Personality:
Jake has had to grow up fast for a boy who just days ago had his thirteenth birthday. As such, he’s a quick thinker, and even faster problem solver on most days. He’s known to talk his way out of trouble easily - but often lets this go to his head and inevitably almost always lands himself in trouble. The police around his part of town know him well, they just can’t catch him.
Having been raised by a miner rubbed off on him in some ways. He’s sarcastic, headstrong, and his foul language leaves something to be desired. But that’s ok - because deep down he’s also a sweet kid. Known to put others before himself - even in his current situation. Though he also isn’t a chump, you lose his trust, or take advantage and that’s usually it for him.
That said there’s another side to him: the soft little kid underneath. No one realty sees this side - as he does his best to hide it. But really, he’s been in over his head for a long time and he knows it. Though a steely resolve and society’s general view of the Kaon urchins has steeled him over time. In the end, however, he can’t deny the truth: he’s a kid who just wants to belong somewhere.
History:
Jake was found wandering the streets of Kaon at sixteen months old, and immediately the well-meaning miners who found him knew why. It wasn’t a secret that most people in Kaon would find the toddler, whose left arm was only a stump, a burden. But Copperhead, the leader, did not.
Instead, the mech silently took him as an informal ward - wishing not to fight the legal system for him. He gave Jake a stable, albeit unconventional life and for the most part they were very happy. The boy grew up fluent in Cybertronian and was often known to help his guardian with his work when he could. Despite the hard labor, and slum life Jake was very much loved and nurtured.
His life came to a grinding hauler when he was seven and Copperhead perished in a cave-in. Jake was promptly kicked out of his foreclosed home, and found none of the other miners had the means to take him in. Quickly, he fell into a constant life of begging and sleeping in alleys. And while he made a quick buck, he barely managed to survive.
It wasn’t until Kosmoton found him that things took a better turn. The mech spun a good yarn when he’d met him at a charity event. Run a few errands, do a few things for his friends; and keep his mouth shut and he’d make sure he was fed and taken care of. Jake was still homeless but at least now could continue his life in earnest.
However, as he became older things got stranger. The jobs got to be in seedier parts of town, and the lingering eyes and optics of the men around him did not go unnoticed. It wasn’t long after he was eleven he watched them slaughter a man in cold blood and he realized he was in with the mob.
By then, he was so far in he couldn’t visibly find a way out. And now that he knew the truth, Kosmoton made him his favored “human” - the latest in his manajorie of exotic pets. Jake still lives on the streets, but they all know he’s “Kosmoton’s” human now and he’s begun to feel like little more than a toy - property of a dangerous mech - bordering on his slave.
Jake is desperately looking for a way out - and he’s hoping now that Megatron and the “real” Decepticons have returned to restore order - now may finally be his chance.
