history
Jameson Ross Archer, usually just called Ross, left home at eighteen to attend a university in the city. There, he would earn his bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, in order to be able to apply for the Air Force Academy. After being one of the lucky 1,400 accepted applicants for the year, Ross went through vigorous training and, after many tests, written and hands-on, went on to become a military pilot. However, he only stayed with the force for a short two years before tragedy struck.
During a mission, Ross' plane wing was damaged and the plane went out of control. Ross ended up having to eject from the pilot seat -- almost immediately afterwards, his plane exploded. Debris flew through the air and struck him in his face, burning his eye. Ross passed out from the overbearing pain, and later awoke -- alive -- in the base medical room. Unfortunately, because he was now partially blind, he could no longer fly the plane; he was honorably discharged and sent back home.
Unfortunately, war had left him with a few bad memories. He suffered from severe PTSD and developed insomnia and depression. Though he was given medicine to help, the bustle of the city made him too nervous. His doctors recommended he go to a calmer area, and Ross took the advice and ran with it -- all the way to the Sepalum Peninsula. There, he took a few months to get settled, and since he's moved here, his anxiety has partially subsided. Once he felt ready, he got a job as a cook at the Baccar Inn and Tavern, and has been working there for the last six months he's been here.

- Though Ross' PSTD has subsided considerably, he still occasionally suffers from panic attacks and has frequent nightmares. He takes prescribed medication and that keeps him relatively calm, but in the rare moments that he has flashbacks or attacks, he's like a completely different person -- and somewhat inconsolable.
- Because Ross' whole life was spent getting into Flight School, he wasn't quite sure what to do with himself after he was discharged. When he first came to Sepalum, he frequented the bar and found that they were in need of a cook. Figuring it was worth a try, he applied for the position, and discovered that cooking is something he actually enjoys.
- Despite his issues, Ross is a fairly calm and down-to-earth person. He's also very respectful of elders and his superiors. Most employers would like him, although many of the other residents may think he's too serious and uptight.
