Jared isn't technically shy, but he does like to be by himself. He calls and sees himself as a rebel, doing this against the grain because he hates to conform. Almost self-centered at times, he takes care of himself first before thinking of helping others. Survival of the fittest is how he takes life. Tragic things that bother most people don't bother him, and it some aspects, excites him. He doesn't particularly get along with other people that well.
Likes/Dislikes:
Likes to smoke, almost a pack a day. Drive fast cars, be by himself, draw in his sketch book, listen to classic rock, and skateboard.
Dislikes annoying airheads, responsibilities, group work, and situations that make him feel vulnerable.
When the plane crashed, he managed to save his carry on baggage. In side the luggage was one new pack of Camels cigarettes, a pair of sunglasses, his sketch book /pens (which were soaking wet because of the water), and some clothes.
Jared lived in Australia his entire life, and this trip to New York was going to be an escape from that life. Not that he didn't like Australia, but he hated his family. They were wealthy white collar parents who never were around the home. Having been the only child, he was always alone but he got used to that and grew to like the solitude. Not having the best social skills, his sarcastic rebel attitude tends to keep people away from him. New York seemed to be his dream city, where he believed there would be more people like him there. His parents gave him some cash, the only thing he is ever really thankful to get from them, and let him go.
