STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum)
Strengths
Strengths
- Creative – Jake enjoys finding the perfect solution for the people he cares about. To do this, he draws on his vivid imagination and his strong sense of compassion. This can make him an excellent counselor and advisor; something that was proven as the Right Hand to the Queen of Gipra.
- Insightful – Jake typically strives to move past appearances and get to the heart of things. This can give him an almost uncanny ability to understand people’s true motivations, feelings, and needs.
- Principled – Jake tends to have deeply held beliefs, and his conviction often shines through when he speaks or writes about subjects that matter to him. Jake can be a compelling and inspiring communicator, with his idealism persuading even the hardest of skeptics.
- Passionate – Jake can pursue his ideals with a single-mindedness that may catch others off guard. He rarely settles for “good enough,” and his willingness to disrupt the status quo may not please everyone. That said, Jake’s passion for his chosen cause is a key aspect of his personality.
- Altruistic – Jake generally aims to use his strengths for the greater good – he rarely enjoys succeeding at other people’s expense. He tends to think about how his actions affect others, and his goal is to behave in a way that will help the people around him and make their lives better. He lives to serve; an attitude that was never removed from him.
Weaknesses
- Sensitive to Criticism – When someone challenges his principles or values, Jake may react strongly .He can become defensive in the face of criticism and conflict, particularly when it comes to issues that are near to his heart.
- Reluctant to Open Up – Jake values honesty, but he is fiercely private. He may find it difficult to open up and be vulnerable about his struggles. This might also be because he thinks they need to solve his problems on his own or don’t want to burden other people with his issues. When Jake doesn’t ask for help, he may inadvertently hold himself back or create distance in his relationships.
- Perfectionistic – Jake is all but defined by idealism. While this is a wonderful quality in many ways, an ideal situation is not always possible. He might find it difficult to appreciate his job, living situation, or relationships if he’s continually fixating on imperfections and wondering whether he is a disappointment to those around him.
- Avoiding the Ordinary – Jake tends to be motivated by a sense of having a greater purpose in life. He might consider it tedious or unnecessary to break his big visions into small, manageable steps. But he may be setting himself up for frustration if he doesn’t turn his dreams into everyday routines and to-do lists. Without these specifics, his goals may never materialize.
- Prone to Burnout – Jake’s perfectionism and reserve may leave him with few options for letting off steam. Jake can exhaust himself if they don’t find a way to balance his drive to help others with necessary self-care and rest.
PERSONALITY
Gravis is distinguished by both his complexity of character and the unusual range and depth of his talents. Gravis is deeply concerned about his relations with certain individuals. He is, in fact, sometimes mistaken for being an extrovert because he can appear so outgoing and is so genuinely interested in people. On the contrary, Gravis is a true introvert, a man who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among his long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." While instinctively courting the personal demands of those close to Gravis may withdraw within himself, shutting out even those closest to him as his mind becomes focused on a task at hand. This apparent paradox is a necessary escape valve for him, providing both time to rebuild his depleted resources and a filter to prevent the emotional overload to which he is so susceptible. As a pattern of behavior, it is perhaps the most confusing aspect of the enigmatic character of Gravis to outsiders, and hence the most often misunderstood -- particularly by those who have little experience with him.
Due in part to the unique perspective produced by this alternation between detachment and involvement in the lives of the people around him, Gravis may well have the clearest insights when compared to others. He can see into the motivations of others, for good and for evil. The most important contributing factor to this uncanny gift, however, are the empathic abilities he subconsciously holds as he protects those closest to him. This empathy can serve as a classic example of the two-edged nature for some of Gravis talents, as it can be strong enough to cause discomfort or pain in negative or stressful situations. More explicit inner conflicts are also not uncommon in Gravis. For instance, there can sometimes be a "tug-of-war" between Gravis idealism and his natural practicality that urges compromise for the sake of achieving the highest priority goals. All of this while enhancing self-awareness, may make it difficult for Gravis to articulate his deepest and most convoluted feelings.
Usually self-expression comes more easily to Gravis on paper, as he tends to have strong writing skills. This is easily seen in early hand written communications with his wife. Since in addition to this he possessed a strong personal charisma it doesn’t take much to see what point Gravis is trying to make. Gravis does perceive himself at a disadvantage when dealing with the mystique and formality of "hard logic", and in academic terms this may cause a tendency to gravitate towards more liberal approaches when problem solving. Beneath his quiet exterior, Gravis holds deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Gravis can be considered are champions of those close to him; willing to drop everything at a moments notice to protect those he truly loves. He is often not too far from his Master or family. Gravis does fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize his confidants. The concept of 'poetic justice' is most appealing to him.
Accurately suspicious about others' motives, Gravis is not easily led. By all accounts his wife and Master are the only ones capable of giving him an order that he will actually follow. Gravis is also one of the few that it is hard to fool due to his highly suspicious nature. Though affable and sympathetic to most, Gravis is selective about his friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words. However to lose his friendship is quite easy and once lost it may be near impossible to regain it. Gravis has a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the Gravis to know and be known by others intimately.
APPEARANCE
Gravis stands at 6'1'' tall and a slimming weight of 190 lbs. His overall frame is lean to fit. Nothing about his screams muscular. On top of this Gravis tends to hold a grizzled look these days (think lonely mountain man) with shaggy facial hair, tangled hair, and an otherwise unkempt appearance. He prefers to wear long sleeved shirts, denim pants and boots most of the time. Notable physical attributes of Gravis is that his torso, back, legs and arms are covered in scars from a battered lifestyle. He has only one testicle (due to the other being cut off by his own Master). Gravis does tend to walk with a limp in cold weather due to a nasty break his right knee suffered months before going into cryostasis.
