## Summary

Jedidiah “Jed” Rivzen is the main protagonist of Thyself, and narrates every chapter (excluding Heavens on Standby.) He plays the role as The Triangle.

## Appearance

Jed is a short Japanese man with messy medium-length black hair and heterochromia (yellow and pink). He has a slightly noticeable overbite in his upper lip, and wears a red tie with a brown sweater vest. Underneath is a long sleeved collared shirt that’s far too big for him.

His pants are worn out blue sweatpants, and accompanies them with short white boots.

## Personality

Throughout the series, Jed is found to be paranoid around those he is unfamiliar with. He is also shown to be slightly rude around those he doesn’t fully trust, such as Mirad at the beginning of Lost in the Isles, and Apollo.

## Background

Not much has been revealed about Jed’s full background.

He is seen to have been friends with Apollo since a very young age, and the two of them attended Christ’s Hope Highschool together. During highschool Jed went through a rebellious phase with Apollo. It is implied that something happened to Apollo his Junior year, which had caused Jed to begin to have cruel hallucinations of him. He is told to now attend an unnamed art college in California.

## Story

### Introduction to Your Show

Jed appears on a cruise ship admiring the stars, and he walks away. You get to name him shortly after.

### Lost in the Isles

Jed gets off the cruise ship and runs into Mirad, who asks her to hide him. While reluctant at first, he hides her from the police, and books a hotel room for the both of them.

### The Colorful Ball

Jed wakes up to hear people on the news talking about the kidnapping of the Hawaiian princess, putting the blame on him, and announcing that they’re holding a ball in order to raise awareness of the situation. Jed wakes Mirad up to tell her, however upon seeing her upset over the ball, he offers to dance with her in their room. Jed catches Mirad’s fall, and the two of them discuss their personal life.

Over the weeks, Mirad and Jed are shown to get closer, and Jed agrees to a picnic date with Mirad.

### Signed, Yours Truly,

Jed and Mirad enjoy eachothers company on their date, and Jed begins to ramble about his interests. Halfway through Jed has the sense that they’re being watched, and Mirad announces that she’s going to take a nap.

Jed yells out to the stalker to reveal themselves, and from the shadows a figure named Apollo appears, referring to Jed as an “old friend”. Apollo convinces him that Mirad is simply out to get him, and so Jed, whilst panicking, picks up a picnic basket and begins smashing it on Mirad’s head, killing her with head trauma

The rest of Jed’s story remains unknown until the day of release.

## Trivia

* Jed’s shape differs from the rest of the cast, due to the fact that the triangle is a common theme of life in the story. This is because you are playing through his life.
* His character design is loosely inspired by Jedidiah A.A Martin from Camp Here & There.
	+ His name however, was inspired by Jedi/Marsh, the co-writer of Thyself, so it’s a funny coincidence.
* In a much earlier version of Thyself, Jed was named Simon, and he wore a black and yellow Japanese uniform, whilst having red eyes. This was scrapped, and is used as his Highschool self
* He is diagnosed with schizophrenia and autism.
	+ His special interest is birds, and he carries a book around titled "Bird Facts 101"
* In a fantasy AU, he would be a knight.
* Jed is allergic to cats. This is a funny parallel to Mirad's cat, named Jon.
* He has a wide music taste, however is mostly seen listening to Austin Weber.
