related characters
Scaede -- Jones' employee Scaede works in Jones' store. Despite how lazy and unmotivated the boy can be, Jones gratefully leaves him to the customers and the register as he'd rather not scare anyone off himself.
Potato -- Jones' pet Potato is a chubby blue budgie who Jones bought as an impulse buy. She's pretty spoiled and loves attention, as well as apples and most importantly, Jones.
about
Jones was made because I really wanted a skeleton-y OC after reading a friend's how-to-draw-manga book... I think. The only time how-to-draw manga books have ever proven themselves helpful to me, too.
story
Jones used to be a very successful businessman, but was away from home often and his wife and childhood love was having affairs with other people. He found out and stormed out of the house to cool off and think of a way to work this out with her, but slipped on the ice and broke his neck, dying on the spot. The more powerful the emotions of a ghost are, the more present they are, and in Jones' case he was so emotional he practically reverted back to being alive, although with the handicap of having no face and no memory about previous events.
He has a knack for remembering useless trivia and how to get a business running, which proved itself handy after a very fruitless search for work (he kept scaring customers away at the McDonalds). He bought his pet budgie, named Potato, to keep him company.
personality
Jones is a pretty sweet and gentle person and very self-conscious about his appearance. He's a very lonely person and he feels as though something is missing from his life, he just doesn't know exactly what. He values his friendships immensely, and can easily be pushed to do things he doesn't really want to do if he feels it is for the sake of a friendship.
