PERSONALITY

Jacob is a bit of an enigma. To his students, he comes across as a fairly lax person, though he can be strict when necessary. He enjoys teaching and is passionate about it, but he will be serious about his passions for the most part. Always willing to help a student in need, Jacob sets aside hours of his night where students are free to come and go with questions, concerns, or if they just want to talk. He is a bit of a dry sense of humor type of person, and when teasing someone will seem completely serious, so some people might misunderstand him.

However, there is a deeper person. He used to battle with feelings that his father said he shouldn't have. He is attracted to men, but used to never allow himself to admit it, even to himself. He was afraid to let himself feel those feelings, because his father hated the idea of homosexuality. He had dated a few women, but never felt attached to them, despite trying very hard to feel the way his father told him to feel.

This hiding of who he is had led him to have a hardened shell, one that made it hard for him to get close to other people. However, when Ryan came into his life, this shell slowly started to break away.

He is often oblivious to other people's flirtations or such, and would take a while to realize if someone was hitting on him. He also struggles to understand a person's intentions, tending to be a bit naive and assume that everyone has good intentions. Even with being married and such, he still sometimes misunderstands things.

He is also incredibly anxious and such because his father abused him, leaving him quite terrified of things.  His struggles with OCD, PTSD, and anxiety pretty much stem from what his father put him through.  (see the history below)

HISTORY

Tyler and Clara Hughes were never a truly happy couple.  Married because Clara ended up pregnant, they never really had a chance to fall in love.  Tyler was never a very pleasant person anyway.  He was quick to anger and quick to blame someone else for his problems.  John was born to an unhappy home, but the parents grew to dote upon him.  Five years later, Victoria was born, and the family was complete.  They lived in London, England for a very long time.

One day, Tyler did something stupid.  He managed to piss off a powerful witch by ruining her potion while she was brewing it.  He decided to be a jerk and dumped random things into it, ruining the potion by making it deadly.  She had been brewing a potion to help her cat, and it resulted in the cat's death.  In her anger, the witch cursed Tyler, telling him that his next child would be cursed.  Tyler laughed it off because he had the family he wanted and didn't want any more children.

Jacob was an accident, not actually a child that was intended at all.  This violated his father's ideal of a two parent, two child household (preferably one boy, one girl), which he already had.  His mother loved him just the same, but his father never really warmed up to him.  Especially since he was waiting until the curse came into effect.  He treated Jacob as if he was an evil being, often smacking him around and yelling at him for no reason.

Close to puberty, Jacob shifted into an Ocelot, right in front of his father.  This freaked his father out big time, and as soon as his son shifted back, he began to hit him, punching and yelling.  Jacob could barely move after this abuse and took at least a week to be able to go back to school.  This cycle continued, Jacob being beaten, once or twice to the point where he had to be hospitalized.  Jacob was instructed to lie about what happened, claiming he fell down the stairs or did other things like that.

The beatings became more frequent as Tyler started to notice that his son was different.  He observed that his son never talked about girls at home, and even caught him looking at another boy's butt, leading him to believe his son was homosexual (which was true).  This made the beatings more frequent and Jacob was led to believe that any sort of affection towards anyone was wrong.  His father prevented him from accessing the internet, most tv shows, and even learning about the "birds and the bees" with the others.

Jacob never really fit in with the other kids at school either.  He graduated with few friends, and, after graduation, his family moved to Beacon Hills because his father lost his job and found a new one there.  Jacob went off to college and studied music, coming back to Beacon Hills to accept a teaching position at the high school.

It was at the high school that Jacob met Ryan.  He was quite young for a teacher, at the age of 22, and Ryan was only 18 years old, but Jacob broke the rules and got into a secret relationship with the boy.  Luckily, Ryan graduated before they were caught and they married not too long after this.  Ryan was 20 and Jacob was 24.

They got their own place and lived together peacefully for four years, before Ryan came up with the idea that they needed kids.  Jacob was nervous about this, but they did have them, first the twins Jaxon and Archer, and then Julia two and a half years later.  They are one big happy family, though Jacob struggles with OCD, PTSD, and extreme anxiety as a result of his father's abuse, causing nightmares and other side effects as a result.
