Looks::
JT has medium length, shaggy hair that he wears in a messy style. It’s dark in color, black or dark brown depending on who you ask. His eyes are a piercing blue, but in the dark can fade out to more of a timber wolf gray. His eyes are certainly what he leans on when it comes to attracting women. Aside from that, he is pretty fit at six feet tall and one hundred and seventy two pounds. He has lifted some weights, but is more of a lover than a fighter, so he’s not a muscle man by any means.
His face is very well defined in terms of bone structure. His jaw is prominent and his chin is strong. He has very fair skin and with his eyes and soft lips he would probably seem feminine if not for his masculine bone structure cancelling it out. All in all, he’s a handsome guy like most male demi-gods, but he acknowledges it more than what’s usual.
Personality::
Jacob has certainly earned his nicknames. Troublemaker is not exactly what everyone would imagine though. He’s not a big tough guy or anything, but he certainly can be trouble when it comes to innocent women. He is a charmer; always identifying what is special about a woman and is sure to let them know about it. He certainly has too much love for women, never knowing when he needs to stop being so forward. A lot of this stems from his powers, which will be discussed in his history.
His nickname, the Big Ticket, stems from his ability to liven up a party. This of course is a staple of his father’s reputation. He is worth the price of admission at parties, or at least that’s the myth. The truth is he doesn’t party as much as people would think he did. He is much better in one on one interaction, but can work a room if need be. He never used this part of his personality for much good, only to grab attention when his own insecurities were taken over.
Those insecurities are deep in his heart, and he is certainly not the man that he constantly projects. On the outside, he’s a handsome, smooth, yet gracious and appreciative guy. Though he is those things, on the inside he is haunted by a fear of failure and not living up to the reputation that he builds for himself. He has a superhuman persona but though he is a demi-god the mortal side of him can’t be ignored as much as he does.
Like a typical American (2/3 of the country), JT can drink away his sorrows for a while. This becomes especially easy when he is the son of the God of Wine. He has the ability to control grape and strawberry plants, as well as convert them into fine wine. He only drinks wine, so it takes him forever to get drunk, but he doesn’t do it for that reason. He really indulges in wine to connect him with the side of his life he wishes was the whole truth. Being partially mortal could drive him into depression, so reminding himself of his power was typically enough to get back to a happy place.
Family::

Father – Dionysus

History::
Twenty two years ago, Mr. D found himself in a typical predicament. He was stuck at this Hades designed camp on punishment and desperately needed to get away. He snuck off with Argus to Manhattan where he quickly found the source of entertainment that he needed. The Gentlemen’s Club of NY would suit his needs quite well for the evening. With Argus parked outside, he could really let loose!
Needless to say Mr. D can bring life to any party, and he had a great time. Details need not be expressed, but that night he met a gorgeous young lady at the tender age of nineteen and took advantage of her lack of life experience. Mr. D didn’t do much to help her in terms of actually raising the boy, but did at least care enough to make sure they were financially well off. Still, despite letters and checks in the mail, Jacob didn’t exactly feel loved at all.
Young JT had a lot of things to worry about. His mother was a druggie and continued to work in the strip club until her body wasn’t as appealing as it used to be. She was in and out of rehab and JT spent most of his time alone. He used to blame himself for his mother’s drug issues and his father’s lack of attention. It was enough to make him insecure to the point of being antisocial.
In adolescence, JT finally started to come out of his shell. He found refuge in his good looks and charming articulate ways. He was a smart kid and was starting to understand the talent he had over other people’s mind. He read about his father’s ability to control mania and decided that wasn’t the way to go. Instead, his affection for women and their attraction to him made it an obvious choice to work on control of arousal. He practiced on himself and at a young age he was already getting the hang of it.
At the age of seventeen he emancipated himself from his mother who was becoming increasingly worse. It was to the point that he would never want to come home, and especially not with company. Her drug use was on the incline and her human emotional control was on the decline. She got much more hostile and even aggressive towards him, so he had to leave. Living on his own really opened him up for an interesting lifestyle though. Many of the girls he went to school with willingly visited him often and he was more than happy to entertain their company.
Into adulthood, he finally allowed himself to start drinking wine. He always had an affinity for making it, but he mostly did it for a little cash at weddings and such, posing as a catering service. Now that he was twenty one and on the verge of dropping out of college anyways, he really let it go. He began drinking more and more and the women didn’t stop coming. As he was on the verge of losing control of himself completely, he got a call from the only man who could get him to change, his father.
One year later after some light AA meetings (if you don’t know what they are you shouldn’t lol), he was ready to go to Camp Half-Blood and start a new life. His father promised him lots of beautiful women to charm and a chance to start over free from his mother. Something must have really happened recently to soften his father up because it didn’t seem like him. Then again, he learned that he recently lost a child so maybe the death of one of his siblings he never met was enough to make his dad appreciate the rest of them a little more.
