## Character

### Personality

While Jake had a natural charm and was quite adept with a crossbow, he also had a morbid fascination with death and the macabre. This made some of the other campers uneasy around him, but Jake didn't seem to mind. In fact, Jake was quite assertive in his beliefs and opinions, never afraid to speak his mind. He had a sharp wit and a silver tongue, which he used to his advantage in persuading others to see things his way. And thanks to the blessing of Eros, he had an extra tool at his disposal: charm-touch. With a simple touch of his skin, Jake could persuade almost anyone to do what he wanted. It was a powerful ability, but he tried not to abuse it. He knew that it wasn't fair to manipulate people against their will, even if it would make his life easier. Jake was still quite popular among the students. He had a charisma and confidence that drew people to him, and he was always up for a good time. He loved to flirt and tease, but never took things too far. He had a certain respect for boundaries, even if he did enjoy pushing them from time to time. And while his fascination with death and the darker side of life may have been unsettling to some, it was a part of who he was, and he had learned to embrace it.

### Appearance

Jake's lean frame stands at a height of 6 feet, with broad shoulders and a strong jawline. His complexion is slightly pale, giving him an enigmatic and brooding air. His black hair falls in tousled waves around his forehead, with streaks of grey adding an air of maturity beyond his years. His black eyes are piercing and intense, revealing an unwavering determination and a sharp wit. His eyebrows are thick and expressive, rising and falling with his moods, adding to his already striking presence. Jake's button-down shirt is always neatly pressed, and the dark grey dress pants he wears complement his sleek and sophisticated style. The leather boots he sports are rugged and well-worn, with a scuffed finish that hints at countless adventures. The crossbow he keeps in his boot is a finely crafted weapon, with intricate details and a polished wooden stock.
