Background Information
Jerric's parents were rich high-class people living in Esthar. He was separated from them when he was 5 years old. His father went into the Esthar army and his mother worked as one of Dr. Odine's assistants. They sent him to Trabia Garden, wanting him to have a good education and a good job in the future. A few weeks later a gunblade arrived for him with a note from his father saying it was a gift to him. From Trabia Garden he lived a pretty normal life.
He was part of one of the many basketball teams and was achieved high marks in all his grades. He showed particular interest in remodeling and the garden sent him to Fisherman’s Horizon where he spent nearly every summer learning basic and very limited advance techniques as part of the learn abroad program. No were near an expert, he has learned his way around most types of weapons and is able to do a decent job when it comes to upgrades, granted he has the proper manual of course.
When he was still in Trabia, he was pulled aside from classes and informed that his father was killed in the army and the gunblade he got was part of his inheritance. The other part of his inheritance is half of his father's vast amount of money, but he can only receive it if he becomes a SeeD. The school informed Jerric that he was very close, but due to the fact that they were so close to Esthar they desired that Jerric apply to be transferred to Balamb Garden. Jerric did this, regardless of the fact that he was not going to run away, and was transferred to Balamb Garden the following semester.
History at Balamb Garden
Esthar Attack
He did not do much the first couple weeks other then move into his dorm, 174. The first combat experience at Balamb he had was when Balamb Garden was under attack by some unknown force. Later they found out it was the Esthar army that had attack the garden because they thought the garden was working against them. Jerric was shot three times, twice bullets had skimmed his arm which tore a bit of muscle but not enough to do serious damage and one in the lower intestine. The doctors told him to keep it bandaged up for two months. Once things settled down a bit they moved the dorms around, making his new dorm number 96.
The Lion Sleeps
Appearance
One may consider him attractive, but not much more than that. His black hair is very smooth and soft, but rarely styled in any particular manner. He was born with brown eyes but, due to accidently consuming some of his mother’s research materials when he was a small child, his eyes turned red. Jerric has an above average build and no scars or identifying marks of any kind. He always wears his student ID tags under whatever shirt his is wearing. He also wears glasses when in combat or while reading.
He wears a black button up, long sleeve shirt with the top button often undone. A loose silver tie normally accompanies this shirt and a pair of black dress pants completes the look. When he is conducting personal business, he can be seen wearing a dark two piece suit and a silver tie tight around his neck. The only exception to this attire is when he is attending classes or official Balamb Garden events, in which case Jerric wears the prescribed Balamb Garden Uniform.
Analysis
Upon first glance over Jerric, you’d think that he is a loner and an introvert, but it is actually quite the opposite. When he first got to Trabia, he made many friends and didn’t have to try very hard, as it was part of the school’s vision. Later on this would be a crippling factor in Jerric’s social skills, such as when he was part of learn abroad program at Trabia, he went to Fisherman’s Horizon and didn’t make any friends at all, with the exception of his remodeling teacher. He treated moving to Balamb Garden the same way and within a year, still made no social connections.
Jerric has amazing manners when you’re on his good side, which were planted within him prior to and while he was at Trabia. If he immediately knows he is not going to like you, you’ll be able to tell right away as his words will seem sharper toward you and the polite mannerisms recede and reveal sarcastic comments, often poking fun at an individual’s status in society.
