History: Born into a family of Musicians Jacob quickly learned to play the violin and many other things. His favorite by far was te piano though. The feel of it against his fingers and the lovely sounds that it made could entrance him for hours. From a very young age he was considered noty only a musical genius but a genius at whatever he did. His family became jealous of this quickly and started to resent him. Everywhere they went he was the star and soon enough they didn't even want to talk to the kid anymore.

When he reached the age of 9 he had different people that wanted to put him in a more talented band but he didn't want to leave his family. About 1 month later they left him one day sleeping on the side of a rode with nothing but the clothes on his back. He was picked up by a passing man who carried the kid all the way to where he was staying at the marine headquaters. The old man took the child in and tried to get him to talk to him for weeks but he wouldn't. One day after a hard day of training new recruits the man sat down and began to play the piano. Jacob listened to the sound and followed it to its source. He saw the old man playing an old song he had never heard and he got closer and closer as the song went on. When he was nearly sitting on the seat the old man looked at him and said "So you like music huh." He scooted over and tapped the seat twice. "Would you like to play?" Jacob looked at the seat and got on to it. He looked at the old man and started to play the song he had just heard. Eventually he was smiling and in his own little world. He played another song next but one he knew the words to. Binks sake. This time though he was singing along with it and after he finished he remembered that the old man was there and he looked over at the man who was in shock. "You have a beautiful voice and from what I can tell you are a very fast learner."

From then on he became more attached to the old man. At first they just played the piano together and then the old man became his teacher. And last but not least he tought the young child how to fight and how to use his wits and speed to defeat his opponents. The old man looked at the kid when he was about 15 and realized he had raised an amazing child even if it wasn't his. He loved him more than anything in the world. Eventually the Navy saw the potential in the child and sent him out to a crew that needed him. They had a tearfelt goodbye and it was almost impossible for them to say good bye.

Personality: Jacob is a very quite person that usually tries to avoid people. His only real friend growing up was the old man that took him in. Other than that he was shunned by a lot of people because of how good he was at everything and this made him a bit afraid of people. He loves music almost more than anything else and if he has something to play he can be happy for the rest of his life. When he gets into a song he will actually begin to sing but this is only when he becomes comfortable around the people that he is with

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that anyone would be spontaneously dropped into the streets as a child like that, but it doesn't exactly break any rules persay. That, combined with the insane intellect, borders the cliché in my opinion. It's fine if he's rather bright for his age, but it doesn't make sense how a 16 year-old could be a "genius among geniuses", particularly with the lack of reasoning behind his intelligence in the first place. Besides that, I think the sheet should be passable.

His family was jealous and they only cared about fame. Sorry if Its kinda a lame story and he just has a high IQ so it is easier for him to pick things up. Most of his formal teaching I think was briefly mentioned in the history and that was from the old man who took him in.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the feedback. I also took out the Genius among Genius thing

Thanks for explaining that, it makes a bit more sense now.

APPROVED
