Habits

Blue Collar Tradesman : Jay is good with his hands and typically finds employment as a tradesmen; often construction work depending on where he can find a job
Tinkerer : Call it being thrifty or just being broke so often that you're more accustomed to making it work rather than doing without - Jay's the guy that collects the broken cast-offs that people don't want and fixing them up. Whether it's fixing someone's carburetor for a lift somewhere or repairing someone's dryer for a load of laundry, he likes to help people and pay his own way with things.
Crafty: When Jay's not tinkering machine bits and tearing apart old cars and trucks, he likes to put his hands into making stuff that's usually. Typically this is in the form of metal-worked weapons like simple tomahawks, blades of various sort and the occasional spear.

United Salvage : Jay started working at the United Salvage Yard a few months ago, helping to clear the place up and do some of the work that Old Man Johnson and his Boyz (tm) either couldn't handle or didn't want to.
