Personality
Jake is extremely reckless, most likely stemming from his past career as an Air Force pilot. He has trust issues, and doesn't make friends easily. Seemingly to cover for this, Jake is also extremely sarcastic and witty from time to time, in a fruitless effort to diffuse the tension.

Your Character
Jake originally finds Your Character annoying and calls the college student "Boy Scout" or "Princess", depending on gender. He will start to respect Your Character after he/she breaks up the fight between him and Sean.

Sean
To begin with, Jake and Sean are not very friendly with one another, which eventually boils over during the debate about whether the group should leave the resort or not, where they have a punch-up. However, their issues are eventually resolved and the tensions are greatly decreased.

Everett Rourke
Although they 've never met, Jake thinks very lowly of Rourke. He is more than willing to believe the rumors that Rourke is a criminal involved in illegal experiments. He believes that the King Crab and the Sea Monster were biological weapons created by him.
