Character profileJakob Maren
Currently offline Description of the character hapter 1 Blonde, muscular, strange. Three simple words to describe Jakob's appearance at first sight. His hair is blonde, short and always put tight to one side, if it wasn't for the strand of hair that always falls into his face over his ice-blue eyes. Radiant and blue, almost like the aura of an ice flame. Defined facial features and a gentle smile on his lips will allow you to fall into a familiar environment - just with his gaze. You assume that he is friendly and sincere. His wardrobe changes , but one thing you always recognize: it is too small. Referrable to his muscles and his trained body, the cloth fitting tight and loosens the one or other seam. Wide, thick arms, very big hands, strong, trained legs. If he is standing in the shadow, one could suspect a bear who lost its way. Unlike his friendly face, this muscular physique can be a quite intimidating. Strange like his clothes is also his mind. Colorful clothes with different patterns sewn in, as well as his bright blue bag with a yellow inscription give his semblance. At certain intervals you can see him in different colours and clothes. From finely woven fabric or dirty used clothing to light armour made of leather and fur, no variant seems to be too bizarre for him. Recently you can recognize a dagger on his belt, forged from reddish-brown metal with a golden inscription “Knowledge is power”. Contrary to any assuming, he speaks more sophisticated and refined than many others at his age of mid twenty. Friendly and open conversations are always connected with his personality and of course a little joke should not be missing. Weird for his young years, he appears to be at work structured and solid. It seems that he has enjoyed a schooling in speech and writing. Jakob sometimes seems very mysterious, but his friendly nature let you quickly overlook this and if you want to know more about him, he seems not relucting to tell you something. Despite his robust body, he always achieves high success in skillful dependent tasks. If you watch him work with the needle, he is very precise and fast. Skillful hand movements testify to a good journeyman of his kind. Even after a price negotiation you will notice another strange thing, a craftsman who is not entirely after collecting money. Often he also offers something to eat or an exchange as payment after work is done - you don't know whether this is due to a lack of knowledge or to kindness. You should ask him. Colorful, open, different. Another three words that come to your mind after the physical observation. --- Chapter 2 Quiet, Introverted, Serious. Three words that have been coming to your mind when you see him. His blond hair has a hint of brown in it, but upon closer inspection it seems to come from dirt. It lies neatly back, holding its position. Not a strand comes loose. His ice-blue eyes no longer have the radiance of before, dull and tired they lie on you, seeming to watch you closely. On his lips there is no longer the usual smile, just a serious look. His clothes seem to have changed as well, instead of a colourful mixture, the clothes are dull. The armor lies almost perfectly on his body, covering every part. The shod gloves surround every finger and the fur pants armor both legs. His boots appear new, little used, and stretch well above his ankles. Around him is a brown robe with black insignia. The cloak completes the man's appearance but makes him look unassuming. As you try to converse with him, he seems withdrawn, noticeably quiet, almost dismissive, the usually open nature is not felt. He speaks little, if then only in partial sentences. He watches you quietly but seems to listen carefully. With his left hand he makes in regular intervals non-descriptive movements, it could seem strange to you. Less often you see him in the workshop, he is sitting on the benches of the town, reading parchments or enjoying the sun. The grandmaster tailor has apparently turned his back on practice to be a theorist. Jakob, who is otherwise full of energy, probably enjoys the peace and quiet, being alone and thinking. At least it seems so. Unhappy, Absent, Changed. Three more words that come to your mind after you have talked with him. --- Chapter 3 Noble, Friendly, Mature. Three words with which you would perhaps assess him by now. The young man with his bright blond and loose hair stands before you with a smile. The lonely strand falls in front of his ice-blue eyes, as usual, and together with the friendly gaze he conveys a familiar, but also safe environment. In further conversation you often see his cheeky grin and a wink. His clothing is changeable but always very fine. His handwriting is noticeable on it, the seams are more colorful, different than usual, emblems and signs decorate the robe. Skin-tight the clothes lie on his body and seem almost too small. Every muscle is clearly visible, he definitely seems to work out often. A small purse hangs from his belt and the bag around his neck is in blue colored leather. In his left hand he firmly holds a bluish walking stick. It looks strange, various runes and emblems are carved on it and the pommel, which is enclosed by the hand, gives off a glow. You wonder if you've detected any movement in it, but it's hard to make out anything. The end of the stick taps dully when it hits the ground. He seems to be holding the walking stick but not using it as he walks, strange. When you look up again you notice the strange blue amulet around his neck, but you have difficulties to looking at it closely. On the back you recognize a partisan, it is different from normal ones. Made of a different material and perfectly crafted, it lies protected and yet ready to hand. The young man doesn't seem to be an easy opponent, or maybe he is? In the further conversation he seems very open and friendly, likes to have a joke in store, but can still remain serious. Helpful, Energetic, Ambitious. Three more words that might come to your mind about him now. --- Chapter 4
