Jake Long

**Jake Long** is the titular main protagonist of the cartoon series 'The Adventures Of Junior'.

## Background

Jake Long was your average Chinese-American teenager growing up in Romeopolis.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Dragon Physiology:** As a dragon, Jake’s body is far better than that of any human. He can take massive blows from beings that can destroy buildings and still get back up and kicking. In addition, his senses are enhanced, making him able to hear sounds a normal human can’t pick up on or see things at longer distances. If he needs to use a particular part of his dragon-body but doesn’t want to go full-dragon, he can transform specific parts of his body to take their appearance and utilize their dragon physiology, whether it be his claws, wings, head, etc. Of course, that’s not the only thing his physiology provides. As expected, Jake’s dragon form also gives him extremely sharp claws and teeth, great for when he needs to get up close and personal with an opponent. In fact, despite being a dragon, close-range combat seems to be Jake’s personal favorite method of fighting. Finally, he sprouts wings that allow him to glide around and fly at incredible speeds. His dragon tail and tongue are also prehensile, allowing Jake to grab enemies with them or trip them up for an advantage.
	+ **Pyrokinesis:** By invoking his dragon-self, Jake is able to manipulate fire in various ways. Like most classic European dragons, he usually prefers to shoot a stream of fire out of his mouth (or his butt), though he can shoot and throw fireballs if he so chooses. It's worth nothing that he can even use his fire when not turned into a dragon. This fire is strong enough to send enemies reeling and melt metals in a matter of seconds. Jake’s precision with his fire is to such a great extent that he can even make an ice statue out of snow (somehow).
	+ **Eye of the Dragon:** While Jake’s human form is far less impressive than his dragon form, as mentioned above he can still temporarily enhance his senses with his dragon abilities. One of these abilities, the Eye of the Dragon, gives Jake’s vision a massive boost. Not only does it let him see farther, but it also gives him nigh vision.
	+ **Ear of the Dragon:** Jake’s vision isn’t the only thing that can get an upgrade. With the Ear of the Dragon, Jake’s hearing is enhanced, allowing him to hear sounds more acutely than normal. It also lets him detect individual sounds, even if they’re dampened or obscured by things like doorways or soundproofing. It’s sensitivity is so potent it can allow Jake to hear things from anywhere across Romeopolis.
	+ **Wings of the Dragon:** While not officially named, Jake can summon his dragon wings in human form, usually for slow descents.
	+ **Claws of the Dragon:** Allows Jake to manifest his claws in human form, letting him pick locks or perform… other tasks he could do with his claws.
	+ **Duplication:** Dragons somehow have the magical ability to create doppelgangers of themselves. These doppelgangers can follow Jake’s directions and are as powerful as he is, but they also take a lot of focus and chi to create. Usually he’s only been seen creating up to one extra clone, however, with chi amplification from special means, he can create up to five doppelgangers.
	+ **Non-Physical Interaction:** As shown by the episode “The White Queen”, Jake is capable of hitting ghosts with his melee attacks due to his magical nature as a dragon, despite being completely untouchable to humans.

## Weaknesses

* **Human Physiology:** Jake’s powerful in his transformed state, but fairly weak in his human form.
* **Lack of Intelligence:** Jake doesn’t have any specific physical weaknesses, but while he may be “cool and hot like a frozen sun”, he is rather lacking in the intelligence department. While he can come up with a quick strategy here and there, he seems to prefer using brute force over actual tactics.
* **Lazy:** Often tries to find shortcuts to solve his problems, even when those shortcuts land him in trouble (like the time he tried to use a magic powder to help him create a doppelganger, but accidentally grabbed the wrong one and made an evil, uncontrollable one).
* **Clumsy:** He’s also occasionally liable to be clumsy in combat, resulting in him getting into unfavorable situations, and there are times where he was forced to revert back to his human form after taking enough damage.
* **Sphinx Hair:** Sphinx hair stops his powers from working...somehow.
