✓ Polite: Jake thinks of himself as a gentleman of sorts and always seems to have a tendency to call people "madame", "miss", "sir" and of the like, along with saying please and thank you. He seems to be mindful of his space and almost over analytical over the fact of if he is intruding or not. This can be a draw back of sorts sometimes— sometimes he's too polite to where it's almost annoying or he is too hesitant to take the lead. Typically, however, his polite manners are appreciated.
✓ Caring: Jake is seen being very caring and supportive of his friends as they play Sburb. For example, he seems to be devastated when Jane is injured and killed by the red miles. People he cares about can drastically effect his personality. If they're sad, he is also sad with them.
✓ Friendly: Jake is super, super friendly and almost naive when meeting new people. This makes developing friendships pretty easy for him because he wants to interact and talk to everybody (even if it sometimes is just about himself.) Jake is easy to open up to other individuals about personal problems, such as venting to his new guide, Erisolsprite, in the Medium. He seems to treat his new guide like somebody he has known for years. After being isolated from people to talk to, you'd be excited to see some new faces too!
✓ Energetic: He has a copious amount of energy from all of his adventuring. Jake always seems to be on the go with things, and this is a pro when it comes to his favorite past time of... running away. Really, it isn't hard for Jake to draw attention to himself— he does it unintentionally, but we see in some of the most recent updates it isn't something he really enjoys.
✓ Adequate at wrestling: It's his job, and battling a robot for 2+ years has definitely helped him improve, though he does seem to get his ass kicked by machinery from time to time; a fight with another human might end up with a different ending. This is a positive sign that Jake is trained to defend himself and others.

✓ Good stamina: From all of that running, chasing, shooting bullcrap on his island. This goes back to his adequacy at wrestling and how it can effect him.
✓ Bruiser Brainer: Occasionally can tap into his subconscious and have a brilliant idea or suggestion. It can come out of nowhere amongst his clueless kind of behavior, but Jake wants to help others, and sometimes has a good idea at what to do.
✓ Great with guns: His signature is double pistols and it's his favorite to fight with other than his bare hands. Count on Jake to have terrific aim and knowledge in this regard. He builds his gun collection up when he can, though most of it is inherited from his grandmother.


✗ Oblivious/naive: We don't know what sort of upbringing his mother gave him, but she might have sheltered him a bit. Jake is pretty naive and oblivious to things and can take things literally. This makes him gullible and an easy target for opponents to take advantage of him as they well. We see examples of this when he confuses Lil Hal's texting with Dirk's early on in the comic. If somebody is gonna fall for it, count on Jake to.
✗ Easily hurt: Emotional. Jake is seen crying numerous times in the webcomic, usually over childish things or his own little pity party. You see, Jake tends to focus on himself too much in the sense that he over analyzes his bad features and puts negative attention on himself. He blames himself a lot for the way things outcome in cases such as this.
✗ Cowardly: In most cases, Jake prefers to run away. There are a few instances he spontaneously takes lead and bravery for the goodness of others, but for the most part he prefers to not start confrontation.
✗ Nervous: Sweaty palms, stuttering, scattered thinking— all characteristic. He gets nervous very easily over numerous things such as insecurity in his friendships or meeting a new individual. Women tend to make him more flustered than men— especially those who are attractive or flirtatious.
✗ Low self esteem: This goes hand and hand with his easily hurt characteristic. Jake is just too hard on himself sometimes and doesn't seem to take much effort to hide it.
✗ Forgetful: Jake has fond memories of his childhood, but sometimes he has difficulty keeping simple facts straight.
✗ Worrier: Goodness gracious, he worries over everything. This can cause him to be indecisive and fickle with ideas or suggestions so it's not the best for other people to rely on his choices.
✗ Peanuts: His allergy to them is very sensitive— very, very sensitive. After all, it is what was used to kill his dream form. Jake cannot eat anything with peanuts in them for health reasons.
✗ Comfort Zone: Any sort of off topic conversation thrown at him that's inappropriate to him can possibly throw him off guard and make him vulnerable. Stuttering, stammering— you'll see stuff like this happening if the conversation gets too skeevy for his comfort. His comfort zone is very limited and restricted, so sometimes he prefers to avoid a conversation or tiptoe around it.
