Editing Nevermore:Jake Keller

=Jacob Keller, Marquis of Ties That Bind=

Jake is a character in the [[Nobilis]] game, [[Nevermore:Main_Page|Nevermore]].

'''Appearance''': Jake is a man in his late twenties. He wears simple clothes that can be worn comfortably at work or at play with his kids. His skin is pale, a trait he gets from his mother's Irish ancestry, but his short, curly hair is as black as his Jewish father's. His face is narrow, though his nose is a little broader than most Europeans'.

Jake has a certain unquantifiable quality to his character since being enNobled; no one can quite understand it, but anyone who stays in Jake's presence for more than a few minutes becomes tied to him in one way or another. They know that, somehow, Jake has assumed some sort of role in their life and--whether for good or ill--they know that they will see him again.

'''History'''(Abbreviated): Jacob Keller is a family man. He married right after High school, quit college to work full time when his wife became pregnant, and turned down jobs and promotions that would take away time with him and his family. His whole world revolved around his family (extended and in-laws, to a lesser extent, too) and he loved them with all his heart. 

When Katrina hit and swept away his home in her raging waters, Jacob held on to his family with all his strength. Arms and legs wrapped around a tree, he held on to his wife and two children throughout the night. As the waters continued to rise and his strength waned, he watched in utter horror as his wife was swept from him and there was nothing he could do to prevent it. 

Once the storm was over and things settled down, he carried his son and daughter through disease and corpse ridden waters to safety, taking no share in the food or clean water they found so that his children might have more. When they arrived at the shelter, he began the desperate search for his wife. Days went by, turned into weeks, but still he could find none who had seen or heard of her. Nevertheless, he never gave up. He could still feel her out their, could feel their connection; he knew she was alive. 

The Power of The Ties That Bind was growing weary and was preparing to loosen her ties to Life, ready to pass on her title. Divining Jacob's intensity and dedication, she passed her title and powers on to him. 

Instantly, he became aware of the tie that bound him to his wife. Not stopping to wonder what had happened to him or what he now was, he followed the trail straight to the shelter his wife had been lodged in.
