, tattoos&piercings none
, distinguishing features His bright blue eyes and square jaw
, physical flaws His lips are thin, and his eyes almost bulge.
, personal style Casual. He'll wear button-down shirt on occasion, but he loves showing his pale skin off.
, general description Jake is a fairly attractive man. His skin is pale, and his hair is a dark, dark brown. It could be mistaken as black fairly easily. He's tall and his build is rather scrawny. His shoulders aren't as square as you would expect and he has easy muscles. He's not too handsome when he's high because his eyes look sunken and his cheekbones stab out. His hair hangs limply in front of his eyes, which are bloodshot and he looks even paler. But he feels so good, that he doesn't even care what he looks like, even if he crashes an hour later.
His jaw his square, which makes him look mature, and he can't help but be a little self-conscious when he's sober. He thinks his hands are too big, his toes are too long, and that his nose looks crooked. But we see ourselves worse than everyone sees us, right? His lips are thin, and his blue eyes sparkle from either drugs or hidden wisdom. It might be both. But he scares people off with just the way he hold himself. Like he owns the world, almost.
And in his mind, he does.[/size][/ul]

, secrets He's still in love with Gloria, but he knows she doesn't love him.
He only got into serious drugs because he knew he was dying, anyways.
College sucks
, personality Jake used to be a perfect gentleman in high school. Imagine that. He'd hold doors open for girls, help his teachers carry things or tutor younger students in his spare time. He was loving, and kind. People were just drawn to him. Girls were constantly after him for his chivalry. He was like a knight in shining armor. But he only wanted to be a knight for Gloria. He was totally in love with her...
Until the drugs screwed up his life.
When he got into drugs, it wasn't so bad at first. Mild mood swings and fuzzy vision. But after a while, it stared getting really bad and he couldn't hide it from anyone. He'd get snappish and couldn't stand to be in the same room as some people for more than five minutes without trying to kill them. He started hitting his girlfriend and that would break his heart the next day when he was sober enough to call her and tell her he was sorry. But now...
He's never really got both feet on the ground unless he's super-ass sober. Which is rare. He used to go see his parents still spinning on a heroin overdose and they'd think he was just sick. He knows that there's something wrong with him, but he won't admit it. He'd just rather stay happy and enjoy his afterlife while it's still screwed up for everyone else. He's got the tendency to follow Gloria around for hours, just to freak her out. He knows she hates him, but he can't help being obsessed with her.[/size][/ul]

, history
Jakob's father was originally a man who enjoyed 'having fun' with almost every sexy woman he met. But one night he screwed up and ended up knocking up one of the girls. Constance. She called him a few weeks after the affair and told Alexander that she was pregnant. He ask desperately if she has slept with anyone before or after him, but hearing he was her first time since high school, he panicked. After not seeing her for a few days, thinking it over in his head passionately, he decided the only thing for it. He asked her to meet him at the park and Constance did. Being a panicking, but sensible man, he asked her to marry him. She agreed reluctantly, unsure if his womanizer days were over. But after the wedding, not even six months after he proposed, their life was pretty damn good. And when Jakob was born a few months later, they were pretty happy. Although Alexander thought about all the things he was missing out on, he was too happy with Constance and Jakob to ever consider leaving.
So, after all the drama of Jakob's before-life life, he started growing up into a pretty nice kid. His father had mellowed out drastically, and his mother was the sweetest person in the world (at least to anyone who knew her). He was a kind and gentle kid, often getting teased for being so nice in school by the other boys. He didn't mind. It would all come back to bite them in the ass someday. He was always nice to girls and never felt the desire to chase them around the schoolyard like the other kids his age. In middle school, he was as... hormonal as most boys. He could keep his desire to get in everyone's pants down to minimal flirting and acting like a gentleman, which all the ladies loved. They were like a pack of sex-hungry wolves after him, but he payed them no mind. He had vowed to stay as innocent as possible, including dating, until he was in high school. After being there for a few years, none of the girls really caught his eyes. All his guy friends were sleeping with at least two every week, or so they bragged, and all his girl friends were letting said guy friends in their pants. They were just being childish.
But in senior year, there was this cute freshman. Gloria August. Who he was sure he was in love with the moment he lay eyes on her sweet face. He found an excuse to bump into her eventually without seeming too... strong. She was always at the library, so what the hell, right? He found her putting away some books and asked her where the CDs were, since he loved music, and asked what she recommended. She offered some softer music to him, which wasn't really his style, but he might as well try it. He found that he actually did and two weeks later he made her a tape titled 'A Rush of Summer Rain' and went back to the library. He gave it to her after working up the nerve to, then asked her out. She agreed with a smile, and Jakob's heart grew by three sizes (poetically, of course).
So for the rest of high school, then dated and such. Never anything past sweet kisses came from him; he wasn't going to pressure here into sleeping with him. He was patient with her volenteer work, and loved how wonderful it was going. It all seemed so perfect and blissful.
But perfection can only last so long.
When Jake went off to college, he got into drugs and alchohal. First weekend there, and he'd already gotten stoned and hammered and he was feeling like crap, but he wanted to do it again and gain. At first he could hide the raging drunk side of him, but it soon got out of hand. Gloria was yelling at him about it drinking, saying he was hurting his body. He stared at her for a moment, then hit her. They sat there in silence and he went home after a while, feeling numb and broken inside. He apologized over the phone the next day, not trusting himself to be around her. This went on for two or three weeks, the visit, her saying something that should never have provoked him into violence, and after a slap or knocking her around a little, he'd go home. A phone call over the phone, and that was it. But soon the apologies stopped, and the abuse got worse and worse. Jake stopped caring about her, about himself. He didn't give a flying shit about anything, feeling too horrible when he wasn't high to care about anything but getting more drugs for himself.
Eventually, Gloria did move in with him, a stupid move on her part, now that he thought about it. She could have run. She could have called the police. But she chose him over herself, and that was her downfall. He barely even remembered the night he was trying some new contemporary drug and raped her. That had to be the worst night of his life, because when he woke up, sober and puking his guts out, he realized he's just thrown the only thing he'd ever really loves in the fire, and he wasn't going to win it back.[/size][/ul][/color]
