Jake Burnett is an anthropomorphic canine living on Earth in the American City of Dystopolis. He is dating April DeCoi, and in Axiworld's Future Canon the pair are married with two children: Jamie and Jackie. Jake is most infamous for his and April's escapades in eating, with the two cited as having nearly put the well-liked Gold Star Buffet out of business on their wedding night.

## Appearance

Jake is short for his species, but he prided himself on taking care of his body... that is, prior to getting in deep with his girlfriend April. In both the present and future canons, he is overweight, though this weight has skyrocketed in the Future Canon thanks in large part to April's efforts in feeding him. Jake's unusual blue, yellow and black fur is a distinct product of his time period; the colour combination serves little practical use in the wild, though it does suggest that Jake's ancestors frequented forests and lakes, patrolling sand and gravel beaches to hunt and scavenge.

Thanks to America's lenient laws on fur and clothing, sufficiently furred people such as Jake are permitted to go about 'in the buff,' though Jake will often wear clothes at work or official gatherings.

Jake possesses above-average night vision, hearing, smell, and taste, the latter of which often leaves him enraptured when consuming rich, bloody meats. His bite is extremely powerful and allows him to tear through most foods with ease, making him a fast and brutal eater when pushed. Jake is, however, not voracious, and is quite timid, putting other people in no danger of being bitten.

## Biography

Jake was born to a middle class family in the country outside of Dystopolis. He was exceedingly timid and antisocial as a child, but positive experiences and relationships in high school and university helped him overcome much of this shyness. Jake studied Economics at Dystopolis U and spent his early 20s earning a Master of Financial Economics degree from the same university and interning at local financial investment firms. He was also a particularly active participant in University-hosted inter-mural sports leagues during this time. Out of graduate school, he accepted a full-time position at Raoul and Sons Financial, a small firm that has since seen healthy growth. Jake remains loyal to the firm in the future, and holds an executive position within the company.

Jake met his future wife April at the age of 20 during a Business Faculty social event. After a brief dalliance, the two found their lifestyles incompatible and fell out of touch for a few years. Jake reconnected with April at 25, and the two began dating soon after. The couple became engaged a year later. Though April's intense extroversion continued and has since continued to contrast heavily with Jake's quiet demeanor, love apparently has found a way with the couple, and they have been relatively happy and stable since they started dating.

The fact that the two remained together is especially impressive given that April did not wait long before exposing her boyfriend to her intense feeding fetish. Aside from her own overeating, April took delight in feeding Jake, a passion which Jake initially resisted and subsequently tolerated in restrained doses. Eventually though, the habit caught up with both Jake and April, leading to visible weight gain in both. Finding himself at a crux, Jake ultimately let his love for April win over his weight worries, and accepted the feedee lifestyle. The couple are more conscious about their weight in the future, despite both weighing much more than ever. With their most active years behind them, both agree that they need to plan for a healthier future, and Jake has started fitting much more exercise into his schedule, a task he enjoys thanks to his history of physical activity.

Jake and April marry and have children not long after their engagement, and 18 years later, Jamie and Jackie are now students at Dystopolis U. Jake has continued to work during this time, though April has spent years on and off as a stay-at-home mom, before eventually founding a catering company that has seen moderate success in the Dystopolis area.

## Notable Appearances

* Jake and April have had several comics dedicated to them and their children, though due to the characters being Pokemon based at the time, some of these comics are now considered non-canon and are in need of redoing with the Burnetts' new appearances in mind.
* Jake and April are frequent subjects of art-related events hosted by Axlwisp. These events began with JnA Day on September 8th 2014, and have included JnAuary, which as the name suggests took place in January of 2016. These events tend to correspond with redesigns or major weight changes on the parts of the Burnetts, with JnA Day establishing the 120 lb gain that now differentiates future from present Jake, and JnAuary resulting in a 190 lb gain for April.
* Jake appears as an NPC in the non-canon fangame ***Axugaem1***, helping his wife April run an Inn in Axuguu Town.

## Trivia

* Though Jake was initially a fan-character based on the Pokemon Lucario, he has since been reworked to be an ordinary canine anthro.
