Twisted, Twisted, Shooting Stars

Meet the 'Hero': Jacob Orion Columbus

Jacob Orion Columbus is a side character in my fanfic, Twisted Wonderland: Our Precious Treasure. When he was little, he wasn't that good at making friends, often with fiery temper headbutting with stangers. He's the youngest of the bunch and the last member of a friend group called 'Shooting Stars', along with his three friends. He often complains about how stupid his leader plans are, but still loyal to him to a fault.

Personality: Jacob is a quite difficult kid to approach because of his trust issue. He doesn't have friends growing up so he doesn't really know how to socialize with his peers. He's blunt and honest, sometimes doesn't even care about others' feelings. He would also hide his face every time he gets excited, like pulling his jacket close to his face.

Jacob is actually a brilliant-but-lazy type. He's able to build his own magical wheel with the scraps that he found in the nearby junkyard, but at the same time he would never do his homework, takes nap in class, and don't even bother with the exam. He's also surprisingly good with animals.

Cold on the outside, but he's crying on the inside. He's basically that one kid who has trouble showing how much it hurts him and how he regrets doing everything he had done but never really make an effort in doing it. Everyone had already seen how bad he is, so why bother change. He's a lonely kid and questioning his future often. He really wants to know where he belongs and what's his purpose in this world? While he loves his mother, he also realized that he only causes more troubles.

History:

Jacob was born in Radiant Haven, a small harbor town located near the Valley of Thorn. His mother works in a family inn owns by a friend of hers while he didn't really know what his father's job was. His mother was the one who mostly raised him for his father was nearly absent in his file. Little Jacob tried his best to gain his father's attention but always fail in the end. One day, his father just... left and never return. The little family never recover from that. But lucky for them, the family dinner's boss is very kind and very supportive of her. His son was also a childhood friend with Jacob, but he soon left to continue his study. Jacob wasn't the best at coping with his father's disappearance. He refuses to remember the man who just up and left without saying goodbye. Jacob grew up becoming a troublemaker, both in school and in his everyday life despite knowing how much it hurts his mother.

Unique Magic: Portkey Gate, which allows him to teleport anywhere he had stepped his foot in. However, this only works if he knows and remembers where is he going. This is also not an offensive type of magic, so he needs other ways to attacks.
