  Despite initially briefly living in Germany, they returned to American soil just before the birth of their first son, Evan. They settled into an easy family life in Chicago not far from Miles' military base and two years later welcomed their second and third sons, Peter and Alex, fraternal twins. At that point, they assumed their family was very much complete. However, about seven years down the track following Peter and Alex, their mom thought she was going through menopause but her symptoms were proven to be an unplanned pregnancy and a new bundle of joy - their fourth son - named Jace was happily welcomed. Evan was the only son who was the spitting image of their dad. Peter, Alex and Jace both had Josefina's fair complexion and blonde hair. They all did have very distinct and different personalities, however. Evan was the promiscuous jock who came out as gay when he was around sixteen. He was so popular in high school, there were no real repercussions, especially considering his mom was the president of their local PFLAG chapter. Evan loved sports, loved partying, and loved sex, but was focused with his schoolwork once he decided he wanted to follow in his dad's footsteps and be a doctor. Peter was the studious and high-achieving bookwork who became an Accountant, happily married his high school sweetheart and gave their parents two healthy grandchildren, a boy called Clayton and a girl called Gemma. Alex was a friendly and kind-hearted hard-worker who married way too quickly and struggled to find himself for a few years when he called his sexuality to question after thinking he was straight. Jace was more the chilled, relaxed, free-spirited kind of kid and liked playing with dolls or dressing up as a princess or a fairy, joining ballet class, and dreaming of being a cheerleader or a ballet dancer (spurred on by their cousin, Logan, who wanted to be a professional dancer). His effeminate nature was obvious from a young age, and his family never tried to stifle it. Even his regimented military father embraced the fact he had two gay sons attending Pride parades and PFLAG events with his wife, and if anyone didn’t like it, they could fuck off (and with a threatened rifle up the ass… he was strict and also scarily protective of his family). Jace might have been unplanned, but he was never unwanted and as the baby of the family, he was doted on. With a military father and a traditional school teacher mother, their upbringing was somewhat regimented but loving. It meant they raised their children with good manners, values, and respect. However, still typical boys, nonetheless. It would be a tragedy that rocked their entire family when Jace was 9 years old and Alex in his last year of high school when Jace Jace was hit by a car. The driver was high on drugs and had alcohol in her system, she sped through a pedestrian crossing near the school when Jace was crossing the road with the right of way. He suffered multiple injuries, most of which eventually healed, but the brain injury was something that would come to impact on the rest of his - and his family's - life. It was impossible to tell what the long-term outcome would be for some time, but during his long stay in hospital where he missed over a year of school and ended up being homeschooled by his mother, he began to have these weird turns where he would seem to abruptly haze out on people, stare into space, seemingly catatonic. Doctors initially thought it was post-traumatic stress disorder, but Jace had no actual memory of the accident and he never would either. It turned out that Jace had a form of epilepsy caused by the brain injury. Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with Complex Partial Seizures which were unlike the general understanding of what a seizure is. He doesn’t convulse or shake, he just goes into a catatonic-like state, almost like sleep-walking. He is unconscious to his surroundings, and never remembers them once they happen. In the early stages, they were quite severe, and with Evan having a massive protective streak and soft spot for his little brother, he took a heavy blow seeing him so incapacitated. After the accident, Jace had some learning difficulties and struggled with his schooling. He never managed to pass high school and had to give up the physical things he loved like ballet, and he never had a chance of being a cheerleader because he was homeschooled for the rest of his school days. It did, however, draw out quite a creative talent in him, and he would draw ink designs all over everything, or sketch beautiful patterns with a simple medium like coloured pencils. It was what ultimately helped him strengthen his brain after the injury, but he wasn’t ever destined for college. When he was 18, he moved out of home to go live with Evan in New York, just to give him more options of figuring out what he wanted to do and how that balanced with what he could do. With the extremely close bond he and Evan had, he missed his big brother and wanted to be near him. Evan was more than happy to have Jace with him and took on the role as his primary carer. For his 19th birthday, Alex shouted him his first tattoo, and it was there they met Joanne Sinclair who was extremely impressed with Jace’s original design. That was how he came to decide he wanted to be a tattoo artist. Jace is now a fully qualified tattoo artist and works a few days a week with Jo at her own inking business. He found doing the job full time would exacerbate his epilepsy, even if it was controlled by medication, and it turned out the lighting in the parlour had a lot to do with it. He shortened his days and took a second job as a Design Assistant, working at Rian Ambrose’s label, Ambrosiere with her newest designer recruit, Austin Shaw. Joanne put him in touch with Rian when she saw that his illustrators gift for unique and often unusual patterns and illustrations could well be used elsewhere. Mostly, he just assists Rian with constructing her designs or being a sounding board for potential creations. But he also designs bespoke fabrics specifically to fit the designs. It’s a very calming job for him and it has kept his epilepsy the most controlled it has been for years. Jace is mostly a friendly guy with a child-like nature due to the developmental delays he had with his injuries, but he definitely had an inner bitch. He’s always well-groomed and presents himself well, with a pretty keen fetish for ink and leather. He loves wearing leather, he loves other people wearing it, especially hot guys in leather pants, and he loves tattoos. He was single for a long time, only ever managing to go on three dates, all of whom were freaked out by his brain injury and epilepsy once he revealed it to them, never being able to conceal it because it made him feel like he was lying. There was always the risk he could have seizures at any given moment or have bad days where his functioning was impeded and limited, frustrating and angering him sometimes. He had one guy call him a retard and others not wanting to sleep with him in case he had a seizure in the middle of it. It was a horrible blow for his ego and made him feel like he would never be loved. Evan protected him and took care of him, and they were definitely each other's best friend. Unlike Evan, Jace couldn't trawl gay bars for hook-ups because the strobe lights can trigger his condition. He was more of a coffee shop, park, and library kind of guy, if only for the people-watching and enjoyment of the New York culture. He didn't really know ‘what’ he was, but thought at least knowing ‘who’ he is was a good start. He has made some close friends in New York who don’t judge his condition and he knows he couldn’t live without his big brothers around to take care of him. Eventually, at the hospital Neurology Department one day waiting for a check-up appointment, Jace met Southern nurse, Jesse Hartley, who also had epilepsy, though a different form. They hit it off immediately with Jesse understanding exactly what struggles Jace faced being epileptic. Jesse was kind, sweet and beautiful, and eventually, he and Jace would end up each other's soul mates and married. ► dreamlikenewyork   Jace is an Original Character with no fandom affiliation.
