Personality: Jake likes to joke around a lot, and tries to find ways to lighten the mood by cracking a joke with sarcasm here and there. Overall however, his comedy is his coping mechanism for his despair he usually feels. He's very stoic, with the only emotion he presents to everyone else is laughing and the occasional smile. He's a nice guy, he's sympathetic, but on the inside he's well aware of every situation and not very confrontational. He won't hesitate to kill, he's willing to do whatever it takes.

Backstory: Growing up Jake was part of a VERY happy and well put together family. He had a mom and dad who loved him very much, and an older brother who was his best friend. He was well liked in school, and people knew him as the cheerful, funny guy. He played outside his whole life, and even participated in sports. By the age of 10, his older brother, Randy, decided Jake needed to train for the Hunger Games, in case of the WORST scenario. They started with normal training, but after their father passed by age 15, Jake lost himself in his training. He became less happy, less cheerful, less of himself. He slowly found himself in his normal self again a year later, after having time to cope and get a grip on reality. Randy became more distanced, as he has become the man of the house, and Jake helped around by picking up a part time job to help the workload. A week before Jake's sixteenth birthday, Randy was executed by peacekeepers for trying to steal to feed his family. Jake was absolutely crushed from this, and he never really recovered. He still trained, but less often because now it was just him and his mom. He had to work all day, dropped out of school, and focused on supporting his mother. This was when Jake realized he wasn't making enough to support his mother. She grew sick, and they hired a nurse to look after her when Jake wasn't home. The nurse accepted a low amount of pay, due to being a family friend. They became poorer and poorer, slowly going into poverty. Two weeks before the reaping, Jake was eventually fired after getting into a fight at work with someone who made fun of his dead older brother. Not seeing another way out, he lost himself in his training, deciding that he would VOLUNTEER for the games, win, and be able to support his mom for the rest of their lives.

Interview Angle: He'll show off as much charisma and charm as he can, but it will all be an act. On the inside, he hates the games, he hates the capitol, but he's doing what he has to do to support his mom. He'll tell the capitol of his situation back home, and hope to garner some sympathy points with sponsors.

Bloodbath Strategy: He'll look to run into the cornucopia, pick up his weapon of choice, and snag a backpack before taking off. IF anyone gets in his way, he'll look to defeat and KILL them before running away. He doesn't WANT to kill, but if presented with a challenger, he'll kill without a second thought.

Games Strategy: After the bloodbath he'll mostly hide out if he has sufficient supplies. If he needs any, he'll look to scavenge. Around day two or three, he'll start hunting down other tributes to speed the games up.

Token: Necklace, that has a tiny heart, with a picture of his entire family from when he was nine.

Height: 6'1

Fears: Dying, not being able to save his mom with the correct expensive medicine.

Alliance: He'll look to align with a smaller alliance, but if a larger alliance presents itself he'll join.
