Name: Jake Jarozu
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Professional Martial Artist, Occasional Traveler, Eternal Failure

Appearance: Six feet tall, muscular, light brown hair buzzed down to near baldness, and bright blue eyes. When fighting, Jake usually wears a white muscle shirt, navy blue martial gi pants, black combat boots, and weighted white wristbands. His casual clothing involves wearing a navy blue jacket on top of everything else.

Special Abilities: Jake has always had difficulty mastering any ki control more difficult than flying, and as such whenever he tries to create an energy blast it usually ends up exploding in his hand. Years of constant failure practice has taught him how to channel the explosion away from his body, and he has even incorporated this "technique" into his fighting style. His failures training has also increased his body's durability against ki blasts.

Jake is also a superb martial artist (perhaps the only thing he has truly succeeded at), and prides himself on his blend of speed and strength.

Equipment: Nothing that hasn't already been mentioned

Biography: Jake's father, Han, competed regularly in the World Tournament until he broke his arm during the semi-finals, insisted on continuing, and broke his leg in the finals. Not just a clean break either, his bones were shattered. With any hope of fighting again shattered (like the bones in his arm and leg), he decided to do the only logical thing: Have a son and live through him by forcing him to be a great martial artist.

Jake spent most of his youth training under his father and various local martial artists. He competed every year in the Junior Division of the Tenkaichi Budokai, often making it to the semi-finals, and on one occasion to the final round. His father had never been more ashamed. Han Jarozu had raised a winner, not this failure. But Han was no quitter, and he refused to let Jake's inadequacy stop him from raising the greatest martial artist ever. Thus Jake began training to control his Ki. Three weeks later his training ended with Jake unable to create a simple ki blast without it exploding in his face. Han declared his son a complete failure and banished him from his home. He was fifteen at the time.

Jake spent the following years of his life training, traveling between cities, and hunting down any and all Martial Art Masters he could find, hoping that one of them might help him overcome his crippling failure with Ki control. He would also make a point to compete in the Tenkaichi Budokai every year, though he has yet to win and prove himself to his father.
