May. 9th, 2018 01:39 pmKissing: go for it, especially if you’re a hot guy.
Hugging: she’s going to be far more reserved when it comes to hugging, seeing it as a higher form of intimacy than kissing.
Touching: she’s open to it with men. A lot more reserved with women.
Flirting: she’s likely to initiate it with men. She may flirt with women, but it’s not going to be anything she takes seriously unless CR takes her to a totally unexpected place.
Sex: sure. Again, she’s likely to make the first move with male characters. It MAY be possible with a woman if the CR goes there or she's in a threesome with another woman and a man.
Hurting: Jane is an ordinary human, so please ask me first.
Torture: hard limit. No.
Killing: I’m open to it, but we’d need to discuss it first. Nothing gratuitous. It has to be earned by the storyline.

CHARACTER
Character Name: Jane Jones, AKA Alice Ayres
Character Age: 24
Canon: Closer
Canon Point: after Jane goes through Customs, but before the very end of the movie
History: Here
Personality: "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off. But it's better if you do."
This line sums up Jane and her complicated relationship with the truth and lies and even sex. She lies to her lover, Dan, about her real name for four years. Why? It's heavily implied that Jane has self-esteem issues. Jane Jones was "just" a stripper and a waitress while Alice Ayres was a hero who saved the lives of other people before succumbing to death herself. Later, at an art display of portraits of sad people, Jane being among them, she tells the artist's lover that the photos were a lie because they made the sadness look beautiful because of the distance from the sadness allowed by photography. The distance made the viewers feel more comfortable with the sadness, leading Jane to condemn the photos as "a big, fat lie. And everyone loves a big, fat lie."
When Dan leaves her for another woman, Jane states her opinion that she amused Dan, but she also bored him. At this time, she also insists that she's the one who leaves relationships, that as soon as she falls out of love with a man she tells them "I don't love you anymore. Good-bye." In this case, despite still being in love with Dan, Jane ends the relationship on her terms. She lies and tricks Dan into going into the kitchen while Jane leaves their shared apartment and disappears into the night.
Jane had been working as a waitress when she was with Dan, but when she's on her own, she returns to stripping, another lie as she's giving the illusion of intimacy with the men she's stripping for. The one man she is truthful with is the husband of the woman Dan left Jane for, Larry. She gives him her real name, although he doesn't believe her, she tells him that she doesn't desire the men she strips for even though she initially lies and says that she does, after the husband asks to sleep with Jane, she insists that she's not just a revenge fuck and that she doesn't need anyone to take care of her as she's capable of doing so on her own (and she is).
After the failure of Dan's relationship with the woman he left Jane for, he returns to find Jane and renew their relationship. This relationship lasts a year before it comes to a crisis point. Dan is insistent on knowing whether or not Jane slept with Larry. He asks her ceaselessly whether or not it happened. Jane lies again, insisting that she never slept with Larry although she did. She believed that Dan would be unable to handle the truth. What she didn't know was that Larry had already told Dan that he slept with Jane.
Dan's insistence on getting the truth out of Jane kills the love she has for him. It's left to the viewer to decide why she no longer loves Dan, but it's my personal opinion that Jane's complicated relationship with the truth and lies forces her to a point where she believes that Dan wouldn't accept her if she told the truth about sleeping with Larry and she purposefully falls out of love to prevent being hurt further.
During the argument at the end of Jane and Dan's relationship, Jane is proven right about Dan's inability to handle the truth. He screams the ultimate question of Jane's life, "who are you," at her, leading Jane to yell at him that she's no one, indicating problems with her self-esteem, and spits in his face. Dan rears back to slap Jane, but stops himself. Instead of letting that be the end of the argument and the relationship, Jane goads Dan into hitting her, an act of violence that permanently ends Jane's feelings for Dan.
After this, Jane returns to NYC after living in London for four years.
When Jane arrives at Hadriel, she'll be in a very emotionally vulnerable state. She will likely retreat into lies to keep people at a safe distance at first, likely giving the alias Alice Ayres as her name. This alias served her well for four years, making her feel better about herself and who she is.
That doesn't mean that she'll be incapable of telling the truth. If confronted with lies from other characters, she'll be relentless in goading them into telling her the truth, even if it damages their relationship. If asked about why she left London, she'll tell them that it was because of problems with a man. She probably won't elaborate on that further, unless she's pressed hard. Though, if pressed hard, it's more likely that she'll get herself out of the conversation rather than tell the full truth.
Jane can be charming, witty, clever, and sly all at the same time. She has no shame about her career as a stripper and is very open and frank about sexuality. She takes interest in the lives of other people, especially when she's attracted to them or finds them intriguing in some way. Any number of people will intrigue her, but it will likely be people who are not from Earth or are from Earth of the past who interest her the most as she's just an ordinary 21st century twenty-eight year old woman and she'd be curious about their life experiences and how they compare to hers. She's sly in that she's good at seeing through lies and is capable of maintaining a lie herself for a very long time.
She's also capable of being very cold. She openly mocks Larry to his face when he shows up at her strip club and requests a private audience. If a character gets on her bad side, she likely won't hesitate to needle them about it even in casual situations. She can switch off her emotions with startling ease, leaving a person a friend one day and (if offended somehow) a stranger the next.
Jane has a complex relationship with the truth and it would prove interesting to have her in a setting where the truth is so often necessary for survival and mutual respect. She would either have to resolve to tell the truth at all times or lie constantly to maintain a front and it would be exciting to see which way the character falls in the end.
Jane tends to hold her emotional cards close to the vest. After she overheard Dan talking about kissing another woman, she acts as though all is normal until Dan leaves. Then she reveals to the other woman that she heard the two of them talking about kissing. She tries to act as though all is normal until the other woman offers her sympathy. At this point, Jane is crying because of the hurt she feels over her lover being unfaithful. She refuses to accept any comfort, preferring to keep her emotions hidden, even though it’s clear that she’s hurting over the man she loves with all her heart betraying her.
Jane is often not very nice. In the scene in the strip club, she chooses to belittle Larry for his pain at his wife leaving him and acts as though losing Dan hasn’t hurt her emotionally, even though it very much has as evidenced in the scene where she finds out that Dan has been having a long term affair with another woman. Rather than let the hurt show, she retreats into callousness. Only after it becomes clear that Larry is truly hurting does she show anything like remorse and lets the mask slip, showing that she too has been hurt.
Jane is very flirtatious, even while in a relationship, even when she knows that someone she is flirting with is in a relationship of their own. When she first met Dan, she found out that he had a girlfriend, but continued flirting with him anyway, leading to the end of that relationship. She flirts with Larry at the art premiere, again knowing he’s with someone else. In fact, her first line in canon is a saucy “hello, stranger” to Dan after she gets hit by a car.
Jane has no real ambitions beyond waitressing and stripping. College is never mentioned when she talks about her past. Later in canon, it’s stated that Jane is still stripping even after she gets back together with Dan. He accuses her of being addicted to it which she doesn’t deny. Jane seems to get a thrill out of stripping, leaving men desiring her but unable to have her. She tells the men she strips for what they want to hear, that she desires them, that they're special, while offering hints about her true self with the quote that started the app.
Jane is fairly centered around relationships, coming to London after the dissolution of one relationship and quickly forming a new one with Dan. She is of the opinion though that while she amuses him, she’s ultimately boring to him due to her lack of sophistication and less than lofty ambitions. After she leaves Dan, she clearly becomes bitter and detached from her emotions and from other people. Once she’s back with Dan, she’s happy again, shown teasing him and flirting with him.
Jane is largely a bundle of neuroses, putting all of her happiness into the hands of another while being capable of cruelty after disappointments. She’s very emotionally insular, letting her guard down with only three people: Dan, who she loves and is devoted to, the other woman, who she cries in front of when she reveals that she overheard them talking about kissing, and Larry, who she shared a moment of honesty with when she tells him her real name. She would likely continue to try to be detached except for when the gods are manipulating her emotions or until she trusts another enough to let her guard down in front of them.
Earning her trust can be difficult. If you're an attractive man, that's a good first step. She doesn't interact with women aside from the other woman in canon, but she'd likely respond better to good looking women or women who didn't shame her for her choice in being a stripper rather than persuing academics. It would likely take women a longer time to get Jane's trust since the only women she interacts with in canon are the other woman, the source of her heartbreak, and other strippers, where it's a job.
All in all, Jane is a deeply romantic soul, given her devotion to Dan even though he cheats on her, but does her best to hide it being a cool, in-control persona that she puts on when stripping. She doesn't like showing vulnerability even though she's deeply vulnerable to the ups and downs of love affairs. She displays coolness and disdain toward Larry, but chooses to sleep with him anyway simply because she wanted to and he asked her nicely. She tries her best to guard her heart, but it always betrays her every time.
Inventory: she'd be carrying a bag containing a pink wig, a passport giving her name as Jane Rachel Jones, a wallet, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and a one-way plane ticket from Heathrow to Laguardia.
Abilities: Jane is a skilled stripper, but otherwise she's an ordinary human.
Flaws: Jane is a liar. She lies to the man she loves, she lies to men she doesn't, and she maintains a false identity for four years with no one suspecting the truth.
