Patrick Cummings

Patrick Cummings is a character from Jade Growing Up Again and is a class Spanko Parent, assigned by the government to care for convicted criminals as per Rejuve Universe  culture.

Origin
A Government Worker and supportedly very quiet man, Patrick Cummings actually works for Custom's performing inspections and was amongst the first to be notified of the arrival of Offworlders to be sentenced and tried as pennies. Good friends with a Number of government officials he is often kept in the know on important issues involving trade and customs and his official reports contribute to the cases made against outsiders and refugees.

In his youth, three rejuves ago, he was present during the massive plague that ravaged Paradiso. At this time Rejuve Technology was only new to the colony and all those who could be successfully rejuved turned out female, even when the emergency rejuve chamber was not used. At the time he and his wife had children under the age of five who, infected by the disease could not be rejuved without killing them due to the technology still being experimental. After losing their children he and his wife Jennifer signed up for the rejuve parenting scheme and became  Penny parents.

Perri Cummings
It is interesting to note that during his cycle as a woman Patrick was known as Perri and actually became a successful model. This still has influences on him today where people actually recognise the name and ask for autographs.

Currently
Having been working in customs and having past experience in dealing with off-worlders, as well as hard case pennies, Patrick and his wife were on a shortlist of people to handle the incoming prisoners and were assigned the two girls due to personal preference.

Since then Patrick has had little to do with his young charges because of work, but has still formed an affectionate bond with the pair, even regailing them with stories of his modelling days and spending time helping them with their schooling.
