( jack kilmer. 24. male. he/him ) —  i just saw ( ulysses hall ) walking past plaça de catalunya. they are a ( “programmer”/con artist ) from ( salem, massachusetts ). people say that their ( pragmatic, logical + levelheaded ) personality is admirable but their ( compulsive, detached + circumspect ) side lets them down — the theme song of their life must be ( j'ouvert ) by ( brockhampton ). [ penned by jules, 19, pst, he/him ]

hey y’all! i’m jules, and i’m gonna put a little sparknotes on my boy below the cut, but for some basic info on ulysses head here for stats + stuff! feel free to message me here to plot, or hit the heart and i’ll message you, but your best bet to reach me is on dis /// cord at jules#6504 !!

ulysses was born in salem, mass., into deep poverty. his parents struggled with mental illness and addiction throughout his childhood, and he ended up acting as the parental figure for his two younger sisters

he was a pretty serious, quiet and frail kid, and only came out of his shell with his childhood friends, chris and nix. they got into some trouble growing up, but spent most of their time in a clubhouse together, finding refuge in each other’s company

things started to change in high school when chris and phoenix started dating, and ulysses became the odd one out — he had a terrible crush on nix, and it was pretty painful watching them be all lovey-dovey, so he started to pull away from his friends

instead, he threw himself into computers. he found out he had a real knack for them, building computers from parts he found on the cheap, getting a part-time job at a little computer repair shop in town, and got good at it

things got a lot worse at home then, too — the hall family had lived in a trailer growing up, but they lost the trailer when ulysses was about 16, and ended up homeless for a few months. his dad couch surfed while his mom and the kids lived out of their broken-down station wagon before they got into a housing project. ulysses hated feeling so desperate and helpless, feeling like he was failing his sisters by not taking care of them despite being a child himself, and it ignited a drive in him to take care of the people he loved at any cost

ulysses ended up graduating early, wanting to leave town and go make something of himself. he ended up getting into a pretty bad blow-up fight with chris when he left, with her and nix feeling like he was abandoning them (and in a way, he kind of was)

he ended up moving to cali and getting a compsci degree. a couple things of note happened while he was out west: he met a guy who’d end up being a long-term boyfriend (andre, from santa monica, kind of boring but rich and sweet), and he started getting sick

he’d always been a frail and sickly kid, but he started getting really sick in college. he wasn’t taking care of himself as well as he had, and the stress took its toll. he started passing out, sleeping much, much more, etc., and not longer after graduating, he ended up in the hospital

one hospital visit turned to two, then three, then they started extending as he got sicker and sicker. he was initially diagnosed with iron-deficient anemia, but when they put him on supplements, he got worse. he ended up needing several blood transfusions, which caused a near-fatal buildup of iron in his body, ending with his spleen needing to be removed

he was eventually diagnosed with thalassemia, and when they figured out how to treat him, he recovered quickly, but by then he was in deep, deep medical debt — even with a good, stable silicon valley job, he was barely staying afloat, and couldn’t send money back to his sisters, which was the whole point

chris and nix ended up visiting him, and by then, they were running their own cons. ulysses asked to join them, seeing the money they were making, realizing he could pay off his medical debts and start saving for his sisters to go to college if he worked with them

they’ve been travelling since, running cons and scamming wealthy people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. since reuniting, the three of them have begun a polyamorous relationship, though loosely defined between them

i think? that’s it? though if you have any questions or anything definitely ask! i have to get ready for work so i can’t do much more but i’ll put up a wanted connections page as soon as i can! i can’t wait to get a chance to write w y’all uwu so def message me/like this/something so we can plot!!!
