Name: Jake Felder
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Human, Caucasian
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Power Level: 2
Timeline: Modern
Appearance: The word that comes to most peoples mind wen they first see Jake is "diminutive". He reaches 5''2' just barely and his frame is slender and frail-looking. For his height he has surprisingly long limbs, which reinforces the impression of lankiness. It does however fool the would-be onlooker to overlook his trained musculature. He is by no means a bodybuilder, but he is toned and fit. His face is generally best described as round, with surprisingly large auburn eyes and unusually thick and bushy eyebrows. He doesn't grow facial hair very well, so if he doesn't shave for a few days he gains a ratty-looking beard. His hair is a natural dark shade of red and easily clears his shoulder blades in length and goes on for a few inches. His clothing style is very loose, and m most of the time he will only wear whats necessary to refrain from being charged with indecent exposure. He prefers shorts, sandals and vests, and will be bare-chested more often than not. He does however always wear a bandana, and he varies them as he has quite a large collection.
Personality: Relaxed and easy going to a fault Jake is very hard to anger or rouse into action unless the situation makes it indispensable. He is a firm believer in the concepts of pacifism and world peace, and he has a loose faith in Gaia the Earth-Mother, thus being very concerned with environmentalism. He tries to promote a lifestyle that is in closer harmony with nature and has a general objection to large scale industry, automobiles and atomic power. He is not a vegetarian, but he very much tries to support less cruel treatment of animals raised for food and will only eat meat if he can ensure it came from livestock raised under favorable circumstances. Furthermore his attitude toward sexuality and narcotic consumption is very open, he regularly smokes marijuana and peruses LSD and is addicted to these substances. As a result of his constant narcotics abuse he can be rather slow on the uptake and has a hard time remembering facts, and it reinforces his already very strong attitude of not making a big deal out of problems.
History: Born shortly after the end of World War II in 1946 Jake grew up the son of a wounded war-veteran. His mother had died during child-birth due to a previously undiscovered heart condition, and so his father had to raise him on his own. His fathers strict attitude and demeanor set Jake up for rebellion from an early age, and by the time he was 12 he ran away from home, no longer willing to put up with his fathers rules. He roamed the streets of his birthplace, San Francisco, for a few months, living from garbage cans and petty thefts, until an old man took him in. this man, to which Jake refers to this day as Gramps in a loving way, was just about the exact opposite of his father, a mental member of what would later be known as the hippie-movement. He taught Jake himself instead of sending him to school, and eventually Jake began using his last name instead of that of his father. When Jake was 20 Gramps passed away quietly and naturally in his sleep, but he had left Jake everything he owned, which was the house they had both lived in and everything in it. Jake has been living there since, keeping himself afloat with odd jobs and the occasional foray into dealing with marijuana.
Powers: None, powerless human. Jake does live in a dangerous neighborhood, however, so he received training in a non-attack evasive combat style that his Gramps called "Dancer Steps" and was a variation on Capoeira. Jake has since mastered and modified it, bringing it to what he now refers to as "Stoned Dancer Evasion", incorporating elements of drunken boxing and artistic ribbon gymnastics. He can do it while sober but it will work best when he is under the influence of marijuana. All moves are designed to evade attacks, make the attacker hit obstacles and to disarm him. Most disarming moves are performed with the help of a long bandana, as are some moves that result in the binding of the aggressor. Furthermore Jake has proven a considerable talent at gardening and small scale farming.
Equipment: Being a man of little need Jake has little to carry with him. As mentioned above he always wears his bandana, which hangs down to his shoulders, and he carries a spare, sometimes looped into the belt loops of his pants. He also always carries at the very least a few days worth of marijuana with him, though it varies if in pre-rolled form or still "raw". Accompanying this is his trusty Zippo-Lighter, which was actually his fathers but was stolen by Jake when he ran away. Occasionally Jake will carry a back-up matchbook, but not always.
Weaknesses: As a standard human Jake has all their vulnerabilities and furthermore his addictions can sometimes put him in problematic situations, although this is, most of the time, more of a social weakness and only becomes a physical one when he enters withdrawal. As mentioned above his memory is not the best and often times his reaction to a situation will be a little slow.
