Jevaun Barrett

[Ohm]

Name: Jevaun Barrett
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Place of Residence: Kingston, Surrey, Jamaica
Language/s: English
Hobbies and Interests: Ska, jazz, graffiti art

Appearance: Jeavun stands at 5’8 in height and weighs 138 Ibs, giving him a lean frame. While he once was more muscular he is now a bit more skinny with a rectangular frame, though he still has slight muscle definition. Jevaun is ethnically of African descent, and his skin tone is a warm medium-brown. His right knee has a faded scar from a fall a year back.

Jevaun has an ovular face with sharp cheekbones and a weaker, rounded jaw. His eyes are almond shaped and dark brown, underneath thin eyebrows. His nose is a bit pointed and upturned with flared nostrils and his mouth is on the smaller side with average-sized lips. He has a good skincare routine but pimples still appear occasionally, and as of now he has a small patch of whiteheads on his right cheek. His hair is black and naturally kinky, and he keeps it in a short fade, while his facial hair is shaved regularly to keep himself clean shaven. He speaks in a slightly boyish voice that is prone to cracking.

His fashion sense involves quite a lot of bright, compatible or matching colors. He prefers graphics over patterns, but most of the time wears clothes with just a single color and no designs at all. Most days, he would wear at least one piece of jewelry. In his wardrobe, there are a lot of brightly colored belts and dyed jeans.

On abduction day Jevaun wore a dark blue t-shirt with a white one underneath with a higher neck hole, dark blue skinny ankle jeans with a lighter blue belt buckle, along with blue sneakers and a dark blue cap. Around his neck is a gold chain given to him by his brother.

Biography: Jevaun was born to Burgess and Jada Barrett. The second of two sons to the pair, the first being his brother Jaden born 2 years prior. Burgess worked in construction and Jada had worked as a clerk when the two got together before her first pregnancy.

Jevaun grew up close to his mother and brother, as Jada stayed at home to take care of them until Jaden was old enough that she felt comfortable enough to work again to supplement Burgess' income. As such, Jevaun grew up emulating and looking up to his brother, following wherever he went.

Having taken after his brother's example, Jevaun found himself popular with the student body due to a combination of his athletic ability and the ease that he got along with people. Often going out of his way to interact with others despite differences between him and some of his classmates.

Jevaun used to play football in his younger years, joining and being on the football team as he grew older, building a reputation for himself as a solid player on the defensive midfield and noted for his cool head during the game, but eventually grew bored of the sport as his interest in other ventures increased in return. Which became noted in his lacking performances before eventually quitting the team to focus on art and music.

This interest in art started when his parents took him and his brother to Fleet Street in Kingston, where the walls were decorated with tons of street graffiti. Whilst Jaden was disinterested and spent time fooling around. Jevaun was transfixed by what he saw and would frequently come down there as he got older to look at the art. He finds it a calming and relaxing sight, particularly when he’s stressed and makes trips to see it when he’s in need of inspiration for his own art.

When it comes to music, Jevaun listens primarily to old Ska and Reggae records. With the help of the internet Jevaun would look up different groups and use various websites to listen, alternating between Youtube or Spotifiy depending on whether the artist was available on the latter.

Jevaun’s grades fluctuate greatly depending on the subject. In classes that require the use of creativity and imagination, Jevaun’s teachers note that he has a knack for it, but once the subject changes to mathematics or the like, his mind wanders and his performance suffers as a result. Despite all this, his teachers have noted that he never seems stressed out during tests, even for subjects that he doesn't particularly enjoy and tends to do well as a result.

Over the years, Jevaun's friend group has changed drastically. Whilst originally surrounded mostly by fellow members of the team along with other sports minded students, once his interest in art and music became his focus, he'd see them less and less by the day. Instead he would find himself with other, more art focused students. Often discussing various pieces they've seen or created, techniques they use or everyday annoyances they have to deal with. Despite this over time change, Jevaun is still on good terms with his former teammates, and finds the occasional time to hang out when he's not busy with his art.

A year ago, Jevaun banged his knee up pretty bad, having tripped down a set of stairs. As a result, he wore a knee brace for several months as his right knee recovered. Unfortunatly, it now has mobility issues and he tends to put less weight on it due to this.

His relationship with his family is great for the most parts outside certain disagreements in regards to his future. His mother in particular wants him to get a stable job in a secure and lucrative field. Despite seeing his father less than his brother or mother, Jevaun looks up to the man for his dedication to work and often tries to impress him, a part of the reason he played football was his fathers interest in the sport.

Jevaun’s intentions once he’s done with school is to continue his artistic pursuits, though his parents both want him to get a stable job whilst pursuing a different line of education. His brother Jaden, on the other hand, is supportive of his brother’s pursuits and encourages him.

Advantages: Jevaun has an easy time getting along with other people, and finds it fun to interact with others, often going out of his way to do so. Jevaun has been noted to keep a calm head whilst under duress or during stressful situations.
Disadvantages: Jevaun due to his lean frame doesn’t convey a threatening presence, not helped by his looking weak jaw or the patch of whiteheads on his cheek. Jevau is severely out of practice when it comes to exerting himself physically, and despite this decrease in his athletics since he quit exercising regularly, he's still confident in his ability. He banged his right knee badly about a year ago that left a scar and is less mobile in it as a result compared to his other knee.

Will be doing the edits for your profile, Ohm. Check 'em out:

Jevaun is ethnically of african descent

African is a proper noun.

Burgess working in construction and Jada having worked as a clerk when the two got together before her first pregnancy.

Verb tense (worked/had worked)

Jada stayed at home to take care of them till Jaden was old enough

till is a bit too informal a spelling for the proper neutral/clinical tone of a profile, I'd say.

on the latter which many unfortunatly weren’t.

This clause is a bit redundant.

keep a calm head whilst under duress or during stressfull situations

stressful*

suffers from a weak jaw

I can't say I see how this constitutes a disadvantage given that 'weak jaw' in the context of Jevaun's profile refers merely to the visual shape of his jaw. And if that detail was intended otherwise you'd need to go into more detail about why his jaw is problematic in the context of island survival.

His athletic ability has declined in recent years and has grown rather rusty in that territory

And a lot of other children coming to island won't have any athletic ability at all. Maybe you can sell it as him having overconfidence in his athletic capacity due to his history but not realistically being able to back it up with how long he's been out of practice.

More general notes:

Please describe his modern friends groups, social obligations, so on, in light of his current set of hobbies and such. This is especially important to me given you using his social ability as an advantage but not contextualizing it in present day. The same goes for his cool head advantage- in the profile, the last time he got a chance to show this off was when he was still on a team. This could have changed in the interim since he's been out of the team long enough to physically decline, so I'd like to see more details to clarify/justify these points.

Likewise for his knee, it is only brought up in his Disadvantages section and I'd like it to also be included in his proper History section as an event, with some notes on how it affects him in his daily life, so on.

Feel free to PM or message on Discord if you have questions or clarifications!

Looks good to me. Accepted.
