Jace West

Jace West, the awkward music kid who lives for music, and fails at any socializing.

Backstory
Jace grew up with wealthy parents. His mother helped run a family company, and his dad was police chief. This meant that whatever he wanted growing up, he got. But Jace's wishes were typically simple. Musical instruments, CDs, records -- anything music related.

From a young age, his mother had pushed him musically. He learned to play the guitar, the drums, and the piano from her, and she had even taught him how to sing. Soon, he was taking daily lessons to improve himself. His mother, who had always dreamed of having becoming a famous musician or actress, pushed her dreams strongly onto both Jace and Ash.

However, when he was a sophomore, he was awoken one night by his mother saying that she would be leaving for a while. She presented him with a yellow beanie and her old guitar to remember her by. After that, she disappeared and he hasn't talked to her since.

Things with his dad were bad after that. Whereas Jace's mother pushed the arts, Steve West didn't have his head in the clouds as much, and pushed sports and education more. This caused a lot of tension in their relationship to the point that the two can barely be in the same room without arguing anymore.

Still, he stuck with his music. Pursuing it, bettering himself with it, and always while wearing the yellow beanie.
