GODOLPHIN, JEREMY
Character's full name: Jeremy Andrew Godolphin Nicknames: Jerry, JAG, Dolphin (by his girlfriend) Age: Twenty-four Talents: Musician, singer and songwriter Orientation: Heterosexual Play by: Charles Michael Davis
Appearance: Jerry stand at six foot tall and you can clearly spot him in a room. If his stature isn’t enough to achieve that, his charming smile with enchant you and if even that is not enough, then he’ll just drop his shirt and prove to you that you really love chocolate. He probably takes more care into his look than he pretends to. He hates not looking good, but he doesn’t necessarily follow any trend. He just wants to look good. He keeps his black hair really short and often keeps some facial hair that he trims daily. He can be a little obsessed with his appearance but he doesn’t realise it. If he has the time to look good, he will take it. He'll take a lot of time if you allow him. If he doesn't have that time, he'll be quick about it and not care if he doesn't look exactly his best.
Personality: Hyper by nature, he has a short attention span and finds it hard to stay idle for too long. He always needs to move, whether it’s by playing a sport, dancing or even cleaning a room, as long as he can move. He can be hard to keep up and will realise it only if he finds out people are way behind him or they tell him. Then he tries to slow down a little bit. This can also make him talk a lot yet forget what he meant to say in the first place. He can then reveal more than he meant too as well. If something else catches his attention, he can forget what he previously meant to do.
He is very friendly and seems to act as though it is expected for people to like him. It isn’t arrogance per se, he just has this tendency of considering everyone as a friend and assumes they'd act the same way towards him. Unless he ends up not liking their personality. Then, he can be pretty rough. If you piss him off in some way, he’ll snap back at you and he can be cruel when that happens. More with words than a punch however, but he isn’t against that either. He clearly puts a lot of energy in training and could land a few tough punches at someone. He isn't afraid of manual work but will need to be explained first. Not good with just being told, it's easier for him if he can see it first. He's usually up to try new things when suggested. Jerry has a family side that is well developed and does wish to have a family someday. He can act like a little kid sometimes but he considers it is also part of his charm. When he doesn't act like a child, he can seem overly sensual without necessarily realising it. It's just how he is, he is naturally close to people and it sometimes sends the wrong message.
He has a lot of imagination and is drawn to people like that as well. He hates shopping, this is a torture for him and he can act like a real baby if he’s with someone while shopping. This gets worse when there are just too many choices or none that totally suits him at all. He doesn’t really like how people keeps complaining there aren’t enough ‘people of colour’ at galas or on screen. It’s true but he doesn’t want to one day end up with a nomination at the Grammys because they needed to fill in the 'black man' spot, he wants to be there because he deserves it. Sometimes, he does feel like they’re pushing it. He keeps that kind of thought to himself however but he isn’t proud of someone just because they’re a black person who made it big. He has quite the sweet tooth and can barely ever resist a dessert. He wishes he could speak several different languages and is considering taking lessons, he just doesn't know which one to learn first.
Likes: sweets, soccer, music, dancing, learning about people/cultures, playing outside, kids, activities Dislikes: shopping, racial comments (in the good or bad sense of the terms), being stuck inside, maths
History: Jerry was born the eldest of a family of three children. His mother, Jane, is a researcher for a pharmaceutical company and his father Marcus is a university teacher in history. He has a younger sister, Blair (20) and a younger brother, Robert (17). As a child, he showed signs of being hyperactive as well as some trouble of concentration (he is the only one in the family who does). His parents didn't want him to have a medication however and besides, it was not bad enough to need any. They signed him up to a junior soccer team so he could burn all this energy and gave him a drum set. Like this, he also burned a lot of energy but had to follow a rhythm, forcing him to focus. It helped, even if, to this day, he can find it hard to spend more than one hour idle or just reading silently in a corner.
Jerry always had a lot of energy and imagination. While it could be hard to keep up with him, he had this sort of natural charm that made people not scold him for tiring them up. He did make it hard on teachers at times however, finding it difficult every now and then to focus in class. It was mostly the long hours that killed him. He had never been good in maths or science, did okay in history but wasn’t so bad in English, especially when it came to writing essays. His good grades in that, about the only place other than gym he got good grades for, convinced him to try and write songs. At first, they were poems without music or played on an already existing tune or very similar to one.
He was a young teenager when he was introduced to rock and roll more officially. He thought, as a musician, that he would get the girls, but they seemed more interested by the guitar players than the drummers so he had his parents buy him a guitar and started learning how to play it as well. He was pretty good, trying different styles as he explored the world of music. He ended up writing some music too, to fit his lyrics that weren’t always great but he could still pull it off well. If not, he could play some pretty nice, well-known songs to compensate.
That, and the fact he was still very active, got him a reputation as the heartthrob of his school. He joined the Hollywood Arts school, hoping to be a big star someday in the rock and roll industry. After he graduated, he joined a band as their guitar player and back vocalist. The have recorded two albums and are writing songs for a third one while touring. Of course, he is hoping one day to have a solo career or his own band, playing his own music, as they have yet done much of what he had written so far, their main songwriter being the singer and leader of the band.
He met Sarah at a party one day, not too long after he graduated and his band started to get some fame. As they talked, they were surprised to realise they both went to Hollywood Arts yet never got to know each other better back then. After that evening, Jerry worked to meet her again. They had been dating since. They are currently looking for a house.
