## General Information

Jacob Styles is an Officer for the LSPD, Badge **#233**.

Jake stands at a height of 6 feet and has a solid build of 195 pounds. Although not bulky, he hides a significant amount of muscle beneath his clothes. Despite his strength, he doesn't look imposing and instead has the ability to blend into the background, a skill he honed in high school to avoid other kids.

His boyish face boasts a soft nose and high cheekbones, while his jawline is square and strong, and his chin is prominent. His short brown hair is carefully styled, with an obvious use of a lot of hair product.

In terms of personality, Jake is slow to open up and requires patience from those who want to get to know him. He can come off as awkward, as he tends to take everything at face value and often misses sarcasm. In chaotic situations, Jake always chooses the most grounded response, which can make him appear humorless until he feels comfortable with someone.

Jake does not partake in drugs but doesn't judge or avoid people who do. He hates cigarettes and smoke due to an incident with his father. However, he does indulge in heavy drinking, though by 1980s standards, he would not be considered an alcoholic.

## Biography

> *"Loneliness is a strange companion. It creeps up on you slowly, until it becomes a constant presence in your life. You try to ignore it, or even fight it, but in the end, you realize it's always there, lurking in the shadows. Maybe it's meant to be that way. Maybe we're all just wandering souls, searching for connection in a world that's always changing. Or maybe it's just me, and I'll always be alone." --Jake*

## Background Information

The life of Jacob 'Jake' Styles is a tale of resilience in the face of hardship. Born to a Naval family in 1959, Jake's upbringing was marked by the frequent absences of his father, John, and the close bond he shared with his mother, Rose. Rose acted as a buffer between Jake and his father, who was known for his strict demeanor.

Sadly, when Jake was only ten years old, his world was shattered when Rose was diagnosed with liver cancer. The disease acted quickly, taking her life just weeks later. The loss of his mother was a devastating blow to Jake, who struggled to come to terms with his grief.

Forced to travel with his father until he was eighteen, Jake's nomadic lifestyle left him feeling isolated and introverted. Moving from place to place made it difficult for him to make friends, and he failed to connect with his peers in high school.

It wasn't until he started working as a prison guard in Florida that Jake began to come out of his shell. The work was tough and challenging, but Jake found a sense of purpose in his job. His kind and empathetic nature made him popular with the inmates, and he developed close relationships with some of them.

It was through his work at the prison that Jake met Sara, a paralegal and Law School student. The two hit it off immediately, and their relationship grew quickly. Jake's openness and complete lack of judgmental behavior won Sara over, and they were married just six months later.

Jake was happy with his life in Florida, having finally found a sense of belonging and stability. However, Sara's desire to constantly move forward and climb the social ladder put a strain on their marriage. She saw Jake's contentment as a lack of ambition, and he couldn't seem to convince her otherwise.

Their arguments became more frequent and intense, and eventually, Sara filed for divorce. Jake was heartbroken, but he didn't want to fight anymore. He wanted Sara to be happy, even if it meant giving her everything they had built together.

With just enough money for a ticket and a small bag of clothes, Jake left Florida for Los Santos, hoping to start a new chapter in his life. However, the divorce and another move only reinforced his old feelings of transience and social awkwardness.

As he settles into his new life, it remains to be seen whether Jake will be able to overcome his traumas and find happiness once again. Only time will tell what the future holds for Jake Styles.
