Clothing Specifics:
Jesse is happy in denim jeans and a t-shirt. He doesn’t wear tight clothes or overly baggy outfits, he prefers to keep in to a more popular and current male teen fashion. He’s an Athlete, though, incase that matters fashion wise. At Harborage, they have rules on the clothing.
Modesty is expected. No tight, provocative, or suggestive clothing or spandex may be worn.
No provocative or
suggestive mannerisms are permitted.
Fresh undergarments are to be worn at all times. Boxer shorts of any kind are
considered underwear and are not to be worn as outer clothing.
All clients must be dressed appropriately in clean,
unwrinkled clothes when leaving the house for the day.
Men may not wear any jewelry (other than a watch and a wedding band) unless approved through a C.O.C.
The clients may not wear Abercrombie and Fitch or Calvin Klein brand clothing, undergarments, or accessories.
Men: Shirts are to be worn at all times, even while sleeping. T-shirts without sleeves are not permitted at any time,
whether worn as an outer garment or an undergarment. This includes ³muscle shirts² or other tank-tops. Bikini-style underwear is prohibited.
Personality:
•Jesse is a kind, loving guy!.
•He is fun and likes to have fun.
•Athletic, he’s on his High School’s track team, plays baseball for the company his father works for, plays basketball with his dad a lot.
•Jesse is Christian, he believes in being kind to everyone who doesn’t give him a reason to hate them.
•He isn’t overly sexual. Jesse doesn’t search for porn online or buy dirty magazines, because he never felt attraction toward women. The feeling he had toward people were strange, and he kept thinking he would grow out of it. Not to say he won’t laugh at a dirty joke every now and then, but his main focus isn’t on sex.
•He wants to be the guy everyone can go to when they need help, but he often isn’t. When he gets put into Harborage it is so far outside his element he finds himself neither a leader of a follower until he meets Troy, then he becomes more of a follower.
•Jesse treats everyone as equals. His church taught him to, a lesson they apparently forgot to teach his parents.
•Jesse is gay, but he doesn’t act girly or anything else stereotypically ‘queer’. He likes guys, that’s all. He doesn’t think that should make him different from anyone else. He doesn’t want to be a girl, he doesn’t want to dress like a girl, he is simply a man who likes other men.

Pose Ideas:
Basically, I am looking for scenes. Scenes from or relating to the story to fit Dare You To Move by Switchfoot.
I need scenes for:
“Everyone’s here” (a bunch would work. Could be Jesse’s High school, Harborage campus, anything! I could use scenes from the story fitting this in a lot of places)
“Everybody’s watching you now.” (Could be just a bunch of eyes staring at Jesse who’s looking nervous)
“What happens next” (a bunch would work, looking at a church, looking at his parents, looking at a piece of paper, his closet… anything!)
“I dare you to move” (a bunch of different scenes! This line repeats a lot. Could be Jesse on his own, looking down. Could be Troy looking defiant.)
“I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor” (Again, I need a lot because this repeats. It could be Jesse ON the floor during his asthma attack, could be just his hand and the mysterious hand that takes his)
“Like today never happened before.” (a bunch of them. Could just be Jesse walking away from Campus, could be him at home being outcaste)
“Welcome to the fall out” (I’m thinking these could be scenes where April dies)
“Welcome to resistance.” (a bunch, maybe some with Troy! Troy fits that line)
“The tension is here.” (Maybe some with Jesse and Troy)
“Between who you are” (maybe just Jesse, smiling, happy, dressed in something like in the avatar picture, or maybe a baseball uniform)
“And who you could be” (Jesse dressed in something ‘appropriate’ for Actions for Love.)
“Between how it is” (Maybe Jesse watching his parents with their disappointed looks, in his Harborage clothes, all sad)
“And how it should be” (How his family was in the beginning! Happy with each other, maybe his dad and him playing ball)
“Maybe redemption has stories to tell” (Maybe Jesse starting up his Blog)
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell” (Could be when Jesse dropped from the asthma attack)
“Where can you run to escape from yourself?” (Jesse Running! Possibly)
“Where you gonna go?” (I kinda want one of Troy and Jesse looking at 2 doors. 1 leading 2 the campus, one leading out.)
“Where you gonna go?” (Same sort of thing… this repeats a lot, too)
“Salvation is here” (Not sure about this one. It could be a lot of things, but I DON’T want it to be his home or Harborage. MAYBE it’s the teen center? “Keep Holding On” Maybe it’s his blog, maybe it’s just OUTSIDE his window!)
