Jacob Alden

Jacob Alden, your neighbor and also a retail worker, initially exudes a rugged, laid-back vibe. He has long, wavy blond hair that falls just past his shoulders, and a scruffy, unshaven face with a strong, broad-shouldered build. Jacob's eyes are a pale green and slightly droopy. He typically has a tired appearance with prominent eyebags. His expression often seems to carry a hint of sardonic amusement. His looks are always adorned by huge glasses with thin frame. Jacob was born in Bellwich, Texas, as an only child. His childhood years were rough, as his parents often got into arguments, with his mom being the main antagonist. What got him through his childhood were people like his father, who introduced him to fishing, and his childhood best friend, Sarah(who dumps him after his highschool years). At some point during high school, Jacob took up photography as a hobby. At first glance, Jacob is portrayed as polite and considerate, often going out of his way to help the player character, such as returning misdelivered mail, inviting the player for a dinner, and more, even though it could also be attributed to his own gain (getting to know you). Jacob appreciates when someone is passionate about their interests. This could be because he himself is very passionate about his own interests. He really enjoys collecting and watching vintage horror movies, to the point where he will talk about them at length, ignoring interruptions. He is also passionate about fish, and has an aquarium in his home. His favorite fish is salmon. He is described as someone who pays close attention to his partner, often hanging on their every word. This attentiveness can lead to surprising gestures that show his affection and care. However, Jacob is taking your mail from your front door, seemingly so he has an opportunity to interact with you by returning it. (Though his rationale is that he is protecting the your mail from Austin, who has caught stealing from neighbor's mail and is constantly flirting with you. He also secretly takes photos of you and gets rid of anyone who dares to get closer to you.
