## Background

He lived in a small town in Massachusetts called Dracut until he went to UNH for college. He went to Los Angeles for the semester for a work study where he was helping with research on plastics.He lived with his roommate while in Los Angeles who had a seperate work study. Graham began to take an interest in Jake because Jake would usually stay late and then spend time in Griffith Park to read his textbooks by cellphone flashlight. He loathed talking to most people and any gathering with more than 20 people and would often have panic attacks over the ideas of either of those but he was able to talk to Graham easily. One day Graham was late to what had become their normal meeting at Griffith Park after Jake finished work. When Graham did show he was very hurt and before Jake could try to help he pounced and drained Jake killing him. When he realized what he did Graham embraced Jake and made him into one of the kindred. Graham explained to him what had happened and helped set up Jake's new unlife. Graham with the help of a duskborn called Michel got Jake a new place to call his own as he was living with someone who now believed he was dead.Graham disappeared a week into starting to help Jake with his unlife.  A few days before Graham disappeared he used demenation on JD as an attempt to help JD deal with the voices that he had from the Malkavian bane,which Graham hadn’t explained to JD yet. For the night the voices would speak with his voice and for a bit it was easier to deal with the voices then they got worse. The day after the voices got worse Graham disappeared. After Graham disappeared Michel helped him occasionally. Always in exchange for a vial of JD’s blood. One of the first,most important and expensive(3 vials of blood) thing Michel did for JD was introduce him to the Nosferatu Leo. Leo was the person that taught JD how to use his disciplines,how boons work,set up his Mask and told him how dangerous kindred politics could be. Somewhat. He was also the person that taught JD to hate kindred politics and who got JD into the most trouble. That is because every question that JD had or thing JD needed was a boon which was usually paid off in jobs. The jobs were always minor burglary jobs. A few were for kindred and that is how JD got into the crosshairs of a Sara. Sara is a relatively powerful ventrue who found out that JD was the one who robbed one of the mechanics that she owned and was the one who did a job for her. When she asked Leo about this new lick he told her about who his sire was and who he was. She tracked his house down and confronted him. She let him know that his sire was Camirilla and because of that so was he. However he had been doing jobs for some anarchs and if he wanted to survive the rest of his nights he would do what she asked or he would have some very angry Camarilla to deal with. He agreed and does what she says while she tries to make his life even worse. Recent events have distracted her and he dreads when she will return to ruining his life. After his conversation with Sara, JD went to Leo to find out where to find other kindred so that he would no longer only be affected by what others do and start doing stuff himself. He was given the address of Sweet Tooth and after a week of dealing with the last bits of Sara’s interference with his dubious source of income(hacking into some of the people’s house he breaks into to feed from) and debating with himself he went to see Paisley for the first time.

## Blood Palette

Static and whispered words---voices in the dark that whisper terrible things that can not be repeated or understood but the idea behind them remains. The buzzing of electric lines, the feel of looking into a hall of mirrors, the twist and turn of a ditch tilt on a camera, something that makes your stomach clench and churn---but under it---power---strength---pale flesh on moonlight, the sound of tinkling glass upon concrete and a warmth that doesn't come from you but instead wraps you in it. A sense of pride for those you care about---the knowledge that you would gladly fight and die for those you love and by god is there love there. The feeling of a warm coat, of cool air on brushed steel---and the whirling of machines that only you know how to operate.
