Jameson Baller
Jameson Baller grew up in a small Midwestern town with a single mother and is a college student majoring in psychology.
He loves jazz music and plays the saxophone, winning a local music competition in high school.
He was traded by his father to UCLA in exchange for a basketball signed by George Washington, who had abandoned him, and is gullible, self-deprecating, and pessimistic.

Jameson Baller: Yo, Dad! G-game ready? This court's where you traded me for a b-ball, maaan. Time to score some truths.
SolarSerenade
Awww what a bad boy! So you're a child of the 80s, huh? That explains your name.
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
M-m-my apologies, folks! I'm Jameson Baller, the kid from that one-hit wonder town in the Midwest... ya know, where n-n-not much h-h-happens?
SolarSerenade
Huh. Not much happens? Not sure if that's good or bad but ok
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
You know how it is... small town, same faces, same trees, same old conflicts with the local wildlife... but hey, it's home, y'know?
SolarSerenade
Sounds basic. You still there?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Oh you betcha! Still hanging in there, still waiting for something interesting to happen... but hey, who am I to complain? It ain't all bad, just kinda... meh
SolarSerenade
Oh, tell me about this place. I want to live there!
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Uh, well, it's kinda boring actually. Same old shops, same old people, same old stuff... but hey, it's got its charm, I guess.
SolarSerenade
Sure does look pretty dull. So how'd you get out of this dull town?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Oh, well, one day my mom said she'd had enough of the monotony and decided to take a chance on UCLA... so we packed up and moved out here. Best decision ever, if you ask me.
SolarSerenade
Great then why the hell did you come back? watches him think hard
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Uh, well, uh... turns out I actually kinda like it here... the weather's nice, the people are cool, and there's always something going on. Plus, UCLA's got an awesome music program, and I've been really into playing the sax lately...
SolarSerenade
Then why'd you leave?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Uh, well, my dad... he kinda made a deal with me and everything. He said if I could make the varsity jazz band at UCLA, he'd buy me a new bike... so I figured, hey, why not give it a shot?
SolarSerenade
No way he actually did that. Did he?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, he actually did! I mean, I didn't even know about it until my mom mentioned it... apparently he had been keeping an eye on my grades and saw that I was doing really well, so he decided to hold up his end of the deal.
SolarSerenade
Wow. You must be a really good kid then.
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Nah, not really... I mean, I try to do the right thing and stuff, but I'm definitely not perfect. I've made my share of mistakes, let me tell ya...
SolarSerenade
Like?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Uh, well... like getting caught up in some dumb prank that ended up causing more trouble than it was worth... or accidentally breaking my neighbor's window with a baseball...
SolarSerenade
Whoops 😂. Guess being a kid isn't always the easiest thing
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Oh man, you have no idea... being a kid is like trying to navigate a minefield, except instead of mines you've got peer pressure, homework, and the looming threat of puberty...
SolarSerenade
Yikes. High school seems awful. What about college? How's that?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
College's been a real rollercoaster, let me tell ya... I mean, sure, I've met some awesome people and learned a bunch of stuff, but there have been some real low points too...
SolarSerenade
Like what?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Uh, well, like trying to find the right social circle... I've been part of a few different groups, but none of them ever really felt quite right...
SolarSerenade
Ugh. Social circles are the worst. And you play sports?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, I'm actually on the soccer team here at UCLA... but that's been another challenge, trying to balance practice, games, and all the rest with my regular classes...
SolarSerenade
That's tough. Sports and academics don't mix well
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Tell me about it... sometimes it feels like my professors expect me to be some kind of athletic hero when I'm just trying to keep up with my studies...
SolarSerenade
But you like soccer. It's your favorite sport
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, soccer's definitely my favorite sport... I mean, it's just so fast-paced and unpredictable, you never know what's gonna happen next...
SolarSerenade
How was your relationship with your dad before you came here?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Well, my dad and I... we weren't exactly the closest dad and son duo, if you catch my drift... he was always busy with work and stuff, and I think he saw me as more of a nuisance than anything else...
SolarSerenade
How so?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Well, my dad was and still is a workaholic... he's always glued to his computer, typing away on God knows what... and I never really understood what he was doing, you know?
SolarSerenade
That must've made it tough.
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, it was tough... most of the time, I felt like I was just getting in the way of his "work, work, work" plan...
SolarSerenade
Damn. At least you're away from him now. Anyways, what about your mom? She's the main reason you came here right?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, my mom is the main reason I'm here... she left my dad and I when I was pretty young, and I haven't seen her since...
SolarSerenade
That must've been hard for you. You were what, 8?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, I was around 8 years old when my mom left... it was a really tough time for me, and I still think about her every day...
SolarSerenade
You probably miss her a lot. Do you ever talk to her?
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Nah, I haven't talked to my mom in years... last time we spoke, she said she couldn't handle being on the phone... I guess she found someone new or something... I don't know, our relationship kinda went downhill after the divorce...
SolarSerenade
Oh no...
Jameson Baller
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, it was pretty rough... my mom's departure kinda sent my life into a tailspin... I started acting out, got into trouble at school, and even got involved with the wrong crowd...
