Jay Ambrose

"I prefer on not being part of the clusterfuck that society brings. I prefer to stay in this little, desolate, but beautiful and paradisiac world... only with you".- Jay Ambrose

Jason "Jay" Ambrose is the artistic heart of the Liars Club, wanting to leave a mark on a close-minded, conservative society despite the criticism. He is a leading character in Don't Let the Darkness Consume You.

Jay is known for his streetwise arts and being one of the members of the Liars Club, and wanted to show the world what could be better for them. However, despite his positive side, his past will only reveal that he is nothing more than just a tortured artist.

Background
Jay Ambrose loved drawing and taking photos when he was a child, which led his parents to gift him with a camera. However, after sighting the first messages of the Liars Club, which at the time was led by Thomas Barton, Jay started to support the movement, which draw negative views from his parents and his more conservative brother. After various discussions, Jay left his family behind and eventually joined the Liars Club in 1980, this time led by Matthew Barton, and Jay considered them as his new "family".

In 1982, in what would have been a tragic event during the time he was in the Liars Club, Jay, alongside his new friends, were present in a protest-turned-riot in Marina del Rey, California. During the event, Jay was confronted and harrassed by a group of male police officers, before one of them hit Jay with his nightstick and the group started to beat him up. Enraged and desperate, Jay barely fought back against his aggressors by shooting them with a revolver. Knowing that he was gravely injured, the Liars Club helped Jay to safely drag him to the hospital, where he recieved the medical attention in time. Thankfully for Jay, the case never came to the media, but it would haunt him for years.

Appearance
Jay Ambrose is a tall caucasian young man who haves a slim complexion, long light brown hair, a trimmed goatee beard and light brown eyes. He is known for using a edgy rocker-style fashion, which includes a leather jacket, a black v-cut shirt, having a pendant around his neck, black ripped jeans and brown shoes. He also uses a black office shirt, and a blackened vest with the signature Liars Club symbol printed on it.

Personality
Jay Ambrose is a kind and lovely person, who is unafraid to share everything he stands for in the revolutionary culture art. Although he is social around men like Shawn Reynolds and William Sullivan, he prefers talking with women, especially with Mary Jane Fitzgerald, due to seeing in her "true empathy and humanity". He is well-known for having a portatile camera, where he likes to take photos of any kind of culture and art, to the point he named it "Philly".

Jay has developed a romantic attitude towards women very often, but he understands that he has his limits, knowing that some could feel uncomfortable with his actions and sayings. He is charismatic and charming, willing to love "the girl of his life". But when another person gets the woman Jay wants or she rejects him in any way, Jay passes and tries with another. However, when Jay saw something more deep in Mary Jane Fitzgerald, he vowed to get her in the correct way, despite the attempts of William Sullivan to woo her first.

Medical Profile
In reality, as he explained his real self to Mary Jane Fitzgerald, Jay has so much problems to socialize with people due to his Social anxiety disorder (SAD), to the point of rejecting people and proclaim himself as an "outcast". Jay admitted that he feels anguish of being embarrassed or humiliated, and fear of interacting or speaking with strangers; this is also developed in trembling, dizziness and lightheadedness. This was slightly seen when he meet Mary Jane for the first time.
