Jacob Rowe
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2023 9:44 pm
Name: Jacob Euphrates Rowe
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Hobbies and Interests: Yoga, meditation, painting, YouTube
Appearance: Jacob is a tall, yet skinny man, standing at 6'3 and weighing 137 pounds. As such, he has a rather lanky frame not helped by his large wingspan. He is of Caucasian descent, though a darker shade than others. His facial features are quite muted, including small, brown, rounded eyes, a shallow chin, an elongated midface, and curly jet-black hair, usually cut in a bob shape that stops at the chin. His wardrobe is rather typical, wearing block-colored shirts and jeans. Jacob always wears his mood ring on his left middle finger as it helps express how he's feeling. On the day of the abduction, Jacob wore a white t-shirt with a gray hoodie, stonewashed blue jeans, and black sneakers.
Biography: Jacob was born in St. Paul, Minnesota to parents Terrence Rowe and River Kershaw. Terrence and River are known across St. Paul for their successful craft beer company, "The River Rowes". Neither came from much early in their lives, but Kershaw had a degree in business and management, one that came in handy upon the opening of their organization. While the two have yet to officially marry, both are very happy living with one another and their three children, Jacob, Kaara, and Valerie, living in the suburbs of St. Paul as blue-collar middle-class citizens.
Early on in life, Jacob had serious issues communicating his needs and wants, being diagnosed with autism at a very early age and being nonverbal until the age of 3. Even then, Jacob found it difficult to express himself in daily life. While never bullied or made to look inferior in Pre-K or elementary school, he was excluded by other kids, thanks in large part to his lack of social skills. On the eve of his fifth birthday, Terrence presented Jacob with a custom-commissioned mood ring. Unlike most mood rings, which change color based on body heat, Jacob's was designed with a wide range of colors which he could reveal one at a time by turning the band, allowing him to create a system to express his emotions and desires even without speaking (for example RAL 3026 or Red means angry, and RAL 5011 / Dark Blue means sad), and which he uses almost unconsciously to this day. This, along with his improved speech thanks to years of speech therapy, helped improve conditions for Jacob considerably and he was able to get past elementary school with relative ease. To this day, Jacob is grateful that his parents were able to help him through his early years, and will forever be devoted to them.
As Jacob approached middle school, he began to take up art, particularly painting, using the medium as a way to find peace with himself and create immersive worlds. Art would go on to become the defining subject of his public school career, also being the one school subject he consistently excelled at, being average to substandard in other subjects. He also had a sexual awakening of sorts, taking attraction to guys alongside girls. This would become the subject of a rather unfortunate incident as Jacob's first gay crush was able to decipher how he was feeling quickly and rejected him before Jacob could respond. Since then, Jacob has found it very hard to form personal relationships with others, too emotionally hurt to trust himself with them.
In high school, Jacob began experimenting with his mood ring, trying out other things such as religion, alcohol, and other remedies. This led to another unfortunate incident where Jacob and another kid were busy experimenting with marijuana. Despite Jacob's clear hesitance, the kid would pressure him to try it, assuring him that it was fun. That evening, Jacob and the kid would get into a bad driving accident with the kid bolting from the scene, framing Jacob in the process. Thankfully, a neighbor had observed the matter from a distance and helped clear Jacob’s name, helped by the fact that only a stop sign and some garbage cans were knocked over. Not long after, Jacob would discover yoga, quickly becoming a second afterschool activity that brought about peace, helping to process his emotions and navigate against stress, outside of being enjoyable. As he continued this venture, Jacob began exploring other methods of mediation and began reading books on psychology and feelings, slowly growing a talent for examining emotions. Seeing a need to help other people going through their own struggles, he created a YouTube channel where he narrates guided mediation sessions and discusses neurodivergent awareness, a channel that is still active one year after its creation. As of now, Jacob has not garnered much of a following, standing at only a few hundred subscribers, but he's happy doing what he loves and interacting with his fledgling community.
Jacob remains introverted, although not to the same degree as he was back in elementary school. He keeps in touch with a few close friends and tries to talk with them online, but he'd prefer to form his own social events for his friends to partake in rather than join others, as it can take some time for Jacob to warm up to someone. Jacob however is the closest with his family, his father, Terrence, in particular, as he has worked with children with ASD in the past. In their spare time, Terrence and Jacob work on crafting homemade cider for the business and partake in family meditation sessions. Jacob does maintain a strong relationship with River, though it can be strained at times due to her busy work schedule. Despite this, River does make time during the weekend for park visits, where Jacob and his family can get fresh air and roam about. Kaara serves as the black sheep of the Rowe siblings, being extroverted, loud, and a star student, serving on the middle school's brainiac team. While the two have their squabbles, Kaara does tone things down when around Jacob and does appreciate the mediation sessions. Valerie, having also been diagnosed with ASD, looks up to Jacob as a role model and often tries to follow his word, even if it doesn't always go to plan. Jacob finds her quite amusing and will always do his best to help her out, especially regarding meditation techniques. He has no concrete plans for after high school but has been in early talks with his parents regarding potential involvement with the cider business while studying for a degree in psychology, which he plans to start at a community college before transferring to a four-year school.
Advantages: Jacob is a naturally empathetic person who sees the best in others and wants to help them realize their potential. His calm, sturdy personality makes Jacob a good person to talk to when trouble emerges. Jacob is also very good at reading others' emotions, having read up on psychology. This makes it easier for Jacob to understand their concerns or wants and makes him able to plan accordingly.
Disadvantages: While Jacob can read others' emotions with precision, it's stupidly easy to telegraph Jacob's feelings when they spring forward, especially with his mood ring. Jacob's introverted nature makes it hard to decipher whether someone is being honest with him or not. As such, he keeps most of his personal matters private, so as to not bring others into his world. As a result, Jacob is easily taken advantage of by people who want to manipulate others for their own gain.
