## Character

### **Personality**

Jacob is slow to trust anyone and is quiet and shy around people he doesn't know. Jacob isn't proud of the fact that he doesn't like to talk but can threaten others he deems as untrustworthy at the speed of sound. But, he does stick up for people who are being mistreated even if he doesn't quite know them. He can be seen as mischievous, loving to pull pranks on his hall mates, joking around, and causing a little chaos but he does know when to stop messing around. Although Jacob thinks it is strange for a child of the god of war, strength, honor, law, courage, and justice to be pulling pranks, he always says that he is doing them courageously. At first impressions, Jacob is the chill older-brother figure. To many, he is the one sensible guy in the room. He thinks before he speaks or acts. He’s reasonable, always looking for a middle ground and sensible decisions in strife. In tense situations, Jacob always seems to be able to say something useful, whether it’s a comforting phrase or a bright idea. Snark and sarcasm go hand in hand when it comes to this guy. Jacob's speech is often riddled with sarcastic and snarky commentary, as Jacob likes to speak his mind. He's a very straightforward and open person – there's no doubt in what he thinks about anything. Although sarcastic, Jacob is surprisingly calm. He's seemingly unfazed when it comes to anything. Difficult situations and odd occurrences don’t trip him up. Rather, he tends to lend an open mind towards such events, and if problematic, will try to rationally solve it. However, he pulls this off in a way that looks like he doesn't care. In a sense, this nonchalant nature of Icarus is essentially his defense mechanism. He thinks that if he's calm and relaxed, he'll look non-threatening and generally an approachable person. It's his way of making people like and trust him – by giving himself a sense of predictability and order. Unfortunately, that external calm masks a storm. Behind, Jacob is a tense, worried young man. For Jacob, life is stressful. Dude has a truckload of family problems, leading to his abandonment issues and general melancholy. Being one born to die has also led to some alienation and ostracization. At every turn, Jacob finds something to worry about. He can’t envision a fulfilling and stable future for himself, and that thought terrifies him. Although he gets good grades and has a good circle of friends,

Jacob sometimes feels empty and unmotivated. As much as he wants to protect his friends and family and be a good solid support for them, Jacob isn’t certain about what he wants to do, what he wants to achieve, or what his purpose for himself really is. However, Jacob hates being pitied or being worried about. It irks him. He feels patronized. It makes him feel pathetic, which makes him think he’s more detrimental to others than helpful. Also, as an older brother figure, it’s his job to do all the fussing-over stuff. So he would do no matter what to make others believe that he was okay. Thus, he disguises his feelings of unease and confusion, and fear of the future so he could make people trust him properly. This, of course, leads to his sense of false self-confidence. Jacob tries to act like he's capable of anything, so he can radiate confidence. Through practice, Jacob has found the perfect balance between compassion and self-confidence. He’s not seen as a weakling with a heart-too-pure, neither is he seen as cocky and abrasive. Rather, Jacob portrays the chill older-brother figure role with grace. Someone aware of himself and his own intrinsic value, but also someone who visibly looks after others. Unfortunately, Jacob can get so wrapped up in the idea of “conceal don’t feel” that he refuses to deny that anything is going wrong. He gets panicky, and he gets stressed. His anxiety gets the best of him. Finally, Jacob finds his story way too provincial. He dies, gets revenge and returns to life in the span of an afternoon. There’s no chance to get out and explore the world, and meet new and interesting people. Jacob feels trapped in the boredom and predictability of his story, which is already set in a place he is far too familiar with (his home). However, the thought of escaping from his current life and doing something just for himself scares him. It’s unnerving to him, as he doesn’t like the idea of uprooting everything that previous generations worked for. Jacob is a boy with a short temper, often getting into fights. It seems like he’s always angry. He does not trust everybody immediately. but if he gets to know you a bit better, he will be a friend.
