~~Family and History Information~~
Father: Caspian Thane Hyers, around 41 years old. Although he was very much in his older kids’ lives, he simply dropped out of Jamie’s.. Jamie, unlike his two older brothers, wasn’t planned. It tore the family apart for a while, since Caspian was convinced that Jamie couldn’t be his. The drama ended, at least for a while, when they took a DNA test to prove he was Caspian’s… but even after that DNA test, Caspian seemed to continue practically ignoring Jamie.
When Jamie was four, Caspian left hi and his mother, taking the two older kids with him. It wasn’t until later that his mother figured out that he left because he had a second family that he took better care of, loved. Since he left, he’s had no contact with either his ex-wife or his son.
In general, Caspian was a hot head after Jamie came- He felt that Alice must have had another man in her life, and his temper worsened and worsened until he up and left. Before Jamie was born, he was very light hearted, loving, and a positive role model. The unplanned aspect of Jamie’s sudden birth is what, according to many, broke the camel’s back, that it pushed Caspian over the cliff.
Caspian is around 6 feet tall, a rather bulky build in general. He has the same jet black hair as Jamie, though Jamie doesn’t remember that. His eyes were a normal shade of brown.

Mother: Alice Maria Hyers, 40 years old. Although she was very accepting of having three children, regardless if unplanned, Caspian wasn’t. He got pretty verbal with her, blaming the entire thing on her, and that she was going to ruin everything. Her confidence seemed to fade more and more as he continued to berate her over the entire situation. However, once Jamie was born, she found herself unable to give him away, which was a deal she made with Caspian.
When Caspian was told that she didn’t put Jamie up for adoption, things got pretty sour. Once Caspian left when Jamie was four, she never heard from him again--Though her friends told her about this second family. It broke her for a while- Her friends had to take in Jamie while his mother struggled so badly. She fell in a deep depression, so Jamie was often confused and crying for her.
After a while, Jamie was the one who motivated her to live life again-- She always calls him her little angel, her stone in stormy times.
In general, Alice is relatively quiet, often in a daze when on her own- She’s a bit detached from the world, a trait that Jamie semi-caught onto as he got older. She’s a short little gal, being only 5’ tall, a little chubby in build. She has her dark brown hair that reaches her mid back, often braided. Her eyes are the blue-grey shade that Jamie, against the odds, inherited.

Older brother:Caspar Jonathan Hyers, 24 years old. Casper had little to nothing to do with Jamie, mainly due to the rather large age gap- Casper is eight years older than Jamie. Casper pretty much ignored Jamie from the get go- He didn’t want another sibling to begin with, let alone another brother. When he heard that his father, and the brother he claimed, were moving, he was pretty much jumping for joy. He was around twelve years old at the time they left, Jamie only four. Much like his father, Casper has cut contact with his “old, boring, useless family”, where he has three other children to claim as siblings, despite originally not wanting extra siblings at all. Casper simply ignores the fact he had a family before, and seems to be trying to forget it completely.
Casper takes after his father in looks- Tall, somewhat blocky and stiff build, brown-black hair and dark brown eyes. Currently, he’s in college, planning to find a well-paying, boosting career afterwards. At first he thought of a veterinarian, then a doctor, and is now just jumping through ideas as they come his way. Either way, he wants to make it to the top of the food chain, and fast.
Although he was technically unplanned, things set up without a hitch. They knew she had a chance of getting pregnant after they fooled around a few times, so it wasn’t really a shock… Unlike Jamie.


Older brother: Victor Gregory Hyers, 22 years old. While young, Victor adored the living hell out of Jamie- Someone around his age to play with… Sort of. Victor was already six years old by the time Jamie was born, but Victor loved taking care of him whenever he could- Bottle feeding, changing diapers, singing lullabies, reading stories. Things were relatively peaceful between the two brothers, up until Victor was around nine years old when things started to change. He, like his brother and father, began to resent the family they currently had. Victor started to ignore Jamie around this time, about a year before the three left the lives of Jamie and Alice. Once he reached ten, Casper twelve and Jamie four, they left.
However, after two years of no contact, they received a letter from Victor. It wasn’t very long or sweet, but it did feel Jamie feel a little better- It also had a good amount of cash hidden within. Victor doesn’t really try to forget them, or pretend they don’t exist, he just simply doesn’t bring up the topic or mention them at all.
Victor took after his mother, for the most part. He is relatively short for his age, and slender in build. He also inherited her dark brown hair, but inherited his father’s eyes-- Another reason why Caspian was convinced that Jamie wasn’t his- Jamie was the only one to inherit his mother’s eye color.
There is very, very little contact from Victor, and so Alice and Jamie often feel left out and abandoned… and yet, Jamie doesn’t really remember any fond memories of anyone else but Alice.



~School Information~~
School name: Salem High
Year:: Sophomore
Grades: They were usually A’s and B’s, but as of late, they’re dropping down to B’s and C’s.
Notes:: Jamie hasn’t lived in Salem his whole life, he only moved in about six months ago. Before they moved, he was plenty bullied into the quiet, submissive boy that one knows. The slipping of grades is mainly from the older school that somewhat carried on in Salem.

~Misc~
--He has moved around about five times now, since he was six years old
--He tends to be a loner, fearful of getting targeted and bullied again
--Smoking calms him down, but he’s not super addicted either
--He prefers the quiet, since the loud noises remind him of the times he was ganged up on.
--His favorite colors are purple and silver
--He doesn’t really remember his brothers and father, so he isn’t as torn up about it as his mother.
--Sweet tea is his coffee, most of the time.
--He’s scared of bigger people, taller people, and big dogs… They make him feel powerless and that he’s about to get hurt.
--He’s a little bit socially awkward due to the abuse he has suffered throughout the ages, usually once someone finds out he’s gay, or when they think he doesn’t fit in.
