Personality: Almost overly outgoing, friendly and incredibly hotblooded. A little reckless, but never entirely without a plan of some sort. Very loyal to those he considers friends, and a little over protective of women. Also a little obsessed with a certain possession of his..
History: An up and coming treasure hunter and adventurer out to make a name for himself among the various greats in his particular field, and willing to go to great extremes to achieve his goals. From a rather unexciting background and family he always felt an overwhelming need to lead a life of excitement and danger, pracitcally craving the adrenaline rush it gave to him. He had worked with several treasure hunting and adventuring groups throughout his career, but he remained under the radar for quite a while. Though that all changed during one particular expedition where he was determined to earn the fame he deserved. It was the culmination of a couple of year's worth of investigating and questioning as well as researching of ancient Mayan civilizations and writings, and if successful the greatest achievement he had ever accomplished. It a rather exciting chase involving traps, mercenaries, violent natives, and even a cliche giant boulder trying to crush him, and in the end he got the treasure that would catapult him into success: an authentic Crystal Skull. Soon enough he began appearing on magazine covers, newspaper articles, tv shows and all over the internet. To this day he keeps the Crystal Skull with him, unwilling to part with it under any circumstances, even when offered ridiculously huge sums since he considers it a priceless artifact which more or less validates the path that he has taken in his life.
In time though he soon found his subsequent treasure hunts and adventures less than satisying and less of a rush. Because of this he found himself in a time of lethargy and stagnation as he desperately looked for dangerous hunts for mysterious artifacts, which in turn led to a rather self destructive spiral as he continued looking out more and more dangerous expeditions, believing that anything that wasnt a potential risk to his life wasnt worth the effort. Eventually his friends and family forced him to take an indefinite break from treasure hunting, fearing that he may not come back one of those days. Thus leading to yet another time of boredom for him.
It was around that time that SGS had been scouting for a new team of Boukengers when Akashi Satoru had read an article about him and his apparent retirement. Being very familiar with the burning desire to adventure, and how being unable to satisfy it was rather painful. And thus Jake ended up being hand picked by Akashi to be his replacement as Boukenred, an offer which Jake eagerly accepted.
He is a pretty good leader to the team thanks to his friendly nature, though sometimes he can be a little too outgoing to the point where it's almost a little irritating to others, and overprotective of his female comrades. believing them to be as important as the treasures he finds. He is also a good planner as his previous experience had taught him the importance of a good solid plan before an expedition. He is also a valuablee asset thanks to his knowledge of languages both ancient and modern as well as his puzzle solving abilities, photographic memory , unusual strength and some martial arts training he recieved when he was younger. It should also be noted that he doesnt lead the healthiest lifestyle, preferring fatty fried foods, fried chicken in particular, over healthier foods, luckily though his active lifestyle somewhat offsets that. He also has a tendency to never take it easy when feeling sick, or even acknowledging when he doesnt feel well, often meaning someone has to take him take it easy.
