## Physical description

### Height

6'5"

Jacke is a virologist at AJHQ, member of the Twisted, and roommate of Leonardo Akuma. He works in the lower Layers and studies the various infectious chemicals and diseases that the company produces, from jam to juice to who-knows-what!

Jacke has appeared on the blog a total of two times ever, but with your contributions, we can bring him back! He has also appeared in stories outside of the blogs.

## Appearance

Jacke is an anthropomorphic Jack Russell terrier who has been dramatically modified due to exposure to jam, causing his mouth to stretch all across his body and onto all three of his hands, as well as his accordion-esque arms that bend in horrific ways to an overabundance of joints in them. His tail has also become much longer and curls at the end. His arms can be straightened if you iron them; do with that info as you will.

He usually wears black browline glasses, a dark blue Hawaiian shirt with pink flowers, dark blue pants, black shoes, and a light blue jacket. He gets the majority of his clothes from Gucci (not sponsored), yet no one has any clue where he got the money for it...let's be honest, though, The Boss probably pays him way better than she does the other employees.

## Reddit

While Jacke's internal structure is relatively unknown to those outside of his main circle, his own notes and research on the processes of his body are very telling. He is a scientist, after all, regardless of whether or not he acts like it.

His lungs, rotted and contorted by the effects of jam, process the usual carbon as well as a separate, black mass of spores that cluster together to produce the iridescent chemical known as Reddit miasma. This, Jacke presumes, is his body's fucked up version of cellular respiration. Whether or not the process requires oxygen to be completed is unclear, but most plant matter that goes near his body dies and rots at a quicker speed than normal.

What doesn't die to Jacke will die to his Reddit spiders, usually being given to the Hive to increase both the spiders' and Jacke's power. This, along with other products of Reddit spores, build up and litter Jacke's apartment. Because of this, he avoids going outside and interacting with others face-to-face, usually making others do it in his stead.

## Personality

Jacke is a stereotypical Redditor, making frequent references to Reddit and holding the wretched website on a *very* high pedestal. He takes his career on Reddit incredibly seriously, celebrating his Cake Day and valuing the opinions of other Redditors...usually. Sometimes, he does. Other times, he argues with them like his life depends on it.

He can be melodramatic at times and is generally very informal, especially considering the fact that most of his hours are spent confined in his shitty Reddit apartment. Isolation doesn't have a good impact on anybody, but especially not a person like Jacke. Though first impressions may make you believe he's serious, he's far from it, and whether his eccentricity is caused by jam (plus some severe mental trauma) or a natural part of him is a mystery. He does lots of things purely for shits and giggles, as any Redditor would.

...Also, he's a misogynist.

## Lore

### On Earth

Jacke was originally a normal dog, similar to The Boss, who lived on Earth. During his time there, he was forced into dangerous situations for comedy videos by his abusive owner, and this eventually caused Jacke to run away and land himself inside one of the buildings.

While still in the form of a regular dog, he wandered into the Hive, consequently enduring ascension. The Juice in his body (which turned him into a furry) is what kept his physical form more intact than those of most creatures exposed to jam.

### In Locus

Jacke's job in AJHQ is officially a virologist, however, he mostly just hangs out in the layers closest to the Hive (that don't pose a risk of him giving someone else a disease), as well as his slimy apartment. He claims to do this out of respect for others' health, but we all know it's because he hates dealing with other people and avoids social interaction whenever possible.

Jacke is favored by The Boss, possibly due to being the only other dog from Earth turned furry in AJHQ. Because of this, he's one of the few employees allowed internet access. He uses this mainly for Reddit and watching anime. His hefty paychecks are most likely how he affords all of his anime streaming service subscriptions.

At some point after the events of the Sexyman Massacre, Jacke met Leonardo, and they now live together. Life is mostly business as usual, but with an extra weirdo involved. Y'know how shit is.

## Relationships

### Leonardo

Jacke and Leonardo are currently roommates, and it's an incredibly complicated ordeal. Though they fight more often than they reconcile and generally seem to dislike each other, they are very much...close, and keep a decent balance. Jacke would never dare admit it, but something about Leonardo sparks a unique rippling compassion in his soul. He wishes only to ensure Leonardo's happiness, and if that means eliminating anything getting in his way...well, it's not his place to act. Leo is, after all, just his roommate, and nothing more. Never. He's not a fucking (HOMOPHOBIC SPEECH EXPUNGED).

### Oops

Oops was the horrendous fusion of a Reddit spider and regular house spider, trapped in the confines of Jacke's apartment, and has stayed in contact with Jacke since growing up and leaving the nest. They have a pretty obvious father/child dynamic, and Jacke relies on Oops for advice with social situations and general daily life.

### Reddit Spiders

The Reddit spiders are a massive colony of hat-donned mixtures of Reddit slime and common spider that live inside the disgusting walls of Jacke's apartment. They regard Jacke as their father and leader, protecting him with their lives. Intruders beware.

### P\*nder

Hey guys, MaskedAmigo here. I'm making this as a response video to something this stupid guy made—fuck if I remember his name—about religion. As you know, I'm openly agnostic, but I learn more towards skeptic atheism and the way this guy puts his beliefs on a pedestal and shuts down others totally pisses me off. So without further ado, here's my response to "Why You Should Join The Hive!!!!!!"

...It's complicated, Jammers.

## Trivia

* Jacke is based on Jack from Twisted Whiskers
* Aspects of his personality were taken from Okabe Rintaro, the protagonist of Steins;Gate. In-universe, Jacke is a SciAdv fan, and may or may not mimic Rintaro on purpose. Similarly to Rintaro, he loves monologuing and sounding "like an anime character," something he undoubtedly took from the man. They're also both mad scientists, but Jacke's work is a lot more practical.
* He's probably never eaten an apple before. Just a fun fact for you all.
* His Reddit username is u/TheMaskedAmigo and he actually keeps a decently balanced Karma score, despite his constant fights with other users.
* He has his own subreddit because horror YouTubers fucking love him, but he just uses it to post about his life and shit
