Personality
At first glance, Jak is a little bit cocky, almost to the fault of arrogance. Though they don't try to be difficult, it tends to come easy.
Unfortunately, Jak is anxiety given human form and under the bravado is a nerd just trying their best to prove themself. Jak is wildly smart, but when it's not feeding their ego, its causing them to overthink every little thing.
TECH
A blackpowder gun of Jak's own design, Bad Luck is one of a kind in its craftsmanship. Stealth is never in the cards with Bad Luck, as the gun is thunderous in its performance.
Built to resembler an owlbear, VII is a large mechanical construct. Largely built out of steel, Jak has used mithril to reinforce the design.
Though he lacks true intelligence, VII can respond to Jak's commands and serves as something of a tank in battle.
Jak has since installed a third eye on VII that allows them to see what VII sees when they are apart.
The Fly spell is often cast on VII to give him and his rider flight.
TRIVIA
- Jak learned to speak goblin through practice with the marauding goblin clan near their home to barter and trade for cheap and unique materials.
- Jak is entirely mindful of the wealth they have and will pinch every copper, but spend recklessly on new materials for their latest inventions.
- While Jak tries to view every failure as a learning process and a way to 'not do' whatever it was they were doing, they will push themselves to dangerous degrees to succeed and prove their worth.
Biography
Jak and their siblings were raised on the stories of great-great-grandma Nessa, a dragon slayer and hunter of great renown. But time goes on, stories become just that, and it's been a very long time since any Wrymfeld took up hunting for more than filling the butcher shop's freezer.
Always a curious child, Jak did what they could to get their hands on any book they could, but in a small town like theirs, gold and books are hard to come by. Still, that did little to dampen their inquisitive nature and Jak was known for creative ways to get in and out of trouble growing up.
After seeing the work of the heroes of Dragon Falls in person - namely that of Dr. Lyle Gray and his mechanic creations - Jak knew they had to study under the tiefling. They devoted the next few years to earning their place in his university as something of a scholarship student.
Now they use their scholarship funds to the absolute limit, testing out new creations, their mentor's patience, and proving their worth one success at a time.
Design
BUILD. Jak is lanky and athletically built. They do not hide the fact they are AFAB, but they don't necessarily flaunt it. They are fairly androgynous, but tend to come off as more masculine.
EYES. They have bright amber eyes.
HAIR. Dirty blonde and tightly curled, they are currently wearing their sides shaved and their ponytail short.
BAD LUCK is a black powder musket, designed and built by Jak. With a darker wood stock and a shining silver barrel, Jak is rarely seen without the gun strapped across their back. Carved on the stock are the numerals XIII.
While Jak tends to have simple, functional tastes, they have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to their long coats. Not only do they favor fiery colors, but they tend to be covered in soot or grease as well. When it comes to working on their latest inventions, Jak's not afraid to get dirty.
Relationships
Jak and Climber sparked a competitive friendship built on artificery that has since developed into something more.
Signus [ teammate ]A young rogue who reminds Jak of their younger siblings: both in the infuriating and endearing ways of family.
Homer [ ally-ish ]A pain in their ass time wizard, every version of Homer is lucky Jak doesn't shove their gun up his ass. Well. The dog was alright.
Dr. Gray [ mentor ]Founder of the Dragon Falls University, Jak has looked up to Lyle Gray since the artificer and his team saved their town.
