jerald oscar schlender 

— seventeen years old, however depending on the threads in which he's in, he can be as low as sixteen and up to nineteen years old. he was born on december thirteenth, making him a sagittarius
—  to plenty, he goes by jerry and strictly jerry. he was named after his grandfather as an honorary to the veteran but seeing as jerry isn't anything like him, or he doesn't feel like he's anything like him, jerald refuses to go by it or by it, especially in public, however when he goes and visits his grandfather at family events, he has to deal with being called being baby gerald and that 100x worse than just being called gerald within itself like bitch, he hates it.
— bisexual as bisexual oughta be though.

— jerry was born to iesha and lamar schlender. at the time, these two were separated due some "minor inconveniences", one in which was never explained to jerry even today, and for ten years of his life he was posted in hanau, germany where his grandfather happened to be stationed at the time. gerald "the first" tried to serve as an influential person in jerry's life but he never paid much attention more often than not, with preference to involve himself with technology than being the man that jerald wanted him to be.  the pressure only built as he got older and jerald retired. once they moved back to chicago, it was a whole new world for jerry, who'd never been to america in his life. as he reunited with his father who he only communicated through post cards and visits, and they managed to get a townhouse apartment, he went back to school where it seems that jerry got a real taste of what reality really was like. jerry became an easy target to bullying and as he'd never taken critique as great from his grandfather, it'd become even harder to face it to kids his age when all he wanted to be was liked. jerry tried to avoid tough crowds and by high school, began skipping out in classes. his mom, too busy working as a nurse with late night shift, and his father coming home exhausted from days as a cvs manager was too exhausted to notice the signs, and jerry knew little about his deteriorating mental health. he resumed to cutting for half his year and when his mother flipped out, the siutation didn't make things any worth as she flipped her shit and made him feel like it was him to blame. luckily, she did put him in psa counseling where he was finally able to get someone to listen. he escaped the toxic cutting behavior but instead resumes to popping his rubber bands on his wrist when he begins to feel upset or anxious. as jerry continues, he begins to slowly get better and turn back into the sunshine child he once was and continues to be but still suffers internally with himself and his confidence.

—  qt poototie sunshine boy
— suffers from dyslexia and adhd so sometimes he struggles with deciphering and reading words and you can only keep his attention for only a half a second before you lose it right away. many teachers complain over this and many even think that he's a lost cause because of the things he says out loud in spite of embarrassment when he's called out about not paying attention to them.
— my boy still trends out the silly bands and also collected bracelets that he's gotten from traveling or from everywhere. if anyone knows him for anything other than embarrassing himself, it's definitely for having plenty of cool bracelets. sometimes people even buy them
— he's addicted to technology. this means that it's also an issue in school and his main reasoning for having after school detentions. youtube is his favorite site as it resonates to plenty of dangerous stunts and tutorials in which he's watched and resulted to him making rockets out of pop bottles and setting them off during school as well as infamously making the whole school high by melting a whole bunch of permanent markers in the air conditioner resulting in a day off. literally, it was a high school.
— absolutely fucking terrified of heights. like, to get him to fly, his mother has to give him cough syrup so he passes out and he is way too scared to get on a roller coaster so he's never been on one.
— absolutely refuses to curse. if he says it by accident he will swear and make sure you know that is an accident. it doesn't feel right coming from his mouth he's such a goodie two shows as they say.
— who's easily manipulated by dogs? he is!
— though he hates cats. but that's not just because they're disgusting and uptight creatures according to him, but because he's allergic to them. once his grandfather's cat rubbed up against him and his whole leg swelled up causing him to have to go to the ER
— he knows how to do anything by a simple and basic tutorial. this also means he knows hot hack into even the school's system and change grades, change the website, etc. which he'd done before btw using the public library's system on someone else's account.
— when someone cool talks to him, he tries to remain casual but really he's super mega and extra excited.
— a meme doesn't have to be funny but he still will probably laugh
— you'd expect him to come in his counselor's office upset but this is how half of the entrance's happened. *rolls in on hoverboard with sunglasses and pineapple juice* "listen up bradley, i've got something to tell u"
— tries to stay hip so the cool kids like him but probably fails.
— the cute clapping thing he does
