraged him to take the job, thinking it would be exciting. It was.



There were several years between their wedding and Jed beginning work for the Sector where the two of them were very happy. Then, the ocd tendencies started to hike up around the same time that work demanded more and more of his time. Soon, he was working all the time and being too controlling of every minor detail on the rare occasions he was home. Ava was a saint. She put up with it for as long as she could, begging Jed to come back to her. They were in couples counseling for two years before she simply could not do it anymore. Jed did not fight her. She brought him papers, he signed them. He knew that he was to blame and he just wanted her to be happy.



With Ava gone, Jed relapsed. Everything had become too much for him and too much change was forced on him all at once. Fortunately, he had an attentive handler that immediately saw that there was a problem. Jed needed a little convincing to get help, but in the end he was able to get sober again. The handler began to work more closely with Jed after this, which Jed assumed he was being kept an eye on, but it turned out that the handler was grooming him as a replacement so that he could move up in the Sector. Jed went from being an Operations Specialist to managing a team of Operations Specialists and managing the local tactics and logistics department.
