Jacob "Jake" Smith

History
Jake is from a small town in the mountains of Colorado. He lived an almost normal, happy life-if you could go by his odd knack for bulding "impossible" things and seeing the occasional monster. In a series of apparently unimportant events, Jake ended up in Camp Half Blood. He wasn't exactly the happiest camper ever. However, he managed to make some lasting friend, and learned to get used to the camp lifestyle. Over the years, he quickly becamse a respected seniro camper, what with his skills in the forge, his fighting skills, and with other campers. Since Camp Half Blood is very important to him, his mom moved to an apartment in New Jersey with his dog, Thor. When it isn't summer, it's rare to see him at camp, as he prefers to go to school and spend some time with his family.

Personality
Jake is a terribly stubborn and impulsive demigod. He'll boldly say anything on his mind and come running into situations before he know what's going on, often getting into many sorts of situations. Fortunately, his witty thinking usually gets him out of those events, Once he sets his mind on something, it's quite hard to change it.......until something better comes up. He will usually stick with his projects and never lets them go until it finishes, becoming a nie factor for his loyalty to his friends. He's friendly enough, but it may take time before he bestows the name "friend" upon anyone. But once you do, he'll be a loyal friend on your side.

Fatal Flaw

Determined and stubborness is Jake's main flaw; he has never been the one to give up on anything; ever. Some times it can be a good thing. Most of the time? Not really. Jake rarely backs down from anything he's already commited to. While it makes good qualities to becoming a nice friend--he'd even take a bullet for some of them!--it often has him living in the forges, immersed in some sort of project that has him up at all sorts of ungodly hours working on his project.He'd gladly skips meals, sleep, and even showers until his project is done. Expect Jake to jump into something impulsively and not leave it for a while-but that's something we all do, right?

Talents and Weapons
Being the son of Hephaestus, Jake can make nearly anything, from a giant transformer automation of awesomeness to everyday swords and shields. His power--Hephaestus's fire--tends to help out. When fighting, he tends to grab a sword, and suprisingly, a shield. Usually, he carries a utility knife around with him.

Physical Appearance
Jake is a guy of average height. He is noted for his dirty blone hair and blue eyes, often sporting a green jacket, even if it's too hot outside, as if provides him with many pockets. He may have some muscles-but is it really anything to brag about? ;)
