Jacob Rincon

Jacob is one of the 3 main characters in Disgraced Moon.

## Character Detail

Jacob is a librarian living in Gatimah who happens to be best friends with the prince, Andi Truesome. What is special about Jacob is that he's half-Gatiman and half-Earthen, having a father from the United States on Earth and a mother from Gatimah. He grew up in Southern California, only occasionally visiting Gatimah, and moved to Gatimah full-time when he was 13. He joins the expedition to resurrect the dead Queen as a service to his best friend and due to his own personal grievances with the Truesomes.

## Appearance

Jacob has medium-length black hair that is parted in the middle with side-swept bangs. Usually, he wears his hair in a low ponytail. His skin is a light tan tone and he has red eyes. He is notably tall, standing 6 feet and 3 inches, and has a strong jawline. His base outfit consists of a pink button-up, a brown vest with a gray hoodie, brown pants, brown shoes, and brown gloves.

## Personality

Jacob is thoughtful and standoffish, and can seem cold and brooding to anyone who's not familiar with him. He has an affinity for the more mundane aspects of life, such as reading, cooking, and stargazing. He's extremely careful, always opting to be as safe as possible in a dangerous situation. He doesn't care so much for "honor" in a fight if it costs him or his comrades their safety; he's not afraid to run away or hide even if it makes him a coward. While this can be a useful trait to have, it also serves as an obstacle to him progressing his magical abilities. His fear also gets in the way of helping his friends when they need him.

Jacob's family and friends are deeply important to him. He was very close with his family on earth and maintains a strong relationship with his mother in Gatimah. He has stayed very close friends with Andi since their childhoods. When he is in any kind of relationship with someone, he becomes very devoted to maintaining the relationship and making sure everyone is happy. If nothing else, his main goal in life is to keep everyone he loves safe.

Despite being a safe person, Jacob has an air of mischief to him as well. He will rebel and cause trouble alongside his comrades and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He'll joke often with his friends and even has a hidden talent of flirting that he doesn't use very often. Jacob is, overall, a fun-loving and down-to-earth person who wants the best for the people around him.

## Abilities

Jacob's primary ability is to conjure red, semi-translucent shields the guard himself and others. He has a stricter limit on his powers than other conjurors due to his earthen heritage, so he has to be very strategic about how many shields he summons and where he uses them. He has few offensive abilities, such as conjuring spikes on his shields.

## Relationships

### Andi Truesome

Jacob met Andi when both were children, and the two quickly became best friends. Andi played a key role in making Jacob accustomed to Gatiman life and teaching him how to act around nobles, since Jacob spent a lot of his younger years in noble circles. In his teenage years, Jacob developed a crush on Andi, which he still has as an adult within the canon of the story. Jacob holds a great deal of admiration for Andi, and goes out of his way to spend time with him.

### Miranda Orcha

Miranda starts off as a bit of an annoyance to Jacob, and he doesn't trust her right away. However, as the story progresses, the two grow closer and develop a friendly relationship. Jacob and Miranda share some common ground due to both of them originating from earth. Jacob feels a lot of concern for Miranda, since she possesses no magical abilities and can't defend herself, so he will often use up at least one shield in battles to make sure she is safe. Their friendly relationship takes a hard blow after Miranda's actions place Andi in danger later in the story.

### Morih Clarimond

Jacob and Morih are acquaintances who know each other through their friendships with Andi. When they met as teenagers, they butted heads due to disagreements about Andi and his decisions. Over time they inadvertently grew a bit closer, but never quite became close friends. Jacob holds some regret over this, wishing he could have been closer friends with Morih. He doubts Morih feels the same, however.
