[center][b][h3]~Personal Information~[/h3][/b][/center] [center][img]http://i917.photobucket.com/albums/ad11/myandrallene/Character%20Gifs/Jake_zpsms4nqekg.gif[/img][/center] [b]Personality:[/b] Jake is frequently depicted as a gruff loner, often minding his own business and quite simply getting through the day, one moment at a time. He has periods where he will simply disappear without a word and comes back as though nothing has happened. If asked about his absence, he will either answer with a dry, sarcastic reply or simply brush it off as though he didn't hear it. He is often irreverent and rebellious towards authority figures, though he is a reliable ally and capable leader. He has been a mentor and father figure to several younger students and has had romantic relationships with numerous women, though somehow always seeming to be "in between girlfriends." Jake will sometimes lapse into a "berserker rage" while in close combat. In this state he lashes out with the intensity and aggression of an enraged animal and is even more resistant to most attacks. Despite his apparent ease at taking lives, he does not enjoy killing or giving in to his berserker rages, let alone feeding on a human. Jake adheres to a firm code of personal honor and morality and quite often finds himself in moments of utter detestation for what he is and his own kind. In contrast to his brutish nature, Jake is extremely knowledgeable. Due to his increased lifespan, he has traveled around the world and amassed extensive knowledge of foreign languages and cultures. Much to the school's disapproval, Jake is also a heavy drinker and smoker; his healing powers negate the long-term effects of alcohol and tobacco and allow him to indulge in prolonged binges. [b]Abilities:[/b] Because of how they were created, being centered around immortality, an Original Vampire's powers and abilities are the most advanced and by far the most superior against any other species, however immortals with incredible mental strength do pose as a problem. [i][u]Super Strength:[/u][/i] As an original, Jake is considerably stronger than other immortals including (but not limited to) other vampires, werewolves, supernatural hunters, evolved werewolves, hybrids and especially humans. Though capable of decapitating with a single chop of his bare hands, shattering windows and doors with small objects and tearing out the hearts of others, Jake does not very often exercise this ability and has grown considerably weak over the years. Jake also refuses to feed on fresh human blood, instead stealing from blood donor banks which helps to diminish his abilities. Though Jake in his "weakened" state can still rival a regular vampire and even a small pack of werewolves up to three. [u][i]Super Speed:[/i][/u] Jake is also much faster than the other species. He is capable of stopping other supernatural species in their tracks and can run miles in mere minutes. This benefits Jake substantially when he steals blood bags from the blood banks without being detected. His reflexes, in turn, are similarly heightened. [u][i]Super Agility:[/i][/u] Jake also possesses more superhuman agility than most other supernatural. Able to move quickly, Jake can also jump extraordinarily high and climb and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. Though given his lack of use for these sets of skills, Jake does reach a limit and over time will tire. [u][i]Super Senses:[/i][/u] Jake's sense of hearing, sight and smell far exceed that of other species. He is able to distinguish an original from a regular vampire by smell alone, and in turn is able to differentiate the other supernaturals from humans as well. Hybrids are a bit more difficult to discern, though most of the time Jake is right in his assumptions. [u][i]Super Durability:[/i][/u] Since he is an Original, Jake can take far more physical trauma than other supernaturals. Though he feels pain like any other would, the only thing that has been known to kill an original is a stake from the white ash oak, which has since burnt down. Wooden stakes and even white ash daggers can incapacitate him for several minutes to several hours depending on placement, but he will eventually recover. [u][i]Healing Factor:[/i][/u] Injuries of Original vampires heal faster than those of other supernaturals, especially when exposed to vervain or wood. Jake is able to heal, recover or regenerate from any and all injuries in a matter of seconds. Even a werewolf bite, though causing pain, weakness and hallucinations, will heal completely within minutes. Poisons, venom and even vervain-laced liquid can also be quickly recovered from. The more severe the injury, obviously, will take longer to heal. It is possible for Jake to have scars remain for a few days from a fatal gunshot or stab wound. However, the fact that Jake does not drink fresh, human blood does tend to slow down his healing in comparison to the rest of his family. [u][i]Immortality:[/i][/u] Original vampires are immortal. They do not physically age and are immune to all illnesses, toxins, poisons and human diseases or physical conditions. The only physical weapon that can bring permanent death to an Original is the White Oak Stake which Jake used to fake his own death (sorta). [i][u]Enhanced Emotions:[/u][/i] Original Vampires experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are intensified for vampires allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows Jake to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age. [i][u]Mind Compulsion:[/u][/i] Original vampires can control and influence the thoughts, emotions, behavior, actions and memories of humans, non-original vampires and non-original werewolf-vampire hybrids. They cannot however compel witches, immortals, or werewolves/evolved werewolves. Jake is no exception, and even has a hard time with other supernaturals. Humans, however, he has down pretty well as he works with hormonal teenagers on a daily basis. [i][u]Sire Bond:[/u][/i] Although rare among them, Sire Bonds can be formed when a human or even a hybrid is turned with the blood of the vampire whom they have strong feelings for. Jake has never experienced this, however. It is unknown if his "weakened" state allows him to do this. [i][u]Telepathy:[/u][/i] Original vampires have one of the strongest minds in the world which allows them to enter the conscious of those with weaker minds. In Jake's case, as he is weakened himself, he is very limited to the types of supernaturals he is able to communicate with telepathically. Most of the time, it requires touch to make a connection, though if he really wanted to, he would be able to do so with a human from a fair amount of distance given their much more simple mind. [i][u]Dream Manipulation:[/u][/i] Original vampires can control dreams and the subconscious. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the ability to distort perceptions of reality and being able to trap someone in their dreams. Though capable of this, dream manipulation isn't something that Jake uses very often and in turn isn't very good at it. [i][u]Illusions:[/u][/i] Original Vampires have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening. When in a situation that requires him to escape, rather than fight, Jake uses this ability often. [i][u]True Face:[/u][/i] An Original Vampire's true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When an Original Vampire's true face is revealed, the sclera of their eyes turns blood-red, dark veins appear under their eyes as the blood pumps forcefully through them, and their canine teeth extend into razor-sharp fangs. An Original Vampire's true face can be revealed whenever they wish, but it will appear against their will whenever they are aroused by the scent of blood, or are feeling intense emotions such as anger, lust, sadness, etc. An Original Vampire's fangs are extremely sharp which gives them the ability to tear into almost any substance (including and especially flesh) and tear off limbs. With the fangs come the darkened veins under the eyes as well. [b]Skills:[/b] Alongside his Original vampiric abilities, Jake had adapted a great number of skills over the years. These skills are (but not limited to) as follows. [u][i]Multilingual:[/i][/u] Jake is fluent in English, Romanian, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Spanish, Arabic, and Lakota; he also has some knowledge of French, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Hindi, and Persian. [u][i]Musically Adept:[/i][/u] Jake has a passion for music which lead his interest into wanting to learn how to create it. Being able to play a great variety of different instruments, Jake has taken a particular shine to the piano and the violin. [u][i]Skilled Bartender[/i][/u] Having had quite a bit of time to indulge and even experiment with alcohol of all types, Jake has the knowledge and experience to mix up a great variety of different drinks granted he is given the proper ingredients. [b]Biography:[/b] Samael was born into a rich, highly-regarded family who's roots run deep within the Originals. In fact, his parents are royalty, ruling over the vampire kingdom in Transylvania, Romania. His parents were far from saints and in Samael's opinion, went far and beyond the call of what it was to be a vampire. They had slaves of all races, even had feasting parties where humans were released from the prisons to scamper like mice, making it more fun for the royal family to hunt them down and feed. Samael, the youngest of three, chose to make himself more secluded than the rest of his family when it came down to these matters, never feeling right about making feeding on humans into such a spectacle. He grew to hate his family, and resented them. However, it was done quietly and with a building rage. He played the part as the youngest prince son, but in his head he was devising a way out. He cut off any emotional ties with his family that might have started from birth and instead viewed his home his own prison, forced to watch his family succumb into the blood-thirsty animals the world made them out to be. He was raised to believe himself superior to everyone else, including other Originals. He was taught that humans were the most inferior of all and were nothing more than toys. He was shown how to break necks and snap spines and even how to put an enemy through torture for hours without having them fall unconscious. And Samael hated every moment of it. Perhaps his one saving grace from going absolutely berserk on his family was his arranged fiance. Though she shared the same views as the rest of his family, she had a much softer approach to how she dealt with others. She was much less animal and much more of a temptress, leading those to their demise with a soft kiss and a gentle touch. She was his black widow. And though the outcome was the same, Samael had to tell himself that it was much more humane, which made it better... somehow. When the royal family and a pack of werewolves (a long time past family feud, spanning over centuries) were back at war with one another, Samael saw his chance and took it. By plunging a rather convincing replica of a white oak stake into his heart, Samael became desiccated, the blame pointing to the werewolf pack. So convincing looking was the replica (an ordinary wooden stake), the family dared not go near it and left Samael's body in peace, believing the youngest son of the Le Rouge's to be dead. After coming to, Samael fled Romania and spent the first few centuries traveling the world under the pseudo name Jake Zaiger. He attempted coexisting with humans and for a great number of years, he struggled. The thirst to feed constantly overwhelmed him, but with time, Jake was able to control it. He has taken on a great number of ordinary jobs within the human world, blending in as one of them. Currently he resides in Carson City, Nevada acting the part as a high school teacher of history. Never in a hundred centuries did Samael believe for his past to catch up with him again. He was wrong.
