Personality: (at least 2 paragraphs)
Jacob is divided into two personalities. His primary one is a quiet person with a gentle and sweet heart, more than used to being betrayed, burned and deceived. His family has made him extremely patient and quick witted, always thinking on his toes and always having a backup plan in case. He is what many consider one of the last gentlemen of the world because of his manners and courtesies.
His other personality is quiet different. While he remains silent, he uses his silence to memorize facts about people and calculate how to use this against the person. He is also able to size a person up within two minutes of meeting them, deciding whether it’s the truth or not. When pushed, Jacob is capable of unleashing a fury that his father would be proud of. This side of him is the Swan legacy; manipulating people with unstable anger.

Appearance: (at least 2 paragraphs)
When looking at Jacob for the first time, his shape features are often what catches the eye first. His eyes are either comforting or piercing and his smile often helps decide these things. His wild hair is often the source of annoyance to the stylist at the modeling jobs since it is often in streaks back to his head, his hair often a softening grace to his hard facial features. His ears have two piecing each, one hoop in the lobe and two spikes over his right brow; when working he always removes them to maintain his professional status.
His physique is at an Olympic swimmers level, his years of weight training and intense martial arts training granting his well defined and powerful body. Jacob is also very flexible and has a high stamina that helps him hold poses for various shoots. He has a tattoo above each bicep, both very subtle and tasteful Japanese characters, serenity and honor.

Other Important Family: Andrew Tsung, Godfather
Thoughts on Family: (first person POV please)
I have two families, one of blood and one of love. I was born into the Swan family but I never loved any of them, save my baby sister Joce. She was the only light of happiness in my life. My father was a bastard who had more mistresses and booze than was good for him and my mother was the cold hard bitch of the century; sure, they left me an inheritance but that’s nothing to what abuse they gave me. Rupert? I never want to see that self righteous fucking prick again, the one man who stole everything that I wanted from me and left me to my rage and darkness.
I came into the Tsung family, even if I will never use their last name because I am not worth of it. Andrew and Mariko raised me as their own from when I was a teenager with their other four children and I got more love from them than my blood family ever gave me. They calmed the rage that came with my father’s legacy, they instilled what was right and what was wrong in me, they made me. That is why I say they are my family over anyone else.

Childhood History:
Jacob was the eldest son of the Swan family, two years older than his brother Rupert and three years older than Jocelyn. Walter Swan, a successful lawyer, was disappointed when his son showed no interest in being the suave business man that he hoped for and Janice Swan, CEO of ING, found him to be disgusting since he was not as physically fit as his other siblings; Janice divorced her husband and left with Rupert. As well as not being exceptionally intelligent, this lead to his father abusing him emotionally by treating him worse than the family dog.
The family maid, Rosa, and Jocelyn were his only sources of happiness, unaware that they were being abused sexually by his father. Rosa took the time and care with Jacob so that he had some motherly love, even if it was a minuet amount of what he needed

Teenage History:
Jacob attended Reddington High School and was discovered to be gift with culinary skills and designs creations on computers and paper. He also found himself able to do several acting roles in school and in the charity theatre, becoming a promising actor for the theatre. His life at his father’s home continued to be a living hell for him and he would take his aggression out in the school gym. He used his overwhelming negative life to force his body to become fitter and stronger and even began kickboxing with the school’s coach. He was very reclusive of other people, despite his attractive looks and soft spoken demeanor making him quiet appealing to women. Slowly he began to let people in and he found his friends, though small in numbers, were closer that his family.
Rupert, his brother, was taught that by tormenting and upstaging him that he could gain the world in his hands. So his brother did so, gaining the respect of Jacob’s friends and slowly pulling them away from his brother. One example of this was when Jacob was set to perform an important role for a play, his brother scheduled to have a upper class concert and none of Jacob’s friends made it to his performance. The concert also kept the important patrons from coming too, crippling the box office in come and the theatre’s reputation.
One night, Jacob was coming home late from a movie with his friends and he caught his father assaulting Rosa and Jocelyn. Now seventeen, Jacob’s rage took over and he beat his father, breaking his jaw and arm. After that night, the Swan family plunged dangerously; his father killed his sister and then himself a week later and Rosa left him too, saying that the devil was now in his eyes.
Jacob refused to be sent to his mother’s home, the woman never accepting him nor loving him, and was sent to his godfather’s home in China. Andrew Tsu was Walter Swan’s best man and college roommate, becoming the eldest boy’s godfather. He and his wife were horrified to hear all that he had to endure, welcoming him with love into their family. However, the rage and violence was deep seated in Jacob and he was expelled when he got in a fight with another kid who had insulted his new family. Andrew helped Jacob conquer his rage through meditation and martial arts training, his academics improving as he quelled his rage.

Adult History: (If applicable)
It was around this time, while in university and at the dojo, that he was picked up by a local modeling agency and he began his career with them. He stayed with Tsu family until he finished university and moved to Chicago to work with an American modeling agency at the age of twenty two. He now is a regular model with Abercrombie and Fitch but has been known to other shoots for various magazines.
He established himself as a part time night club designer and an impressive chef in a local restaurant, as well as coffee shop worker, a tattoo designer and a trainer for upcoming kickboxers at the local gym. Ironically, Jacob lives within a block of all his jobs. While many of his high profile friends often question his other jobs, Jacob feels that this is a suitable way to give back to the community.
All things considered, Jacob is very well off for his age, having received his father’s wealth via inheritance and living modestly in a simple apartment. He refrains form the lifestyle of his class and finds his heart in the white and blue collar community.

Sample RP:
Taken from Swear for Good:

Sirius was silent as she left, smiling as she walked away and then sighed as he rolled over and laid on his back once she was gone. He was surprised that he really wanted to go after her but found himself staying, like a good dog…

His face was now one of thought and worry, specifically about the young witch that had captured his heart. He hoped that Dorcas would be alright, that her gift wouldn’t drive her mad. The one thing that he hadn’t told her was that a family member of his family was a Seer and he had taken care of her on more than one occasion, the vision slowly driving her mad as nothing good came to her eyes.

He looked up and saw that bird, so shy before was now with another one of darker feathers. Together they slowly spread their wings and took off, fluttering near Sirius as he watched them and smiled slowly. For some reason, the young Black could feel that Dorcas would b alright; it wasn’t a gut feeling but something deep non the less.

He watched as the sun finally faded and he rolled over, warily looking around before transforming in the shadow of a tree. He then trotted off to the Forbidden Forest to see the centaurs, hoping they might have answer a question for his Divination homework.
