✖ CHARACTER:
Name: Jake English
Canon: Homestuck

Info links: http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Jake_English
Canon Point: Entering the game
Gender & Sex: Male
Age: 15 (couple weeks away from 16)
Birthdate/Sign: December 1st. Jake’s birthday isn’t canonly stated; however, it is widely assumed (and implied in canon) that Jake shares his birthday with Jade Harley, his ectobiological daughter. This assumption can be figured as accurate, too, considering John and Jane (also ectobiologically related) share a birthday, and Homestuck is always making these sort of parallels. The alpha storyline also starts on November 11th, and it is implied in canon that it is almost Jake’s birthday. Consequently, this makes him a Sagittarius.
Tattoo: Mid upper back, following the spine and pointing upward.
Suitability:
Jake fending for himself is no big thing. Having lost the care of his grandmother at the age of about five or six, Jake has spent most of his life having to care for himself on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific. He lived with a slew of monsters, many of which were out for his life. Needless to say, Jake has a certain tenacity that drives him to live. Jake is also at a point in his life where hormones are a little hyped, (in fact, it’s part of SBURB’s design to have players join the game at an age of maturity.) He quiet often “misinterprets” things in a sexual context: when Jane says she’d had a dream about him, he responds “Oh my! *glasses fog up. fumbles for kerchief.*”
Regardless of his maturing sexuality, Jake will be reluctant and unwilling at first, perhaps bearing for some time with mild resistance against the urges. However, Jake’s powers of resistance are not remarkable. Adapting will be embarrassing for him, though he probably wouldn’t openly ADMIT to it being embarrassing. He’ll keep to people he’s familiar with at first before branching out. Eventually it’ll be old hash, even if in private he’ll still be embarrassed as all fuck.
Power: Summoning
Personality:
Jake English is a gentleman -slash- explorer -slash- massive dork -slash- all around good guy with a few ridiculous quirks. He likes movies of the two-star-action-comedy variety, skulls, guns, and women who are an unnatural shade of—can you guess?--blue. Now, if that were all there were to Jake, this would be easy, but lucky for us, Jake is no simpleton. We’ll start off with his more gentlemanly nature.
Jake considers himself a gentleman, which is really not far off! Jake is kind to girls, as he should be, so when he speaks with uranianUmbra (also: UU), Jade, or Roxy, Jake is courteous and well-mannered. When “learning” that Jane has “no romantic” interest in him, Jake’s approach (though extremely mislead) is kind and humble. He lets Jane know he’s alright with it and even apologizes for assuming that she DID like him before the “big reveal”!! He lets her know it’s alright that she’s turned him down, and assures her she’s a lovely lady by all standards. With Roxy he’s game for silliness, and maintains his good nature. As a gentleman, Jake tries not to be too boisterous or proud, and keeps his massive hoards of energy down to a chill that he might seem collected and humble. Mind, Jake wouldn’t take away all of his merits; he has some pride as a gentleman!
Now, don’t get me wrong, he’s not up there talking in some whack job high-classed British accent like he just popped out of Oxford with a degree in the English language!! Heck, Jane even corrects him on his grammar at one point. Think more like Bert from Mary Poppins: unrefined and friendly. Jake is friendly, open, somewhat bubbly about things. He uses RIDICULOUS words that fall into a ‘lesser used’ category: “Phew, this room is lousy with smoke!!” or “He’s the cat’s pajamas!” More or less, he talks like he’s someone’s grandpa (ha ha), and even admits to Dirk that yes, he does in fact talk as such. Jake likely adapted much of his lingo from his grandma, and watching movies and talking to his friends keeps his speech pattern somewhat modernized. A lot of folks would say he “talks funny”.
Jake is not all prim and proper, OH NO!!!! You’re forgetting that Jake is also an EXPLORER -slash- ADVENTURER!!! And shit son, he CANNOT be stopped. Jake loves loves l o v e s adventure, and talks about it almost constantly. Adventure is, in fact, a driving factor of his personality. One such example is when Jake is exploring around the ruins near his island. Two transportalizers sat there, and regardless of the Auto-responder’s (henceforth AR) insistence that he NOT jump on one of them, Jake screams out that he just HAS TO GET ON ONE OF THEM, WHAT IF ADVENTURE AWAITS ON THE OTHER SIDE?????? Meanwhile he probably should have been working on getting Dirk into their session; if it’s not obvious, Jake can be kind of a moron. Jake’s love for adventure can also be a good way to manipulate him, which is definitely not a good thing. AR does so in more recent updates, challenging his adventure-ly nature and telling him that a REAL explorer would definitely kiss that decapitated head. Totally gross, right? But after being challenged, Jake could NOT back down, and the results were cosmically ridiculous.
Jake’s love of adventure shows also in his love for movies and comic books. For comic books there isn’t nearly as much to say; he seems to love super hero comics for the most part, such as the Hulk and Spiderwoman. Movies, however, are something he greatly enjoys talking about, and to be very frank, his taste in movies can be hideous. Fortunately, it’s hard to find an action movie truly hideous when the action scenes are just SO DANGNAB COOL!!!! If you’ve never seen Ghost Rider with our beloved Nic Cage, you cannot grasp the truthiness of his movie love. Jake seems to “acknowledge” when a movie is mediocre, but that doesn’t stop him from loving it. He loves mediocre films BECAUSE they’re mediocre, and nobody can deny the quality of a bad action movie. He also seems to like bad comedies. Weekend at Bernie’s, anyone?
No doubt, his love of movies and comics brings about a few other strange adorations. His love of blue women is mind boggling; it’s not even that he finds Mystic from X-men attractive: it’s all blue chicks. He’s even got a picture of a Smurf on his bedroom wall; upon SEEING Aranea he developed a sudden crush!!! The kid is ridiculous, true facts. Additionally, he is a great listener, especially when it comes to stories. Both Dirk and Aranea explain long stories to Jake regarding the past, present, and future, and for both of them Jake is highly attentive, inquisitive, and interested in both of their tales. In short, Jake loves stories of all shape and form, and would gladly listen to anyone if they had a story to tell.
Jake can be something of a moron; take for example his sylladex. For whatever reason, Jake thought it was a good idea to captchalogue bullets one at a time and shove into his sylladex. Later this proves to be problematic in some respect, seeing as when he tries to shove something into his sylladex, many of the bullets fall out and make a mess around his room. He also mistakenly shoots a Tinkerbull while wandering the jungle. In another case, when Jane is epically FAILING to admit that she may have a Thing for Jake, her obviously half-hearted attempts go unrecognized by Jake. He wouldn’t notice anything was fishy in the moment. Jake is an “act first, think later” sort of person, for the most part, which is probably a good thing for a guy like him! He has smarts enough to know that, when he’s falling from the sky, to be quick on his feet to throw on his skullcap, which more than likely saved his life!! Jake thinks on his toes, then, so complex plans and what have you are not his thing- -that would be something more of Dirk’s tastes.
But, of course, as all Homestuck characters are, Jake has those EXTRA layers that don’t come up nearly as much. Jake isn’t Full Moron like it might otherwise seem; Jake can be in-tune to things that seem fishy, like being somewhat aware that both Dirk and Jane perhaps really do/did have a thing for him! He admits to Jane that he’s had the suspicion for some time that Dirk was making flirtatious advances, and may be subconsciously aware that his conversation with Jane about “not liking him” also had something suspicious to it. Tying back into the “act first, think later” Jake would likely not read between the lines on a matter until it has long since passed.
One could also infer that ALL of the Homestuck kids are VERY dedicated to their friends, and Jake is just the same as them all! He loves his friends a lot and really likes them. Ironically, though, Jake is probably the LEAST prepared for the adventure that he’s about to take one, despite being the one who’s so gungho about adventure. Not totally sure what I mean? In the Beta series, when John is killed, Rose flips and attacks, trying to Get Shit Done. In the alpha series, when Jane is impaled by the red miles, Jake is completely petrified, still, and mostly useless; meanwhile Dirk is Getting Shit Done. This likely has a lot to do with his role as a Page, and his potential as a hero have yet to shine through, but in the beginning, the hardships of adventure will definitely put him in many tight spots he isn’t ready for.
Dedicated to his friends as he is, he… has a hypocritical tendency not to realize when he’s being a shitty friend. Let’s look at this page for a second. “But you were so preoccupied with your Geromy sticker you didn't notice. It was a rare lapse in awareness of your surroundings…” it says, but truth be told? Jake is RARELY aware of his surroundings. Jake would boast himself to be a HUGELY great person with MANY magnificent qualities, when in many cases he’s just the opposite. He’s sincere when he says these things, but truth be told, he isn’t actually aware that it’s not true, and hasn’t really caught on.
Jake also has a huge imagination, which quite frequently takes on a more perverted state. If he catches himself saying something with some sexual innuendo, he flips out from embarrassment. At the prospect of a romantic relationship, he tempts the idea. He’s tense on such manners, but he doesn’t break his good nature; he’ll become awkward and unsure. Jake is also easily distracted from things he ought to be doing or talking about, and without a little arm twisting, often won’t do it at all.

Hello?
Oh drat hold on while i fix this eye sore.
Here we are. A much more suitable color for my fancy i should say.
And boy did I wake up with the worst crick in my back. Seems to have straightened itself out but hot dog that’s the last time im taking a snooze on any stone slabs.
Now then it seems this letter hers covered the happensabout of the place. Pretty suspicious sounding all vague like that it is. Any thoughts guys?
Boy but this sure all does sound exciting to me on another note! Didn’t really think theyd have me start off fresh like this im going to miss good old husktop. Sure do look forward to lending a hand here though. Itll be a spanking ripsnorter of a time i can already tell!
Oh right!!! Cant say I know if theres more folks around here but just in case…
The names jake english and you could say im pretty dadgum new. I figured i ought to get that all taken care of before I give the place a good look around looks like theres some pretty sweet stuff here. The ceiling painting is pretty nice too yeowzers.
But! No use lollygagging around here. Theres an adventure to get on with!
Ill be in my green skullcap so just give a shout if anyone wishes to meet with me.
"Zodionlogs" Third-Person Prose Entry:
When he woke up, Jake expected to be with his friends. He wanted them there as much as anything, and he expected that if he were to go off on an adventure, it would be with them at his side. Of course, they aren’t there, nor would they have been even if this HAD been their session of the game. Squeezing his eyes tight, he rose with a BIG yawn, stretching and relaxing his shoulders. This place was beautiful, he thought, turning his head to view his surroundings. When he tipped his head back though to look up, pain seared through is spine. “Holy--!!” Again, his eyes squeezed shut and he tensed.
It was over… boy did it hurt, but even a moment later he felt fine again. His eyes opened again and stares at the ceiling. The picture was beautiful as well, he thought. A smile crossed his lip as he let out a dry, but enthused laugh. It was just like he’d always hoped it would be, and already he felt that he could smell adventure on the horizon. He stood, turning, looking at each symbol and picture in turn, and thrilled to finally have a taste of the excitement he’d always yearned for.
Running butt first into the pedestal, he turned with a yelp. His hands held each side of it, unsure if it was going to fall, and then relaxes again. “Hehe, that could have been a real doozy!” But it was good he had run into it, or he might have never read the letter. It had fallen off, and he took it with a curious look.
Upon reading it he knew he was in for a world of excitement, and was bursting with joy. But first!! He chose to examine the device given to him. “Curious…” he muttered, but nothing troubled him. A smile rested on his lips as he typed away, ignorant to the second message for him.
