## Background

Jacob lived in Texas, United States during his childhood. He then moved to Japan because his cousin invited him to study to Japan together. His parents accepted the offer and moved him there.

During his times in Texas, he has always loved cowboy movies. He loved the gunslinger-type cowboys instead of those who took care of cattle, so he decided to find himself a gun. He found his father's gun which his father accidentally put in an unsafe location However, he accidentally shot his own house's window and it broke. No one was hurt, fortunately. His father blamed himself for that and apologised to Jacob, then he bought him a bubble gun for him to play, for safety measures.

After studying in Japan, he missed the times where he could ride the horses with his friends and play with his bubble gun along the vast fields.

During his middle school times, he met Hidetaka and The Alpha during their "patrol" and Jacob approached them, not knowing about the delinquents in Japan. Fortunately, he approached the laid-back **Jinya** and Jinya explained to him about the delinquents in Japan and tells him to stay away from delinquents. Jacob instead asks Jinya if he could join them, asking if they are "outlaws of justice". Knowing that Jacob won't get it, Jinya later persuaded Hidetaka to let Jacob join their "outlaw gang".

## Appearance

Jacob has blond hair and a funny smirk constantly plastered on his face. He has a rather messy hair and a messy appearance, trying to mimic a cowboy's appearance. He wears a cowboy's hat often, which varies in color (and he wears it in different weather too).

In his casual wear, he wears a light brown cowboy hat with a brown shirt, a leather belt, and a pair of brown trousers. He wears boots with spurs on it.

In his winter wear, he wears a white cowboy hat with blue lines and a white cape and white shirt, a white leather belt, and a pair of white trousers. He wears white boots without spurs.

His summer wear is surprisingly a non-cowboy clothing, which includes a purple shirt with black rings on the front and the back of the shirt, a black jeans and blue sneakers.

## Personality

Jacob is a kind of innocent and adventurous fellow who wanted to live "the cowboy life". He secretly wished one day he could form or join any form of "outlaw gang" so that he could "punish criminals". He loves horse-riding and hunting. Although he loves being a cowboy, he is interested in Japanese culture and would love to learn them all. Jinya taught him most of it, but he's eager to learn more.

Jacob is cheery and optimistic, as he tends to invite people to the roof and plays his bubble gun. If **Bakin** is around the area at that time, he will ask him to leave, which Jacob usually obliges.

Ever since the accident with his father's gun, he apologies to his father and promises that he won't hold a real gun ever again. That promise is solidified when he gets his own bubble gun, that he kept until now.
