( 10 Facts about my Characters )

HERE WE GO. Some of these people might already know, others might be new? Either way. Time to do the thing.

  1. Jacob Nicholas Andris is named after his father Nicholas and a grandfather on his mother’s side.
  2. His birthday is August 27th (coming up pretty soon actually)
  3. He is/was on his high school’s boxing team. In his canon story, he was unable to be on the team for his senior year of high school due to the events of Bowman of Wellwood.
  4. He broke his arm once in middle school.
  5. He’s decently proficient in Greek, as he learned it growing up from both his parents and especially in talking to his various grandparents, who insisted on him learning.
  6. His best friend is Qi Shi “Chase” Lisong, whom he met shortly after Chase’s family moved to the US from Jiuquan in China.
  7. For a short period of time, Chase’s younger sister Minnie had a crush on Jacob, a fact that Chase gives them both endless shit about.
  8. Jacob is asexual and aromantic! He went on one (1) date and discovered that it’s all more than he cares to deal with.
  9. Jacob learned his love of camping and the outdoors from his dad, who used to take him on small trips whenever he could.
  10. In his spare time, he reads a lot. Jacob knows he tends to look more like the big dumb jock than anything else, but he keeps himself fairly well-read.

TorchMLP: So does Jacob have any other living relatives besides his mom?
Neon: He’s got plenty! He’s got his grandmothers and extended family, but most of them live far away. On his mom’s side, they live in the states, but on his dad’s side most of them are back in Greece. Jacob is proficient in Greek so he can converse with these family members.
TorchMLP: For some reason I thought his Greek side came from his mom XD are all his relatives on his dad’s side so tol?
Neon: Both his parents are Greek, so you were not wrong XD His mom is just first generation and his dad was from Greece. And yeah, many of them are pretty tol guys. Jacob is definitely in the higher percentile for Greek men in general, based on my research. Beeg family
TorchMLP: for some reason when I picture Jacob’s grandmother, I imagine a very smol woman scolding a tol teenage Jake
Neon: That’s very accurate XD Why hasn’t he started dating a nice Greek girl yet. Jacob, grandma’s not going to live forever you know

All they have to do is ask! If it ever comes up in an AU, it seems like Sam is more likely to take interest in languages. Jacob would be happy to teach either of them a few phrases in Greek, since he’s quite proficient in it (when he’s home, calls from grandma are usually held in entirely Greek at her stubborn insistence).

Of course, I can also see Dean finding something written in ancient Greek and telling Jacob to take a stab at it. Jacob would have to explain that modern Greek has heavily evolved from its roots, just like English has.

Have a question for us? Ask away! And don’t feel like it has to be just about the stories! We’re open to talk about anything!
