mentions of : death, murder .
to start with jude, it really starts with his parents. his mother, jessamine, was a daughter of phobos born into an affluential and influential korean-american family. her family were well connected and had big names deep in their pockets, since they pretty much served the one percent and helped clean up their bullshit in a blink of an eye. they had the money, the means, and other people willing to do their dirty work. it boiled down to wealth and power, so they didn’t really care who they screwed over (most often innocent people). she attended nemean lion the year it opened, was the resident it girl, and left a few years later to france and later to south korea, to expand her family’s firm over there. little did she know, a fellow demigod (aka her future husband), kiha, also attended nemean lion at the same time. he was the child of elpis and stayed only for a year, since got accepted into law school in south korea and decided to dip.
after getting her license to practice over there, it became very evident why she was her family’s pride. earning herself the nickname ‘ the butcher of busan ‘ during the years spent by the seaside city, corrupted politicians and ceos notorious for being pieces of shits (for a lack of a better term) knew exactly who to go to to make sure witnesses shut up and retracted their statements before trial as well as (primarily) intimidation tactics using her ability of fear manifestation. judges who were in her clients pockets also swayed rulings in her favor and she was practically untouchable, until a certain judge was in charge of her case. that judge was the youngest in south korean history district court history, and it was kiha. he did not buy into her trying to get him to work in her favor (countless eyelash battings and attempts at flirting), he was by the book and very strict in regards to his moral code. his ability of hope manipulation also played a big role in determining his rulings, because he had a bullshit radar built in pretty much and oh boy, did it go off around jessamine. his views and perspectives ultimately swayed her own, and she realized she was no different than the monsters her family helped protect. both realizing they were demigods (because of the tattoo), they realized they had so much to bond over. love worked in funny ways, and they both did fall in love.
their relationship was as secretive as possible, in fear of getting trouble with higher ups for potential bias and special privileges on both parts. rumors began to swirl around, as they do, and the couple just decided to say screw it (in the nicest way possible, at least on kiha’s end) and it became a known secret of sorts that the lawyer and the judge were together. because jessamine provided help to powerful people, she turned on them and gained powerful enemies instead. they were freaking out considering everything she knew about them and were getting worried that she would out them. they were also worried that now she was against them, kiha would be able to protect her and rule in her favor aka against them and their ugly asses would be rotting in prison (as they should be!). so what did they do? plan to kill them both.
it didn’t take either of the couple to realize they were being watched, and they became more concerned once jessamine realized she was pregnant. being watched and followed eventually turned into outright stalking, and an incident when someone broke in while jessamine was home alone was enough for them to flee for their safety. despite kiha’s best efforts to remain hopeful, jessamine was aware who her enemies were and that they were unavoidable. money could make anyone do practically anything, and the safest place the parents knew they could be was back to nemean lion. with some of their trusted connections, jessamine gives birth secretly and safely, and leaves back to los angeles within weeks. despite all the risks, she had to make sure her son was safe. but, like mentioned before, money could make anyone do practically anything, and when the wrong people offer the right amount, her trusted allies betray her in a bat of an eye. it doesn’t take long for them to catch the next flight to california.
it was really out a scene of a fucked up movie, but both parents were spotted and literally hunted down on their way to nemean lion’s borders. jessamine and kiha both knew that this was the end, that they won’t be getting out of this alive. so, with the last amount of energy she has, jessamine hides a newborn judah (who, she named after her religious roots, and kiha used his father’s name for his middle name) in a shoddy little area hidden by leaves and branches. a few feet away, however, his parents were eventually brutally overkilled and left there. nemean lion attendants, who were rushed out after hearing the commotion, where completely shocked at the scene. they saw something moving under a pile of leaves and were shocked to find a little baby, only some weeks old. they are able to verify the identities as former nl students and knew right away that someone had taken their lives, but could not bring themselves to ever tell jude this. so, it was covered up as a monster attack (because, even though people did this, in their eyes it was no different than what a monster would do) and jude was raised in nl since then.
judah goes by jude, judah is specifically reserved for when he’s doing something he’s not. he was raised in nl his whole life and has been pretty much here since his parents passed away nearing the end of january 2001. because of that, he’s known as nl’s official baby! his parents were in their 30s during the time of their death and a proper funeral occurred at nl. jude pretty much knows nothing about the truth of the incident and the people who took care of him (i’d say nl’s infirmary, janitors, and in general older staff) prefer to keep it that way. it would just be too much for him and they don’t even know how to begin that conversation. jude feels a little weird about his parents. he loves and misses them, but he doesn’t know them at all so it’s a little ??? and most times he can feel a little indifferent. but that’s really because he doesn’t know how to really feel? he is primarily inspired from so mun (the uncanny counters), naruto uzumaki, fred jones, jake peralta, and jason mendoza. if i could sum his personality up in a single photo it would be this one. despite having abilities fit for a track, he is in the standard role cause he doesn’t wanna do all that <3 nor think <3 but, he does train and occasionally work with other tracks (notably hero) as a personal trainer since he’s a gym rat and buff as hell. he’s super chill, laidback, and rly just here for a good time! extremely chaotic in a good way and an official member of nl’s himbo (jimbos <3 the jimbros <3) line. chugs gallons of women respecting juice daily. you can hear someone screaming ‘JUDAAAAAH’ once a day 10/10 for sure cause he’s. yk. doing something he shouldn’t be? but he gives us that smiley face and everyone is like alright. understood. so he gets away with stuff p well. super into pbs nature docus and judges the fuck out of people who doesn’t hold doors for people (like what r u...some heathen freak?). does nl have a ghost hunting club? no? well jude just started one and goes on weekly adventures to catch some ghosts. zak bagans shits himself when jude shows up me thinks! he wants to leave nemean lion some day? just not sure when and like, how (and what is he going to do out there????) but so far he’s pretty fine with being here.
