Personality/Bio: Jacob Bender is a lazy, good-for-nothing slaker who spends most of his time lazing around or smoking pot with the low-lifes of the town. His grades are terrible; he barely gets a passing grade in every class (though he does make sure to get this at least). He has a blatent disregard for rules or authority, and he never holds back his opinions when speaking to people, however vulgar these opinions may be. So why does a loser like this have a damn near full ride scholarship to the prestigious boarding school at Deerfield?
Jacob Bender scores perfectly on the most rigorous test available in the scholastic world. This is the kind of guy who get's 100%'s on tests with ease. He's the guy who scored Thirty six on his ACT. And these test scores are the one and only reason why he passes the classes he takes.
Jacob is not a stupid man. He is lazy, that is sure. But he goes to class the majority of the time. And while in class, he is a literal information sponge. He attributes his wealth of knowledge to a very good memory. Many teachers he had in the past wrung their hands in pure frustration; if he would only apply himself, he would easily be Harvard material. He would be the next Einstein, or Newton. But that's not the kind of life Jacob has in mind for himself. He is a simple man with simple desires. All he wants is a job that he can survive on, and a roof over his head.
Jacob is also a highly philosophical man. He has studied, in great depth, the great philosophers in history. His Einstein is Socrates, his Issac Newton is Rene Descartes. His one true passion is the pursuit of new philosophical knowledge, and the development of interesting new theories. He want's to know what the meaning of life is, what makes us human. Because he comes off as a deep individual despite his lazy and destructive habits, many people that have classes with him find themselves turning to him for advice, which he always is ready to give.
Anything Else?:
Jacob is a plant. Fuck logic.
