Jason Dean Forrest ( “JD”)

48 years old. Has a birthday in January.

A golden retriever in human form, who’s always there to perk you up and be there for you through thick and thin, and always knows how to liven up a scene. Easy to open up to, but hard to read beyond his confidence.

Stunningly competent civil rights (common law) lawyer by day, frat bro by night.
It’s one part having a young man’s hangover, one part the ease of grabbing a bite compared to an older crowd that's less likely to get blackout drunk. (While he doesn’t enjoy vampirism, he doesn’t find it necessary to punish himself with a harder hunt. It is harder on him mentally, though.)
While he does have a reputation to uphold as a lawyer, his work is just far enough from the local university scene that it causes less issues than one may think.
Sometimes dabbles with cougars closer to his age, but they want things he thinks he can’t give. He’s sort of young at heart like that.

When implicated in a crime he didn’t commit in late summer 1989, he signed his soul to the devil to avoid jail without hesitation. This is the first sign that martyrdom actually doesn’t fit him.
While most vampires keep their demon contractor at arm’s length, he notably summoned his demon as soon as possible and successfully renegotiated certain clauses to be able to speak freely with his parents. He denies any suggestions that this kick started his passion for law, since it would give those circumstances credit.

A major hypocrite with self-esteem issues. He has great potential that he stops himself from achieving due to immense self-loathing.
Merrily adopted by the vampire community due to his youth and potential, he vehemently rejects most gifts and favors given to him. They’re fine with playing the waiting game, though.

Has a soft spot for Bernard since, while the man has his own goals, he struck a chord with Forrest during the (vampiric) formative years. He holds Yvonne’s at an arm’s length since she’s more blatant about her flexing.

In a weird position where he knows he’s overstepping lines of social appropriateness by hanging out with Diana like he does but also sort of cares? Doesn’t care at the same time? There’s a lot of things he knows he shouldn’t does and he does it anyway, even though he’s wound up about a lot.

The vampire he takes the least seriously is Madison. While he does mean well and is willing to help her, he still tiptoes around her a little since she's so involved with Yvonne, Bernard, and the others.
