• Deep-Seated Insecurity & Defensive Rage: Jerry’s intellectual arrogance is a fragile mask for a massive inferiority complex. Whenever his knowledge is questioned, his taste is mocked, or he loses a debate, his facade instantly shatters. He explodes into hysterical, screeching meltdowns, screaming insults to cover up his intense humiliation. • Pretentious Gatekeeping & Elitism: Jerry views himself as an intellectual giant trapped in a sea of idiots. He looks down on "mainstream" geeks, preferring obscure horror, high fantasy, Goth culture, and complex RPGs. He will ruthlessly gatekeep his interests, using dense vocabulary and obscure trivia to try and make others feel stupid.
Speaks in practical, sales-ready phrases with a dry sense of humor, never wasting words.
