Name:Jasmine Jayde
Bio:

b a s i c s

name: Jasmine Jayde, goes by Jaz or JJ. (Or Jazzy if you want to get punched in the face. She dropped her last name forever ago, but if you really need to know it's Mittermeier.)
age: 20
birthdate: July 25, 1989
family: Father - unknown, Mother - Paula Mittermeier, Brothers - David (24), Steven (23) and Ben (21). She's super-close to her mother and brothers and usually talks to at least one family member daily. They still get together whenever she's in town for family meals and Monday Night Football.
hometown: San Fernando Valley, CA
career: Bassist/backup singer for Muse Trueblood

p a s s e n g e r

traveling with: Muse and basically her whole entourage.
contest entry: Involuntary (but totally voluntary, if you know what I mean. Fucking cruise ftw) - she's the bass player for Muse's band and when Muse was booked for the New Year's Eve entertainment on the NausicaƤ, that meant Jaz went along, too. Bitchin'.
room: Arete Deck - 1102 - Home of Dionysus

This room is absolute luxury. Lush purple carpets cover the floors of the main room, and the walls are a pale green with wine-colored wainscoting. Art depicting the god of wine and festivities can be found through-out the room. The furniture is all a dark wine-colored leather. There is a couch, two armchairs, and coffee table, right across from a large flat-screen TV on the wall with DVD player. There is a kitchenette, including a fully stocked mini-bar. Covering the balcony doors are sheer curtains, decorated with grapes. Hanging over the kitchen table is a golden chandelier.

The large bathroom has many amenities of the spa - including a jacuzzi tub, and a shower stall that doubles as a mini-steam room. Its tiles are painstakingly and individually hand-painted, alternatively with grapes or scenes depicting the life of Dionysus.

There are two lesser bedrooms and one master bedroom, all with the same decorating scheme as the main room. Each room has a king-sized bed with leather headboard, and wine-colored linens of Egyptian cotton. The master bedroom has a computer desk as well.

p h y s i c a l i t y

blood type: AB-
sexuality: Flexible. She's attracted more to personality over looks (though she's a sucker for a six-pack.)
appearance: At 6' even with a penchant for wearing high heels and cowboy boots, Jaz often stands out in a crowd - and that's before one really gets a good look at what she's wearing. She's slim, trending more towards the skinny side because she's usually running around on nothing but Red Bull and chewing gum until someone shoves a burger in her hand and makes her eat it. She's a natural blonde, her hair length varying between just below her shoulders to longer depending on whether or not she has extensions in, often left in her natural curls and waves, usually looking unbrushed and like she just rolled out of bed. She frequently clips in strange decorations, like raccoon-stripe extensions and feathers. Though she positively adores makeup in all its forms, hers is quite frequently smeared from spending all night out playing or dancing, collapsing into bed without washing it off, and getting up and going the next day (after just a quick wash.) She's a typical California girl with her blue eyes and tan, with a dash of freckles across her nose that takes away from the trashy badass look and makes her look sort of cute (but don't let her hear you say that or she'll grab your nuts and twist.) Her voice is just on the deeper end of midrange, a bit husky when speaking and singing - ideal, because her two favorite genres are rock and soul.

Her personal style is sort of trashy-chic, consisting of a lot of leggings, cutoff shorts, big off-the-shoulder tops, things that look shredded, animal prints, hot pants, and absolute fuck-tons of glitter. Even when she's not dressing up, she's got such a build-up of glitter (because that shit never washes out) that traces of it can be found in her hair, on her face and body... basically everywhere. She wears a lot of black, but likes to balance it with bright colors and chunky plastic jewelry or anything sparkly. She tones it down just a little bit on stage because it wouldn't be cool to upstage the star of the damn show, but because Muse herself wears such bright things, she usually doesn't have to do much, if anything. She has a small gold hoop in her left nostril and a tattoo of a dollar sign on the back of her left hand, on the webbed area between her thumb and forefinger. Because she's fucking money.

p e r s o n a l i t y

behavior: Jaz's personality is just as loud as her clothes - overall, she's friendly and upbeat, though with a bit of a rough edge to her that can make her look brash and sometimes a little rude (though her real friends know she doesn't mean it that way and just ignore it.) She's loud and out there, never afraid to speak her mind or stand up for herself (or anyone else she cares for if she thinks they're being picked on.) She curses like a sailor and has a frequently raunchy sense of humor. She grew up running pretty wild, and nothing's changed in 19 years - she'll take any dare put to her, rise to any challenge, take her hits like a man and dish some surprisingly powerful punches out in return. She's a dynamo that does everything 110%, whether it's fighting, partying until she can't stand up, or working on her music, into which she throws her whole heart and soul. Her sense of humor trends towards the ironic and sarcastic with a healthy sense of the absurd that often has her giggling to herself when no one else gets the joke. She drinks like a fish - her beverages of choice are beer and Jack Daniels, and she can put them away in quantities that are mind-boggling to most people. Her frequent joke is that her German heritage means she's born to drink. Despite her hard-partying ways, she's utterly professional when it comes to her music - there's a time to jam and mess around with friends, and there's a time to get down to business, and she always knows the difference between the two.

She's frequently underestimated - her whole look and public persona lead people to think she's just another dumb Valley blonde - but she's smarter than she looks. She just doesn't often use it where people can see her. She's got a good head for numbers and has a pretty good talent for business where it relates to promoting herself and managing her gigs, though she's got a tendency to spend... well, non-thriftily. She likes to read... sometimes... but doesn't like to be alone for long periods and will usually end up going out in search of adventure or just someone to hang out with. She's intensely loyal - once you're one of her boys or girls, you're in unless you betray her and she'll do anything for people who've proven themselves one of her group. She's super liberal and a total free spirit, and doesn't consider herself to be bound by pretty much any societal conventions. She does what she wants when she wants, and if someone doesn't like it they can just go away. Unless they're the cops, in which case they'll probably arrest her for having sex in a public park in the middle of the night. Whoops.
special skills: Speaks German, plays bass guitar - awesome bass guitar, thanks, and sings.
strengths: Loyal: With Jaz, once you're in, you're in. She's like a pitbull when it comes to defending her friends and family, and she'll do anything it takes to keep them safe and happy. She's definitely included Muse in this group - though the two are only a year apart, she feels like her (way) less sheltered background has made her protective of the trusting singer who's become such a good friend. She tries to keep an eye out as much as she can for the people who will try to take advantage of Muse for her money or celebrity and chase them away before they can do any harm.
weaknesses: Hothead: Though Jaz is overall a friendly girl, she's got a temper like you wouldn't believe. She doesn't hesitate to speak her mind, which usually ends up hindering more than it helps, and someone who knows her buttons or who tries to fuck with one of her friends or family members better know how to duck because she's way more likely to throw a punch than to try and settle things with words. Her temper rarely lasts long unless it's something really heinous, but dear god is she a firecracker when she gets going.

Claustrophobia: Maybe it's a result of growing up in a tiny house with a bunch of tall dudes, maybe it was triggered that one time at a party that she got totally blitzed and locked in a closet so small she couldn't even sit down for six hours until someone shut off the goddamned music and heard her yelling, but Jaz doesn't do small spaces. Her triggers are small, locked rooms, elevators, tunnels, and places with low roofs or narrow walls. Symptoms of an attack include (but aren't limited to) trembling, shaking, confusion, dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, and heart palpitations. She has a natural love of the outdoors, so she mostly tries to stay outside or in large rooms as much as she can, and usually sleeps with at least a window open whenever weather permits.

Impulsive: Business decisions aside, Jaz has a massive problem with impulse control. Basically, she has none. If it's something she wants, she'll go or do whatever in order to get it. She parties hard, spends too much money, drives too fast... you name it. She also can't turn down a dare, something that's led to concussions and broken bones in the past. So far she's managed to shake it off, but there's always the chance that she'll one day bite off more than she can chew.

personal history: Jasmine Jayde Mittermeier was born poor as dirt in a one-bedroom house in the worst part of the Valley to single mother Paula Mittermeier and three brothers. Paula was a struggling actress, an immigrant from Germany, who'd lost her family in a factory accident in Berlin. The paltry payout for her loss was enough to get her what she hoped would be a fresh start in America, the land of opportunity, though for Paula it was mostly the land of assistant managing an In-n-Out Burger, with auditions crammed into every other free moment. Jaz, the baby of the four kids (all from different fathers, it should be noted; Jaz has no idea who her dad is and hasn't ever really felt the need to know), grew up chasing after her brothers in a neverending game of monkey see, monkey do. Though they mostly ignored her, she was thrown the occasional bone and given a sort of grudging acceptance - her brothers taught her how to fight, snuck her her first beer, and were even the ones to introduce her to the classic rock that would spark her love of music. She grew up stuffed in that house like sardines, so it was no wonder some of her brothers' rougher qualities rubbed off on her.

When she was nine, her mother landed a more or less steady gig as a bit character on Days of our Lives, introducing young Jasmine (who'd tag along on set whenever she got the chance) to the glittery world of celebrity - pretty and shiny things all around. That was the year she wore a bright pink feather boa and sequined ballet flats (both donated courtesy of one of the lead actresses, who took a shining to the scrappy little girl) everywhere she went. No matter what she was wearing. The boa looked like shit by the time her mother finally managed to throw it out, but damned if she hadn't felt fabulous whenever it was wrapped around her skinny neck. That was also the year she first heard a song by The Who, courtesy of her older brother David. She absolutely fell in love with it, and devoured any and all classic rock she could get her hands on. She became fascinated with the pulsing basslines she could hear under the flashier guitars, the absolute groove and funk that could be coaxed out of the innocent-looking instrument. She decided she was going to learn how to play herself, and took basically every job she was capable of doing around the neighborhood for whatever spare change she could manage - she washed cars, walked dogs, mowed lawns, anything. Her diligence paid off (though mostly thanks to contributions from her older brothers who had better-paying gigs and a well-timed bonus her mother received.) For her birthday, she got a shiny (kind of) new (to her) bass guitar and baby amp. There wasn't money for lessons, but Jaz was determined, and subjected her family to hours and hours a day of her shitty playing while she tried to figure it out herself from books she got at the library.

Her determination paid off thanks to a large deal of previously unrealized natural talent, and before long she was jamming with a proficiency that didn't make her brothers try and break down the garage door to get to her. She was on her own until she was thirteen, where she joined a garage band with some friends from school. At fifteen they were sneaking into clubs to play actual gigs (it helped that she was tall and looked old for her age), and at sixteen she was hanging around clubs known to host actual famous musicians who wanted to play a few informal sets. Determination and sheer brass balls landed her opportunities to jam with Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It brought her to the attention of an agent, who got her a job working in a studio as a session musician, and in turn submitted her demo reel with Virgin, who was looking for a band for one of their new acts. Jaz auditioned and got the gig, traveling with Muse on her first world tour before returning to LA while the singer worked on her second album. She sent money home while on tour to help her family, but with most of her brothers already out on their own and Paula doing respectably well for herself on Days, it wasn't needed as much as it would have been when all of them were living at home. But Jaz never forgot who it was that bought her her first guitar, and treats her brothers accordingly whenever she can. Then word came down that Muse had been booked as the New Year's Eve entertainment for a new cruise line and the whole band was coming along, and before she knew it she was packing to fly down to Miami for a hella vacation!

+ You're damn right Jaz has a glittery hot pink bass. It's not her only guitar, but it's one of her favorites.

This is not real. I am not Ke$ha nor a bassist for a chart-topping band.
