[JESSE TOYODA]

Jesse here is the eldest of four children born to Lisbeth and Jackson Toyoda. Times were't always easy for their family, and circumstances meant that Jesse got a part-time job when he was in high school. He didn't graduate with the best grades and he gave up the chance to go to college for his sisters. Now he works as a chauffeur for a well off family here in Tokyo. He's working on putting his youngest sister, Kim, through college and possibly going himself in the future, but for now he's just fighting the urge to get himself fired by bringing up his employer's parenting style. He loves his job, he does, but he sees how deprived those children are and it breaks his heart because Jesse adores kids.

friends - jesse's a nice enough guy. he likes joking around, and can take a joke despite his responsible streak. anyone interested in cars he'd get on well with, as well as anyone who has an interest in children too. it's not overly hard to make friends with jesse and he's loyal to a fault.

enemies - definitely not one to hold grudges, jesse has a live and let live kind of policy. he tries to smooth over any problems he has with people. they may not be trusted again but he won't go out of his way to make their life hell either. unless it's someone who hurts his sisters or family. that's a whole new ball game and jesse's gotten into a few fights over the years to prove it.

romance - zip, nada and zero describe this area well enough. jesse thinks himself too busy for a girlfriend. he has other commitments to his family and such that he's a bit preoccupied dealing with right now, but that's not to say he'd turn down a nice date every now and then. it would depend on the girl, time and place really.

jeremy -- they would probably get along - not in a "let's be best friends" sort of way, but in a general understanding, friendly manner. i think jeremy might see a little of himself in terms of jesse's responsibility, but there's the age difference, and i'm not sure how often they'd really run into each other. i don't think jesse went to brennan's academy, so they wouldn't really know one another. but in terms of a passing random advice session at a bar, they could probably get along.

mary -- mary would probably wear jesse down. chances are she's worse than the kids his boss has in terms of being rambunctious and a handful. she might ask him a lot of questions about his job though if she saw him at the park waiting for the kids and nanny to get done playing on the playground or whatever. she's inquisitive like that.

max -- yeah... max seems to be a roll alienating every character on the site. i'm not sure they'd frequent many places, other than an occasional bar or store. i'm fairly sure max's vibes would make jesse steer clear of him.

natalie -- the most i can think up is her trying to get him to be her driver? i suppose when i officially switch her over to super-bitch mode as a result of the chaos dice roll she might decide he's pretty to look at, and want him for her own personal driver. otherwise, in normal mode, she probably wouldn't pay much attention to him unless he was a fan of hers.

pax -- i just see pax writing out a ticket for parking, and then forgetting to hand it to jesse because he's asking how hard it is to park a car, drive with kids in the car, or dealing with traffic, or if the pay for jesse's job is better.

rei -- eh, aside from a regular run-in, i don't know if they'd have much reason to talk. perhaps since he's working for someone that can afford a driver and nanny, rei might know the family and the kids? i suppose that depends on what kind of people they associate with since rei's family wealth isn't quite clean...

otherwise, any one of my kids could end up drunk (maybe not mary), and jesse could end up taking pity on them and giving them a ride home? given the emotional turmoil i'm putting them through, and am likely to put them through, that would work for any one of them except mary... she'd just invite herself into the car anyway asking for a ride.
