Jude has major OCD. Given his history, he can't stand to see a single thing out of place. This makes life a little challenging, but his boss at the Mighty Bean probably loves it. Jude also has a bit of a smoking habit. Maybe it relaxes him from his constant OCD. He's not quite sure why he does it, but he definitely isn't stopping anytime soon.
|Talents(T) | Strengths(ST) | Skills(SK) |
⚘Strength⚘ Jude is a very skilled writer. Not only that, but he has a strong desire to communicate with others. This definitely gives him an advantage in his social life.
Flaws/Weakness|
⚘Weakness⚘ Jude has a pale scar along his left shoulder blade. This combined with a slight social awkwardness when it comes to talking to girls sets him at a small disadvantage. Unless girls dig guys with scars.
|Hobbies|
Jude spends a lot of time writing, reading, cleaning, and spending time in social areas.
|Fears|
øFearø Jude is afraid of being alone. He could never live without roommates. If he comes home to an empty apartment, he might enjoy an hour or two by himself, but then he starts to get worried and calls someone to see if they're around. That, or he'll just go to someone else's apartment and see if they'll let him hang out.
|Secrets|
✤In all his life, Jude has never had a girlfriend. He would never tell the guys about this.✤
✤Sometimes he gets in moods where he likes to write some poetry.✤
✤He once got drunk and slept with another guy.✤
|Goals/Dreams|
Jude hopes that one day his writing will be published. Until then, he's taking writing courses at the local college to strengthen his writing skills. He also hopes that, one day, he'll be able to afford a comfy home somewhere.

Jude likes to talk. He's very outgoing and won't hesitate to start a conversation with anyone. Well, unless he's trying to talk to a girl he's interested in. Then he has no clue what to say. He enjoys going out dancing and hanging out with the others in the other apartments. A little bit of "liquid courage" might convince him to act a little silly. According to Jude, a challenge should almost never be turned down. He might be awkward when it comes to talking to girls, but if another guy tells him he wouldn't do it, then he's definitely going to do it. The same goes for sports and plenty of other ridiculous things.
At the local college, Jude enjoys his writing classes. He enrolled himself in them thinking that maybe he could gain a few pointers on being a better writer, but it only feels like he's there to show off his writing talent so far. It doesn't matter though because he enjoys sharing his papers with his classmates and talking to his professor about it.
Though Jude likes challenges, his mother gave him the greatest one of all when he was a young boy. "Be polite and use your manners no matter what." All his life, he's held doors open for girls, never forgotten to say "Please" or "Thank you," and other old-fashioned expectations of young males. He doesn't mind it since it often rewards him with smiles and pleased faces.

|Happiest Memory|
Jude's happiest memory was telling his mother what he really wanted to do with his life and deciding to move out. Instead of a dramatic and upsetting scene, his parents took it reasonably and helped him find the apartment he is currently staying at.
|Saddest Memory|
Jude's saddest memory was the day his oldest brother moved out. His parents made a huge deal out of it and told him and his siblings that they weren't allowed to talk to him. Jude didn't understand why they were acting that way and it scared him. He had wondered if his brother would be okay.
{[center]"QUOTE". }
Jude grew up with other people constantly around him. The only time he can remember a quiet day at home was a sick day home from school. Their mother did most of the cooking and cleaning. She was also in charge of forcing the kids to do their homework and keep up good grades in school. With so many kids, it was hard to keep the house clean. If one thing got out of place, that whole room was falling apart because it wouldn't be long before his siblings spread the rest of their stuff everywhere else too. Jude assumes this is where he gets his OCD from. He always desired to get out and get his own place so he didn't have to deal with filth everyday. It was incredibly frustrating.
When he was a teenager in high school, his dad put a lot of pressure on him to learn what it takes to be a smart business man. This also bothered his two older brothers. They wanted to be boys and play fight all the time. Their father wanted them to sit down and talk politics and other things that they found boring. During this time, Jude spent a lot of time writing. It was sort of an escape for him. Since his brothers weren't too much older than him, they would all find ways of getting out of the house together. From there, they would get split up and do whatever they did.
When Jude hit 18, his oldest brother tried to convince him to move out with him. He said that they would get their own apartment, split the rent, and not have to deal with the pressure of being at home anymore. While the offer was tempting, Jude knew better. The oldest brother moved out by himself. An huge argument with their parents was what prompted it. Their father proclaimed that the oldest brother did not care enough about the family to take up the business, so they were not to contact him. Of course, Jude still talked to his brother. His second oldest brother found himself interested in running the business and pleased their father by going to school and studying what he needed in order to keep things running. By this point, Jude had found that writing was his passion. He started out by telling his mother that he was interested in writing. She took it well. He didn't know why, but she and his father were very nice about it and offered to help him find an apartment closer to the college. From there, Jude got himself a job at the Mighty Bean and has enjoyed living there since.
