Jake

## History

### Early Life

Jake, alongside his best friend Alice, was a well-known trouble maker in the Upper. There, are numerous stories of the messes the two of them got into during their youth, such as the one Isaac recounts in Inky Extra's Chapter 75. According to him, Alice got her halo tangled in the mane of a cherubim which caused her and Jake to end up chasing it around the Sanctuary in an attempt to retrieve the halo. During the chase they broke many pillars and statues before Alice's mother brought the incident to an end.

Like all Angels, when Jake turned 18 he traveled down to the Surface to complete his Act of Charity. While it is currently unknown what Jake did to obtain either of his pairs of wings he completed his Act with just as much speed as he does everything else, finishing his task after only one week on the Surface (Ch 160).

After his Act was completed Jake returned to the Upper and his mischievous ways. He decided that he wanted to test out his new wings with a race against a cherubim. With no other idea of how to tempt it in to moving Jake and Alice had stolen it's halo and then bolted from it as fast as they could. Over the course of this race, despite trying to stay away from public areas, they broke twelve shops, five parks, two gardens, a library, a market square, three official's buildings, and fifteen homes. As punishment Jake and Alice had to repair all the damages, clean the cherubim's living quarters and do community service in the gardens for the whole season (Ch 191).

Inky Extra's Chapter 113 showcases another incident from the Upper. While attempting to buy a bag of chips from a vending machine Alice gets her arm stuck in the machine. After spending hours stuck in the machine Jake finds her trapped. However, in his attempts to free her he also gets his arm stuck in the machine. Eventually, Alice's other brother, David, finds them and he goes to retrieve Isaac and Michael to free the two Angels. The two do end up freed through the help of some butter but it's not long before the council members find them, dirty and covered in butter. Alice, Michael, Isaac, and Jake are all given punishment chores following this incident.

## Character Description

### Physical Description

Jake is a thin but muscular individual, described as having the body of a swimmer. He has short slightly wavy hair and is considered "boyishly handsome" by others. He also has four hummingbird-like wings on his back (Inky Extra's Ch 113) which are considered smaller then most Angel's wings, with less downy feathers than most(Ch 238).

### Powers and Abilities

As an Angel, Jake has certain innate magical abilities such as the ability to use various forms of light, Angelic magic and the the ability to walk on water (Inky Extra's Ch 107). As a messenger Angel, Jake also has a trumpet which is able to unleash an incredibly loud soundwave that can bring down city walls (Ch 214).

Besides those powers granted to every member of his race Jake also has the honor of being the fastest angel in the Upper, which is perfect for his role as head of the messenger Angels. His body is made for speed and he is an incredibly nimble flyer, able to dart through tree's at high speed before stopping on a dime without issue (Ch 238). However, Jake does have his limits as his specialization towards speed means that he sacrifices some strength and stamina. He has issues if he needs to carry heavy loads long distances (Ch 160).
