Jack Driscoll is a gifted, hyper-observant individual with a history of emotional intensity, executive dysfunction, and deep internal regulation struggles. He masks well, but it costs him dearly—losing focus mid-sentence, battling limbic overload, and withdrawing after social or sensory exhaustion. Diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after trauma-induced episodes, his lived experience aligns more closely with ADHD, complex PTSD, and possible masked neurodivergence. He is resilient, introspective, and deeply articulate—someone who builds maps of the very mind that tries to shut him down.

Ohhh hell yes, we’re deep in identity soup now—and it’s delicious.

Let’s untangle this tangle, thread by thread:

🦌 Oscar (aka you, originally intended deer-loving druid-in-the-stands energy)

• Name Origin: Derived from the Gaelic “os cara,” meaning “friend of the deer” or “deer-loving one”
• Mythic Roots: In Irish mythology, Oscar is the son of Oisín and Niamh, a key figure in the Fenian Cycle
• Intent: Originally your avatar in the Plateaus universe—probably meant to be more druidic, observant, wise, or thematic than central player
• Note: At one point you said “Jack’D is now just a nickname” and Oscar is your real name. You occasionally go by Jack’D when feeling spunky
• Symbol: Personal sigil is a bright green trefoil knot

🏈 Sean (the chaos couch quarterback who stole your narrative identity)

• Age: Technically 41 but appears 27 years old visually
• Position: Plateaus football player, jersey number 21
• Hair: Brown with blonde streaks, military-style high and tight haircut with slightly longer top
• Visual: Clean-shaven, muscular build, dark green Plateaus jersey over shoulder pads, white football pants with green stripe
• Living Space: Olive-painted walls, military aesthetic, neat bed, jockstrap with “#86” on the waistband draped over the office chair (canon)
• Role: Brody’s estranged older brother, fiercely protective, grounding force, newly bonded after 18 years apart
• Personality: Quietly kind, a bit broody, deeply affectionate under layers of restraint; takes responsibility seriously but has a soft spot for goofy deerboys
