Jason and Jenny

Jason woke up one morning in a junk yard with amnesia.
He calls himself Jason because that's the name on the tag of the leather jacket he was wearing when he woke up. Luckily, after a week or two of sleeping on park benches, he discovered his affinity to engines, got a job at a Garage on the edge of town, and could barely afford a run-down apartment downtown.

Well-honed skills with a knife; an extensive knowledge of cars and motorcycles; a lingering smell of cigarettes on his jacket; the way muggers and law-abiding citizens all avoid him like the plague; his natural preference to alleyways; and a craving for peanut butter whenever he's nervous or agitated are the only clues he has to his past. He figures he must have been a pretty hardened criminal and tends to label himself as such, even though the only law he's broken since he woke up was the Speed Limit. He hates crowds, noisy women, hospitals, and shaving the cleft in his chin.

Jason is shorter than average, but thickly set. He usually wears loose-fitting, old jeans, t-shirts, black hiking boots, and of course, the leather jacket because he feels like it's the only key to his identity. His hair is almost black with highlights, which have grown out to the ends. His skin is pale and his eyes are icy blue. When faced with a difficult decision, like whether to buy Crunchy or Creamy, he tends to rub his prominently bumpy French nose and scratch his sideburns. While driving to and from work in his faded blue pickup truck he practically got for free, Jason will listen to anything on the radio with a guitar solo in it.


Jenny was born to a high-income parents who weren't planning on being parents. Her mother had long-since passed her prime and the birth was very difficult on her. After an emergency C-section and difficult recovery, her mother subconsciously resents her daughter, whom they named Jennifer, after her paternal grandmother. Both jenny's mother (a Socialite with her own column in a Financial Magazine) and her father (the owner of a large bank and large business investor) work constantly and unintentionally dumped their daughter on their many employed servants. Jenny learned early that children were meant to be seen as little as possible and not heard at all.
Just when Jenny started to have her own private tutor (even an inconvenient daughter of two rich parents is too good for public pre-school), The family stocks went south and her family lost half their wealth. Her mother turned to frequent nights "out" and wearing more make up than usual, and her father turned to drink. Many late nights, Jenny's rich, successful, well-breed father would start raving about how his financial ruin is due to an untimely daughter and beat jenny about once a week. The maids' salaries were doubled to keep them quiet. Jenny ran away three times. the last time, her parents didn't even know for two days, and then they didn't phone the police, for fear of their reputation.
Jenny is soft spoken and laughs and cries easily. She is slow to anger, but tends to hold on to grudges. She is very trusting, to a fault. She makes friends easily, and is completely loyal until her trust is betrayed. She's extremely flirtatious to any man with ears and a smile, but also blatantly innocent and gullible. She loves ball room dancing, soft rock, dogs, romance novels, the color purple, and her history classes. Jenny has been good-naturedly teased by her friends as an over-achieving grade-grubber. She's been known for puking before final exams.

Jenny is slightly taller than average and gangly; rumors have spread that she had an eating-disorder. She wears her reddish brown, straight hair in a bob. She believes her bony hands and freckles to be her personal cross, and her green eyes to be her one virtue. She loves wearing necklaces but is afraid to get her ears pierced. Her most prized possession is a stuffed rabbit backpack that she's had as long as she can remember, and it looks it.
