Player: NPC (Ask Spyder for permission)
Character Name: Jake Adams
Age: 12
Sex: Male
Species: Wolf
Height/Weight: 4'10" and 68lbs
Social Status: Outer class
Physical Description: Jake is a scrawny little runt. He isn’t exactly malnourished per say, but he just doesn’t like to eat much. Not exactly the biggest of the bunch, the puppy’s size is average at best. His complexion is simple: hazel brown eyes, short snout, large ears, and a coat of soft grey fur that betrays his immaturity.
For most strangers on the street, he is but another one of those ‘street kids’. However, the more curious or observant would notice that the boy’s legs are far beyond the affordable range of mere ‘street kids’. Children-sized cybernetics of that caliber isn’t common in the outer class areas, but the pup just happens to own a pair. They won’t turn many heads, but those who are in the trade would know that they are at least above average in quality.
The boy doesn’t really have a dress-code. Most of his clothes are simply passed down by his older brother. As a result, they are usually too large, over-worn, faded, ripped, or worse. Not that he cares though, since no one else around him seems to. Things can get pretty hot in the Undercity, depending on how deep you go. Wherever E-fluid doesn’t really reach, geothermal generators are the next best thing available.
In the Midcity, he might have enough sense to put a jacket on, but how much sense can a twelve year old have?
Background: Twelve-year-old Jacob Adams had forgotten many hours he had been crying now, but every time he thought of how Danny died, and how he would never see his older brother again, a sickeningly bitter feeling would rise up in his little heart. Then the chill would spread to his lungs, and a lump would start to build in his throat. Before long, Jake found himself sobbing into his soft pillow again.
He remembered the day when Master Illian saved him and Danny from the burning wreck of their family’s hoverdyne. How his legs, and Danny’s arm, were crushed by the twisted metal frame. That hurt so much.
He remembered how he got these shiny new legs, how much it hurt when he woke up at the news of Mama and Papa dying. It hurt the same way as it did now, only it didn’t hurt as much because he was younger.
That was four years ago. Danny was always there to make him feel better. Danny would smile the happiest smile. But now, Danny died too. Jake never felt so alone.
Master Illian said Danny was shot by an evil man who was stealing. Danny was brave and tried to stop the man, but the man pulled out his gun and shot Danny in the heart. Jake didn’t really want Danny to be brave like that. He never wanted his older brother to die like that. He never wanted anything to happen like that. But it just did. It was so unfair.
Master Illian also said the evil man died too. That didn’t make Jake feel any better though. He never wanted people to die. He just wanted to see Danny smile again.
Personality: Innocent, loyal and extremely obedient, Jake is a kind hearted boy who has yet to be tainted by the evils of the Undercity. He knows a surprising amount about cybernetics, and can perform simple repairs and maintenance work on himself and others due to his long exposure with cybernetic technology.
When dealing with strangers, Jake tends to be somewhat shy at first. However, due to past and recent tragedy, the boy longs for attention and reassurance, but such things that are scarce in the environment that he grew up in. As such, he lacks self-confidence in what he does, and is often too afraid to ‘mess up’ things that are otherwise impossible to go wrong.
Weapons/Equipment: His cybernetic legs pack a punch, but he doesn't like to see people get hurt. It makes him sad.
Misc: This character is exclusively used by the player "Spyder" for the time being, but his ownership will be shared with others in the near future.
