Jiro Lawson

In Character

Physical Description

Jiro's outgoing, bouncy nature translates to his clothing. Bright t-shirts, designer jeans, scarves, loud gloves, clunky boots, and mixmatched jackets are commonplace in his wardrobe. His loud personality makes it work into one brightly colored, but coordinated, mess.

Jiro's skin is much lighter than his brother Taro's, but matches much better to his eldest brother's, Haruko. He has few blemishes, but a few moles and freckles. His only really distinguishing mark is on the small of his back. When he was a prostitute, a man paid for his services, and the preceeded to rape him, branding his back with a hot iron, a circle surrounding a scorpion. The Scorpion Rapist.

Jiro's overall appearance is a little messy. He generally doesn't do much formal wear unless he must, and his hair tends towards the long, shaggy side, much like his two brothers.

Perceptions

Jiro's self-perception can be a little harsh, as he, and his brothers, have seen the pits of life. Jiro sometimes goes back to those memories and remembers what a horrid person he was, and how much he used to hate himself. However, he has become of a better opinion of himself, and likes to be himself now.

Other's perception of Jiro tends to be that he is very happy-go-lucky, sweet and tends to know what he wants out of life.

Backstory

Born of slightly mentally unstable parents, Jiro often bore the brunt of his father's angers and depressions. Often beaten as a young child, he barely remembers the experiences. At eleven, his brother, Taro took him from home and they ran away from their broken home and Taro took up with a man named Gregory Andler who began to teach them about pickpocketing. Jiro, who his brother often referred to as a human sponge, took up the information with extreme fervor, and could put it into action not long after hearing it. Jiro had always been a fast learner.

When Jiro was fourteen, he was caught during a job by a wealthy businessman who called for his imprisonment. Taro could do nothing about it, and Gregory was never seen by them again. Jiro was hauled off to juvenile detention, which was only a wing over from the murderers and other such lowlives, the Deep End, as it was referred to in the prison.

Juvie, the Kiddy Pool, proved to be harsher than Jiro had originally considered. However, a month after arriving, Jiro was coupled with a cellmate, Ren Wilcox, who was being thrown in juvie for an assault charge that didn't hold much water. Soon after, Jiro and Ren began a whirlwind love affair that extended farther out than their cell sentances.

A whirlwind romance with his cellmate lead to a neverending affection.

Two years later, soon after Jiro's sixteenth his brother bailed him and his cellmate out with money he had recieved from a job Taro would not specify. Jiro and Ren rented an apartment and lived together for several months, during which time, Jiro fell into prostitution to make money. He worked at a small house near the ISLAM District, walking and dancing, also doing personal jobs.

Only a few short months after they started living together, Jiro and Ren's relationship culminated in a bitter split, but neither man could bear to lose contact. They stayed in close touch.

Not long following, Jiro was on his way to rejoin with his brother when he encountered a woman, Jesimae Phoenix, in need of help. He assissted her and brought her back to stay with he and his brother. Taro and Jesimae soon found love right under Jiro's nose.

A tad discouraged by the fact that his brother found it in a complete stranger, Jiro used his happy-go-lucky nature to put on a front.

Soon following the incident involving a man named Decallion, Jiro, Jesimae, and Taro left Coruscant for Naboo following the supicion that Jesimae's suposedly deas brother was actually alive. Naboo proved to be strange in many areas for Jiro. When he arrived, he met Jesimae's brother, and his wife Mei-li, and daugher, Hana. Mei-li and Jiro immediately felt a spark, and their flirting eventually got them in deep trouble. Jabari ended up almost killing all of them, before Taro was able to kill him.

Jiro was repaired however, and they left Naboo, leaving with Hana and Mei-li. On the way, they stopped to get their ship looked over and Jiro met Orange Diren, a spunky, red-headed mechanic, with personality and body in all the right places. Jiro was immediately enamored. However, the love was too much, too quickly. They consummated their relationship only days after knowing one another.

She went back with them to Coruscant, where not a moment was had of peace. Soon after arriving, their were attacked by a fugitive, Aiden Glen and his animal lackey, Mr. Lawson. Fleeing, Aiden left behind Mr. Lawson, who, when not angry, turned into the mild-mannered Haruko Lawson, their older brother.

Jiro and Orange began having problems in their relationship, Orange having issues with Jiro's past and the way Jiro was. However, amidst their domestic issues, they were all called to Tattooine where their father was dying of SDS. Jiro lost it on Tattooine with his brother and it culminated in a fight, that stressed Jiro and Orange's relationship even more.

After their father's untimely death, and the meeting of a healer, Asher Perez, Jiro, Taro, Haruko, Orange, Jesimae, Asher and her little brother returned to Coruscant. Soon after Jesimae and Taro wed, and left on a trip Jiro knew little to nothing about.

Jiro and Orange broke up for a short time and Jiro took up with a man named Alexander Mirit, a hypnotizing man with emotional baggage. He and Jiro moved in together for a short time, but their initial torrid affair soon drew to a close, as Alexander did not have the stability Jiro craved for--stability like he found with Ren.

Jiro and Orange soon got back together.

However, only months later, Jiro knew his and Orange's relationship was coming to an end. He took his girlfriend on a trip back to Naboo about a year later to maybe save it. However, after an impromptu meeting and kiss with Mei-li Jiro came back to the room to find Orange wrapped around another man. He ended their relationship then. Orange broke his heart in a way no one had. He will never forgive her.

Soon after, he and Ren came back together and began dating again, and were called to a colony near Coruscant where Jesimae had found out and told Jiro she was pregnant. Panicked, Jiro got their as fast as he could, only to find that, as Lawson Luck goes, only more trouble was in store.
