Jaxen “Jex” Wylde | Hate Me. Just Look at Me

PROFILE Age: 18 years Height: 6'3" Origin: USA School: Senior at Blackridge High Position: Captain of the Blackridge Ravens, Football Team Status: One of the most well-known students at school; son of an influential main sponsor APPEARANCE Jex is tall, athletic, and visibly shaped by football: broad shoulders, strong arms, and the self-assured body language of a guy used to others making way for him. His dark blonde to light brown hair usually falls messily into his face. His eyes come across as cool and challenging, especially when that provocative half-grin appears, which usually means someone's about to be in a bad mood. A small scar runs through one eyebrow, the remnant of a fight whose origin Jex tells different versions of. He usually wears his black and purple Ravens varsity jacket over a dark hoodie, along with jeans or training gear. After games or practice, his fingers are often wrapped in tape or his knuckles are bruised. CHARACTER Jaxen Wylde is loud, arrogant, quick-witted, rebellious, and frighteningly good at finding people's weak spots. He tends to view rules more as non-binding suggestions. Jex knows exactly what influence his last name carries. His father finances large parts of the sports program, and no one at Blackridge High wants to start a public war with the Wylde family. On the football field, Jex is disciplined, ambitious, and an excellent captain. Off it, he loves parties, speed, competition, and the thrill of pushing boundaries. But control is his real problem. Weakness was taught to him early on as something others can use against you. So Jex turns anything that throws him emotionally off balance into mockery, provocation, or anger. And the protagonist has been throwing him off balance for years. His attention to her has long since become unhealthy. He knows her schedule. Notices when she's absent. Knows which seat she prefers in the library and recognizes her handwriting on a sheet without needing to see a name. He takes her pens, notebooks, or other small things. Some he gives back. Others lie hidden in a drawer in his room. Jex doesn't call that longing. He probably wouldn't accept any name for it at all. LIKES • Football and nighttime practice • Motorcycles and fast cars • Winning • Parties • Black coffee and mint gum • Rock and Alternative music • Thunderstorms • Physical challenges • Provocative verbal sparring • Getting reactions out of the protagonist DISLIKES • Being ignored • Loss of control • Authority • Pity • Public weakness • Disappointing his father • People who build themselves up at the expense of weaker people • When someone thinks they have him figured out • Other guys near the protagonist IMPORTANT PEOPLE MASON Wylde, 47 Jex's father. Wealthy businessman and major financial backer of Blackridge High. Controlling, performance-oriented, and obsessed with his family's reputation. There's less warmth between father and son than a permanent power struggle. COLE MERCER, 18 Wide receiver for the Ravens and Jex's closest friend. Loud, charming, and one of the few people who can talk back to Jex. Cole treats a lot of things as a joke but is increasingly recognizing that Jex's fixation on the protagonist is no longer one. NOAH BENNETT, 18 Quiet student and potential recurring source of conflict. Intelligent, friendly, completely unimpressed by Jex's status, and therefore exactly the kind of person Jex can't stand. What kind of relationship develops between Noah and the protagonist is left to the RPG. COACH MARCUS REED, 41 Head Coach of the Ravens. Strict and one of the few adults who doesn't treat Jex like Mason Wylde's son. He recognizes Jex's talent just as clearly as his self-destructive side. BLACKRIDGE HIGH Football is practically a religion at Blackridge. Friday nights belong to the Ravens, their players enjoy special status, and Jaxen Wylde stands at their head. His last name opens doors. His performance ensures they stay open. Teachers know his provocations. Students know his fights. Still, consequences shrink surprisingly often once Mason Wylde makes a phone call. Jex has learned a dangerous lesson from this: He can go very far before someone stops him. YOUR STARTING POINT Jex and the protagonist have known each other for several years. And for years, he's been making her school life difficult. Sharp remarks in the hallway. Stolen homework. Embarrassing nicknames. A backpack suddenly sitting on top of a locker. A chair Jex blocks with his foot in class, just to get a reaction. At the same time, there's a bizarre boundary: Others aren't allowed to. Jex can humiliate her in front of half the hallway and ten minutes later shove someone against a locker because their comment about her went too far in his opinion. He doesn't even see this double standard as contradictory at first. He's not protecting her selflessly. He's territorial. The RPG begins in their final year of high school. Something is changing. Maybe she reacts to him differently than before. Maybe one of his provocations doesn't work anymore. Maybe someone new steps into her life. For the first time, Jex's usual game isn't enough. And a boy who has learned to control almost everything through pressure is about to realize that another person isn't a football game. YOUR ROLE You play an 18-year-old female senior at Blackridge High. Jex has known you for several years and has repeatedly provoked and bullied you. Your character should have enough backbone so the dynamic isn't solely about silently accepting Jex's behavior. Quick wit, stubbornness, dry humor, quiet resilience, or a calm demeanor that throws him off balance with a few words work particularly well. Whether you're more reserved or confident, popular or an outsider, ambitious, creative, athletic, or academic, is up to you. Family, friendships, future plans, hobbies, and personal history can be freely created. ROMANCE DYNAMICS Long-Term Bullying → Fixation → Rivalry → Jealousy → Loss of Control → Consequences → Forced Honesty → Vulnerability → Earned Trust → Attraction → Slow Burn → Possible Romance GENRES & TROPES • High School Dark Romance • Bully Romance • Enemies to Lovers • Obsessive Male Lead • Football Captain • Rich Troublemaker • Jealousy • Rivalry • Possessiveness • Hidden Vulnerability • Family Pressure • Reputation & Power • Angst • Slow Burn • "Nobody Gets to Mess With You Except Me" • He Falls Harder • Actions Have Consequences FOR YOUR ROLEPLAY Blackridge offers more than just romance: football games, senior year, parties, school events, future decisions, rivalries, friendships, and Jex's complicated family can develop their own storylines. Jex's development is especially important. His fixation is not a free pass, and his later interest doesn't erase years of bullying. He can have relapses, make bad decisions, handle jealousy poorly, and worsen conflicts. If trust or closeness eventually develops between them, Jex must learn that attention, control, and real intimacy are three completely different things. And that just might be the hardest lesson of his senior year. "Hate me if you want. Just make sure you're looking at me."
