Jeremy Phillips (Twice the trouble and... kind of a big deal)

Character Name: Jeremy Phillips

Age: Appears to be 18, but is actually 30.

Appearance:




Species: Werewolf

Sexuality:
Claims heterosexuality, but in truth, he's just never thought much about it. He's a guy, so he should be interested in girls, right? Doesn't mean he hasn't confused himself when he finds himself catching a few glimpses of an attractive male every now and then.

Personality:
Being the oldest by a few minutes, he'd always put it upon himself to be the more mature of the two for the sake of their parents. However, his "action first, think later" approach to most challenges meant that his maturity only got him in slightly less trouble than his twin did. He'll bicker and fight with Joey, perhaps even more so than normal brothers because of their countless similarities, but the two of them are as close as twins can get. In other words, he's also protective as fuck. Only he can mess with his brother unless you want to find yourself with a raging ball of hormones kicking your ass into next Tuesday.

Background:
As a young child, Jeremy grew up in a relatively happy family of four with his brother and his parents. Unfortunately, that picture perfect family didn't last long after his father discovered his mother's unfaithfulness. Their family was split up when Jeremy and Joey were five years old, and the former spent the rest of his childhood years with his single father. As per the custody agreement, the two boys were not able to see each other since Jeremy and his father lost ownership of the house in court and they moved instead to a completely different city. At times, Jeremy could swear that he felt emotions that weren't his own. He missed his brother dearly, but he never gave these strange feelings much thought until one of his classmates brought up the theory of twin empathy. Of course, he outwardly brushed the suggestion off as a stupid crackpot theory, but it actually did give him some form of comfort if he really could feel his brother's happiness, and even his pain so clearly. He knew he wasn't alone.

Their eighteenth birthday was something that he nor Joey would ever forget. Now legally adults, Jeremy was overjoyed at the thought that he'd be able to see his brother again without their parents butting in to stop them. They'd made plans and everything over the phone so that they could get enough time to get reacquainted like the old days. Heck, Jeremy left his house early so that he'd surprise the other by being on time. Unfortunately, the sight that greeted him when he got to their meeting place wasn't exactly how he'd wanted their reunion to go.

Half of Joey's torso in the mouth of a wolf with other nasty looking lacerations on his leg, any other human probably would've run instead of what happened next. Picking up whatever he could find, Jeremy charged at the wolf with a rusted pipe and managed to knock the huge beast over with a fierce cry. Though stunned, the werewolf did not take long to recover as it counter-attacked by latching on to Jeremy's shoulder, and then going in for the kill by lunging for his throat. As they say, the rest is history because he and Joey were still alive, albeit a little less human than they would've liked.

Anything else you want to add: Almost immediately after they both regained consciousness, he and Joey realized that their mental connection had grown and strengthened tenfold. No matter how far away they were from each other, they could tell exactly what the other was feeling and could even communicate telepathically at will.
