Jurek (Polish Series)

**Jurek Utop** (1978-2007) is a ghost of a drunken car salesman from the early 2000s who drowned at the river of the House Of The Poniatowski Family from Dominowojo's Polish version of Ghosts.

## Personality

Jurek was sleazy, lazy and sarcastic in his life; these qualities were not good for being a car salesman like he was, but he did the job anyway to earn some cash. He was more focused on his leisure time, which was basically just partying and getting drunk - the last one sometimes not just during leisure. He had many mates from his "special" charm, one of his friends including the owner of the House Of The Poniatowski Family at the time, as well as too many girlfriends to count which pretty much only liked him for his looks. Jurek was also very cunning and a good lier who was an expert in bending the truth which helped him sell lots of cars, only for his buyers to arrive back home with with their paint all washed off and their new car's tyres burst after being recently bought. Lying also helped him get away with cheating on his girlfriends.

As a ghost, Jurek is unfortunately still very much as when he was alive, though he seems to be even more sarcastic since he is annoyed that he is dead. He is the most recent ghost, thus he isn't used much to death. He likes to joke about the other ghosts to make them look stupider than him, this boosting his small element of arrogance.

He acts slightly tipsy, but even more tipsy when he thinks about his death and has more river water drip from him as a sort of defense mechanism to stop thinking about it.

## Appearance

Jurek was dressed (at his job and at parties) in a pinstripe suit with a buttoned shirt and nice tie (a more looser shirt at parties, as well as a more colourful tie). He also wore long black trousers with a black belt and polished shoes; Jurek dressed like a gentleman on these occasions, but his clothes was misleading to his personality, to say the least.

When he died, Jurek wore a dark blue suit, a playful looking tie with gaudy patterns, soggy trousers and sea grass-covered shoes. His overall clothes were all dark, since he died wet in water.

Jurek had sleek blond hair, with kelp between it now as a ghost. His face is also very well-proportioned and manly which made lots of girls fall in love with him.

## Life

Jurek had everything he wanted in his school years as a teenager; popularity, many mates, many girls who liked who wanted to date him, and later on, *booze*. He never specified how he got hands on it, but it might've had something to do with one of his best mates.

When he was over eighteen years old his parents told him to find a job, but Jurek wanted one where he could earn easy money so he began working at the local car dealership. There he learnt the art of conning people so he was guaranteed to get customers' money, only for them to realise only after they bought it what horrible condition the car they got was. Sometimes Jurek missed work all together to go out with mates to get drunk and stuff like that. It can be argued that Jurek was an alcoholic, though he wasn't ever really depressed, since he had everything he ever wanted, as mentioned before.

At some point in his life, perhaps in his car dealership years, he met a new friend: the owner of The House Of The Poniatowski Family during the time. They have got along very well since then despite a noticeable age gap, Jurek being in his early twenties and the owner being fifty-ish years old. Jurek was eventually invited to the owner's New Millennium party. This was the biggest thing that Jurek was ever part of and he, like everyone else, had a great time (drinking still played a part in this though).

When Jurek was in his late twenties, he was invited to another party at the House Of The Poniatowski Family this time celebrating the owner's 60th birthday. Another fun time took place, also with drinking but also including cheating on his then at the time girlfriend. Late at night when he was absolutely hammered, Jurek accidentally fell into The House Of The Poniatowski Family's river and drowned himself, after such a crazy and eventful night.

## Death

When Jurek died, he was so drunk when it happened that it took him nearly half an hour to realise that he was dead. When he finally came to his senses when his severe tipsiness weared off a bit, he got into a drunk rage dripping river water from his body madly and descending back to full on intoxicatedness because of his "defense mechanism" when thinking about his death. The other ghosts who haunted the House Of The Poniatowski Family before him calmed him down as much as they could until passed-out from a mix of the shock of dying and drunkenness.

The next day, he did not wake up with a hangover because he was destined to always be drunk for the rest of his time as a ghost. Jurek decided to end it all, forgetting that he was already dead, so he went over to the same river he drowned in and tried to drown again. Nothing happened, he thought, and he felt stupid for believing he'd die, but a living person who was leaving from the party at the house, distressed from the news of Jurek's death from yesterday, discovered the ghost of Jurek and his power to be visible in water as a blurry vision. The person was horridly surprised to see the dead Jurek's vision and dipped his hand deep in the water - he could not feel anything. The person decided they were just hallucinating from the shock of hearing about Jurek's death. Jurek noticed this strange behaviour and told the other ghosts and they all came to the conclusion that that's Jurek's power as a ghost.

Upon finally accepting his curse to stay as a ghost, Jurek tried to get used to his new "life" and befriend the other ghosts. Most got on well with him to say the least, but Andrzej and Beata have held somewhat of a tiny grudge against him for his seeming lack of morality and his natural tipsy behaviour. But as years went by, Jurek and the others were getting on well and after 15 years since Jurek met them, him and the others were like average housemates; sometimes bickering, sometimes getting on fine.

## Relationships

### Beata II's Predecessor

Some time in his life, Jurek made friends with a man who then later inherited the House Of The Poniatowski Family before the early '90s. They had a friendly relationship and Jurek was invited to many of his parties in the house, most notably the New Millennium party in 2000 and Beata II's Predecessor's 60th birthday party which was the same day when Jurek died. The Predecessor later died of a heart attack in the early 2010s, making Beata II the new owner of the House Of The Poniatowski Family.

### Jurek's Many Girlfriends

Jurek was very popular with girls ever since he was a teenager, so many of them went out of him. Many of them only were with him because he was popular and quite handsome. His last girlfriend, when she heard about his death and his cheating before it, didn't feel sorry at all for him dying.

## Notes

* His whole name is pronounced "You-reck Oo-top".
* His surname, "Utop", loosely means to drown, which connects to his death.
* Jurek is Dominowojo's version of Julian.
