## History

In "99 Problems", Harold is present at the party. He can be seen talking to his son, asking if Spencer was the one who caused his injury.

He is pulled away by his son before he could get into a physical altercation with Spencer.

When his son Asher Adams embarrasses himself and his ex-girlfriend Layla at the Homecoming dance by letting the whole of Beverly High know he cheated on her with her best friend Olivia in a speech, Billy benches him for the next game. Asher is benched for being drunk and drinking on school property and he begs Billy to give him one chance as the next game would have scouts present for college. Billy refuses and reminds him that actions have consequences. Harold takes matters into his own hands by trying to bully and threaten Billy into putting Asher back on the team but Billy stands his ground. At the game, Jordan figures out that Asher had given away their teams game to their opponents and he is kicked off the team by Billy.

After Harold finds out that football is no longer in Asher's future, he tells him to go live with his mother - Asher reminds him that his mum doesn't want anything to do with him - Harold tells Asher that it's his issue now.

JoJo

**Joanna Noëlle Levesque**, known professionally as **JoJo**, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She portrays Sabine in *All American*.

## Biography

JoJo is a chart-topping, award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress who, at just 30 years old, is already a veteran of the music industry. 17 years into her career, her fourth studio album *Good To Know*, debuted at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums Chart and earning widespread global acclaim from Vulture, TIME, Variety, NYLON, NPR, The FADER, and more, with Associated Press proclaiming "good to know is more than good. It's grand."

At just 13, JoJo burst onto the scene with her self-titled debut album, whose breakout smash "Leave (Get Out)" made her the youngest-ever solo artist to have a debut #1 single in the U.S. JoJo went on to sell over four million copies and became the singer's first Platinum record, which she followed with a string of additional hits, including the Top 3 single "Too Little Too Late." In 2016, following 10 years of legal battles with her former label that prevented her from releasing new music, JoJo returned with Mad Love., which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200. In 2018, JoJo re-recorded and re-released her first two albums (JoJo and The High Road) under her own label Clover Music, so her fans could finally get the nostalgia they had been missing for so many years. She has also pushed herself outside the confines of genre, collaborating with artists ranging from PJ Morton to Jacob Collier.

On October 1, 2021, JoJo released Trying Not To Think About It. The capsule project is a musical expression of her continued honesty, vulnerability and transparency around mental health, tackling the different shades of it – including anxiety, depression, negative thoughts, relationship self-sabotage, and emotional immaturity. Following its release, JoJo embarked on a sold out run of six live performance dates across the United States in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nashville and Los Angeles.

Ghule

### Kurzbeschreibung

Unbekannte Wesen, über die nicht viel bekannt ist. Sie ernähren sich von Menschenfleisch.

 — {{{2}}}

**Ghule** sind
Spezienfresser. Sie ernähren sich von Menschenfleisch (damit verbunden
auch das Fleisch von Schattenwesen) und anderen Ghulen. Unfähig andere
Nahrung zu sich zu nehmen, können sie zwar bis zu zwei Monate ohne etwas
 zu essen auskommen, verlieren aber bei starkem Hunger den Verstand.
Diese schwarzen, menschenartigen Wesen besitzen scharfe Sinne, eine
schnelle Heilung und eine Haut hart wie Stahl. Sie sind bekannt für ihre
 starke Gelenkigkeit und sind vier- bis siebenmal so stark wie Menschen.
 Normales Essen schwächt sie und kann sie töten. Ghule zählen weder zu
den Menschen, noch zu den Schattenweltlern. Sie halten sich meist in der
 Dunkelheit auf und über ihre Herkunft, Abstammung und Ziel ist wenig
bekannt.

Ghule hassen Licht. Sie flüchten entweder davor, wenn sie direkter Lichtstrahlung ausgesetzt sind oder bewegen sich darauf zu, wenn es sich um den Schein einer Fackel oder Taschenlampe handelt. Sie werden von Lärm und dem Geruch von Blut und Fleisch angezogen.

Ghule schreien sehr laut in einem hohen, stechenden Ton. Sie sind kleiner als Werwölfe.

Ghule sind nicht sehr intelligent. Sie leben in Gruppen zusammen und sind selten allein. Sie bewegen sich auf allen vieren.

Ghule kann man mit einem Kopfschuss töten.

Sie sondern eine grüngelbliche, schleimige Substanz ab, die sie ausspucken. Damit können sie ganze Schaltkreise lahmlegen. Er ist ätzend und giftig, kann Menschen wie auch Schattenweltler verletzen. Selbst Vampire. Erste Anzeichen für eine Vergiftung sind Verfärbungen der Haut in allen Regenbogenfarben, Fieber, Übelkeit, Schlappheit und plötzliche Erschöpfung. Später kommen Halluzinationen und Wahnvorstellungen hinzu. Im schlimmsten Fall kann das Gift einen lähmen.
