Character Name: Jacob "Jake" Luke Long | Hero Names: The American Dragon (New York) | Dragon Fire (Venture City)

Character Canon: American Dragon Jake Long

Canon Background: Wiki link

Omegafriends Background: Jake Long was still born in New York as a half-dragon boy to his canon family. His grandfather was named his instructor and mentor by the Dragon Council and he began his training at age 13. Jake went through many of the adventures he did in canon under his grandfather's training, basically the first season and then up until Homecoming during his last year in middle school. Once the Huntsclan was destroyed, it was decided that Jake would need to complete his training as a dragon.

The council decided it was time to send him on his way so he could train himself and learn from others. Venture City was decided to be the location and he was given a full ride to finish out middle school and then high school a private school in the city (which I will add into the location registry if Jake is accepted). His goal is to establish himself in the city and discover what it means to be a true guardian. What better place than a city full of heroes, right?

Affiliation: Independent Hero, may possibly join the Omegafriends later.

Personality: What can be said about the personality of Jake Long? On the surface he's much like any other kid his age. He is the cocky boy next door who knows how to talk smack, break dance, and is a smooth talker or likes to believe he is. He puts on a front of a confident young player who could get any girl he wants and can do anything he sets his mind to. This front runs deep and breaking through it is a difficult task. He is a teenage boy with a large ego that he feels he has to show off to compete with the other boys. Your usual boisterous 14 year old boy from New York. This is not all there is to him though. This outer part of him does play a big role in some of his more negative qualities however.

Those negative qualities being; his inability to focus on more serious issues at times, his obsession with his image and his looks, his shirking of responsibilities, his ego, and his issues with authority. Due to all these traits, it causes Jake to be a handful for any mentor or authority figure, thus causing instant problems between them and Jake. He isn't one to sit still and learn. He enjoys moving and doing the things he wants to do rather than things he has to. In contrast, he is much more willing and likely to befriend and make connects with people like him and/or around his own age and enjoy skipping out on duties with them. These traits stem from the front I mentioned earlier. They are deeper qualities but they aren't who he is deep down.

Jake has many more qualities than the pushy hip New Yorker he lets people see. He is a kind boy who cares for others, especially those he has a deep connection with. He enjoys his role as protector of the magical world, even with all the complaining he does. In the end, it is part of who he is. He is the guardian, the protector of magical creatures and everything he holds close. This side of him is seen less often or mixed in with the New Yorker side but it's still there and it is strong. He is a hero through and through and even if some of his more selfish tendencies can lead him to make mistakes, he isn't one to do anything truly malicious. When he does something bad, it usually ends up snowballing on him and gets out of control. None of it is really intentional. He enjoys helping people far more than hurting them.

Along with a teenage boldness and the want to fit in, Jake also has the typical teenage angst. His ego, though large, is also fragile and he takes how others see him very seriously. He has a sensitive heart and when he feels threatened or like he's being replaced, it hurts him. He questions his self-worth often and it leads him to always strive to be the best. He doesn't handle rejection well and if Rose is any indication, when he falls for someone he falls hard and fast. He wants people to like him and will try to do almost anything to get praise and good attention from others. He wears his emotion on his sleeve more than he should and they often greatly affect his judgment.

Jake Long is your average 14 year old Chinese-American boy who just has a lot of extra responsibilities. Despite this, Jake does his best to keep going, clinging to fun and happy times rather than letting them get him down...most of the time. He doesn't handle some things well but he can still bounce back due to his age and lighthearted personality. He's a good kid deep down who tries hard at the things he likes and shrugs off those he doesn't. Slacker, player, smooth talking, awkward, sensitive, and over all funny guy. That's Jake Long.

There aren't any large difference between his OU and AU personality due to the similarities in the background. He still strives to be the best he can at what he does and hold up the responsibilities of being a guardian and hero.

Powers: His powers won't differ from the canon powers either and his main weakness is still Sphinx Hair as it drains a dragon of all of their powers and renders them weak.

Jake has several abilities in and out of dragon form so I'll be splitting them up into three categories for his human abilities, his in-between abilities, and his full on dragon abilities.

Human Abilities: Outside if his dragon powers Jake has quite a few skills that set him above others. He is proficient in kung-fu and possibly somewhere in the upper ranks of belt color. He is able to take on other humans with ease if he wants to and with his training can take on some magical creatures without even going dragon. He is good at defending himself if he can stay focused enough during battle. He is also a great dancer and is really good at break dancing. He often will preform for his classmates and even have dance battles with them. He can sing on top of it and enjoys beat-boxing and rapping, though he can sing more traditional songs too.

Jake is intuitive and can figure things out quickly should he not be blinded by emotions or actually focusing on things. He is a good researcher too if he can just keep his head in the game. He is also a great skateboarder from having years of practice.

However he is horrible at anything and everything concerned with food preparation of a higher degree than making a sandwich and basic breakfast foods. Anything doing with food serving with him is a nightmare. He cannot do any of those things without messing up or breaking things. He is almost cursed when it comes to this kind of work. The boy just can't do it.

In-between Abilities: Jake does have the ability to call upon some of this other dragon abilities while still in human form. One of them is calling upon certain aspects of his dragon form to help him such as; eyes of the dragon that let him see in the dark, zoom in and out, and detect magical creatures. Ears of the dragon that let him hear from further away and detect things easier. Claws of the dragon to claw at things or use them to pick locks. Tail of the dragon so he an trip up opponents and use it to grab things. Feet of the dragon to give himself a lift. Wings of the dragon so he can glide. Finally head of the dragon to combine eyes, ears, teeth which can cut through steal cable, and fire breathing or fireball spitting.

He also has the power to shapeshift as that is how he changes himself from dragon to human form. This power can be amplified so he can take on other people's appearances with a potion but doing so locks away all his other dragon powers.

Jake can also create fireballs in his hand to throw at opponents that don't come out of his mouth either, though the typically are smaller and less powerful. Part of this ability seems that he is resistant to his own fire and other non-magical fire, making him pretty immune to such flames.

Full on Dragon abilities: Once Jake goes full dragon he obtains some rather nice abilities. He has full fire breathing power and fireball spitting powers. He has dragon strength which allows him to overcome the strength of creatures like Ogres and Trolls. He can also amplify his strength by flapping his wings to build up momentum. He can lift heavy objects, like ripping a massive screen off the side of a building and throwing it. His claws are also sharp enough to break through concrete and steal, allowing for some good escaping abilities.

He can fly as most dragons can and is very skilled at moving aerodynamically. He also can fly up to miles of 179 miles per hour if not slightly faster, making him one tough dragon to catch if he has the chance to build up speed.

His scales along his neck and back are tough like armor and hard to penetrate. His underbelly is softer and a weak point for him in battle. He can take much more damage in his stronger areas than his weaker ones. He also has an instant kill spot behind the left ear. A strong solid hit behind his left ear will kill him.

His tail is very maneuverable and strong. It acts as a third arm of sorts and can be used to wrestle with people, pull things, Jake can put all his weight on it and stand on it much like a Kangaroo can do, and it can pack a punch if hit with it.

His dragon feet are also useful in battle as he has learned to use them in a fight like makeshift hands to block attacks if his arms are otherwise indisposed. This gives him a full five limb fighting advantage.

Sample: Jake pulled at the tie around his neck. He lowered it just a bit more and looked back in the reflection of the window. He was just outside campus, backpack on his back and skateboard under his arm. He had made a few changes to the outfit. The tie hung loose around his neck, the jacket a bit roughed up and the pants hung lower on his hips. Sure, he couldn't cut it up but that didn't mean he wasn't going to add some style to the outfit. He checked his hair one more time in the reflection. It was good. The hair gel held it just like he wanted it to.He let out a sigh but his stomach still felt like it was upside down. He had to get this right.

"You can do this, Jake. It's just like back home." He whispered to himself. He put the skateboard on the ground and put one foot on the board. He kicked off and kicked again, building speed. The gate to the school was coming up. He reached out and grabbed one of the bars to pull off a sharp turn on the board. Students gasped as he raced into the courtyard. He sped passed a group of girls and gave them a wink as he ollied up onto one of the benches. He held his balance as he pulled off a grind across the back and stuck the landing. He headed for the fountain next. He flipped forward and caught himself with one hand on the fountain, his feet and other hand still on the board. The cheers came. He grinned and leaned forward. This was how you made a great first impression.

"YOU THERE!" Came a loud voice. Jake jolted and put too much weight forward. The rolled in the air and landed square on his rear, his skateboard rolling off to be stopped by the foot of an instructor. "Headmaster's office! This instant!" The instructor yelled. The other students began to scramble, giggle, and chuckle at the boy on the ground.

"Awwwwh man."

Notes: Nope.
