When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair: Black
Height and Weight: 5'10 160
Other Distinguishing Features: A black with white fur trim coat that he always wears.
Overall Appearance:
The state has dark, slightly fluffy, black hair and bright red eyes that tend to make him look a tad unusual. He stands at an average height of five foot ten and weighs one hundred and sixty pounds even. He's fairly pale despite how much he's outside, and somehow usually manages to avoid sun-burn. Jay usually wears almost all black all the time. Really the only color and style pants he owns are black jeans, some of them have holes but most do not. He almost always wears his jacket unless it's too hot for it out, but instead switches to an assortment of dark colored t-shirts he owns. In the winter he wears long sleeves under his jacket in mostly dark colors as well.

Overall Personality:
Jay is a very blunt state to the point where many will just consider him brutally honest. This is often the cause of him saying something without thinking about it first and sometimes he ends up regretting it later. It causes him to feel like a screw up often seeing as his friends would end up mad at him, and it could take them a long time to forgive him. The honesty is something he should really try to control, but he never does despite the fact that it causes quite a few mishaps, but then again so does his flirting. Another thing he can't help but do is to flirt with most everyone. It's just a habit of his now and he quite enjoys the reactions he gets from it. Mostly they just amuse him and it's as if he likes playing with people somewhat.
Between the flirting and the brutal honesty though, he's not really that good at relationships. He's just never sure what to do with them or where to go with them. The state prefers to casually sleep around with no strings attached because he's afraid he'll screw up and end up with both of them hurt. Thus he is a bit spontaneous and wants to go and do what he wants when he wants. He also tends to like things to go his way, and when he loses games or fights he tends to not take it well and instead pouts for a while about it. He's also quite the curious person and ends up poking his nose where it doesn't belong often enough. It's part of his habit to act slightly like his cats seeing as they like to get into everything all the time. When it's just him and the cats he tends to have conversations with them which, while slightly crazy, he rather enjoys their company.

I'm the hero!
[li]1000 - Lenape/Delaware Indians settle the area and Jersey pops into existence. He stays with them a while, but is usually found to be odd seeing as he's a child who isn't aging properly.
[/li][li]Most of his time is currently spent jumping from family group to family group learning how to survive and such along with the language they speak. He really doesn't understand what he is, or why he doesn't age, so he feels kind of like an outcast.
[/li][li]1524 - Giovanni de Verrazzano explored his coast after sailing under the French flag. He was curious about the different people and the different language they spoke, but he didn't investigate too much. Though he did hear the name New Netherlands mentioned, but he had no idea what exactly it meant.
[/li][li]1611 - 1614 - Some of his land was surveyed and he followed around the surveyors to listen to them talk even though he really had no idea what they were saying. It was interesting to see some people different from the typical tribes in the area, and he is quite curious as to what they are doing.
[/li][li]1624 - The odd people were settling, and finally one of them caught him poking around. They mostly mistook him for a savage with the way he was hissing at them. It wasn't as if he could explain what he was, and if he could they wouldn't understand the language he used.
[/li][li]1643-53 - Southern New Jersey was settled by Sweden. There was generally peace between the Natives and the Swedish, and he didn't mind them too much.
[/li][li]1674 - Britain took over northern New Jersey, and he was finally figured out and things started to make far more sense. He was being taught English, though learning the translations were odd for both of them seeing as they spoke no mutual language. One of those things that just had to be figured out eventually.
[/li][li]The Providence of New Jersey was handed off initially to the Duke of York, but then was handed off to friends of said Duke. He didn't like being shuffled around like this, but at least he wasn't the one that had to explain who he was anymore. Then he was sold off again to the Quakers because of issues with collecting taxes.
[/li][li]He was actually even divided in half when sold and this was very confusing for him to be shared back and forth between sides of himself.
[/li][li]1702 - His two sides came together and he became an official colony. Which meant he had to learn far more English now as he had only learned enough to manage before. He was given his first boss and thus stuck with said boss even if it did look odd for a Governor to have a child wandering around with him. He was not a very good boss either, corrupt and taking bribes, so it wasn't a great start.
[/li][li]1701-1765 - His border was in dispute with New York, thus how they officially met with a bunch of little fights between them over where the border was. They weren't very old at this point, but still could whap at one another effectively enough.
[/li][li]1776 - Constitution of New Jersey was drafted, and a state government was created for him.
[/li][li]American Revolution - Jaylen joined the war under 'parental permission' from Alfred at the appearance age of fifteen. Several crucial battles were fought in his state, and left him decently beat up from it. He did his best to help where he could in such battles as well.
[/li][li]1804 - Anti-slavery acts were being taken, and he became a helper with the Underground Railroad.
[/li][li]1847-48 - Jersey fought in the Mexican-American War with his own battalion
[/li][li]1860's - No battles were fought in New Jersey for the Civil War, but he joined it as a northern state to abolish slavery and to help his other states out.
[/li][li]WWI - New Jersey was a major manufacturer for the war effort and after things shifted to chemical which made it a leader in chemical production.
[/li][li]1920's - A prosperous time in New Jersey, and he was one of the first states to ratify Prohibition even if he personally didn't really agree with such.
[/li][li]1930's - The great depression, and he was hit hard like everyone else.
[/li][li]1940's - Responsible for production of World War II ships.
