AGE: 29
GROUP: Somnium Staff
BIRTHDAY: August 22
OCCUPATION English teacher
GENDER: male
PLAY-BY: Ewan McGregorappearance
Jeremy is a friendly looking guy with slightly boyish features. He usually wears rather casual clothes such as a shirt and a pair of jeans that match is sometimes slightly ruffled looking hairdo.personality
Jeremy is a kind and friendly person who might appear shy to those who do not know him. He likes to observe things first before he makes an impression, he mostly appears polite and sometimes almost introverted. However, he can be quite outgoing and cheerful when surrounded by those he has grown to like. He´s a smart guy who has a great passion for the subject he teaches and for his job in general. His slightly odd and blunt humour can seem bewildering, but is not intended in any way insulting or hurtful – he can simply be a bit of an oddball at times.
Jeremy usually follows the goals he set for himself with great determination. He´s caring and attentive, a good listener who tends to worry about others and set their good before his own – something that sometimes gets into the way of what´s good for him.
His range of interest mostly covers what´s daily life for him. He appreciates a good book as well as some quality time with friends. He´s rather flexible and might change interests on a whim which over the years has led to him gathering quite a range of weird little stories to tell. He has a weak spot for mythology and languages and can be quite nerdy on those topcs once he thinks that someone shows interest.family & history

HISTORY:
Jeremy was born and grew up in a rather small place in Conneticut where he had the typical, rather random, nice but not overly exciting and overly unusual childhood. When he was 14, his family moved and Jerry, torn away from his friends, became a loner and outcast at his new school before he eventually ended up with the “bad kids”. It wasn´t the fact that he wasn´t interested in anything that made him act that way (actually he had always quite liked some subjects, English in particular), it was more a rebellio of sorts, a reaction to having to leave his childhood friends behind and a reaction to his parents being quite conservative. They always expected their son to excel, therefore he didn´t.
He somehow managed to get through his high school years even though his reputation was suffering, but at age 18 he had left his rough years behind and started to study after graduation, never having been too much of a nerd. He started studying law, mostly because his strict father wanted him to, trying to pressure the boy into what he thought to be a fitting career for his son. However, after two years, Jerry finally did what he had unsuccessfully tried by rebelling earlier: he insisted on an own opinion and decided to become an English teacher and thus following a career that truly interested him (and that probably irked his parents a lot who had reacted to even that decision with bewilderment.) . Maybe a funny path for someone who had never been outstanding at school nor liking it much, but he´s said to have some sort of a connection to kids and teens, maybe because he has stayed a kid at heart.
He studied as far away from home as he could afford and during his studies discovered another area that interested him greatly: the science of dreaming. Seeking to connect these two extremes, dream science and teaching he heard about the dream school eventually and, two years after his graduation, quit his job at a state school near Boston to apply to that school.dream form
Jerry´s dream form is a griffin. Not a really imposing and huge creature, more a smaller, ragged one roughly the size of a large dog. The colour of the creature´s fur roughly resembles that of Jerry´s hair, the feathers of the head are a dirty grey, while the wings are black. Just like Jerry´s waking self, his dream form looks a little ruffled and not too impressive except for that certain spark in its eyes that tells a good observer a lot about a passionate character.
The form of the rugged griffin represents Jerry´s personality. He has felt torn quite a few times in his life, therefore the chimera form of his dream self, being torn between the earth and sky, neither fully lion nor fully bird, represents that. He is a free spirit, one not too bound to what´s real and proper, but just as griffins are told to be according to mythology, Jerry is someone who is highly protective – of those that are entrusted to him and those he regards as friends and people close to him.
