Please do not call me Jam, my name is my name and it shouldn't be shortened, Kiwaro dosen't seem to understand this
I got my name, of course, when i was a mere baby-bean. I'll set the scene: A crisp, windy autumn day rested upon the musky earth of the field near our home. My mother was walking me and Kiwaro (my brother by the way) through said field when Kiwaro decided it was a good idea to climb a tree, he did so, however when he got up about half to three quarters of a way, he found himself uncapable to come back down to the ground. So, my mother had to go and get him, she placed me beneath the tree and told me to stay. Being the goody goody that i was i did sit in place, i glanced next to myself and saw a fruit, without really thinking much of the matter, i ate it with much delight. I ate many more and when my mother returned with Kiwaro, she saw that my face has covered in this fruit and that my tounge had turned a funny colour purple. That fruit turned out to be Jambal berries. My mother named me after this.
Short Story:Haistily, Jambul made his way to his brother, Kiwaro's, and his brother house-mate's, Simon's, house. The
ding sounded as he pressed the door bell, a few seconds passed then the door opened to reveal Simon wearing his usual poncho. Simon becomed him in and went back to his usual daily tasks whilst Jambul went into the living room to find Kiwaro lounging on the sofa watching TV for some reason the shopping channel was on. ''Hey bro'' Kiwaro called as Jambul entered the room.
''Hey'' Jambul greeted jumping on the next comfy chair along
''What you been up to?'' Kiwaro didn't take his eyes off of the telly
''Nothing much, just reading mostly''
Kiwaro sighed and looked at him as this was what he almost always answered
''Fine then, what have you been doing thats so interesting?''
"erm... I got a new blue lip ring''he said showing his lip ''and i err... annoyed Simon''
''So the usual for you aswell then?''
Kiwaro just replied with a grin then looked back to the TV. Jambul looked around the room, the decor hadn't changed from his last visit, he stopped at the picture which hung oppisite him. It was his and Kiwaros family portrait, it depicted their parents and them two, Kiwaro was biting Jambul's tail when the photo was taken but he still liked it very much, it reminded him much of his childhood.
''What shall we do then?'' Jambul asked, a little bored.
"I dunno, what should we do? You're the braniac'' Kiwaro responded flicking through the many TV channels, he stopped on a shark documentary
''I've already seen this'' Jambul moaned. At this Kiwaro did another sigh and turned the TV off.
''We could go for a walk, i guess'' Jambul suggested
"abit boring but ok'' Kiwaro got up off of the sofa, stretched and headed for the door whilst Jambul straightened his glasses and followed him out. After they had left and walked for abit, they came across a field. They had walked this field so much as baby-beans, they could draw it without even looking, everything from the small river that lay through the middle, to the tall Jambul tree that towered over them. They had so many memories, many consisted of them merely laying in the shade talking about who knows what, Kiwaro had once managed to get to the top of the tree even if it did take him a while to get back down.
"I've always loved it here" Jambul commented
"yeah... Oh look, a rabbit" Kiwaro agreed pointing to the creature at the other end of the field.
"Thats a hare actually, you can tell from the black markings and physical features: the legs are larger and..." He trailed off after seeing Kiwaro role his eyes.
" You know everything Jam''
" Don't call me that!'' he shouted scaring the hare away
" Jam Jam Jam Jam Jam Jam Jam Jam jjjjj Jam'' he sang running away.
Jambul chased Kiwaro around the field then, without looking, Jambul fell into the cold river, soaking himself and scaring away the fish. Kiwaro laughed rather hard then cannon balled in after him still laughing.
As you could probably tell, Simon wasn't too pleased when they returned dripping wet, soaking the carpets as they walked threw the house.
Personality:.:Nerdy:.Jambul is quite nerdy, not just the typical book nerdy though, games, animals and science are also his specialty. He loves it when he knows what others don't and corrects them or tells them things they probably couldn't care less about. He dosen't need glasses so he often just wears the frames with no lense as he thinks he suits them and that they fit his charateristics.
.: Polite :.Jambul would never dream of not being polite. Doors will always be opened for lady-beans and manners will always be used when he's around. Some say he is trying to impress the ladies by doing this, they are right on some level however he dosen't think much of it really.
.: Big-headed :.Unlike most nerds he does think rather highly of himself most of the time. This is one of the reasons he spends so much time researching and looking into things, so he can show off a little sometimes. Don't think bad of him for this though, he simply likes attention and being admired. As when you grew up with Kiwaro, sometimes he got abit ignored.
.: Reserved :.He isn't very social, sure he's kind and friendly like most JBD but he dosen't go shouting about his feelings and would perfer to sit with a book or a movie than go out and meet people (though this dosen't mean that he dosen't take intrest in the ladies!). The only person he really trusts and spends time with at the moment is his brother Kiwaro.
Additions: They are the best of friends until the end, nothing can or ever will come between them. As baby-beans they would play, laugh and joke together all the time, Jambul was the brains of the operation and Kiwaro was the looks. Now they remain very good friends and still enjoy each others company. Kiwaro is the only bean that Jambul truely trusts. However like most siblings they have the odd argument, but they usually work it out in the end. Kiwaro has a habit of annoying Jambul and getting on his nerves but he loves him anyway
To start, he is amazingly beautiful and i love his colour scheme and design overall. I think the character that i have given him is great for him and and would be easy to Rp (which i do alot and have always wanted a JBD rp), do lot's of digital and traditional art, and write stories about. The fact that he is Kiwaro's brother just makes me love him even more. Overall, this is my new dream JBD!

A big thanks to Monster. for doing the wonderful art of Kiwaro poking him in the nose, the first head-shot and him with the firefly
And another big thanks to Dewey for the picture of him sitting being adorable (above his likes and dislikes), the one of him saying ''im never wrong'' and him looking at a snail
