Stuart Jacobs is a character role-played by Ashortsigh on the TSRP GTA V server

## Description

Stuart "Stu" Edward Jacobs is often seen in the company of at least one other member of staff from The Scene. Rarely is he by himself, and this is a choice that he makes. He likes to listen to his friends, but can be shy to get to know people and has trouble talking in groups... or alone, though he is more comfortable in a one on one situation.

he is an emotional person and has been known to cry openly and sometimes act irrationally if his emotional state is in turmoil.

he is fairly nervous and although he tries to maintain his composure, growing up in a much different environment (Clinton, New Zealand and Auckland) with far less crime, the violence and emotional drama of Los Santos has taken a toll on him that he doesn't always open up about, not even to his Girlfriend Mary Lamb or his best friends April Vonkeaton, Gale Truesdale and Keith Wellington.

## Background Information

Stu was born to Millicent Jacobs (nee Harris), an advertising manager for The Dunedin branch of a national Radio company, and Elliot Jacobs, A farmer born and raised in Clinton.

He spent the first 12 years of his life in the small town before moving to Dunedin where he lived with his Uncle and his family so he could attend secondary school at Logan Park High School, known for their theater program, and later Otago university where he majored in Theater and Improvisation he would return home every holiday and weekend to be with his parents who he missed horribly while he was in school. During this time his sister Stephanie was born and he cemented a sibling-like relationship with his cousin Sam

Upon graduation he went home, only to realize that he no longer belonged in a small town and packed what he had and moved to Auckland to pursue his dreams in acting. While he achieved a little success in finding work as an uncredited extra on Shortland Street he couldn't seen to get any substantial work and instead worked as a copywriter for a small radio station.

His life changed when he auditioned for and got the lead role in a production of Hamlet at a K Road theater. He thought he was moving up, doing Shakespeare in the big city... It wasn't until one of his fellow actors, a woman by the name of Shirley, asked if they would be practicing the sex that he realized that this wasn't what he thought it was. The production was in fact a pornographic version of Hamlet titled... "Hamlet: something hard this way cums". Dejected and at the end of his rope... Stu continued on to see the production through and thus began his 10 years of working in the NZ adult movie industry.

Eventually, and after many failed one way relationships, Stu decided his BIG break would come in The USA. So he packed, and with $900k to his name moved to America to hit it big. While in the air, his Father unfortunately passed away due to a massive stroke. Stu flew home briefly and while he went to the funeral, his feelings of guilt over a fight his father and he had before he initially flew out forced him to leave part way through and never return. He drove to the airport, bought a ticket and flew back to America.

His big break didn't happen. Far from it.

Down to his last few hundred dollars and having suffered countless rejections from those in his industry, he bought a ticket to the newly opened city of Los Santos hoping that he could at least start a life there and rebuild his career.

## Time In Los Santos

Stu's time in Los Santos has been marked with emotional upheavals, tragedy, and a few points of light that he clings to above all else.

Daisy Winchester was his first employer when he was about to give up. And for that reason, even though he only worked one night at the VU he still has a lot of respect for her and would help her if she asked for it, she was even gracious enough to keep him on payroll when he said that he was moving on from the VU.

Getting Hired by April Vonkeaton as the advice columnist for The Scene and given a chance to get away from an industry that he felt he fell into accidentally because it was the only thing there was is the next big moment in his life.

That same day he met Mary, Keith and Gale, The latter stating at the end of the first block party held behind the PP Arcade that he was adopting the four others as his friends being one of the highest points in his life up until that moment. Mary and Keith would become his best friends and helped him through some rough spots over the next week or so.

It was within a couple of weeks of that happening that Stu began to notice that he was developing feelings for Mary. Normally this wouldn't have been an issue except that His other best friend Keith was also, and very obviously interested as well. After a talk with Coach Daniels, Stu resolved to talk to Keith and find out his intentions before talking to Mary, but waking one morning to a city wide state of emergency and fearing for Mary's safety Stu ran cross country to get to her and confessed his feelings. To his surprise Mary didn't balk and that began their relationship. They told Keith, and though it was difercult for him to hear, they came out of it still united if needing space to adjust to the new situation.

The following week he confessed to Mary that he was in love with her, after realizing how scared he was that something could happen to one or both of them, and not wanting her to not know that she was loved.

after a few weeks they moved in to a house In Paleto that Mary bought. That weekend there was a hit placed on April and Coach By Grove Street leader Benny Deiheau which lead to a portion of the Scene staff fleeing to a large Yacht just off Paleto. There Mary and Stu almost took the next step in their relationship, but instead waited until later that week to do so. He also penned his first published "article" for The Scene: An "apology" letter to Benny on behalf of April and Coach, which was published the same day.

After having a Tarot reading from River Trelawny hit him and make him question his suitability for Mary he sought out first April and then, when she didn't respond, Elle Smith to talk to. He choose Elle because she was someone he didn't really know and that made him feel more comfortable opening up to her. He told her about the string of woman he had "dated" who wanted sex, but never wanted more. How he would sleep with them but never really loved them at all and would never say it back to them because he knew they were just using him. He expressed his fear that Mary was doing to him that which he did to all the other woman, and how all he wanted was to hear Mary say she Loved him. Elle was able to remind Stu that even without her saying those words the relationship he had with Mary was 100 times better than any he had had before. He realized he didn't need her to say the words, because he knew she did in fact love him, and that he could give her the time she needed to be able to say it.

shortly after that Elle was shot in an attempted hit on the pier in Chumash. Seeing Marcus' reaction made Stu realize that he never wanted Mary to feel like that... to be sacred that she would lose him, and so Stu apologized for telling Mary that he liked her or that he had feelings for her at all. Mary scolded him and in the moment found the courage to tell Stu that she loved him.

Stu has since begun working as an Advertising sales rep for The Scene, and has started writing small articles to help improve the online magazines coverage of the cities events.

on the weekend of August 21st 2021 Stu began a friendly relationship with Goldie Diggins as he and Mary tried to help her deal with the fallout of events involving Officer Harold Rayner. He was able to gain her trust enough to meet with her and reassure her that The Scene would do what they could to make sure that Rayner and the therapist Goldie was seeing were at least reprimanded for their unprofessional actions regarding Goldie. He was also in the city when Hallelujah Goodwin was taken by the serial killer Smiles. He and Mary helped locate and protect Goldie whilst Tea Cruz was unable to watch Goldies back during the search for Smiles around Mirror Park. Later while Tea and Goldie hunted in a location Tea frequented and they were currently using as a safe place, Stu invited Mary to take a vacation from Monday August 23rd with intentions to return to work by September 1st or 2nd. She agreed and the two planned to visit Stu's home in New Zealand.

Life continued for Stu little changed although Mary was promoted from Manager to temporary C0-Owner of the Scene and then, after his untimely Death, took the place of Coach Daniels as April's Co-owner at The Scene. Stu was promoted to Advertising Manager and the city saw an increase in emigration, leading to a long period of quiet and civility in Los Santos.

On the weekend of November 13 Stu left town unexpectedly for a night. When he returned he and Mary sat down and discussed their relationship. They decided that they needed to take a break as both had things they needed to figure out and work through. Stu needing to figure out what he wanted from his relationship with Mary and her, as he saw it at least, needing to work on being able to open up and be an equal partner. It remains to be seen if they can work through those issues and begin their relationship anew.
