He's just over six foot tall, and skinny enough to give the vague impression that he could've started out as a rather shorter guy and been vigorously stretched. He's got thick, pitch-black hair in tousled waves that curl around his ears and the nape of his neck, vaguely caramel-coloured skin, and eyes dark enough that one can't easily see a difference between pupil and iris, which covers the tall and dark portions pretty effectively. Handsome, though, is something of an overstatement; he's not unattractive, but his head has the same long thin proportions as his body, with a prominent nose, thick dark brows, and sizable ears that stick out conspicuously on either side of his head. Still, his face is alert and expressive, and more often than not his healthy white teeth are shown off in a wide grin. Currently, said grin is set off by a short, neatly trimmed beard -- also black, of course.<br />{{pad|3em}}He tends to straight-legged jeans, high-top converse, and an open-collared button-down under a light sweater, nearly always with a well-loved old black trenchcoat worn over top. He has no visible piercings or tattoos, but he does wear more jewelry than most guys one encounters around here, most notably several silver-and-stone rings.<center><+views: <span class="pop">[[#Jewelry|jewelry]]<span style="width:600px;margin-left:7.5%;">Jai's watch, bracelet, and the ring on his right index-finger are all inlaid Zuni-style with semi-precious stones ranging from shiny to sparkly. On his right ring finger is a ring clearly fashioned from a fork, the tines reminiscent of wavy tentacles and bearing a round, polished moonstone among them; on the left ring finger is a simpler ring which looks as though it may have been made of the handle from the same fork. One middle-finger ring has a quite large, square zirconite surrounded by irregular oval patches of turquoise enamel. He also sometimes wears a ring that looks like a round aquamarine in a setting like wind-furrowed sand and one with a pattern of intricate, lacey, but somewhat organic cut-outs. He wears three pendants on chains, all usually hidden beneath his shirt: one that looks like a tiny dog-whistle, one capsule-like filigreed tube with a small hebrew 'chai' on it, and one with the Miskatonic University symbol wreathed in tentacles. The metal of all his jewelry is silver, or at least silver-coloured.</span></span>, <span class="pop">scent<span style="width:300px;margin-left:27%;">Jai tends to smell of a mixture of cedar and cloves, a clean, sort of sweet/spicy/woodsy blend.</span></span>></center> |

 |
Brilliant and adorable! (Takes after her parents.) |
 |
It's nice to know I can always count on you to get me out of a hole. And occasionally, into one. |
| |
|

 |
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES! |

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But I like that you think horses. |
 |
The relation's fairly distant, but I bet you'd liven up a family reunion. |
| |
|

Kind of like a jetpack. Prone to explosions, but impressive and undeniably pretty cool. |

Why do they bury lawyers at the center of the Earth? 'cause deep down, they're really nice guys. |

| |
|

 |
Thanks for one of my two favourite PIGs. Hell, I didn't need those pants anyway. |
 |
Has the universe gotten smaller, or is it just me? I can't help suspecting it's probably just me. |

| |||
 |
I applaud your defiance of the Petra Tax. And even more, that you came out ahead. |

 My best high  Contrary to Mom's prediction for that last pic, my face did not in fact freeze that way.  In fact, she claims I  I even stand out in a crowd!  People do offer me  ...even tiny ones.  My wife is an awesome photographer.  I have no idea how  Clara, my beautiful baby. 
 Isn't she gorgeous? |
 Jai's engagement ring.  Jai's wedding ring.  Jai's Miskatonic pendant.  Jai's capsule necklace.  Jai's whistle necklace.  Jai's ring.  Jai's other ring.  Jai's third ring.  Jai's weirdest ring.  Jai's simplest ring.  Jai's bracelet.  Jai's watch.  Jai's coat.  Octopus Tie.  Banjolele! |
[Public] Quentin says, "I'm just unfamiliar with webpage code of any kind, frankly. I preferred the days when we made cave paintings. I'm a wiz with cave paintings."
[Public] Andrea says, "Cave paintings? Modernist rubbish. I just prefer to separate my amoeboid self in artistic ways, to the accompanyment of a Pink Floyd soundtrack."
[Public] Quentin says, "All in all we're just a mitocondrial wall?"
To (Liane, Jai), Petra pages: Hahaha. I note that nobody pointed out that Petra was *another* lovely lady who's still there. Because we all know she's not 'lovely'. ;D
To (Jai, Petra), Liane pages: Oh, she's lovely, all right. Just not a lady ;)
<OOC> Liane says, "I leave you with this! As I'm off doing VERY IMPORTANT NON-TS THINGS with this bottle of sensual massage oil, leather whip and bottle of caramel sauce, Petra suddenly attacks Meg and begins ferociously making out with her. Jai, after thanking his lucky stars, grabs some popcorn to watch, but the buttery smell causes both Meg and Petra to jump him in a buttered and salty sexy threesome. This being WoD, they all fall madly in love with one another, leading to ANGST between them, for it is forbidden to love between the half-demon, half-were, and vampiric thrall! You may assign one another whatever roll you'd prefer. :) Natsuki is, obviously, just going to ninja away to her harem and hold this all as blackmail against them. <3"
To (Trace, Nathan, Petra, Jai), Joel pages: Saliva is the best thing for nosebleeds.
To (Trace, Nathan, Petra, Jai), Joel pages: Ancient home remedy.
To (Jai, Nathan, Damian), Liane pages: The fact that all three of you are in the same spot fills me with a trembling glee.
You paged (Liane, Nathan, Damian) with 'Oh crap she's looking, hand me my pants!'
To (Jai, Nathan, Liane), Damian pages: Nathan, get off Jai's pants!
To (Damian, Liane, Jai), Nathan pages: Everybody act normal!
You paged (Liane, Nathan, Damian) with 'I don't know how!'
From afar, to (Jai, Nathan, Damian): Liane snickers.
To (Jai, Nathan, Liane), Damian pages: Jai, you spaz out, Nathan, quick, sing a song about death! I'm gonna hug you guys! NOTHING'S HAPPENING HERE
<OOC> Damian shanks Jai. A love shank. Baby love shank.
<OOC> Petra says, "I got me a shiv, it's killed about twenty, so hurry up, and-- oh."
<OOC> Jai brings his jukebox money. Also, bandaids.
From afar, to (Joel, Destiny, Petra, Jai, Liane): Nathan can has christmas tree.
To (Nathan, Petra, Jai, Liane), Joel pages: Does it smell piney?
To (Jai, Petra, Joel, Liane), Nathan pages: Since it is not actually pine, no, but I could probably burn an artificial pine-scented candle. My god, my life is a tower of lies.
To (Jai, Petra), Abyss pages: Oh mai gawd are you two still on?
To (Abyss, Jai), Petra pages: Nope.
To (Petra, Jai), Abyss pages: You crazy.
To (Abyss, Jai), Petra pages: You're the one talking to people who aren't here!
<OOC> Joel says, "I don't think I can soak an Explorer."
GM has to AFK suddenly during a scene, leading to a long silence, which leads to...
<OOC> Jai says, "Sooo. How 'bout that local sports team?"
<OOC> Gareth likes the local sports team the best. What with their sportsmanship, vis a vis that other team who aren't sportsmanlike in that game they play.
<OOC> Jai agrees entirely. Did you see the other day when that other team blatantly harmed that player from the local sports team, so that a point wasn't scored, but the person responsible for making sure everything is fair and by the rules didn't notice? I was so upset.
<OOC> Gareth was appropriately upset and let his local radio station know!
<OOC> Jai says, "Oh, on the show that focuses on sporting events, particularly those of local interest? I think I heard your call."
[Public] Karma says, "I'm just saying that if someone says that Karma cheated on her boyfriend, there is an objective truth of that, regardless of whether people believe that person or not"
[Public] Karma says, "I either did or did not, and there's no amount of definition that changes the Truth"
[Public] Karma does not have Schrodinger's Vagina
[Public] Karma says, "You can know exactly where I am or just how "fast" I am, but not both! >.>"
[Public] Lucid says, "we are all sooo worth the wait"
[Public] Lucid says, "except Petra.. shes pretty much what you expect :P"
[Public] Jai says, "Make up your mind: is she what you'd expect, or is she not worth the wait?"
[Public] Lucid says, "that very paradox is the preceived nature of Petra :)"
[Public] Jai says, "What's the postceived nature of Petra? :D"
[Public] Guest0 says, "'Nice tush'?"
<OOC> Cole has a bimbo accompaniment.
<OOC> Randall says, "I've never heard of that instrument, Cole!"

<OOC> Fred says, "Jane: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
<OOC> Fred says, "Thanks Jane, now to Jim with sports."
To (Jai, Damian, Petra), Liane pages: You're in a hot tub with Jai and Damian. If there was any more LOVE in that tub it would impregnate every creature within ten miles and bake it cookies AT THE SAME TIME.
To (Jai, Damian, Petra), Liane pages: Seriously, all you need is Karuvar and the entire city would be popping out smiling adorable kiddies.
To (Jai, Damian, Petra), Liane pages: I'm just sayin'.
<OOC> Bill says, "Gentlemen! You may wonder why I brought you here this evening."
<OOC> Andrea gasps. It was the butler after all?
<OOC> Jai thought it was the reading of the will!
<OOC> Bill says, "It's something much, much more sinister, I'm afraid."
<OOC> Jai says, "...the interpretive dancing of the will?"
<OOC> Bill says, "Unfortunately, yes."
<OOC> Jai says, "YOU MONSTER!"
<OOC> Bill says, "We shall see you in Hastings!"
<OOC> Jai says, "I'm kind of tired. Can I see you in Dawdlings instead?"
<OOC> Bill says, "Is that in Georgia? Oops."
<OOC> Bill says, "something something Jimmy Magna Carter."
<OOC> Damian says, "Now, in lycanthrope lore, silver bullets are totally the thing, but they pale in comparison to the rare material component 'Tongue of Jai'. Which is like eye of newt but harder to come by and a lot sexier."
