Name: Jacob Williams
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Birthday:June 21st
History: Jacob had a pretty normal life in Los Angeles ever since he was born. He lived close by his school, and made many friends, like most people. Of course there was some drama in his life as he grew up.
His brother died when was only 10, and that affected him greatly. His grades went down. He got depressed. He was almost always in a bad mood and overly sensitive about this. His parents were really worried about him and decided to send him to a therapist. He had some improvement, but not as much as they had expected. This lasted for a few years, and none of his friends were able to cheer him up, at least not until he met Paris.
Slowly but surely, he started being his normal self again, and all thanks to her. His grades got back to normal, he started hanging out with his friends, and sure enough he fell in love with Paris. The only problem was paparazzi... In the beginning he didn't mind much, finding it somewhat nice to be the center of attention and not just be an average teenager, but it started getting annoying when he wanted to express his love for Paris, but didn't want to do so in front of cameras.
Personality: Jacob is a very happy guy now-a-days. He is very cheerful and playful around his friends and tends to fall into the category of "dork" sometimes. Always trying to lighten the mood when things get serious, Jacob is a kind of friend that you'll normally look for when you're feeling bad. His optimism helps out a lot, and he tends to have a way of making people smile. He doesn't stand unfairness and injustice, and isn't a big fan on prejudice. He'll defend the weak any day of the week.
Despite loving to talk, Jacob is also a great listener. He won't interrupt a person if he notices they need to rant a little, but as soon as he finds fit, he will do his best to get a smile. He'll listen to them and carefully give any advice if asked to. He tends to nod every once in a while to make sure the person knows he is listening. He might get a bit distracted if a fly keeps buzzing around the room, but he'll give you 100% of his attention after it goes away.
"Happiness is natural, you should be happy!" is probably the sentence he has mostly said through-out his entire life, and he definitively tries to live up to it. He'll smile all the time and will throw in an occasional comment here and there. He can't resist having a good laugh with his friends, and won't mind being silly to make someone laugh. Hugs are free always, especially when celebrating something!
Even though being happy is nice, you should let things out when you need to. Jacob will have his sad moments, even though they don't last long. A comforting hug and a little ranting is generally enough to make him feel better. It's not common for him to cry when he's sad, but he will frown and mope around a bit. A bad day can make him get pretty stressed and upset. Even worse, he tends to try and take people's sadness to make them feel better. He spends a few moments alone when he's sad, and even though he might push someone away, deep down he needs to know someone cares.
Generally you won't see Jacob mad, and very few people have actually seen it... but it does happen. He'll avoid raising his voice, and mostly tries to calm himself down with big deep breaths. If his buttons get pushed enough, or something extreme happens, he might raise his voice. He'll flail his arms about and complain about what bothers him. After letting everything out, he will start to calm down. If he doesn't let everything out, it might just take a while to calm down again.
Defender of the weak, Jacob will always step in to defend a friend. He'll do his best with words and avoid any fights, but he won't hesitate if needed. Not a fan on injuring anybody, he practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He'll do his best to immobilize an opponent instead of hurting them. Normally that isn't necessary, since he is quite good with reasoning and talking his way out of things. He is commonly the one that doesn't choose sides, but instead tries to see from both sides on a neutral stand point, unless someone is going to do something extremely stupid or dangerous.
A problem with Jacob is that he tends to be very impulsive. He won't always think something through before doing it. If he gets the urge to do something, he will do it. Worse yet, he's also indecisive about somethings. One day he wants to do something this way, and tomorrow he'll wake up wanting to do it that way.
Likes: Jacob is a fan of eating for sure, thankfully he keeps his health at it's best because of his Jiu-Jitsu classes. He has a particular preference for almost anything, except meat. He is an ovo-lacto vegetarian, only eating eggs and milk products. He doesn't eat white meat, or red meat. He never ate meat in his life, his parents being vegetarian, but he doesn't mind the smell.
He loves animals of all kinds, especially when it comes to dogs and cats. He even knows a little bit about birds too! He tends to get along really well with animals, knowing how to approach them and how to act around them as well. He really wants to have his own pet, preferably one of the three animals he likes the most.
He really likes to swim and climb trees. He loves going to the beach or a pool. It's simply really fun to do so, especially with some friends to laugh around with. A part of him wants to learn how to surf, but he isn't the best at it, never able to even stand up. He does have his own board though.
One of his favorite things to do is surprise Paris with a love letter or silly little drawing. He enjoys hiding the messages in places he thinks she might look. The things he loves doing the most for her is to write on post-it's and put them on her things.
As long as Paris is a subject, he loves spending time with her and especially holding her hand. He feels complete when he's with her, and boy he always feels happy! He even attempts to do something romantic here and there, although quite a few of those things get ruined by paparazzi...
Dislikes: Paparazzi! Who would've guessed? He dislikes, almost hates it, but Jacob doesn't think hating is good for you. He will try to avoid it as best as he can, and might even attempt some crazy ideas to do so. Paparazzi simply drives him nuts! He isn't much of a loner, but he enjoys his privacy with Paris.
Unfairness, Injustice, Prejudice, Lies... Something all of those things have in common: Jacob doesn't like 'em. These things just make him frustrated so easily, he could get from happy to mad in a matter of seconds! He tends to avoid these things as much as he can.
Some vegetables aren't really Jacob's 'forte'... He doesn't like squash, cucumbers, pumpkin, pickles, onions, eggplant, and only so many other things... He will eat them if it avoids hurting someone's feelings... except if it's squash... it kind of makes him want to gag.
Even though Jacob unconsciously has some sterotypes, he greatly dislikes it when someone assumes he only eats vegetables for being a vegetarian or when someone challenges him saying that 'eggs' are a type of meat, since it killed the chick and prevented it from being born. After a long while of people saying that, he has come up with a few defensive ways.
Likes swimming? Sure! Swimming classes? He despises them! The first time Jacob went to a swimming class, he swallowed too much water, and the coach was absolutely too pushy for his taste. After 3 days of no improvement, he gave up and vowed to himself he didn't need to swim perfectly. He knew how to not drown, and that was enough for him.
