FULL NAME: Jake Andrew Carver
NICKNAME(S): Raze (boxing name)
CALL SIGN: N/A
BIRTH DATE: December 19th
AGE: Thirty-five
HEIGHT: 6'0"
WEIGHT: 175 lbs.
EYE COLOR: Blue
HAIR COLOR: Brown
HOMETOWN: Los Angeles, CA, USA
MARITAL STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: Owner of Shadowbox Gym, trainer, and former boxer.
MARKINGS: "Leila" tattooed over his heart and her birth date in roman numerals on the other side of his chest; "fighter" written in script tattooed on his right forearm with "father" in the same script on his left; a swallow tattooed behind his right ear; "fear no man" tattooed across his upper back
SPECIALTIES: Boxing
PERSONALITY: In his early boxing career, Jake had a bit of an ego problem. It all stemmed from trying to match up to his father and to "do him proud". He's mellowed out as of late, that attitude only coming out every so often if only because he rarely competes properly these days. Now, he's a bit reserved, often appears tired, and is constantly stressed. There used to be a glint of humor and good nature in those eyes, but it has since seemed to dim, only coaxed out in the right company (usually his daughter's).

FACTS:
- The only child of the heavyweight boxer, Terry "Titan" Carver and his wife Marilyn. Jake lived in L.A. all of his life, only seeing some more of the country when his father was competing, and later when he found himself in the ring. It wasn't a hard childhood, but Terry always expected Jake to be as good as he was if not better. Constantly striving and having to push to meet his father's high standards began to put a heavy strain on their relationship once the old man retired from boxing.
- After his mother passed away, Terry left California to move to Florida, leaving the family owned gym to Jake. He didn't know the first thing about how to run a business, so he hired a man to help act as manager, someone his father had trusted. Saul took over the books, kept the place running, and Jake did whatever he could to get members in through the door. However, it didn't seem to be enough, and they were slowly going into debt.
- Later, Jake realized that Saul was stealing from him, and took off before anything could be done. With a failing business, as well as a young daughter and girlfriend to look after, Jake began to gamble and make deals with the underground fighting rings. He was boxing again, but struggled to win as frequently as he once had. This left him with having to purposely throw fights, which inevitably made him lose street cred. He also hated himself for it.
- He got in too deep, began to owe some bad guys a lot of money, right around the time Charlene (long time girlfriend) upped and left one day. Leila was only two years old then, and Jake had to learn how to handle everything else on top of being a single father. He was spiraling, struggling to find a way out of this entire mess.
- Professional Boxing Record: 32 fights; 26 wins; 6 losses; 19 wins by knockout; 7 wins by decision.
- Is a southpaw boxer, meaning he's lefthanded and leads with his right.
