GUESS WHO IT IS?!?!
YEAH!
JESSE MFIN MCBRIDE

(Oh, also this is Aleena controlling him. Sup? Hey.)



  • Senior, Azurcrest, Prefect (And he's actually dedicated, okay!)
  • Raised in South Buffalo in an intensely Irish Catholic neighborhood, even though his maternal grandmother is OBVI Polish and his paternal grandmother is lying about the fact that she is OBVI of Sephardic Jewish descent
  • He's a huge geek and loves blending muggle and magical understandings of science. He's extremely gifted in science/math/hermeticism (but I'm not, so don't ask me about it)
  • If I am playing him right, he SHOULD be charming in a goofy, funny way :) He is very self-assured and laidback.
  • His Senior Project is his life. He is essentially attempting to create apparition for muggles (or teleportation). This is a project he has been working on since the 5th grade. This looks like two "Apparition Machines," one of which is located at Gooseberry and one at his home in Buffalo.
  • He travels A LOT, mostly because apparition doesn't work inside Gooseberry limits and he has to leave the boundaries to test his machines. He also leaves frequently to accept grant and cash prizes, since his work is self-funded. Plus, he's gotta travel to conduct negotiations with MACUSA reps about potentially breaking the International Statute of Secrecy with his project. International Man of Mystery.
  • Personality wise, he's a bro. Nerd bro.
  • A fixture at Grotto parties - where he is always a little bit out of control
  • While he has cut back since his sophomore year, Jesse is definitely a booze hound. He's super high functioning, but if your characters know him really well (roommates, primarily), they should be worried about him :(
  • He's obsessed with Quinn... uh, in a cute way??


    IMPORTANT!: He has a band (SUCK IT, DIEGO ;* ) called the Canadian Ballerinas. It has a kind of Strokes-esque vibe. He plays the drums. If your character wants in on this action, let me know. If no one wants to volunteer, he will be aggressively recruiting soon.

    Uhh... I can't remember what else. I'm so excited! I'm being a spazz! I'm sorry!

    EDIT: JESSE'S BAND NEEDS A FRONT MAN!!!

i mean he does need another azuracest boy to feud with now that he accidentally warmed up to Diego totally accidentally.

it could have started freshman year, when he picked kirby in smash brothers, and then went out of his way to try to pick kirby every single time once he realized jesse initially disagreed with that decision.

I read cricket and Diego discussing Chris. And cricket was like 110 percent on point. Clearly Chris needs to step up his game, she's onto him.

I think they're probably nothing more than antagonistic. But it's a harmless antagonistic? Because somehow Jesse is more annoying than Diego, but Chris can't punch him in the face for that.

And despite that, I can also see Chris sidling up to Jesse to talk about Herm and artificing.

So I don't even know how to define that kind of relationship.

I tried to write Chris as SUCH an asshole and he just won't let me idek it's prolly his little Bambi face

I mean Chris would say 'don't knock it till you try it' bc he will fuck everything you love Jesse. Chris is weirdly entangled in Azuracest.

I also feel like grotto parties negate a true hate/hate relationship bc they're prolly beer pong bros.
