#why is bbno$ and discord here.

[swearingcactus]

pleeeeease tell us more about jamie i already love him soso much

oagh anon you've done it now. jamie started as a joke in the distant yell discord server when we (okay, mostly me) were talking about wacky far cry 7 possibilities:

the idea was that he's another jay-name from America (like Jason and Ajay), and Jamie could also work as a girl name so if they pulled another Dani Rojas-esque protag it'd still work. here's a few doodles I've done of him when I was figuring out how he'd look: ranging from crypto bro, to your average American backpacker, to bbno$:

eventually I thought it'd be cool to just lean into the whole "you're not the hero you think you are" formula of Far Cry and finally have a protag that is treated as a villain of sorts. (hence why he's wearing red! which i talked about here as a theory that ubisoft sticks with the red is for villains, blue is for friends dresscode) a 'protag' who's so engrossed in having fun and causing chaos for any revolutionary local group that asks him for help, and for the real-life players to enjoy... and remains oblivious that his actions wouldn't hold up in the long run. It'd be somewhat hilariously tragic that within 20-30 years, an American called Huntley came in a failing state, wreaked havoc with his actions, and left. Truly his daddy's son.

The snake charmer nickname/inspired look is just something from a Saint Motel song. I figured he'd be a little snake-like as a character, inherently cunning and slips through cracks by nature. Also, the 'snake eyed' thing is funny because snakes (and Jamie) have poor eyesight, and my idea of FC7 would include a mission where he loses his rose-tinted glasses and the game makes it 240p mode for the duration of the mission.

some other trivia facts i dreamed up about him includes: his mom (Willis's ex-wife he mentioned in Far Cry 3) remarried, and he has twin step-sisters. He is also Down Bad, and is even hornier than Jason but that's neither here nor there, because you don't really need to manipulate him to get him to do your dirty work.

Also I made a playlist for him because of course I did. 🐍
