Jacob...is sort of complicated. He has powers that he uses in his job as the supernatural guardian of a very strange island, and they are rather god-like in nature. For example, he has a sort of omniscience about people- he knows who they are even before he really gets to know them. He can even see somewhat into a person's future (but this power will be gone in Vatheon, to keep things unpredictable for him). A noteworthy power of his is that whenever he touches someone through a handshake, a clasp of the shoulder, etc., the person he touches can experience anything from a change in the way of thinking to a push of their destinies in a particular direction. This power won't be as powerful as it was back where he came from, but he can definitely effect things somewhat if he decides to touch you. (Also, clothing has no effect on his touch or not. You could be wearing twelve layers of clothing and yet still feel a change.) So, here are some questions you can fill out before I throw Jacob at your characters.

Can he know your name even before he starts to talk to you?
He'll just pick up on the name through his omniscience, not their entire life story.


How much can he know about your character?
Their history, their way of thinking, stuff like that. Or maybe he won't pick up anything at all. Your choice.


If he decides to touch your character (through a handshake, giving them something, etc.), what effect do you want it to have on your character?
Jacob doesn't do this regularly, and only does it to people who he believes has potential. The effect could be as little as a mood change (ex: why am I feeling happier all of a sudden?) to a slight push in what they're planning to do (ex: I really want to talk to my hated rival once again for some reason. Huh.). Nothing too big, though! He could bestow immortality back home but this is not going to happen in Vatheon, sorry. And, of course, you could say that his touch has no effect at all.






Just copy, paste, and fill out the form if you could! Thank you. :)

Minato Arisato | Persona 3

Can he know your name even before he starts to talk to you? Yes he can~


How much can he know about your character? He can know whatever he'd like! Minato is pretty much an open book as it is. His morals are very basic as well--he thinks everyone deserves the opportunity to make their own choices, and that those shouldn't be taken from them.
He can pick up on the fact that Minato died as well, if he wants too.


If he decides to touch your character (through a handshake, giving them something, etc.), what effect do you want it to have on your character? Oh, sure, whatever works for the situation is just fine by me!


We need God and Jesus to chat each other up in here anyway
