Interesting Dalek Jacob facts



• He hates the fact that the Daleks had used him and abandoned him to the mercy of Torchwood when his use to them had ended.

• Because of what the his kind did to him, he hates being reminded that he was once, at one point just like them. A pure Dalek; Heartless, unsympathetic, cruel and an unforgiving lump of hate.

• He'll show no mercy towards any Daleks he comes across and will kill most of them on the spot as revenge of their betrayal.

• He sees Linda as his Supreme and finds it almost impossible to disobey her when she ask him to help her with something.

• Has the habit of being quite foul-mouthed at times, which Linda disapproves of, to the point that she had to purchase a swear jar. Usually after a month, enough money is collected to purchase another computer game.

• He is in a live-in relationship with Linda as they enjoy each other's company and they both hate loneliness.

• He has affections deep down for Linda, but he tends to dismiss those feelings all together as an "Unwanted human emotions" but he does care about her and hates to see her upset, hurt or ill.

• As a part of him is now human, he needs sleep like any other human but only half of what humans would require during 24 hours.

• As Jacob is a still Dalek in size and appearance, he can't reach the shower to turn it on when Linda orders him to have one, so he has to bathe in the sink, which he finds humiliating.

• He like to read the occasional book, preferring young adult novels, as he finds them more creative and original than adult books, which he found to be samey and boring after a while.

• He loves to watch documentaries. Especially ones about the Earth.

• Jacob gets paranoid without carrying some kind of firearm, so it isn't a good idea to take it from him.

• As the UK has strict gun laws, Jacob doesn't get to use any gun as often as he would like, so he plays shoot-em-up games to get his gun fix.

• He used to go to the arcades to use the shoot-em-up games they have there, but got carried away and used his real gun on it by mistake, destroying it, resulting in a lifetime ban and an arrest for firing a firearm in a public place.

• It is also not a good idea to deprive him of his cookies, unless you fancy dying very soon.

• Jacob's true identity has to be kept top secret. Not only the fear it would cause to the public, if they knew what he was, but to also stop the Daleks knowing of his existence.

• If the Daleks ever knew of his continual existence, they would soon realize he no longer needed a life-support to survive and they would hunt him down relentlessly for the knowledge to adapt the Daleks, completely eliminating their need for life-support.

• Linda's mother terrifies him. Linda's mother knows Jacob's holding something back about his identity and she wants to know what it is.

• He now works with Linda for Torchwood.

• He is expected to work as a team, but the others (apart from Linda and Paul) don't really treat him as a part of the team and he wants to leave.

• He hates the team member Tim, who either constantly reminds him of his Dalek heritage, taunts him about having to live with human emotions, threatening to hurt him if he go anywhere near his Fiancée or calls him the "The alien squid" Most of the time these two are together often ends with a huge punch-up.

• Jacob has to wear "a" contact lens, as Daleks by nature have very poor eyesight and glasses are just not practical for him to wear.

• Whenever Jacob is ill, it's the only time he'll eat soup.

• Also when he's ill, he tends not to play the shoot-em-up games, but prefurs playing Linda's selection of games instead.

• Jacob can at times suffer with depression (mild or deep). It's not yet known what the cause of his depression is, but is thought to be low self-esteem and has to carry anti-depressants with him to be on the safe side.

• Whenever Jacob has attacks of depression at night, most of them causes him have horrific, incredibly detailed nightmares, mostly about the time he was experimented on by Broot, leading him to scream and cry out in utter fear in his sleep.

• Whenever Jacob has these nightmares, Linda comforts him until the nightmares subsides, then sets up a bed for him in her own room, right next to her in case the nightmares return.

• After being experimented on, not only has Jacob's eye colour been altered, (originally being yellow, now purple) but also his strength, his voice and the colour of his blood had changed too, changing from the Dalek's colour of green, to red of a human, freaking Jacob out when he first discovered the change in colour.

• Whenever Jacob is angered his voice temporally changes, sounding more and more like a normal Dalek the longer he stays angered.
This took a few hours and this will came in handy when I write the next part of Katie in Manhattan and while I was thinking of it, I thought why not post it up to DA, so people can see what make Jacob tick so to speak =D
I think I remembered all the facts about Jacob. If I remember any more facts about Jacob I'll put them up straight away ;)

PS: If anybody wants to use this fact sheet about Jacob, feel free. Just give credit and link me what you make. I would love to see what you do ;)

*hehe* very cool idea. I think this may be the way many people do it in RL too :)

Reading he's working for Torchwood now made me chuckle. You should team him up with my own Torchwood-Dalek-char some day :P
