Full Name: Jake August Vale
Nicknames/Aliases: The Old Man, The Kid, Shrimp, Monster, Zale, Orion, Derek Morgan
Age: 74 Actual, 12 Appearance
Gender: Male
Gift: Genetic Physical Superiority: His Genetic code has caused his cells to react in an interesting way. He can move much faster then a normal person, he can (allegedly, exaggerations have been known to happen) lift over one hundred times his own weight (on that note though, he is not that heavy), he can regenerate wounds, and all of his senses are superior in every way.
Loyalty: (if Erubescian or Liberty, please add their position if you can) Himself. Maybe.
Description: Weighing about 90 Lbs. soaking wet, one could easily underestimate Jake by his appearance. To the general public, he would just look like some little kid, small and short, with an adorable face filled with innocence. He looks completely unthreatening, weak, scrawny, and his hair looks clean but messy. The simple fact is, you should not judge him by his appearance. He could beat down a robot...with his fists. Of course, his fists would be bruised and sore, but he would still win.
Personality: A brief outline how? Well, I will try. Jake's personality is sort of layered. On the surface, he can be childish, playful, fun loving, thrill seeking, and adventurous. However, that is just what is on the surface. Anyone who really knows him know that under the surface, when he needs to be, he will be mature, strict, threatening, even wraithful and cold at times. Any warnings he says, even if he sounds playful, should be taken seriously. He prefers to be more fun loving and silly because he prefers to enjoy life, not feel like life is something you have to work through. If you get to know him well enough, you could see it in his eyes sometimes, when he stops to think. He has seen things that no one should ever have to see, and it makes him sad.
Skills: Extensive Hand to Hand Combat Training, Extensive Weapons Training, Rock Climbing, Decent hacker and encryptor, some skill in mechanics and engineering, Advanced Sciences (generalized, some specific fields he is a bit hazy on), chemistry, biology, and other areas of science. He has had a lot of time to read and learn.
Weaknesses: He can be easily agitated on certain subjects. Bringing up his family, specifically his younger brother Jason, will distract him. He has a tendency to be a stubborn old man, and refuse to ask for any help, though he normally wont push it away if offered. His ego is another one. He is the best at what he does, and he knows it. And another weakness is that he has an obsession with gambling he is trying to kick, because he is not that good at Casino games. And he has a slight obsession with chocolate.

Jake August Vale, born originally as (FILE REDACTED) in (FILE REDACTED), is a well known Scavenger, Suspected Thief, and one of the nicest people you can meet....as well as one of the most dangerous. His powers, which are listed earlier in this file, allow him to mascaraed as a child, and has influenced his personality to be child like. Do not let that fool you though, as he is in fact very mature and highly skilled.
It is believed he was raised in a mobile settlement in the Wasteland known as (REDACTED), but moved to the city of (REDACTED) due to a business arrangement. From there, he grew up learning various trades, and his parents ran a sort of Problem Solver business that he helped in, doing everything from repair work to escorting important materials to hunting down criminals to a variety of other things. You had a problem? They had a solution. However, one day, they came into conflict with (REDACTED), and the results of which are (SECTION REDACTED). Needless to say, no one escaped alive....except for him. From that day on, Jake began trusting no one.
(SECTION REDACTED)
For a time, it is believed he did some espionage work where he learned extensive hand to hand combat, though who he was working for has been undetermined. He later joined up with the Merc Group Armistice, where he received extensive weapons training. The group was later destroyed by (REDACTED), and its weapons taken, but not before he disappeared with a number of their equipment. For awhile, he took the Alias Orion and began helping people from the shadows. However, eventually (REDACTED) caught up with him, and a fight occurred in (REDACTED), resulting in the deaths of a few innocents.
(SECTION REDACTED)
Ever since then, he has been workings as a Scavenger, staying on the move, and closer to the bigger and more dangerous wrecks and ruins....ones with the old security system still active, dissuading anyone from following him....and paying the price. Additionally, due to his inconsistent movements, (REDACTED) and other officials are unable to track him properly, making him a ghost of sorts. Some even believe he is only a legend.
Other: While technically he is not under arrest for anything, there is a lot about Jake Vale that is a mystery which concerns Espionage and Counter Espionage units. Still, right now, he is only a Scavver....but there are some stories about him that suggest he should not be taken lightly. Of course, there is also the rumor that everything was made up, he is just a simple scavver, and that all of these are ghost stories made up to frighten anyone into not double crossing him.
