personality evaluated.
- Workaholic: Jak's career is his life. He grew up in the industry and wouldn't leave it for anything in the world. Creating something that people can enjoy gives him such a great happiness that he wants to do it all of the time. All of the time. Jakob is constantly working, even when he's not. His life revolves around his current and future projects. And when he is at work, he is completely focused and a perfectionist. He's a very talented multi-tasker and won't turn in anything that hasn't been looked over at least five or six times. He's also incredibly ambitious, always looking for his next step, his next big break. He works hard to get where he's at, and he every day he hopes to make a bigger and better name for himself.
- Intelligent: Despite dropping out of school, Jak is very well read and spoken. He is multi-lingual with the ability to fluently speak ten languages, including English and his native tongues of Swedish and Dutch. He also has the seemingly rare gift of being able to articulate his views, opinions, and ideas in order for anyone to understand them and not become offended by them. Jak also can be very persuasive when he needs to be. Most of the time he just uses a lot of big words that sound like they're important.
- Stressed Out: All hardworking people can get burned out, and Jakob is no exception. He frequently gets stressed out, and when he does, he can get irritable. He is usually a very level-headed and calm man, but on occasion he will snap at someone for doing something that he doesn't approve on. This may include but is not limited to, talking his ear off when he doesn't care, laughing much too loudly when he has a headache, or making annoying noises when they eat. He never really gets angry, but he will get irritable, and becomes sharp-tongued, stubborn, and huffs a lot. But if he does lash out at someone, he will take no time in apologizing over a million times.
- Considerate: When he's not stressed, he is one of the most likeable guys. He's very easygoing and a great listener. He enjoys giving people advice when they need it most and is patient with those who could use some help. Although he doesn't think he could do well with children of his own, he generally has the temperment of a well-groomed father. He can be a people pleaser when he wants to be and enjoys making others feel safe and secure. He has the biggest soft spot in the world for cats and kittens. It is quite the sight to see this large manly man cooing over a fluffy little creature.
- Good Sense of Humor: The one thing people don't often realize about Jakob is that he can be quite the funny and witty guy. He has a rather sarcastic sense of humor, and can sometimes be perceived as kind of a smart ass. His jokes are never at the expense of anyone else, and it's all really good natured fun. When he feels comfortable enough, he can be a big goof ball.

history evaluated.Born in Stockholm, Sweden to a high profile director and his lovely housewife. Kristoffer was Swedish/Norwegian and Elin was Danish/Dutch/German and their kids were blonde haired, blue eyed melting pots of European heritage. The lovely couple had given birth to their first child who they graced with the name Jakob Pieter, then five years later had a pair of twins. A boy and a girl, Hendrick and Erica respectively. When Jakob was seven years old, his family picked up and moved to Denmark where there were better paying jobs for his father. Jakob was raised around European celebrities and filmmakers. His life was the entertainment industry and he always knew that when he grew up, he was going to be exactly like his father. He was going to be a big wig film director, provide everything and more for his family, and just be as happy as his parents.
Growing up, Jakob embodied the role of big brother to the twins. He loved them with all of his heart, and when he wasn't following his dad around like a puppy dog, he was playing babysitter for Henry and Erica. He was so protective of his siblings that his mother called him "kleiner vater," which is little father in German. When the twins got older, his protectiveness got less cute and more obnoxious, according to Erica. Especially during high school. They were never in high school together, but he still managed to insert himself into her decisions. The weird thing was, they weren't ever in high school together, him being five years her senior.
The scariest thing in Jak's life happened one night when he was walking home after a date, which was a rare occasion because he wasn't the smoothest with the ladies. He was turning down an alley because it was a shortcut, but underestimated how dangerous dark alleys in the middle of a big city could be. He came face to face with a demon of the night... A stray dog. At the time, he was indifferent to dogs always simply preferring cats. They were much less needy and liked to do their own things. This dog, however, stared at him with it's big red eyes and blood dripping from his extremely large fangs. At least, that's how Jakob saw it. In reality, it was simply a hungry stray mutt. Jak's fear however, and closeness of his body to the stray's food source prompted the dog to launch itself at the tall blonde man threatening his territory. The creature latched itself onto Jakob's arm, and after being shaken off, snapped at his leg. Being the large, hulking sissy that he was, ran as quick as he could to the nearest hospital. Fortunately, he literally had to get zero stitches and was sent home with a few rather large band-aids. But since that day, Jakob Pieter Hjelm has been terrified of any sort of canine.
After high school, Jakob sought out film school, hoping it might give him a leg up on his competition. However, a year in, he found that the school had nothing to give him that he didn't have already. He dropped out and began officially working under her dad and several other directors. Because of his ambitious spirit and great eye for detail, he eventually recieved the title First Assistant Director. Soon after finishing his last movie, Jak's father Kristoffer passed away. It was devastating for Jakob, losing his hero and his inspiration, but for his family and his career, he had to move on. He decided it would be most beneficial for him to move to Hollywood, where he could begin working on American films and expand his experience and career.
