General Personality:
Jeromy has always had a sweet side to him, even if it is sometimes hidden under his passive front. He usually remains quiet and disclosed to anyone who isn’t rather close to him. However, around his friends he tends to open up and really can become quite the talker.
Jeromy likes to express himself through writing and art. His three favorite things being writing, reading, and photography. Though he is mostly perceived as timid, Jeromy usually portrays strong and loud emotions in any of his work. His underlying sarcasm usually makes a strong appearance in most of his writing as well.
A jaw or two drop when people discover one of Jeromy’s passions – photography. But not only that – band photography. Despite his passiveness around the Academy, Jeromy tends to let loose when he go to shows or he doesn’t have to focus on school work. Taking pictures of bands really lets him explore his creative side, and people get to see the side to him that is a lot more outgoing. Kids at school wouldn’t expect him to be the kid grabbing the mic to scream a line or two during the middle of a song. But in fact, that’s exactly the type of kid he is. The Academy shows a completely different side to Jeromy – one the is complete opposite from his life outside of school.
People usually get the wrong impression from people they consider ‘bookworms’ or ‘nerdy’. Jeromy, rather, gets annoyed by the stigma that comes along with being studious. Friends who know him outside of school wouldn’t even realize that perhaps reading is one of his biggest past times. It’s one of the things that has caused him to believe that stereotypes are vastly over rated – perhaps why he isn’t really affiliated with a certain clique.

Appearance:
Even as a child, Jeromy has always had strong features. He has a face that is not easy to forget - provided his startlingly blue eyes, preternaturally high cheekbones, and full lips. Standing at only 5' 9" tall, Jeromy has always had a slim build; though that’s not to say feeble. If his icy blue eyes aren’t enough to lure attention his direction, his thick brunette locks and rich baritone voice can usually do the trick.
One of Jeromy’s most striking features is his startling icy blue eyes. The family isn’t quite sure just from which side he acquired the unusual color, but tracing back has led them to believe it’s a passive gene from his mother’s side. His eyes are usually the first thing that others will notice about him, and has even been the cause of a few awkward encounters with awed acquaintances.
Inside his lower lip, Jeromy has a simple black tattoo of the word ‘verità’, meaning truth in Italian. To him it has different meanings, but mostly it is a personal reminder that he must always stay true to himself. He used to wear both ears gauged to a size two, but to take them out and let them size back down when he enrolled to the academy. He’s considering getting a few more tattoos, but has decided he’d do any of that after graduating.

History:
Jeromy was the first born into a family of considerable wealth considering both of his parents are well educated and have secure occupations. As the first born, Jeromy has always had standards set high for him. Both parents have always pushed for him to be striving for top academic performance as well as having an active role in the community. However, Jeromy developed his own personality aside from his parents and hasn’t truly turned out to be their intended dream child.
Two years after Jeromy was born, their family acquired a new member – his sister. Competition never really broke out between the two solely for the fact that the two weren’t really similar. Even though he never really had that intense of a relationship with his sister, he has a strong sense of family, and would always be there for her.
Growing up, Jeromy had a strong aptitude for books and writing. It wasn’t uncommon to find him with his nose shoved into the latest best selling novel, even as a pre-teen. Eventually, Jeromy came to discover that he could easily pick up an entire new language in as little as a day just by reading about its fundamental principals. The family just thought that Jeromy was rather gifted, until his sister also showed signs of a less than normal trait.
When the offer was extended to Jeromy to enroll to Aura Academy, both parents jumped on the opportunity. Jeromy enrolled with the hopes of furthering his education in English and Fine Arts in hopes of one day becoming perhaps a novelist or a photo journalist. It just seemed fitting that his sister would enroll to Aura also, two years later.
As a senior, Jeromy spends most of his time reading and writing. He doesn’t have a large group of friends at the Academy that he likes to hang out with, but does have a network of friends outside of school. Whenever he gets the chance, Jeromy likes to take his camera and document the daily life of an Aura Academy student to serve as a reminder once he graduates.

| QUOTE |
She still tried to hang onto the things that once gave her joy before the epidemic really began to affect things. Hayley had always been into singing and even performed in recitals as a young child. All of that ceased, however, when her parents passed away and things such as surviving became a necessity over leisure activities. She still found herself singing softly as she went throughout her day, though other leisures happened less often. Hayley had also been really into drawing as a young girl and kept a sketchbook that she would doodle in almost constantly. Nature was usually the subject of her sketches – that, and people. But with the disease taking a toll on her body, she had less time to go outside and add to her remaining collection of artwork. True, she had night vision with which she could see animals well enough at night, but the aesthetic aspect of her pictures wasn’t entirely pleasing. In that way, drawing became an activity Hayley did only once in a while out on the streets of Downtown. She hoped that it would also aid in her disguise of being one of the Unmarked. After all, it was common knowledge to most that Marked rarely ventured out much during the day. She had ventured out to Mirage Hills early that morning, before the sun had risen over the horizon. It was a rather ambitious walk and she needed to get a head start if she were to get there before the sun finally rose. She could walk one way home in the direct sunlight, but both ways would surely do her in. It was briskly cold outside, as it was winter, but she could bear it enough. Taking time out to enjoy things that brought her back to the past was something Hayley truly looked forward to. She didn’t do it too often (for she didn’t want to dwell on the past) but when she did, it was when she felt most alive. Snow crusted the ground, though there were no clouds to block the sun’s rays today. Things were partially cleared up from the past few days of sun shine, but it was definitely apparent that it was winter time. The small clouds of vapor that rose overhead as Hayley walked was enough evidence to justify that. She settled herself on a bus stop bench that sat on one of the street corners leading out of Downtown. There she arranged her sketch pad on her lap and turned her frame so that she was gazing up towards the expanse of Mirage Hills. In the distance was a rather large house – not an animal, but it would suffice. Carefully holding her pencil in her mittened hands, she began to start a rough sketch of the house and the snow crusted hills that surrounded it. |

The appearance and personality are lacking. Perhaps add another good five sentences to each?

I hope this is better?
Just let me know if there is anything else I need to improve on.
Also, since he is a canon, I was wondering if there was anymore background information on him? I don't think anyone else is playing another Taylor character at the moment, but I just wanted to make sure that it was alright to create my own family history, and that there isn't already something created for the Taylors.
