Personality Profile: Over the years of fighting, Jacob learned that the best way to cope with death for him was to use humor to try and make light of the situation. It doesn’t always help him, but it’s his way and those around him just accept it. Sharpe likes to run his mouth when around his fellow squad mates and others that he considers friends because he enjoys talking and has been known to talk his teammate’s ears off.

Jacob been known to be hotheaded and headstrong, and would rather jump straight into a situation rather than to sit back and think the situation through. Like most Marines, he places loyalty above all else. He’d follow his leaders and fellow Marines into hell if they asked him.

Physical Description: Jacob is of average height for a Caucasian male, but his build is toned from years of rigorous training and combat. He’s paler than the average man due to spending so much time in his armor and aboard UNSC vessels. His right shoulder is covered with scars from a Covenant Needler that he received in the line of duty. The wound still aches from time to time, but it does not hamper his abilities. Across his rib cage on his left side, he has the words “Ready to Die, But Never Will” tattooed. He keeps his hair about half an inch off his scalp to try to hide the scar that runs down the back side of his head where no hair grows.

Background Information: Jacob was born on Reach on May 9, 2522. His mother was a seventeen year old high schooler who was unfortunate enough to make poor enough decisions on the night of one of her school dances. The father was never actually identified, as it could have been several different men who were close to her at the time. Six months after Jacob was born, he was taken from his mother and put up for adoption. However, before he could be officially adopted by anyone, his great-uncle, William Sharpe, was able to claim custody of him and took him in. His Uncle, who came to know simply as Uncle Will, was a much older man in his late sixties who took pity on his niece and her new son. Jacob grew up with his uncle, living in semi-luxury as his uncle was a thriving businessman of the time. When he was six, while he was climbing a tree, he slipped and fell splitting open the backside of his head and leaving a nasty scar where his hair doesn't grow.

The war broke out a few years after he was born, but Jacob was really never touched by it as he lived a sheltered life away from the horrors of the war. During and throughout his late teens, he was puzzled by the thought of what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. His uncle, getting too old to continue on his business, wanted his great nephew to follow in his steps and enter the world of business. Business never really caught Jacob’s attention and the thought of being stuck behind a desk for the rest of his life was beyond torture to him. His senior year of schooling, when he had still yet to find something that interested him, he was approached by a recruiter for the UNSC Marine Corps. Upon listening to the man’s speech about what he could do with a career in the Marines, Jacob decided that his future was in there, fighting. His uncle, while disappointed that he did not plan to follow in his footsteps, supported his decision wholeheartedly.

Nine days after his eighteenth birthday, Jacob enlisted with the UNSC Marine Corps and shipped off to training only a few days later. The experience was totally different from what he’d expected, but for the better. He didn’t know how he’d react to the pressure and the physical punishment of the training, but he found that he loved it. The UNSCMC became his new passion in life. All throughout training, he was incredibly average in all events. He didn't earn any honors, and he didn't really mind that anyway. It was enough for him that he became a UNSC marine.

After months of training, Jacob was sent to his first unit, the 2/11th Marines. His new unit was deployed to New Anchorage a few months after he arrived. Between the intense fighting and the fierce cold, the 2/11th virtually wiped out after 179 days of combat. What was left of the marines pulled back into a series of thick ice caverns to make a stand until evac could arrive. The ice caverns provided the marines with a brutal chokepoint where they were able to force the Covenant into frontal assaults while leaving them with a series of tunnels to their backs that they could retreat to if needed. When the Pelicans finally arrived to pull the marines out, there wasn’t much left of them. While boarding the Pelicans, the marines were in an exposed position and taking heavy needle and plasma fire. Just as he boarded, he was hit in the right shoulder with a needle, tearing away flesh down to the bone. He was rushed to the UNSCS Mercy, a hospital ship, where he spent the next several months in agonizing pain while his shoulder was repaired.

Upon being returned to duty, Jacob was transferred to a planetside unit on New Jerusalem. For the next several months, Jacob was stuck with the boredom of garrison duty. He requested a transfer to a fighting unit and has his wish granted after nine agonizing months. 

His new unit was the 27th MEU, First Battalion, Oscar Company where he’s anxious to get back into the fighting.
