Jacob Miller | OC + Aterat Memories | Not Reserved
Name: Ami
Age: 30
Contact: Discord PhantomStar#1289 &
Other Characters: N/A
Character Information
Name: Jacob 'Jake' Corey Miller
Canon: Original Character
Canon Point: Living in Seattle
Age: 23
(original) world & history: Jacob's world isn't very different from modern-day. There is just one important part that's different and that's the world & life of the Hidden. The Hidden are species who seek to keep their secrets and oddities away from the public eye. There are many types of Hidden and not all of them are known. Information about the Hidden can be found here. Other than the Hidden there is no difference between our world and his. Jacob is 100% human but knows a little about the Hidden.
Jacob's personal timeline/history is here.
abilities: He is human but is trained as a mechanic and a carpenter. He can play video games and is pretty good with puzzles. That's about it.
Personality: Personality test here.
Jacob thinks of himself as damaged goods. He's constantly getting down on himself and struggling against the weight of brainwashed actions and unholy desires. He takes anti-depressants from time to time, preferring to drink crappy beers on adjacent days with the medication. The one thing he takes daily is an anxiety medication that causes his thoughts to slow to a steady, more manageable pace. He has been seeing a therapist for years and has slowly been working on the weight of both his situation and past.
His situation is awkward at best and Jacob is awkward in response. He is trapped between a 'normal' life and that of the magical world of the 'Hidden'. He would honestly have nothing to do with that world except that his older sister is a god among those races and he isn't willing to cut her out of his life. His relationship with his sister is complicated. He finds it hard to be 100% comfortable around her but they're close enough to share life details and hang out every other week at family game night or movie nights.
Despite what Jacob thinks of himself, he is kind and has good intentions. He doesn't want anything in return but likes helping others. He's a rational and calm person in a crisis. He holds a lot of things inside and comes off as private or reserved though he'll answer most questions to the best of his ability; mostly because no one has been rude enough to ask him the questions he doesn't want to answer.
Sometimes adding to his level of awkwardness, Jacob is stubborn. If he thinks that what he's doing is right, he'll do it and he won't apologize. He's done worse things with worse intentions that he doesn't care if he upsets someone in a momentary clash of opinions.
He is a mechanic and carpenter. These two skills bring out his creativity and logical traits. He likes thinking about things in clear black and white terms though he realizes that the world isn't that simple. It's just wishful thinking. Jacob doesn't like focusing on his own problems but will fix other people's problems if he's given the chance. He doesn't keep many close friends but a handful of acquaintances or happy customers at the shop.
Overall, Jacob is relaxed. He tries to live each day as it comes and not think too hard into the future or past. He dislikes commitment to things because he doesn't know where his life is going to take him and he's scared of losing anything else that he cares about. Part of this is also reinforced by the fact that Jacob is both gay and very Catholic. He hasn't realized his sexuality, even at the age of 23, and has yet to balance that in his life. He knows that girls are pretty, he just doesn't think he can be with one… without realizing that he isn't attracted to them.
Which of the following would they most like to have in abundance: limitless good luck, the freedom to act without restraint, the ability to teach and to learn, or for everyone to just relax? For everyone to just relax.
