Jared is a medium build teenager, he has inherited his father's ability to make peculiar faces and uses this to his advantage. Jared is usually seen in a hoodie and a band t-shirt coupled with jeans. There is the rare occasion when he will go out of his way to make himself look ever so slightly presentable. These times are very far and few between and he doesn't enjoy them either. Jared likes feeling comfortable in what he's wearing (or what he's not wearing, to be precise.)

Personality
Jared is a lot like his father in many ways, for example, Jared's puntuality - or lack there of. Jared is often late for things, often it's no more than an hour, but that's bad enough. Jared usually ends up being late due to his lack of organization skills, or just because he can't be bothered to get up and do something. Jared's not necessarily lazy, but he's far from being the most responsible person in the world. Jared knows he has responsibility, as a musician and a organizer. Jared is often only on time for something when he's going to clubs. He's used his father's reputation to help himself build a career in the music business, and he refuses to live off his dad. Jared is determined to make it on his own out in the world. He was raised specifically in Chicago with his mother, Ashlee, but moved to L.A because he thought it would hold better career options for him. Jared's father protested, but he still went, and he doesn't live with his father either.

Jared is a very happy person, most of the time, he has a bouncy personality and he's very open minded. Jared isn't the most empathetic person in the world, he's often very snappy or harsh just because of his rushed personality. Jared is always trying to live life in the fast lane, and he doesn't feel like slowing down any time soon. Jared's desperate to live his own life away from any expectations and he tends not to hang around with celebrities that much. Jared doesn't really have any close famous friends, but if he does then people can be assured that Jared finds them very endearing and very genuine. Jared understands how horrible the industry is, whether you're a model, a singer or anything else. It's very difficult to find people who are truly genuine and don't act genuine only to dump you in shit at a later date for their own publicity.

Unlike most teenagers, Jared gets along well with both of his parents, even if they don't really get along with each other sometimes. As a child Jared was generally stuck in the middle, as his parents were always on a very on-off relationship. Jared prefers his father over his mother, as any male teenager usually does. Jared and Pete get along well, basically because Pete acts like a teenager most of the time as well. Sometimes Jared gets mad with his dad, mostly because of his father's depression. They do argue on occasion, and they know it's often best to be out of each other's way. Jared hasn't lived with his parents since he was fifteen years old, at which point their relationship started looking up. Jared knows full well that he's around about the age where if the depression is heriditary then he might get it. He's constantly aware about this, and he's trying to make sure that none of that happens to him. Jared is a very positive person about life in general, and is aways willing to hand out advice, which can be seen as bad advice to some people but Jared does have everyone's best interests soley at heart... and sometimes his own.

Jared has a temper much like his father's as well. He might not be the biggest person there is, but he starts fights easily. Jared is worried that as he grows older and more like his dad, that he'll start fighting with him more and that their personalities clash. This is unlikely to be the case though, due to the fact that Jared will never be the same as his father is. There are very large and specific details that make them alike, but equally there are details that seperate them from one another. Jared doesn't want to grow up to be like his father, although he recognizes the fact that there are huge similiarities between not only their personality but their upbringing. Both Pete and Jared were both brought up into the hardcore scene, and both were in hardcore bands. Jared understands that of course there will be things that are the same, but he is conscious of the fact he will never be his father.

Unlike a lot of celebrity kids, Jared doesn't like being in the lime light. He'd rather stay at home and watch television or a movie with his friend than go out and get piss drunk. Jared however, unlike his father, is not Straightedge, although he does fail to see the point in using alcohol to cure your problems when it only makes it worse. Jared drinks socially, but never really in excess. Seeing Jared drunk is a very rare sight, but a very humourus one at that. Jared is also a strict vegetarian, although he has attempted to go vegan, Jared just cann't stay away from dairy products though. Jared, as the son of someone from a multi-platinum selling band, has done work with PETA, although it hasn't really been that recognized. Jared also works for charities that his father supports, such as Invisable Children.

Jared can play the drums, the bass and the guitar. He regularly see's his father's best friend, Patrick, who Jared has managed to get vocal lessons off of as well. Jared knows he's lucky to have such a lifestyle, but he tries not to abuse it. Sometimes Jared does, and he's worried that being the son of someone who's famous will damage his personality. Sometimes Jared thinks he'd be better off in Chicago, but he can't really help the family that he was born in to. There are good points and bad points to being famous. Jared tends to way these good and bad points up and often see's the black and white of it all, and somtimes fails to see the big picture. He has been in glossy magazins before, but he doesn't get a huge ego boost out of it, although Jared will never deny it's not nice to be recognized. Jared enjoys people knowing who he is, but he has done his best - and seemingly succeeded - in being independant and seperate from Jared Wentz who is the son of a musician and Jared Wentz who is a musician on his own terms.

Jared is an extremely opinionated person, he won't resist in telling someone to 'shut the fuck up'. He has a mouth like a sailor, as described by himself and his father. Jared is the type of teenager who swears at the dinner table, swears at his parents, and would swear in Church if he ever bothered to attend. Jared is an Atheist, and doesn't believe in God or heaven and hell. Jared isn't afraid to stand up for himself, and has sworn at the police before. Jared was arrested when he was sixteen, but let off for being a minor. Jared has little to no problem with expressing his feelings openly on something. Jared likes to use who he is to make valid points - to point out that music is subjective and that the world is such a fickle and dirty place. Jared is often sickened by humanity and will sometimes lock himself away.

Jared cannot deny that during school he was a popular kid, he managed to make people laugh and that seemed to offset the fact his father was in a band that many people considered to have 'sold out'. Jared often brushed this off, saying that he would surely pass people's hate messages along to his father's band, 'Sell Out Boy'. Jared takes it all rather well, considering, and he doesn't like to let other people dictate his life. Jared has worked for The Live House for almost two years now. His band are regulars there, and he organizes a lot of the things that go on there. He manages, through this, to get connections, but, of course, has met some people he would have rather had remained an enigma inside of his head. Jared takes the job with the up most seriousness though, although he does enjoy it a lot.

Jared is on good terms with his little brother, Deryck. Jared and Derry get along extremely well, the pair of them used to be a lot closer than they are now. Jared is now on tour a lot with his band, and he moved out of the house when he was fifteen, at which point Derry was only twelve and was already playing in a band. Jared is protective of his little brother, and more than once has appeared - just as a coincidence - at a club where people who have made comments about him attend. Needless to say Jared is relentless in telling them where to shove it, whether they're talking about his brother, his family, his friend, his brother's friends or anyone remotely related to him. Jared would do anything for Derry - infact, he'd probably drive himself off a cliff if Deryck asked him to very nicely. He's just that kinda guy.

Jared is a very loyal person, he's seen the kind of people in the world, and not just in the industry. People in general are usually assholes, and Jared does make friends quite easily, so he's constantly aware of people around him. He has a rather sarcastic sense of humor - one that can stretch to being sadistic. Jared is a very upbeat, strong and polite teenager... but he's also a very aware, very paranoid, very secretive young man. Jared is on the fence of just about everything now - on the fence for his band, his long-term career, and more importantly, on the fence about hw the media percieve him. Is Jared a self-destructive, violent young boy? Or a lonely little boy who needs help? Probably the former, actually. Jared is an independant person, and he enjoys life and lives it to the full.

History:
Jared was born in Chicago to Ashlee and Pete, a few years before their move back to Los Angeles for recording purposes. Jared is the first born child, and his parents were fairly new at upbringing a child. Jared was given a little too little discipline and came to take advantage of this as he grew up. However, all things considering Jared was quite a good child. He was naughty, but he was very good at convincing his parents otherwise. It's a technic that Jared still possesses to this day, and one that he enjoys using. Jared was two years old when his mother fell pregnant again - of course, very aware of the sibling rivarly that would follow, Ashlee tried her best to convince Jared he would still be loved very much. Jared didn't take to this though, and coupled with his terrible twos tantrums, really began to get on his parent's nerves. Ashlee and Pete argued a lot and Jared was the main reason - Ashlee was very hormonal, and Pete was quite angry at how his son was turning out. The two argued very badly one night, which ended with Pete smashing their back door and leaving briefly.

Pete returned three days later and the pair acted very much like nothing had ever happened - but Jared had witnessed it all and he still remembers it to this day. It's the only memory he has left of being a little kid, because it was probably one that influenced him very much. Jared has never told anyone about what he saw that day - the things that were said between Ashlee and Pete - the accusations that meant very little at the time that mean everything now. Jared stays out the way of his parent's relationship now. For some reason Jared has a feeling they're only staying together for Deryck and it's a ticking time bomb. His father wasn't supposed to be tied down like this, and now Ashlee has given him two sons Jared understands that their relationship has reached the end of it's tether.

Jared was a popular boy at school, and he won't deny it. He doesn't ever say to the media or in interviews that he wasn't liked a lot. Jared was a football player, and he was well known and well liked at his school. A lot of people tried to take him down using different methods, the most popular being to attack his father or his friends. Jared came to learn to ignore this. Jared was something of a class-clown at his school, and he earnt the nickname 'Joke' from his initials, JK, which is a popular online abbreivation for the word 'joke' or 'joking'. It fell in well with Jared's personality, and he has fond memories of being at high school. Jared sometimes used his status for bad things - he would look down on the other kids, the outcasts as they liked to call themselves. However, Jared found that the people who were outcasted at school were generally subconscious attempting to it themselves, whether it was an attempt to be 'non-conformist' or just to think to themselves that they were an outcast. Being popular is un-popular at school, it's all about being an outcast. It was peculiar, because Jared managed to become the popular outcast yet the outcast of the populars. Jared enjoyed high school a lot, unlike many people.

At the age of fifteen, during his junior year at school, Jared decided he'd had enough of his parents. Jared and his father got on reasonably well - he was taught the bass by him at the age of ten, and then taught drums and vocals by Patrick later on in life. However, Jared noticed his dad doted upon Deryck in an attempt to bring him closer to him - but he went about it the wrong way, attempting to bribe Deryck by using things like his Clandestine bass, which noticably got handed down to Derry and not Jared. Jared doesn't blame Deryck for being the one doted upon, but he did blame his father. By the age of fifteen Jared convinced himself Ashlee wasn't his real mother and that his father was a selfish twat. Not long after a huge fight the pair had, resulting in an actaly physical fight between the pair of them, Jared moved out to live with his best friend, and band-mate, George Lydon.

Jared's band started to get big two summers ago when they played Warped Tour. It wasn't long untill they were playing huge venues with capacities up to about ten or eleven thousand, and sometimes selling those shows out. Jared is over the moon about the band's success, but still looks upon it as if they are still that band that used to practice in the middle of the hallway and recorded their first ever EP in their bedroom and bathroom. Jared loves his band, and his does love his fans as well, even if they are bit cultish. Jared understands he can't present himself to the world like other people can, but he tries to be an honest, lively, energetic front man. Jared enjoys spicing things up a bit, and had encouraged odd electro songs, rap songs and the like onto the album. Jared was born and raised on Hardcore, but, like his father, wanted something more, and now plays what critics call 'the lovechild of electro-rock and indie punk'.

Jared's band is called Xerox, and formed six years ago. It was only last year that they recorded their first album, Fane, which continued very violent songs describing a woman who would indulge in adultery and sexual exploitation before returning to her rich, wealthy husban only to feign being a very devoted, hard working housewife to her husband, who was also cheating. When asked if the lyrics were based on people that Jared knew he simply told them he'd seen it happen through his years, and hinted that it was the way people - himself included - may percieve his family. Jared admitted he had 'lost touch' with his family since the band started to get big and he wasn't 'concerned' about it. The band quickly released a second album, entitled 'Sta Gold', which consisted of songs thy'd written and performed live but never recorded. They toured both albums heavily, but not long later Xerox were involved in a van accident, severely injurying their drummer and left their bassist with fatal injuries. Jared and the band tried to do everything they could - George, who was the same blood group as their bassist, even donated blood in an attempt to save him. Their bassist passed away six months ago, however, and the band have not yet brought themselves to be able to replace him, they have, however, denied that they were going to break up. 'The four of us were the best of friends... we made a pact to do this band together... but now one of us can't, but that doesn't mean the dream is dead,' Jared told Alternative Press. 'We want to make music to dance to, music to cry to, music to feel safe to, music to laugh to... if we gave up now we'd be giving up on Tom... this isn't the end.'
