General Appearance: Jay Downs stands at a respectable five foot and eleven point five inches. His medium set build is perfect for contact sports and other athletic activities that rely a tid bit more strength then speed. Generally he keeps his dirty blond hair parted roughly down the middle. His left ear pierced since he was young tends to go bare though from time to time he could be seen wearing a small silver stud or a mini-loop ear ring.
Polo shirts are his typical style though J.D. does have a few choice V-necked t-shirts that he tends to wear during the summer. For pant wear however its jeans; the only pair of shorts that he does own are either for gym or the pool. All of Jay's socks are grey as to compromise n the whole white or black sock debate. As for shoes he tends to stick to a pair until its time to replace them.
Personality: Jay Downs at first glance is a very rational and logical thinker how ever he can make you go for a double take when he surprises everyone by suddenly becoming spontaneous and enthusiastic. This sets him apart from others due to the lack of clearly outlined personality traits from the get go and even those that know J.D. may not be able to anticipate his reaction to something.
This stems from Jay's unusual combination of the thinking and perceiving personality traits. Jay can be very calm and rational for a long time, however his inner spontaneity does not go anywhere. It simply stays packed away hidden, gathering energy and awaiting the right moment to release it at once. Much like a jack in the box, it is that release that often times surprises those around Jay, specially if they have not seen this kind of activity from J.D. before.
Jay is a relatively private individual which makes it even ore difficult for other people to tell what is happening in the inner working Jays mind. He can become exceedingly stubborn and vocal when his principles and habits are criticized.

History
Jay was born in the town of Lake Havasue, Arizona. He would be the first born of his family. His birth would be out of wedlock to a man named Jeff Downs along with younger brother after a year, it would be another year before his mother would move back to her home town of Troy, Kansas. Living with their grandfather and mother it would be a few more years before Jay and his brother Jakob end up being the ring bearers for her first marriage. He would end up moving again with this marriage to St. Joseph, Missouri.
For a few more years he would live in the small city area, learning to ride a bike, roller blade, and other sorts of kiddy activities. Even at a young age he would blade around pulling one eighties and even skating backwards. Jay would have his first run in with the authorities. Taking him and his brother to his Grandma’s place in Fanning, Kansas; it would only be a misconception of the time that it took by car and the time it would take by bike, luckily they would end up getting pulled over at a nearby taco bell and taken back to their parents house. His half sister Josiah would be born within the large white house in the city.
A little while again they would move to Chicago. There Jay would learn how to stitch and sow by and by his mothers tutelage, visit the children's museum, and live through a tornado that had spawned up in the area. It would only be about eight months before David's contracting job was up and it move the family back to Troy, Kansas. His life seemed almost rushed as after a year of his sister’s birth his mother would have another boy making him the eldest of four. His youngest brother would be born on a Sunday at home and would be the youngest person to attend church that day. It was not a true shock that within the year his family would move to Manila, Philippines as part of a missionary service. During a overnight layover in japan the lad would sleep through a minute earthquake within the area.
Jay would be eight by this time and would be attending Faith Academy, during his time as a missionary kid. He would take up Soccer during his lunch periods though he would be labeled a delinquent with anger issues, due to his time at a third grader choking out a fifth grader for getting hit in the face by a soccer ball. To help control and to channel his anger he would be forced to see the schools counselor. It would also be here that he would discover balute, each egg twenty-five peso’s an egg. He would spend the better of five years attending school and playing pretend with friends and family.
Now in the Philippines there are two seasons, Hot and then Hot-n-rainy with the rains coming from the seasonal Typhoons. Jay also got to go to Corrigador, the second most bombed Island in the world and a historic part of world war two, a total of five different times during his stay. His Tagalog becoming a broken part of his verbal communication.
When Jay and his family moved back his parents, David and Jen, would divorce. His father would move back to the Philippines while the rest of his family moved to Highland, Kansas. This is where Jay would discover American football after being tricked by his mother into going to the “football” practice. He would not mind that though and he would qualify for not only the defensive left tackle but also the kicker. It would be on the field that Jays abilities would reveal itself to those around him.
Each hit he would take out on the field would be softened by the drain of his opponents kinetic energy on impact. His coach not realizing it as a Mutated ability but as talent would move Jay to fullback. All the while those trying to tackle Jay would end up getting knocked away as their kinetic energy would be absorbed then released back against them on impact. It made Jay untouchable out on the field. Not even Jay knew what was happening or why but still he would play and his coach would give him the ball more and more often as the season progressed. Come halfway through the season highlights of his exploits would be set to the news and it was not that much longer that his mother would get a call from the Hammel Institute.
That call would set him off to the private school, where his true story would begin.
Roleplay Example
Note: This is from my character on BR, were my play by is Andre the Giant.....
Frezzik heard the sounds of the wolf as he walked the streets of the market but that would not attract him nor distract him as he moved through the crowd. Head and shoulders above anyone else around he would continue on his stroll. That would be when he heard it a scream. The scream of a D.I.D., other words known as a damsel in distress. He would be moving now pushing and throwing his weight cautiously through the crowd on his way to were he though he had heard the scream.
Finding himself at the entry way of the occupied alley way his eyes would gaze at the scene in front of him. The blood staining the skin of the maiden that he could only assume had made the distress call. The body in her arms who's life was undoubtedly extinguished. The presence of the other male. His brain quickly coming up with the story behind what had happend, of a wolf attack and the poor woman who had discovered the bloody mess, who had screamed in utter shock as she had thrown her body over the bloodied carcass. The other male without a doubt had shown up to investigate as Frezzik had.
At seven foot four and just over thirty seven stone he was no ordinary human. True he was just a local farmer here and now but in a past time, things had been different, though curtain things would have staid the same. His strength for one, his muscles were twice as dense then almost any other human and coupled with his size granted him what most would deem inhumanly possible. Making him a feast that one would have to fight for, yet not having heard the words that had been exchanged between them Frezzik knew not of the danger he had walk into.
His tunic and trousers marked him as common yet he would speak in that gruff voice of his that was a fusion between his size and maturity," Lady, are you ok? Do you need any assistance?"
His brown bushy hair giving his appearance a rough look though his brown eyes were full of sincerity.
