He's good at ad-libbing, though. Oh wait, this stuff belongs in >personality. Okay, some Leo traits that _do_ pertain to Jeremy are... >"vain, dogmatic," (I had to look that one up) "creative, enthusiastic," >(maybe _too_ enthusiastic about some things) "fidelity, passion for luxury" >(mostly in clothing) "musician." He is also "not a good judge of >character." He is very attracted to girls, but is not inclined to act on >infatuations. He is also prone to fevers when he gets sick. Leo is >associated with the tarot cards Queen (nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more) >of Wands and the Emperor. Wow I am having so much fun. > >Blood Type: AB.

She loves to >talk, and won't shut up. She doesn't understand subtle hints, or blatant >rudeness. She'll talk until she's done talking. She doesn't nag and lets >cleaning go lax until Saturday, when she suddenly transforms into an evil >tidy witch.

He >and Jeremy communicate via post, but Freddie knows that Jeremy is his son >biologically only, and their letters never go deeper than movies, music and >sports.

I picked it just because it was pretty. > >History >Born and raised in Salem, Jeremy grew up with his mother's maiden name as >his last, not even meeting his father until he was about seven. His mother >with slight reluctance allowed Jeremy to spend a few summers with his >father, not wanting an explosive blowout of "why didn't you let me meet >dad" when Jeremy was older. Before school, Jeremy accompanied his mom to >the hairdressers for work and endured many cheek-pinchings and "awww, what >a cute little boy"s. Sometimes he was employed by payment of ice cream to >wander around outside the door wearing a cardboard sandwich sign >advertising the hairdresser's. At the prospect of attending school, >Jeremy, having never played with many children before, was a bit >overwhelmed at all the people. Jeremy became somewhat popular in his >class, and was invited to several birthday parties. Not many withstanding >friendships were made in the early years, and Jeremy changed best friends >weekly. He was also cast as the king in the class production of 'A Merry >Old Soul Indeed!', a musical based on Old King Cole. Jeremy also began >lessons in piano, but after calling his teacher an old bat who wouldn't >know good music if it was shoved up her nose because of certain comments >made on the satanic nature of the Eagles' music at the age of twelve, he >switched from piano to bass. His father paid for these music lessons, and >for most of Jeremy's clothing, and Jeremy acquired a taste for Gap. >Through elementary and junior high at good old Andrew Louis Middle School, >Jeremy's love for Queen, Led Zepplin and the Eagles grew, and he weeded out >people he couldn't be friends with if they said they didn't like any of >these bands. Later on, most people tended to lie just to placate him. >Jeremy was able to blend in with almost any group, not having any best >friends, but was friends with nearly everybody, save those marked as >enemies early. Every year, Jeremy ran and lost for student government. >Jeremy was, ahem, "just friends" with all the girls, being attracted to >several at a time, but being too fearful of rejection or mocking to do >anything about it. He never got a growth spurt until high school, but was >grossly pimply for the entire 8th grade, and hasn't really stopped. In >high school, Salem High of course, Jeremy joined both school concert and >jazz bands and was nearly labeled a band geek, were it not for his in crowd >friends. He joined choral for the extra credit, but stayed because it >turned out he liked it. He has only recently started to grow facial hair, >something he is immensely proud of and is growing a haphazard >beard/sideburn/goatee that is shaped like Indonesia. Now that he's about >to graduate, he's thinking more about his future, and has gotten an >internship waiting for him at the local radio station. He is planning to >take journalism and broadcasting after high school. It took him forever >and lots of proddings from guidance counselors to make him decide, but he >finally did. > >Personality >Thank yous must go out to Sailor Freak first. I'd never have been able to >do this sans her website. >When Jeremy meets someone, his first question is invariably "Do you like >Queen?" Failing test numero uno, he moves onto "Do you like Led Zepplin?" >If you said no to the first, then usually a frown and a slightly >exasperated tone of voice will accompany the second. People usually >respond with a tentative "Who?" or "Yes." If they still haven't gotten it, >he'll ask desperately, "Do you like the Eagles?" Upon a third negative >answer, he'll either ask what the hell your problem is, or storm off >angrily. The way to avoid this little quiz is to introduce yourself first >and be nice off the bat. This will confuse Jeremy into thinking you're a >nice person and buy you some time. And maybe he'll even like you if by >chance later on he finds out you don't like his bands. >Jeremy acts like an idiot in groups. He'll say dumb things, he'll do dumb >things. He'll help bring trees in through basement windows and join in on >who-can-hit-their-head-to-the-ceiling-first contests. He'll go on wild >joyrides with people who can't legally drive. However, these are all >suggestions from other people. "Whaddya wanna do tonight, Germy?" and he >panicks. "Dunno," is the standard answer, or "Dun-NO!" if they start to >get pesky. >At home, Jeremy's time is spent avoiding his mother or shut in his room >listening to Queen, Led Zepplin or the Eagles. He doesn't do his homework >until 10:30 pm at the earliest, and even then only if its due the very next >day and is one of the first periods of the day. Otherwise, he figures he >can copy from someone else or just do it at lunch. >He gets along with his mom, and they rarely fight, but Jeremy finds her >irritating a lot of the time. With that whiny ditzy nasal voice of hers, >he'll sometimes explode with a loud "I DON'T CARE!!" in his >hasn't-quite-broken-yet-sore-throat-y voice he has. He rarely fights with >anyone, only over mediochre (memo to self: find out how to spell this) >things like, say, the greatness of Queen, Led Zepplin and the Eagles, or >how much Survivor sucks. He tends to agree non-commitally with everything >anyone says. >In his spare time, Jeremy listens to music, (of the three choices above, >and others of the same era) either on a stereo or on his discman, who's >headphones seem surgically stuck to his head. He also likes to be with >other people, no matter what they're doing. Slumber party? Sure! Doin' >illegal drugs? Count Jeremy in. Jeremy also loves soap operas, not that >he'd admit it, and shopping at the Gap, not that he'd admit that either. >He especially loves Days of Our Lives, and wishes that that dumb girl with >the brown hair would quit trying to get her kid back from the other chick. >As you can probably tell, Jeremy isn't the best with names. When in doubt, >call everyone 'Steve' is his motto. Although he takes pains to make sure >nobody does find out, should, theoretically, anyone find out he'd probably >laugh about it and stick up for himself, come out openly and add it to his >list dogmatic thinkings and obsessions. >Jeremy would pay good money to see Queen, Led Zepplin or the Eagles in >concert. Too bad they all either a) are broken up, b) have dead members, >or c) are broken up and have dead members. It's the tiniest hope that >maybe a reunion tour will come out. Keep your fingers crossed, Jeremy. A >more plausible dream is to become a radio DJ on an oldies station. He >figures the pay's not bad, and he can get paid to play music he likes and >be stupid in public, two of his most favorite things to do. Jeremy is >afraid of rejection, mainly by girls, which explains his going on 18 years >bachelor status. He is also afraid that people will see his hair. He >considers his hair to be the most hideous thing that ever walked the earth. > Another fear is failing. High school that is. As it stands, he is >walking on thin ice with an average of 59, due to his non-homework-icity. >His mom doesn't seem to care about his grades, as long as Jeremy is trying >his best. Sure Mom, I'm doing my best (knock on wood). Jeremy would never >ever ever sing in public alone. Speaking is one thing, but a karaoke bar >is out of the question. While he can play music, he can't sing to save his >life, although he enjoys choral. If headhunters said, "Look here, Germy, >we won't kill you and shrink your head if you can sing for us," Jeremy'd >have not only a shrunken head, but a voodoo curse placed over his rotten >decaying fly-ridden carcass, with potential Mummy consequences for future >archaeologists. He would never ever ask a girl out. If she asks him out, >that's fine, but Jeremy has this thing about the words 'no', 'sorry', 'I >think we should be just friends', and 'no you are the most hideousest thing >to walk the Earth. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a >hamster and your father smells of elderberries'. In the unlikely >circumstance that he was forced to sing or ask a girl out, he'd probably >laugh in the first case and try, or refuse until death upon the second. >Something that pisses Jeremy off is how people pronounce his name 'Germy'. >Get it right people! Second is that dumb song "Christmas in Kilarney". >What the hell? The words don't make sense and the tune is annoying. It's >not a Christmas song, it's a form of torture. People who like Linkin Park >also piss him off. How could anyone like such a crappy band? And >Survivor. Don't get him started on the evils of Survivor. Put some >clothes on, people. His mom's incessant nattering also pushes him o'er the >edge. I'm listening to Irish music right now and they say o'er a lot, so >bear with me. Jeremy doesn't particularily care about the Johnson's new >furnace. He likes his mom, but finds her annoying. When he's angry, >Jeremy will blush furiously and put on his 'mad face' which isn't mad at >all, but only peeved. He will then tug on his sleeves and stare at the >floor, almost unable to speak. He stamps his feet. He looks so >ridiculous, that he avoids getting really angry. Jeremy is good at >memorizing songs. One listen and kablam, he could almost sing the whole >thing back. He's good at playing by ear, figuring out the song if he knows >the tune. He has a voice that carries, albeit not that clear, and a small >appetite. Jeremy will always give to charity (so long as there's a contest >or something he can win) Jeremy may look at appearances first, but won't >judge upon that, and after getting to know people doesn't care. Jeremy >sucks at admitting he's wrong and will defend stupid and obviously >incorrect things for as long as possible. He can't write or sing worth a >hill of beans in this crazy town, but enjoys music. He tends to judge >people, not on appearance maybe, but on first impressions. Especially if >you answer 'no' to one of the Questions Three, or display bad attitude or >general meanness in front of him. He can get to know people, but that >first impression residue will always be there. He files away things he's >been wronged at for use at revenge later, and has an impeccable memory for >bad things people have done to him. Jeremy is vain, and never on time >because of it. If he thought he could get away with it, he'd wear makeup >to enhance his hazelicious eyes and full gorgeous eyelashes. At least some >blusher to elevate his perfect cheekbones, or lip gloss to bring out his >perfect mouth... He makes other people late, but most consider it just a >quirk. >In battle, Jeremy tends to take the offensive side. He's only got the one >attack anyway. At his best, Jeremy fights well. However, with the late >nights and constant bad choices, nine times out of ten Jeremy is not at his >best. At his worst, the best Jeremy can hope for is to take the wind out >of his opponent. Jeremy takes orders, but also calls his own shots when he >thinks what he's doing is the right thing. He'll stick to his guns like >tar on a dinosaur once he's made a decision, although the actual decision >making is pretty rare. He works on a team. Usually whatever a leader >decides to do he'll go along with. >The enemies haven't made a very good impression on him. Unless he's known >the enemy from before he knew they were an enemy, he'll hate them. His >allies are just another clique he can sidle into. Would that Jeremy had a >cause, he might go as far as death. Jeremy has no cause, he'll fight >because they tell him to. Jeremy might switch sides if someone gave him an >opinion opposite to his team, and he really truely believed in it. But >once he's bitten something, he won't let go. > >Appearance >Starting with Jeremy's infamous hair, the only way to describe it is >'hideous'. You'd think that with a hairdresser for a mother he'd have hair >genes, but no, Jeremy got stuck with this ugly matted messy junk. It's a >dead-rat-blonde-ish-brown color, with darker streaks of grease. It's >unforgivably matted, but Jeremy's too vain to have it cut off. He was >trying for a shag, but now it looks kind of like a palm tree. To hide this >punishment on humanity, he has a multitude of different colored tuques to >hide it. He pulls this tuque all the way down to his eyebrows with only >the innocent ends of his hair sticking out. Jeremy gets his understanding >mother to write him a note saying he needs to keep his head warm for >medical reasons, which is why he gets away with it during class. Jeremy >has lightning reflexes and can smack someone's hand away right before they >try to peel it off. So far, he's been sucessful. To most people, Jeremy's >hair is a complete mystery. >Jeremy's big syrup brown eyes are framed with blonde eyelashes underneath a >big forehead. They either look frustrated, confused, or happy, and >sometimes about to cry. When he cries they well up with huge obvious >tears, which is why, like anger, Jeremy avoids crying in public. His >eyebrows are darker than his hair, a chocolatey brown, and are arched in >surprise, not because he is surprised, but because that is actually their >shape, putting Jeremy in perpetual shock. >His nose is long and borders on Roman. Thin pink lips underneath smile >show no teeth. Jeremy tries hard not to open his mouth because he hates >his braces, which change color monthly. >Jeremy's skin, pocky, blotched and unshaven, has earned him the nickname >Ugly Boy. >His too-big head floats like a balloon over his round and hunched shoulders >from bad posture from keeping his hands in his pockets all the time. >Hanging limply from his shoulders are two scrawny sticks affectionately >known as 'arms'. He has long pianist's hands and fingernails with white >flecks in them, probably due to a zinc deficiancy. >His body is also thin and long and white. Jeremy barely ever tans. He >can't remember the last time he had a sunburn. He has an outie bellybutton >and doesn't mind displaying it. Jeremy also has the curious talent of >being able to wave his belly by sucking in the top and sucking out the >bottom, then reversing the position repeatedly. He once auditioned for his >school's variety night with this, and it was part of his several campaign >speeches. He has gross saggy thighs, not that he displays them ever, and >hairy legs. His knees are very bony as are his feet. Jeremy has a scar on >the back of his left leg from when he fell out of bed, and a thin one >around the top of his right and left thighs, from when a pin was left >sticking up in his mattress. Another scar hides under his hair and tuque >from being hit in the back of the head with a wooden swing. He's not the >most attractive person, what sells him is his wierd personality. > >Fuku >Starting with his head, Jeremy sports an old and dirty tiara type thing >that goes under his hair and is formed from small circles of metal hinged >side by side. Senshi form is the only time Jeremy does not wear a tuque, >and his disgusting hair has been replaced by gorgeous strawberry blonde >fuzzy longish in-your-eyes haircut that floats around his ears. He could >be a new person with this hairstyle. For his top, Jeremy wears an >off-white private school sweatervest with a soft cotton lining for >non-itchage. Over his arms are two pure white nearly glowing sleeves that >drape over his arms. They are not attatched to the sweatervest and bare >Jeremy's shoulders. Somehow they stay on. And why not? If we can have >magical Senshi powers, why not magical sleeves? Or magical stainless >jeans? Speaking of magical stainless jeans, Jeremy's got them. They are >also glowing white and repel stains. His shirt and sleeves can get all >muddy and bloodstained, but these pants will forever remain immaculate. >They are too long and tight for Jeremy, and the cuffs go down over the >heels of Jeremy's white-with-blue-stripes canvas runners. On each finger >is an antique tarnished ring with obscenely expensive and large gems coming >out of each one. Around his neck hangs an antiquey looking fat chain and >gold cross. > >Transformation >Jeremy shouts Cassiopeia Astra Morph! and with both hands holds his >Sovereign's Orb out in front of his body. The Orb is a gold sphere with >two jewel-encrusted bands equatoring around it, dividing the Orb into four >parts. Sticking out the top is a gold cross. (piccie available at >http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/amber/go336/jason/) After shouting his >henshin phrase, a gold disc of light starting at his feet moves up, and as >it passes over Jeremy's body reveals his fuku. When it reaches his chest, >it splits into three parts, two smaller discs separating from the main one >to pass over Jeremy's arms and ending in fancy rings on his hands. It >passes over his hair, changing the color and ends in his tiara over his >forehead. His finishing pose has his body facing to the side but his head >facing forward, one leg ahead of the other and one hand on his hip. He >gives a haughty I'm-better-than-you-nyah-nyah look. Then he gets a cool >challenge phrase. "By Divine Right we (that's the _royal_ we) are >Cassiopeia Kamen, reigning with absolute power. Do not undermine my >authority. We are not amused!"
