Jeremy James Nerdman (a.k.a. Jerbear, J Dawg,)

Character Overview

Jeremy James Nerdman is a 29-year-old man with a passion for Voice Acting and Roleplaying. He has spent the majority of his life under the watchful eye of his mother Matilda Nerdman. She has been protective of Jeremy ever since his diagnosis with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 7. She has even gone so far as to hire a personal guard for him by the name of Blaude Antir to ensure his safety. At the age of 29 Jeremy's father James Nerdman reached out to Jeremy through a family friend and invited him to visit his place down in Los Santos .

Having never known his father other than by the occasional story, Jeremy decided he would attempt to sneak out and meet him. Upon arriving in Los Santos, Jeremy was a bit shaken by the great disparity between the calm openness of the sandy shore/grapeseed area and the bustling city of Los Santos. He spent his first day just talking to his father and getting to know him. After a few more visits across the next couple of months, Jeremy decided that he wanted to take some advice from his father and "Find his own path". Jeremy had always loved playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games and making voices for all of the different characters. As he wandered the streets of Los Santos on his first day making those crazy voices of his... people took notice.

Jeremy is many things though a fool is not one of them, He is often mistaken for such as he has a tendency to be gullible, naive, and easily confused. This is a misconception though, Jeremy is an observer and wishes to understand what makes others behave the way that they do. This has ultimately led Jeremy into the profession of Journalism, he has been taught the basics by Dillon Dubbs, Head of Entertainment at LSBN. Jeremy uses those skills to occasionally capture a news story as he is pursuing the creation of his Vocal Arts Studio.

Early Life

Jeremy was born to Matilda Nerdman and James Nerdman on September 03, 1991. They started as most families do, happy, healthy, and loving. His parents gave him all of their love and attention but they had a business to think about and James wasn't willing to give it up. They decided it was best for James to go and run the business down in Los Santos while Jeremy and his mother stayed in Sandy Shore. Matilda stepped down as leader of The Good Dragons and devoted herself to raising Jeremy right, away from crime.

Jeremy had an average childhood until the age of 7 when he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Matilda grew a fear for Jeremy and his well-being. A bodyguard was hired for Jeremy to keep a distanced eye on him, Blaude Antir, the no-nonsense mercenary was a retired Good Dragons assassin with a knack for details. Blaude kept a close eye on Jeremy, keeping him from most harm until his teenage years. Jeremy was put into a private school to allow both Blaude and Matilda to be with him throughout the school day. other children occasionally teased him for having his mother with him though he never seemed to mind their heckling. Jeremy was always able to take their abuse with a smile and even learned to navigate around it.

Adolescent Life

During his adolescent years, Jeremy would use the skills he picked up in grade school to navigate the treacherous landscape of Highschool. Jeremy learned to apply his knowledge of social navigation to physical. He would weave carefully around the other children to avoid provoking them. Jeremy simply carried on avoiding confrontation and spending his time with what few friends he had made. They spent all of their time outside of school playing Tabletop RPGs and LARPing, enjoying life to its fullest. He maintained this routine until his graduation, which he did not attend. Jeremy was busy leading the party through a particularly nasty encounter with a pack of goblins and they had forgotten the time.

With high school completed Jeremy was free to continue running sessions for his friends on into the night and every day. This carried on for a while though the inevitable need to progress in life spurred them to meet more infrequently. His friends acquired jobs in the neighboring city of Los Santos while Jeremy was kept to the Sandy Shore area by request of his mother. For now, he would see his friends only once per week and that is how it would stay for some time.

Adult Life

Jeremy picked up odd jobs here and there for family friends and made enough money to continue his habit of playing Tabletop games with his friends. It was over a decade that Jeremy maintained this routine of working and playing until at the age of 29 something happened. Jeremy's father reached out to him through one of the family friends and asked if he would come to visit him in Los Santos. Jeremy had never known much of his father other than stories told by his mother and the occasional picture. Jeremy had always wanted to meet him and so he devised a plan to visit. He went to visit his friends as per usual though this time he took a small detour to visit his father. During the visits with his friends, Blaude often stayed home to watch the property.

Jeremy had never truly been in the city before as his friends lived on the outskirts of town. He was awestruck by the bustling city and how drastically different it was to his home in Sandy Shore. The first day that Jeremy visited his father they spent the entire day getting to know one another and catching up on what had happened over the last 22 years. James explained why he had to leave and remain separated from them and also, why he reached out. Matilda had reinstated herself as the leader of the Good Dragons once more yet wished for Jeremy to be kept out of it. James thought that this was not fair to him and decided to tell him exactly what kind of life he was on the edge of.

Jeremy took this information with an eerie calm that unnerved James. Jeremy explained the things he had seen growing up and also that Matilda had never really stepped down. Jeremy was a clever kid and often saw things that others had no clue of. Jeremy apologized for not coming to see James sooner but he did not know where he was until his message came through. They shared a moment and continued on telling stories and growing a friendship. As the visits carried on Jeremy started splitting the time between running his games and visiting his father.

After a while Jeremy decided to take some of his father's advice and "find his own path". He considered his skills, thinking hard about his love for roleplaying and making voices. He would always be rehearsing for his upcoming sessions as he walked to his father's house and people had started to take notice of the young man with a strange voice. Jeremy saw an advertisement from the Head of Entertainment at LSBN, Dillon Dubbs. Jeremy established a meeting with Mr. Dubbs by tailing one of the news vans to the bank near the vinewood hills. Jeremy was told to meet him at the LSBN building down near little seoul. once there, Mr. Dubbs put Jeremy through a screen test on the way to a bank robbery. Jeremy gave his all to the test introducing Mr. Dubbs to a number of his characters that he had used in his roleplaying sessions.

Mr. Dubbs was impressed by his vocal talents and decided to add his name to a roster of talent that he would call upon when work was available.
