Background

Jude is old enough to remember that he had his Mom to himself until he was around six and that they lived on Persephone, but he never knew who his father was. According to his Mom he was dead. When Jude was six, Charlene met Dean, a young farmer from Jiangyin who had come to Persephone to buy produce. They hit it off and she agreed to move to Jiangyin with him. Dean accepted Jude as his own and he even grew used to calling him Dad, but then more children arrived. First Cian, then the twins Morag and Megan. Dean couldn't help preferring his own son Cian and Jude felt pushed aside more and more. He grew into a rebellious teenager who hung out with other bad boys in the nearby larger settlement. He began imitating some sort of rock star chic with lots of leather, dyed his hair and learned to play the guitar. Charlene didn't know how to make him feel better about anything or convince him that college would be a really good idea.

One day Donna appeared at the farm on Jiangyin and the whole story finally came out. In her youth Charlene (left) had a brief love affair with the shepherd Stephen_McManus that left her pregnant. But while he was willing to support her and the child financially, he wasn't ready to give up his vows for them. She raised the child on her own for the first years, naming him for Saint Jude, the patron saint of lost causes and when Jude was old enough to ask questions, decided it was better to tell him that his father was dead rather than that he wanted nothing to do with him.

As the years went by Jude lived his life on Jiangyin, unaware that his father was alive and racked with guilt. When the shepherd caught a deadly virus, he confessed everything to Donna and asked her to find his son and check on him. After digesting the initial shock, Jude was happy to accept Donna's invitation to spend some time on the Guan-Yin II to find out more about his father from people who had known him and also get to see something of the verse that way. He might just stick around for longer...

Appearance

His weedy built makes Jude appear taller than he really is. He has a thin face with full lips and a pair of large green eyes, flecked with gold. He has an impressive mop of -very- blonde hair that falls almost to his shoulders though one closer look is enough to realize that it's growing black at the roots. Skinny legs in very tight fashionably ripped black denim are stuck in clompy black biker boots. He's wearing a nearly white tank top that exposes some cheaply done tattoos on his shoulders and upper arms, including a very visible one of the Browncoat's logo on his right upper arm and one of Che Guevara on the left upper arm.
