( ❝ appearance ) -- With blonde hair that seems to be a dirty blonde/light brown in dim lighting and a more vivd blonde in the sun, Jakob has eyes that can also seem blue when dark and a deep sea green when light. His hair is naturally limp and tends to hang over his eyes if not styled, which is something he takes great care to do every morning in a spiked fashion that seems to defy gravity. He is also quite muscular and tall under the layers of clothes he tends to wear and has a light tan from being outside all the time. There is also a prominent vertical scar down his forehead over his right eyebrow and a flygon tattoo on his left shoulder.

 

 

( ❝ style ) -- Considering that he likes to head into dangerous places to find the best Pokemon, Jakob usually wears comfortable t-shirts or muscle shirts with a wilderness jacket thrown over it, some dark jeans along wirha pair of sturdy black hikinh boot with extra additions of goggles and a bandana around his neck just in case along with a light backpack for his items and Pokeballs. He tends to like wearing more stylish outfits mostly consisting of a jacket, dark jeans under a light tee/muscle shirt and a scarf around his neck when being in places that doesn't involve him getting all dirtied up.

〈◍ how do you roll? -- let's just hope you're interesting enough for us to accept you.

( ❝ summary ) -- Jakob is very short tempered person who tends to get angry at people who fool around too much for his liking and also hates people who complain all the time. Despite all this, he is can be reliable and is quite knowledgeable about the world and Pokemon in general, considering that he has roamed all over the place in Hoenn.

 

 

( ❝ personality ) -- At a first glance, Jakob is someone no one would want to mess with. He is a serious and decisive individual, though he is easily annoyed and is rather temperamental, often to a fault. His proud and strong features reduce many people to speak meekly and humbly to him, for his temper is unpredictable and can flare suddenly before dying down again. He has great pride in who he is, and takes great responsibility with his duty as an older brother figure to protect others and Pokemon. The other thing that matters to him is what he thinks and can be quite rude and irrational with his words at times. When this happens however, he will not realize that he is wrong and will require others to point out to him his faults and wrongs. This does not mean that Jakob never admits he is wrong; more than anything, he tries to follow the laws of being a Pokemon Ranger to the extreme. Whenever he breaks them, either deliberately through a loss of temper or inadvertently, he never questions the punishments brought upon him. He abides by his punishment whether or not he thinks they are fair, one way of maintaining his honor and reputation. He reads the laws literally and holds rules and honor to a high standard, looking down upon those who do not consider them to be absolutely important.

 

Though outwardly stern and powerful, much of his life has to do with not failing expectations. Jakob is extremely single-minded, an absolutely determined individual who will give his entire being to finishing a task. Success and ambition are his main driving forces, his stubbornness overtaking any restraints. Losing a battle to Jakob is a great blow to his pride, he will instantly demand a rematch and fight until he has won, determined to succeed at any cost. He may seem fearless, or simply stupid to others, depending on how they should consider him. At times when he is enraged, he may fly and pick a fight at someone for no reason besides that he was just pissed off. However, he does not pick fights with anyone in general as he does have respect and honor for the weak and poor - never lashing out at women or children, only going after those who he knows will give him a good fight and a challenge. He is also a good comrade and tank, always offering himself up to take the upfront and most dangerous position in a group.

 

There is, however, the problem of love and intimacy for Jakob. He rarely shows these aspects of himself since he considers emotion soft and weak, but the emotions are there nonetheless and buried deep beneath the hardened surface - a soft and fluffy teddy bear that one can always depend on to do what is needed. Jakob at times can try to be a caring individual, though his attempts at being kind are often offset by his aggression. He always had to be the role models for his siblings, and therefore, cares deeply for those who he considers weaker than himself. Though he may not express his concerns through his words, his actions will speak for many times over what he could have said since he will go to no bounds to protect those who he loves. But, whenever there is a clash between showing true emotion and maintaining the show of his strength, Jakob will always go with the latter since he does not want others to see him as being a weak individual - except for his siblings.

 

 

 

( ❝ history ) -- Born in Lilycove City in Hoenn, the Marshall family was a happy and relatively comfortable family... Even with a physically weak mother. It was known to everyone in the family after Jakob's youngest sibling, Nikolas, was born that there was the chance that she wouldn't exactly make it for long. But even as the news greatly saddened them, the sorrow when it actually happened didn't have such a terrible effect on them - she had always been prepared for to happen and always told them with a smile that she would be there for them, even after death. The fateful event happened when Jakob was 7, met with the quiet news of that she had went to the hospital earlier that day when he was at school. And with that, he never saw her alive again, but even when the whole family went in to see her afterwards, she had a gentle smile on her face.

 

From then on, Jakob's father was the only provider of the family and the death of his wife hit him especially hard. As for Jakob and his younger siblings, they were still too small to grasp the seriousness of the situation - and not to mention that their mother had prepared them for this occurence well. So after settling their accounts in Lilycove City, their father ushered them to the peaceful town of Verdanturf where he could work more easily and have a much more relaxing environment for his children. As for them, they all enjoyed the move, even if their father seemed to be more distant than before (though this was only really noted by Jakob). And even when he left on extended trips to care for his Bird Pokemon, they were safe with the neighbors and led a fairly happy life - even without a mother. Therefore, Jakob had to do more of the motherly role for his siblings even as his father would try and take both the role of mother and father, to protect and look out for his younger sister and brother. It was fortunate that they had moved to Verdnaturf Town since the community was so friendly and tight-knit that everyone felt like a relative to everyone else. 

 

When growing up, he excelled fairly well in school and did a fine job of helping out his father when he could. And of course, as all children dream of, he wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer. His father knew this, being that he was a Bird Keeper and worked with Pokemon even when he was absently here and there from his children. So one day when Jakob was around 11 or 12, he was allowed to fly on the back of one of his dad's Bird Pokemon to Professor Rowan's laboratory to ask for what else than a starter Pokemon. The excitement that he felt then was unprecedented as he held the Mudkip Pokeball in his hands and given his Pokedex to become... An official trainer. But the Pokemon was temporary (but he got his own Mudkip way later anyways when he was far into his Pokemon journey). Technically, the lab was out of actual Pokemon to give to young trainers like him but... It was no matter. He could deal with a temporary one for now. However, being as young as he was, his father didn't exactly allow him to go wandering off on his journey this soon, only allowing him to catch a few Pokemon nearing the town itself.

 

With that, his childhood went by with a blur, all wrapped up in the happiness of being a Pokemon trainer as he watched his younger sister have her turn to go with their father and get her first starter Pokemon too, a Torchic. But before their youngest sibling was old enough to go off and start his Pokemon Trainer career, it was time for Jakob to finally start his Pokemon adventure - to finally be an actual Pokemon trainer. So with a good farewell to his family and getting a PokeNav to stay in touch with them, his reckless teenage self of 15 decided that it would totally awesome if he were to head into the desert and find the mysterious ruins that were rumored to be there.

 

And idiotic himself, even when other people warned him of the dangers of the sandstorms inside of the desert, he still kept going on. So it shouldn't be a surprise to find himself utterly lost and pained by all the flying pieces of sand from the numerous sandstorms whipping around him, be his fate that he was going to die until... He suddenly felt him sink into a small hole and a jaw clamp around his foot. Luckily, he was wearing boots then as he shrieked higher than a girl, pulling out his foot to only see a tiny Trapinch clinging on for its life. Suddenly, his dire situation was completely forgotten as the urge to catch it was greater - and actually easier than he thought since it was completely disorientated from him shaking his foot everywhere to get it off and relatively easy to catch it with a simple Poke Ball. But triumphant as he was to catch his first desert Pokemon, he was still lost. And still lost after a few hours... Until it was finally night and the storms finally settled. Instead of walking out defeated and worn out though, Jakob only had a triumphant and victorious grin on his scratched and marked up face from the knowledge that he had gotten a Trapinch as his first ever Pokemon that he had officially caught and they were going to be the best team ever - a sign of their hardworking efforts together being that the runt Trapinch turned into one of the most fierce and strongest trained Flygons in Hoenn.

 

Indeed, that was the case as the Trapinch now seemed to completely adore him and it surprised him just how quickly it evolved to a normal-sized Vibrava and then a huge Flygon since it was such a tiny little Trapinch whn they had just met. And with that, their Pokemon journey continued, working their way back until they got up to 4 badges (Heat Badge from Lavaridge Town) and a decent amount of Pokemon when Jakob was fortunate enough to find a Dome Fossil in the caves north of Rustboro City. Excited beyond belief, it isn't any wonder that he immediately resurrected it to only get a nasty surprise with his new Pokemon. This Kabuto was no friendly one and didn't hesitate to strike out and give him that nasty scar above his eye. This only served a lesson for him from then on to respect and understand Pokemon more, never falling in the same mistake of approaching one without caution.

 

As he got older and got through to Fortree City in pursuit of his 6th badge, the opportunity of becoming a Pokemon Ranger did not go unnoticed by Jakob. And naturally with all the incentives that it offered to him, he quickly wanted to be one. But there was one thing, he just didn't want to be stuck in one place for long... And so with a regret as he wondered how this would impact him, he declined the offer and decided to just continue on with his Pokemon adventure. 

 

Even though through his Pokemon adventure, Jakob has traveled away from his family, he has never forgotten to keep in touch with them. Either through PokeNav or actually making the journey back to visit them, he always somehow makes the time to keep in contact and update them on his journey in hopes that his little brother with his newly acquired Treeko will one day be a great Pokemon Trainer too like himself.

 

 

( ❝ random trivia ) -- 

• He has a tendency to curse and have more or less a potty mouth when pissed off that a sailor would be proud of, though often tries to restrain himself from doing so when in front of his siblings.

• Even though his Flygon is the closest to him, Jakob tries to also care for the others equally too, though most of the time he just doesn't have enough time to do so - but he still tries.

• If presented with an ice cream cone, he will suddenly turn very nostalgic and unlike himself - getting extremely shy and bashful. Mint chocolate chip ice cream is his favorite.

• Jakob is absolutely unafraid of thunderstorms, thanks to the fact that both of his siblings used to always cling to him whenever there were storms ahead and he would have to calm and comfort them the entire day and/or night.

• Even though he might have a damn nice body to look at, never ask him to strip or take off his shirt. He won't even do that, being very conservative with his clothes unless the weather is so unbearable that he just has to wear something thin and breathable. But if it isn't, don't even think about him doing something like that.

• Some of his favorite things to do is actually sleeping and daydreaming - when and where no one can see him, of course. Those two things are activities that he doesn't exactly have a chance to do much as a Pokemon Ranger.

• Part of the reason why he wanted to become a Pokemon Ranger and not just an ordinary Pokemon Trainer wasn't because he just suddenly had an urgent need to protect the environment and Pokemon or really even his experience in the desert - it was because the girl he had a childhood crush on became a Ranger and evidentally, he thought he could get her if he became one too. Sadly, that wasn't the case.

• Even though Jakob would never spill any secrets when awake, when he is asleep, it is a totally different story. He tends to babble anything on his mind when dreaming and therefore, his siblings know a lot of things that they shouldn't know from him.

• He has a completely irrational fear of Jynx and Smoochums, thanks to the fact that a school friend of his told a scary story of someone never being able to take their lips away from one of those when they tried to kiss one and he went home with nightmares about that which never went away.

• Many of his friends and his siblings have dubbed him the "Skinny Snorlax" when he eats, thanks to the fact that he seems to be able to consume MASSIVE quantities of food in one go with all of it going... Somewhere. And that he never seems to get fat either.

• Even though a lot of people might find Jakob quite attractive and extremely hot, to date he has had... 0 girlfriends or boyfriends. Sad to say, but he just seems to scare most of his potential love interests away with his attitude.

( ❝ your types ) -- ground - solid and steady like him, but all of his Pokemon at least has a different type attached to the ground one to give his team some variety so that they don't all get wiped out by one type. Kabutops is the lone exception of not being a Ground type in his team, but that's because he has a special attachement that guy.

 

 

( ❝ battle ethics ) -- Hit them as hard and fast as possible with only the strongest and most deadliest attacks, don't give an opportunity for the opponent to defend or retaliate. Relies solely on Special Attack and Speed, doesn't give a damn about Defense at all. Tends to abuse attacks that are most effective on the opponent teams and those that can hit multiple targets at once.
