Gender: Male
Age: 21
Nationality: Republic
Zoid: Hammer Rock
AIM: Kiyomizu Kitsune

Personality
Jeremy is a rather laid back guy, rarely doing anything extreme or off the charts unless it’s called for. He usually does what he’s told without any said complaints, preferring to make things much easier by staying quiet rather then arguing over something pointless. Sometimes Jeremy’s attitude is somewhat of an annoyance to others, mostly because he won’t take things seriously when he’s supposed to. Or at least express some form of seriousness that’ll gratify others.

Being an only child, Jeremy’s never had a younger sibling to look after before, so when Kizuna entered his life and became something of a younger sister to him he clung to the thought that she needed him to watch over her. Developing somewhat of an older brother complex, which only grew when Amy moved to Mondego and moved in with them. Although after a series of complaints from both of his ‘sisters’, Jeremy has lowered his overprotective barrier to some extent since then. When battling he loses the calm demeanor and instead expresses a more wild and ecstatic version of himself. Zoid battling is like a Joygasm for Jeremy, as he lets everyone in the battlefield know exactly how excited, infuriated, or even humored (etc) he is with every attack and movement he makes on the field.

Background
Jeremy was born into a middle classed family living in Mondego. He spent a good seven years of his life there, living a relatively normal life. His father worked at the local clinic as a nurse whilst his mother worked part time at the local super market so he was rather well off compared to most of the families in town. This lead to his lax nature because he never really had to worry about any serious problems. When Jeremy turned eight, his parents felt that he could receive a better education out in the city. So they sent him to the suburbs of Valesck to live with his Aunt and Uncle who were more then happy to take him in for the school year.

The change of scenery was a little bit of a shock for Jeremy, his first reaction was a shy one towards his Aunt and Uncle. Even more so towards the other children in his class. Eventually he adjusted and treated his two relatives as a second set of parents. Realizing that pushing all the others kids away was not going to make his stay a comfortable one, he became his laid back self towards the other children and had a reasonably good social life. So for the next twelve years, Jeremy moved between two homes. His School year was spent with his Aunt and Uncle whilst his summers and holidays were with his birth parents.

Jeremy’s school life wasn’t extraordinary, in fact it could be called tedious. He went by school with the usual B average, occasionally getting an A or C in certain subjects. He was on the Guy’s tennis team, hung out with a collection of friends he’s made, and had a few girlfriends. With his parent’s urging Jeremy enrolled into college to pursue a career in nursing. It was only when he had entered his second year of college did he realize that he lacked guidance in his life and this wasn’t what he wanted at all. After a talk with both pairs of parents, Jeremy and his parental figures agreed that a break from college to find out what he really wanted to do in life was a good idea.

Several months after he dropped out of school, Jeremy landed a job as the personal gardener of the Hakumei’s. The job itself was simple enough, water and tend to the backyard’s plants, and trim the plants so that they don’t grow out of proportions. Anything more complex or poetic then that was handled by the other gardners. He also helped out at the storefront with Kizuna. The two easily became fast friends, even to the point where their friendship was considered a sibling relationship.

As close as the two were, Jeremy was never directly involved with Kizuna’s Zoid hobby. Once in a while he’d watch one of her matches and cheer her on, but other then that he left the subject alone, having never had any real interest in the sport. After an incident involving a Salamander and flame bath, Mr. Hakumei asked him to join the Zoid battling world with the sole purpose in mind that he’d be able to watch over Kizuna. With Mr. Hakumei helping him pay for his first zoid, Jeremy and Kizuna started up a team together and with a bit of begging managed to get Dr. Isayama as their Manager. Their little team was later joined by Jeremy’s cousin, Amy Briggs and her Gator, playing the role as team strategist.

As fun as the sport was, Jeremy treats the sport as a hobby, rarely ever going into battle without Kizuna or Amy by his side. He’s still searching for a career to pursue, but for now is playing the part of gardener for the Hakumei’s to help pay for his apartment bill with Amy who’s living with him by the request of his parents.

Appearance
Jeremy stands at 5'9, sporting brown hair and blue eyes. His body build wasn’t at all buff, but he had slight muscle tone on his arms due to his time on the Tennis team. Jeremy was never one for anything fancy, often going for clothing that was comfortable and not at all flashy. His usual trend was a pair of worn out jeans and an earth tone colored shirt. On the battlefield, he would normally wear something casual. It’s often a pair of jeans and a plain white T-shirt. As for accessories he’s never without his silver chain necklace, a gift from an unnamed friend who passed away a few years ago.

I see you've gone for the slightly saner approach. Spiffy.
