Character History
Please read the Rangerwiki page for his Sentai counterpart to find out about this section.
Personality
Civilian
Jacob is a young man who is incapable of lying but capable of living on his own after he had a falling out with his foster father on the anniversary of the death of his birth parents. He also can do any kind of work, like cleaning, cooking, making paninis etc. As his regular self, he is cheery and generally well-mannered, though his tendency to be brutally honest often leaves him in situations where the favor is usually against him or annoys people to the point that they hate being around him. Unhelpful to those who meet him, Jacob's form of giving advice is simply stating out what someone does wrong before performing the corresponding act in what he deems to be the right way, typically worsening any relationships he has with other people. Additionally, his comments are usually made without consideration of someone's feelings, typically leading to him angering others unintentionally.
His honesty extends to how he views the world, seeing lying as wrong and even if the intent is for good reasons, the liar is masking a false truth and true words come directly from the heart. Unlike his superhero persona, Jacob hates fighting to the point he will never directly hit a person even if provoked. Despite his friendly disposition, Jacobās childhood has affected him negatively as he doesnāt know what true happiness is. His compulsory need to help others and make them happy is, in his own words, a way to understand the emotion itself since he is lonely. He also seemed to dislike his birthday, as it serves as a constant reminder of his loneliness.
He also does not fully understand what friends are, since he had none his whole life and his blunt honesty prevented him from having one, yet he hopes someday to have a good relationship with someone. He also has no romantic life, as he publicly admitted he doesnāt even have a girlfriend yet. His view of his relationship with his team is as companions in battle and nothing else, which rubs some of them the wrong way.
Jacob is shown to be very diligent at his job and takes great pride in being a delivery man, as it allows him to help people and bring them joy. He is content in his work and doesnāt want to change jobs unless temporary circumstances force him to, even stating that he sees no difference in a job like his to professional jobs that pay better in terms of importance.
Red Legend Ranger
As the Red Legend Ranger, he undergoes a drastic personality change. Compared to his civilian identity, Jacob is far more boisterous and jolly, often seeing every battle as a type of festival under an air of confidence.
However, his heroic nature is retained, and he strongly opposes the generals of the Crimson Moon Kingdom permanently killing any Kizuki that the group encounters. The Red Legend Ranger can also be a bit unpredictable and eccentric, as he wildly attacks his team as a test of their combat skills and training, especially if he feels that they are holding him back in battle.
Powers and Abilities
- Hypercompetence: As claimed by both himself and his father, Jacob is excellent at everything.
- Perfect Panini Making: His paninis are described by a local sandwich shop owner to be something made from the heavens, and managed to make him moved to near tears by its flavor, texture and perfectly balanced amounts of ingredients.
- Chess Mastery: Although he had only played chess once in his childhood, Jacob managed to defeat a chess club president easily.
- Super Strength and Accuracy: While untransformed, Jacob is able to flick peanuts with his finger at someone's face right in the cheek and with enough force to knock them out cold. He is also capable of completely destroying an entire stack of wooden chairs with a single karate chop.
- Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Jacob is shown to be able to clean a room in mere minutes, almost as if he is flying across it. He is also capable of moving game pieces at blistering speed to win board games like chess in just a matter of minutes.
Weaknesses
- Recurring Power Loss: In exchange for his superpowers, Jacob suffers a period of power loss once every seven years. This can be cured by eating 300 bowls of Chicken flavoured Ramen Noodles (As that's his favourite food) which must be made with a precise recipe and method. During this power loss, Jacob can become sick and is too weak to even fight, rendering finishers like the Legendary Slash completely useless.
- Compulsive Truth-telling: Jacob has never lied in his life. Even attempting to tell an harmless white lie can momentarily cause his heart to stop beating.
- Ancient Spirit Megazord: In the brief moments after the Ancient Spirit Megazord finishes a battle, Jacob becomes weaker and vulnerable to attack as he jumps down from his zord's cockpit.
- Gilbert: Because of the past attachment to his pet dog Gilbert which had died, Jacob could easily be fooled into believing that Gilbert was returning thus dropping his guard (Jacob doesn't know about his death thinking that he's still alive).
