Earlier this week we chose Jacob "The Jester" Harley as our first character spotlight of the season. We finally managed to sit down and interview his creator. We asked him a few questions about Jester and where he hopes to take the character in the future.
How Long have you been using Jacob "The Jester" Harley or at least his overall concept as a roleplay character? For about two years in LARP (Live Action Role Play) as well as a personal character in a short story I'm creating.
What was the Original Inspiration for the character?
Through my childhood he was actually an imaginary friend that I forgotten about until I got into my high school years and twisted him around into my image of how my childhood went from good to bad.
How closely does the personality of the character reflect your personality?
Just like I said in the other question Jacob is actually a side of me I wish to express. Not the Psychotic killer side, but the side that is able to stand up and deal with everything that went on in my life from bullies to family.
Is there anything about Jacob "The Jester" Harley you want to change?
His personality, his fighting style and everything about him his all good and is perfect. The only thing I would like to change is the fact that he can also remove his mask on his own and the curse still activates and that due to the fact he is considered a zombie if he loses a limb he is able to reattach it.
What combat role do you think Jacob "The Jester" Harley fills? And Why?
In combat Jacob fits the stealth type as well as the distraction. With the way that Jacob acts in a fight he tends to always make a game out of it, so using himself as bait suits his personality, but also when his dark humor changes and he becomes serious he makes sure he gets in and out of a place unseen and unheard while still leaving dead bodies behind him.
What's your plans for Jacob "The Jester" Harley's evolution into a stronger fighter?
I plan on bringing Malafar into the world. In the aspect of times of crisis or weakness on Jacobs part, Malafar takes control over Jacob's body and shows his true form to the world and has his own abilities and weapons added to Jacob's.
Is there anything you would like to add the Jacob "The Jester" Harley's Background information?
After Jacob Made the contract with Malafar. He went on a lot of journeys trying to search for the one's who had destroyed his life. Some Journey's led him in the direction to getting closer to his destination and then it would go to a dead end to a point that after a good few hundred years he grew tired of the life of a murderous hunter looking to settle the score. He started to calm down and settle his life on becoming a bounty hunter for several years, one of his jobs had lead him to a town known as Botref, the city that never sleeps, where he spent the rest of his life working.
His reason for staying there was of a woman who worked in a red light district, paying off a debt of her husband's by selling her body, Jacob was saddened by her situation and started to bond with the woman spending all his time and money on visiting her, not for pleasure, but for the company and feeling of being around a woman like he had with his dead wife. It all seemed to be going well. He slowly started to forget his troubled past and focused on the future he felt he was having with the woman, Until one day he went to visit her and saw the bruises and cuts on her face and body from the man she had called her husband.
In an instant Jacob left in a blinding fury of rage and hate searching for the man who had harmed the woman. Soon locating him and discovering he was part of a band of thugs who had ruled over the town and even deceived the very woman he was falling for to work off a debt that wasnt even real. That day pushed Jacob to the point of no return as he turned back into the murderous, Psychotic killer he used to be. Slaughtering each and every person who belonged to the gang of thugs, saving the so-called husband for last leaving his rotten corpse at the entrance of the Whore house that the woman worked at as well as leaving behind a large sum of money to start her life. Jacob took leave of the town in search of his new path.
