Personality
Easy going, and generally willing to help others if it suits him, Jakob makes for a strange Assassin. He tries not to stress about the future, and often ends up in roles that seem more heroic than evil. This is often confused as altruism, despite Jakob having his own, more selfish, reasons for helping others.
Easily bored, it's possible he suffers a mild depression, or is just addicted to the adrenaline rush involved when taking a life. Either way, he is typically subdued and often acts just to give him something to do. Fighting his own leanings towards seclusion Jakob surrounds himself with others more social than himself, who help keep him busy and alert. He views unwanted idleness as something dangerous, and can become very irritable when he's prevented from busying himself. On his own terms he can be quite lazy.
Jakob is self-conscious about being Dark Bui, and is prone to assuming others judge him for his skin color rather than his personality or other attributes. It's a weakness he's aware of, and he does his best to ignore the nagging thoughts of insecurity when they arise. Wearing a hoodie has become his clothing of choice to help hide this, and he is rarely seen without one. As of late this issue has become less prominent in his life, since Disparatus is more accepting than Earth. However any comments regarding his half-breed nature or dark elf blood, which he identifies with, is a good way to incite him to anger.
Family Life
Son of Dr. Prishka Shacher, Chemical Weapons Engineer, Jakob has been raised with a need to excel. His mother always pushed him towards the sciences as a child, before finally accepting that he hadn't inherited her prodigious skills. Prishka tries her best as a mother, but is often more of a scientist than a parent. Stubborn and a compulsive liar, Prishka's relationship with her son can be volatile. Her secretive nature, need for control, and constant falsehoods have created a divide between them, and Jakob dislikes lying because of her.
Jakob's father, Mern, is a black market arms dealer, and exceptionally quiet man. While always present in his son's life, he has never tried to push Jakob in any given direction. Unlike his wife, Mern is a regular constant. Like Jakob he avoids lying, and more often chooses silence in its stead. In situations where he is expected to take sides between Jakob and Prishka, he either sides with his wife or remains uninvolved.
