Personality: Jake is pretty much the textbook definition of a good guy, and he always has been. He does his best to practice kindness and respect and is well-mannered, and he tends to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. He knows that hunting is a thankless job and that's fine with him because he doesn't do it for the gratitude. He does it so that innocent people can keep going on with their lives and their loved ones.
Family is extremely important to Jake, and that doesn't always mean people he is blood related to. If someone earns his trust and companionship, they will find someone who is a reliable ally to have in their corner. Jake likes seeing people happy, so he will do what he can to help someone achieve that as long as it doesn't compromise his morals or put his loved ones in danger.

History:
Hunting is something that has been in the Daron family for generations. As a kid, Jake's mother would stay at home, taking care of the house and the kids while her husband was out saving the world one monster at a time. She was also his primary source of research and information, but that was the limit of her involvement in the hunting life. Although he and his sisters had been aware of the paranormal and had been trained in lore and weaponry, etc., they didn't actually participate in any of it until they had finished school.
Jake was 17 and had just graduated high school when his father started bringing him along in the field. It was during one of these hunting trips that Tom Daron sought the help of an elderly witch friend of his, and it was then that Jake met Alyssa Carlisle. Of course, she was 13 at the time, and reminded Jake of his annoying little sister Kira, so the first few times that he encountered her, he just tried to avoid speaking with her at all.
Fast forward a few years to when Jake was about 24 and had been out on his own case and came home to find his parents both mysteriously dead. A thorough search of the house revealed a hex bag, and a very distraught Jake went to the one person he had grown to trust enough to be able to help... Alyssa's grandmother. Unfortunately, it had been a couple of years since he had seen her, and it turned out that age and dementia had taken the poor old woman's mind. But Alyssa had studied magic for years under the guidance of her grandmother, and a very desperate Jake begged for her help. This began their hunting relationship together.
It took quite some time for them to track down the witch who had murdered his parents, and with the help of a rare magic artifact that Alyssa had obtained from her cousin Meg, they took away the bitch's magical ability. The artifact was no longer usable after that, and to this day they aren't sure of the price that was paid to obtain it, but Jake had finally gotten his revenge. He and Alyssa went to a local bar to celebrate.
It was during this celebration, when his quest of vengeance was no longer weighing him down, amidst the beers and the relief and the laughter, that he realized it. In the last few years of working with her, she had become much more to him than an ally. She had become a friend... a best friend, really... someone that he had grown to trust with his life, and he realized that somewhere along the way he had fallen in love with her. He dropped to his knees right there and proposed to her using a ring from his keys. She slapped him in response, thinking it was a cruel joke, but he persisted, and finally she agreed to marry him.
Jake and Alyssa were married just over six years ago and have continued their work together as a hunting duo.

RP Sample:
Tom hadn't been to his father's grave since the funeral, despite the fact that the family mausoleum was on the grounds of Wayne Manor. He had a hard time dealing with Bruce's death, but didn't want to admit so to anyone, including himself. In fact, for the last few months, he had sort of been in that state of mind that maybe if he ignored the problem, it would go away. Maybe if he didn't acknowledge the fact that his dad was really gone, it wouldn't be true.
But of course, despite his eagerness to forget, he couldn't. He knew that the world was going to keep turning despite the fact that Batman was no longer there to protect it. Gotham was still going on without him. Jax and Freddy were trying to do their part to help keep the streets safe, and what was he doing? Absolutely nothing. At least nothing that anyone could see. He knew that he had a responsibility here. He knew that he had to carry on his father's legacy... but he felt so lost.
The door of the mausoleum stood ajar to allow a bit of the afternoon sunlight to permeate the interior. Tom had taken off his sunglasses and hooked them onto the front of his shirt, and now he stood there staring at the plaque on the wall that indicated where Bruce was buried. He stared at it for a long couple of minutes before letting out a heavy sigh, "Hey... Dad..."
His eyes dropped to the floor as he ran his hand through his hair, trying to figure out what he even wanted to say. "So I guess if what people think is true... you've probably been looking down on me. And you're probably pissed as hell...
"But it's not my fault, Dad. I wasn't prepared for this. You were supposed to stick around for us. You were supposed to be here to help me through this shit. I know that I'm supposed to carry on the mantle, but I can't, Dad. I'm not you. I'm not strong enough..."
He looked back up at his father's name on the plaque and swallowed, a couple of tears sliding slowly down his face, his shoulders dropping a little and his voice softening. "You weren't supposed to leave me like this..."
