❤☢ - For Jake, if you would ma'am!
❤ to learn about my character’s past relationships
Jake married when he was young, he fell head over heels with Glenda, she was young and full of life and he was just starting out in his legal career, they were happy though. Her father was a humble pastor, didn’t make much but brought up Glenda on his own and Jake couldn’t have been a more suitable match for her. After getting married, they had two children, a boy and a little girl and they were the soul of Jake, he really was happy, loved them all with everything in his being.
Then he met Clancy, the man he became legal partners with and eventually lovers, the first time anything remotely sexual/romantic happened they both were intoxicated, celebrating some big advance in their careers. It was a fairly toxic relationship in the sense that Jake felt helpless because he was afraid of hurting Glenda and his family, Clancy didn’t really care but that made more sense when Clancy turned out to be a Vampire and was the one who changed Jake.
Ultimately, both his relationships ended in torment and death. Clancy is still alive as far as Jake knows.
☢ to learn about my character’s phobias
I guess he’s afraid of hurting people, he doesn’t like being a Vampire, hates it, in fact, he’d rather be snuffed out before he hurts anyone else, but he’s been doing alright with helping people instead of devouring them. He’s also very paranoid around other Vampires, mostly because his past interactions with them weren’t good.
As far as irrational fears go, Jake doesn’t really have any, so to speak. He’s really just afraid of hurting people (which is why he’s hesitant to getting attached to people).
