Clothing: He tends to wear cut-off jeans or shorts most of the time, since anything he wears would just get shredded when he phases. He'll also wear a t-shirt and sneakers when going out into the general public.
Basic Personality: Jacob is sarcastic and cheery, but is also hot-headed. He's been described as a "happy person" that can extend his happiness to others around him. He's very protective of his friends. He's a natural leader, though reluctant about being one. Even though he's one of the strongest of the shapeshifters, he's not cocky about it. Like most shapeshifters, he has anger problems, though he’s worked to get them under control. Now he can pretty much keep himself from getting mad enough to suddenly phase, though it sometimes takes effort. Another trait he picked up as a shapeshifter is his hunger. He can eat a large meal all by himself and rarely turns down an offer for food.

History[/center]
- Born in 1990 in La Push, Washington, Jacob Black was the youngest child to Billy and Sarah Black. Growing up on the Quiluete Reservation he attended the schools there. When he was still very young his parents went driving to Forks and crashed the truck, crippling Billy and killing Sarah. One summer when he was around six he met the daughter of his father’s best friend, Isabella. She was nice to him but shy, so Jake made it his mission to show her around and make her feel comfortable. Jake was sad when she left to go back to her mother’s house but was happy to find out that she was going to come back next summer. A few summers later he didn’t see her and found out that she wasn’t coming back at all.
When he was in junior high his twin older sisters, Rachel and Rebecca, went off to college leaving him with Billy all alone in their tiny home. He made friends with a couple kids as he went through school but none were as close to him as Embry and Quil (his second cousin). They grew up together and joked around after school. When he would go home he would help his dad with things around the house, and that was when Billy first showed him how to fix a radio. Jake fell in love and could always be be found working with little electrical things around the house, fixing them even when most didn’t need to be fixed. He just loved figuring out how they worked. As he grew he learned to fix many different things but none gave him joy as when he got to fix the car’s engine when it wouldn’t start.
The year he turned fourteen his father bought him a car to fix up and make his own. It was a little Rabbit and this thrilled Jake, but Billy gave him the condition that he couldn’t fix up another car until he finished with it. He slowly fixed the car, piece at a time. The next year he was taking a break with the car and went to the beach with a couple of other kids from the reservation and smiled when he spotted who was there; it was Bella. Walking to her he talked to her and their friendship slowly grew from that point on until he realized that he had a crush on her. It wasn’t very long after her boyfriend first left that he phased for the first time, scared of it at first. Once he was able to calm down enough to understand what he was, Sam came and told him that he was to be the leader; which was his birth right. Jacob refused, not wanting to be the leader of anything, and let Sam take over.
After Edward cam back to Bella, Jacob did not trust the vampire, believing he would only hurt her. As other vampires started to threaten Bella, Jacob protected her, even though his anger was mostly focused on Edward. During the battle with Victoria, the red-headed leech, Jake was worried he would lose Bella forever until she kissed him. He knew at then that his feelings for her had grown, almost into love. He felt drawn to her somehow and wondered why he didn’t imprint on her. Jake was crushed the day he found out that Bella and Edward were getting married and ran away in his wolf form. He made it to the northern part of Canada and gave up, becoming more like a real wolf than ever before. He wandered for a while, not really heading anywhere but he knew that her big day was coming up and ran to her the morning of the wedding. He danced with her, and thought she never looked more beautiful. When Edward came for her he became furious that she was, one: going to let the leech touch her and two: not being changed till after. He couldn’t take it and his anger caused him to stay in his wolf form more then his human one, the pain easing that way.
Staying home for the next week or so he wondered what had become of her. Then he heard from Charlie that Bella caught a rare disease from South America and was being kept at the Cullen’s place. He went to her, wanting to see if it was true and was shocked to discover she was pregnant. Talking to Edward he found out that the house was split: some wanting the child while others, including Edward, wanting it dead. Not knowing what to do he went to Sam, his alpha, and told him about the thing growing inside Bella. Sam wanted nothing more then to kill it and the entire Cullen family. Jake couldn’t let that happen and refused Sam, leaving the pack and running solo. He went back to the house to protect Bella, with help from Leah and Seth Clearwater. The day the baby was born Jake knew he was going to lose Bella; the child was killing her from the inside. Looking at her dead body on the table with Edward trying his best to save her, Jake felt his world fall out from under him and slowly walked down the stairs. That was when he first saw her; the little baby girl. His world had purpose once again.
Sample Roleplay
- The wolf had been running for a long time. It was tired and hungry. It ran quickly through the trees, sniffing out a trail to food. Not making a sound it walked closer to the scent. The warm body not far in front of the wolf made its mouth water. The warm body ran and the wolf chased it. Dodging around trees and charging through plants the wolf made headway and caught the deer, snapping its neck. The wolf set it down and looked at it before tearing into it, eating with hungry gulps. As the wolf finished its food it walked away from the carcass in search of what it needed next; water. It soon found a stream and leaned it's head down to drink, the act itself calming to the wolf. As it drank its full, odd thoughts started filtering in; thoughts that didn't deal with hunting or running. It soon finished and started running again, trying to escape the thoughts that had broken its peace.
It kept its daily routine: running, hunting, and sleeping. Its sleep was filled with dreams from another life; the life of a human. Slowly over time it began to realize that at one point it was that human. It had a name, but it couldn't remember what it was. It continued on it's way, heading in a direction it knew it had once come from. It continued having dreams of that other life; it had a family and friends. But it still couldn't remember its name. One night as it slept it had dreams of other humans calling it by this name. When the wolf woke up, he remembered his name. Jacob.
He ran further south, not yet remembering why. He could feel that there was a reason, but it was always on the edge of his mind. As he continued he had flashes of other memories. He remembered his sisters going away to college, and his father buying him the Rabbit to fix up. He remembered hanging out with Embry and Quil, and all the fun they had as kids. He had all these wonderful memories; why did he leave? Then he remembered Bella. He remembered talking to her at the beach. He remembered when her boyfriend, the leech, had broken her heart and left her. He remembered trying his best to cheer her up and how she didn't care that he was a shapeshifter. Then he remembered that she went back to the leech, and was going to marry him. He started running faster, trying to escape the memories and the pain, but it was too late. He remembered it all, and it hurt all over again. As he ran he started focusing on the memories of his time with her. He had helped her through a bad time for her, and was her best friend. Yet she was getting married and he had left. What kind of friend was he? He knew he should be there for her, no matter how badly it hurt. As he got closer to town he caught a glimpse of a newspaper and saw the date. He took off running faster, praying he wasn't going to be late...
