FULL BIO
Once upon a time, Jasper was a shy, quiet kid with scary high intelligence and (1) best friend (his mom). He had zero extracurriculars, zero interest in making friends in the cafeteria, and zero interest in the rumor mill.
But then he discovered the power of YouTube. And it was all downhill from there.
One would not expect a kid from Gravewood, West Virginia to be an influencer. But what started as a stupid movie review account (do you really want to hear what a 12-year-old thinks of The Dark Knight or Inception?) spiraled into something much, much worse. He went from YouTube to Vine back to YouTube and then to TikTok, amassing followers for pranks, daily vlogging, comedy (questionable), tea reports, ranking content, and light gaming.
Even though his family had enough money for him to have plenty of options, Jasper was so sure that it was his ticket out of town that he put all of his eggs into the one basket. By the time he graduated from high school, he had millions of followers, a squad of friends that may or may not have mostly tolerated him for the clout, and only one college acceptance. He hadn’t even bothered to apply - his mom had done it for him.
Luckily it was to a school he had an interest in, and for Journalism to boot. He didn’t know how much money his parents paid to UCLA to get him in, but he was sure it was a pretty penny. Either that or they pretended he was on the rowing team...
Anyway. He lasted one semester before he found his classes to not be worth his time.
Immediately upon his withdrawal, he decided to stick around in LA to pursue... something. A spur of the moment and regrettable decision. His choice to move into a content creator house was potentially the worst judgment call he had ever made.
Some situations (ex: frat houses) lend themselves to a pack mentality, encouraging actions that one would normally never take via peer pressure. If everyone’s doing it, why should you not?
If everyone’s pranks are becoming increasingly more daring, how do you stay on top? How far are you willing to go to keep your status? Is it worth it?
Reader, it was not worth it.
He didn’t know whose idea it had been to break into Taylor Swift’s place in Beverly Hills, but when the police arrived, he was standing outside with a camera and a whole lot of fear. He sold out his friends in seconds and got off easy because he hadn’t actually entered the house (the security cameras, his super expensive lawyer argued, made that clear). But it was too late. The damage was done.
Audible and HelloFresh pulled their sponsorships immediately.
And he officially began his cancelled era.
He’s been back in Gravewood for about a year, hiding out on his hiatus. In that time, he’s become the most annoying person in town. The Jacob Ben Israel of Gravewood, he’s the star reporter for The Banshee. It’s a position acquired for him by his wealthy parents, who... own The Banshee.
Jasper is one of two full-time staff members and his sensationalist headlines and blind items sections have been key drivers in getting readership up. He never lets anyone forget it.
A degree in journalism? Journalistic integrity? Who needs either of those when you can publish statements you’ve heard through an extended game of telephone?
An eternal child who has never had to face the consequences of his actions before, Jasper is just biding his time until he can stage his comeback. Until then, he’s trying to make things more interesting in Small Town, USA.
