 GOURMET BALLSfourteen | male | player | ding dong | jeromy butlerThe CharacterJeromy's a pretty good kid. He can be a bit of a prankster, and sometimes his teasing goes too far, but he does his best to make up for it in the end. While he's not necessarily the brightest of the bunch, the boy's no dullard or slouch; he's just an average fourteen-year-old, and young teens have never been known for their exceptional cleverness.
And he doesn't need it, for the most part. He's got a work ethic and a genial, relaxed nature that usually helps prop him up when his lack of ingenuity tries to knock his feet from beneath him. Sure, junior high in Japan is rough as a foreigner, especially one whose grasp on the language isn't up to snuff--but he can't do much about that. His parents, having only recently moved here on the heels of a promising job opportunity, couldn't find an apartment near both their work and an international high school. He's not miffed, though. His younger sister seems to be doing alright, and he's getting by, so why worry?
This is the stance Jeromy takes toward most things in life. So long as his family's alright, he is, too. It doesn't matter that his social circle is crippled, or that his grades are lower than they ever were back in the States. His parents are happy, his sister is integrating, he's got a tutor, soccer club is fun, there's a whole new world of cooking here, and when everything else is taken care of...there's the game.
Digimon Online. It's practically worth the ostracization he's experienced since moving to the country. There's nothing like this back in America, and whenever he's got a few hours free and some cash handy, that's where he wants to be. It can be challenging to play with his weak Japanese, but that's part of the intrigue: his tutor had suggested it to him as a learning aide, and it's turning out to be quite handy. Even if he can find no one else to chat with, the Digimon AI is quite accommodating--so much so that he's starting to use it as a replacement for his social life.
