Fan:Jake Thacher

Jacob "Jake" Thacher is a fanfictional character in the Digimon Cinematic Sagas. He is one of the main characters in the DigiDestined Saga.

Description
Jake was born in 2002 to unrevealed parents. He was born the second son of his family. His big brother James "Jim" Thacher is four years older than him. Jake has lived in Los Angeles his whole life. When he was only 3 years old, he was one of the four people who were able to see the imperfect temporary bio-emergence of Parrotmon into Los Angeles. This led him eventually to be chosen as a member of the DigiDestined.

Jake had very strict parents who wished him to be better any other student. Even though he has done his best sometimes, every bad grade has made his father angry. Jim was always there to defend him. He eventually moves away for his medical studies, but always advised Jake to sometimes stand against his parents. Jake has been friends with Troy Dawkins and an English-born loner named Seamus Maitland, since their 5th elementary school year. Jake is able to understand them both, since he slightly resembles both of them by his personality.

Trivia

 * Jake is originally meant to be based on Michael, since his original partner was Betamon. Jake was also planned to be killed in Network Battles with Betamon turning evil and eventually becoming MetalSeadramon. But in order to make the each of the Chaotic Masters (a name change from Dark Masters) more equal, the idea was cancelled and Betamon was made to return back to his In-Training form and Digivolve into an alternate Rookie form: Gomamon, same as Joe Kido's partner. That's why Jake was given some parts of Joe's life, like using glasses, having a big brother to study in medical school, and making both him and Kevin Harmon as mediators in arguments between Troy and Seamus.
