## **Backstory**

**Jake Peralta** is extremely intelligent and calculative, but this factor is dwarfed by his more comedic factors: he is incredibly immature, childish, laid-back, carefree and wisecracking. He has excellent detective skills. **Jake** revels in catching criminals and solving puzzles, and proves himself to be great at doing this on numerous occasions. He does admit that he takes his job seriously - he thinks that all that matters is putting away the bad guys, and is otherwise ignorant or lazy to any other activities in his job. He loves movies and games - he frequently displays his love for the **Die Hard** film series, and enjoys giving himself flashy nicknames and elaborate backstories as if he were the character in an 80s action film.

He has a sarcastic, wisecracking, childlike sense of humour, often joking even in the most serious of situations. **Jake** is a good man, empathetic and striving to help people he cares about, and is often deeply affected if he feels he's failed at protecting people in the line of duty. **Jake** works really hard to make the citizens of **Los Santos** feel safe and protected at all times on and off duty as he takes immense pride in doing so and wouldn't trade it for the world, **Jake** is a family man and has been ever since his dad left him when he was young to start a new life as all **Jake** had was his single mother that it was his duty to care for and love.
