Appearance:
Like many that were also blessed with money and a good background, Jake was also blessed with good looks. Standing at 6'2", Jake is a healthy weight for his height and medium build. Atop his head sits a mass of curly, dark brown hair. He has bright, intelligent brown eyes and strong jawline, decorated with designer stubble. He refrained from getting any tattoos or piercings, and managed to not get any scars when he was growing up. His dress sense is very much influenced by his money, wearing stylish designer clothes. He prefers to go with class over whatever trends are in that season, knowing the classics never really go out of style. His wardrobe mostly consists of long sleeved shirts, black, grey and tan pants and a variety of jackets for whatever mood he's in, as well as scarves for the colder weather.



Personality:
Jake was born to be important. Born into a privileged, rich family, he was always going to have the connections he needed and the money that he would need to get there. As if that wasn't enough, he was also born with the necessary personality. After a conversation with somebody older than him, they often turn to the person nearest to him and exclaim, "What a lovely young man!" He's gently persuasive, well able to get what he wants without the other party realising that he's talking them into getting his way. His charisma only adds to that. Whether he's speaking to somebody more important than him or to a large crowd, he never stutters or stumbles over his words, even with only note cards. He has a love to learn, and can often be found with a book in his hand or a pile stacked on his desk. No matter who he is talking to, he always treats them with respect, knowing that the easiest way to get respect is to show respect. His students appreciate that, because he genuinely takes them seriously. He's always open to a new way of thinking, and when prevented with an opinion or argument that differs from his own, rather than being stubborn and arguing about it, he will consider it and think about it before making his mind up.

However, Jake also has no clue how to function around people he's attracted to. It's like his brain gets clouded and his eloquence goes out the window. He will say the wrong thing and stumble and stutter. Some people find it endearing, but he hates it. He's been attempting to fix it ever since he was a teenager and has had little success. That's the thing about Jake- he needs to attain perfection in everything does. When he makes a simple, human mistake, he will dwell on that for days and obsess over it until he makes another mistake. It's beyond perfectionism, it's obsessive. When he was in college, he'd study for hours to get perfect grades, despite the fact that he was not too far away from perfect without any study. It often affects how he deals with people, because if he's focused on something else, he may not let himself think about anything else until he has found a way to fix it.

History:
His teachers would never admit it, but secretly, Jake was one of their favourite students, if not the favourite. Charming, friendly and hardworking, it was hard not to like him. Grading his tests were always a pleasure because there was seldom any mistakes, and when he grew older and it wasn't as simple as wrong and right, his work was always excellently executed, providing intelligent arguments and answers. He had a mind for dates, a mind for maths, a mind for everything. Even when he went to college, his lecturers found the same thing. He graduated with a degree in English literature, having a particular passion for reading, and immediately found a teaching job in a prestigious high school. His students are particularly fond of his class, due to the fact that he's young, recently graduated and actually seems to have a love for what he does. He finds a way to encourage the weaker students, while also finding ways to challenge the more advanced students. In the future, he is thinking of going into politics or further study, but right now, he's happy with his current job.

So begins...
