## Jace

* Act.1
* Act.2

## Personality

Anxious, Loud, Careless, Fake, Timid  || Cheerful, Observant, Patient, Genuine, Charming

At face value, Jace is an extremely loud and flashy bag of air who loves to party. The stereotypical high-class bar brat who loves booze, billiards, and busty blondes and does it with daddy's money. He's a good time embodied: pleasant, agreeable, kiss ass, and a big tipper. That's at face value. Underneath the thick layer of swagger, Jace is incredibly introverted and struggles to understand what people want - which is why he always agrees with them since he wants them to like him. He struggles with abandonment issues and reinvents himself to something people would enjoy interacting with, regurgitating traits and habits of the people around him. He's a yes man who doesn't like to rock the boat. Catch him off guard and he becomes the incredibly awkward human he really is. He's harmless, just has his priorities a little off.

TL;DR Light hearted whimsical flirt but actually has a poor sense of personal worth and is desperate for attention and has no idea what he's doing. But not too much attention, that's not great.

## Background

* Son of Bacardi Mia, socialite and heiress to a family made fortune; and Alexander Diamond, a security tycoon
* Has an older twin sister, Bacardi Roe (polisci, doesn't use her education/career as a socialite)
* Attended private school where it was discovered he was a math prodigy
* Attended university (Princeton, Undergrad; Stanford, Post) for six years where he achieved an M.Sc. in statistics and probabilities
* During those six years and subsequent year after, he played an incredible amount of online poker as a hobby that eventually became an obsession and profession
* Was signed onto a professional poker team due to his online stats, convinced to do a few public celebrity/charity tournaments by his sister
* Continues to make (and lose) ass money through poker and the stock market
* Works as an accountant for fun, that's right he does it for fun

At age 7, his mother walked into the ocean and never walked out.

Jace was the image of a perfect prodigy - except for the fact that the social aspect of his personality was incredibly stunted. Smart, talented, but very antisocial whether it be from fear of interaction and consequence. Jace finds comfort in numbers and equations since they can be solved and have clear answers and stability - people are unpredictable and while he enjoys interaction and acceptance, it mentally wears him out trying to figure out how to solve an unsolvable problem. If only humans were like games and had predictable responses and walkthroughs, right? Paired in parallel with his much brighter and peppier twin sister, Roe, he retreated further. The suicide of their mother manifested within them differently. While their reasoning was the same (I’m not good enough to be loved, she didn’t love me enough), Jace retreated and Roe flourished. Jace feared rejection and Roe desired acceptance.

An absolute introvert through high school and the beginning of university, it was only after the encouragement of his sister to move in with her (“I’m never home and you’re always home, why not just share a place!”) that he started to actually become a person. At best, Jace is a mimic, he does whatever his sister does or what she suggests for him to do. Roe is bright and confident and people love her no matter what - she was clearly doing something right. AND SO A PUBLICALLY PARTY MONSTER WAS EVENTUALLY CREATED.

Online poker started off as a fun hobby, playing with his affinity for numbers and percentages to make some pocket change but that too... also eventually mutated into being offered a sponsorship to do it professionally. Turns out if you win a lot, you can keep playing! He only decided to be a part-time financial advisor because he wanted friends to invite him out every now and then. Not too many times because he needs to recharge. But sometimes is nice. He has a very conflicted relationship with humans. Long story short, Jace works for fun.

His reason for responding to the invite is because he hasn't seen or heard from his sister in weeks and found the invite in what he assumed was her things but since they share shit who knows who it was actually addressed to. He just assumes it's one of those artsy secret society parties for the hip and happening and that he might happen on Roe's friends to ask where the fuck she is.

## Trivia

* Shares an extremely flashy wardrobe with his sister, not for lack of money either
	+ He doesn’t know what the hell fashion is so he just grabs patterns and bright colors and calls it a day
* Also can’t fucking cook
* Has barely any social media presence but has a decent following from the few televised poker tourneys he’s played
	+ You’re more likely to find him on his sister’s instagram when he lets her post pictures of him
	+ Online theory is it’s because he’s fucking around on some private island but it’s actually because he’s too busy being in his apartment eating takeout and reading Cracked articles
* His personal life is too boring to document
* Live tournament stats: has four final table finishes, two titles

Spends money like water, he was raised with a lot and now he earns way too much

* Online poker and stocks are his primary source of income but he moonlights as a financial advisor for some less than legal people
	+ They find him an excellent third party with a personality, the fact that he’s actually smart is an added bonus
	+ He just wants friends to invite him out now and then but doesn’t want to be bound to an office
	+ This has also led to some horrible situations
* He needs constant recharging from socializing, it’s why he disappears after the face of the planet after one public tournament or a week in Vegas
* Speaking of which, despite what he says, he hates Vegas
	+ Actually, it might be closer to fear
* Braiding, knitting, crocheting is therapeutic for him
* Has thalassophobia that sometimes translates into aquaphobia but it's relatively under control right now
