Jak (The Fabulous) Yaar

Jak (The Fabulous) Yaar is a Half-Elf rogue with aspirations to become a pirate captain by acquiring levels in the Dread Pirate prestige class.

Campaigns
Jak was VivaLaMal's main character, and he appears in the Filler Campaign as a cameo.

Jak was originally a character in a campaign run by Iriesys, however the campain was discontinued, and he is now resigned to his fate as a re-occuring character, living vicariously through other people's campaigns.

Early Life
Little is known of Jak's early life, or his childhood -- least of all by Jak.

One, following him around, may summise that Jak had "daddy issues" -- his tendancy for manlier men, his fear of commitment, his drinking problem, and his tendancy to cry at seemingly inconsiquential things, and at seemingly random times, all suggest some form of father-related trauma.

In truth, Jak never really had a father figure. I mean, yes: he had a male parent, but his mother was a Chaotic Evil Sorceress, and his pops was a Lawful Good Paladin whom she drugged, tied to a chair, and ravaged...

Yeah, this isn't going so good.

To be fair, despite the fact that his father had tried (on several occasions) to kill his mother, Jak's dad always showed up to the yearly family gathering. Drugged, tied to a chair, and at some point -- we can only suspect -- ravaged by Jak's CE mother. Although, upon further reflection, this does explain why all of Jak's siblings have their birthdays in September.

Jak has An older half-brother, called James DeGuarde; an older Sister, called Robbin DeGuarde; A younger sister, called Serecros DeGuarde; and a younger, adopted, half-sister, called Ray.

The allignments of Jak's family is rather interesting. His Human father is a LG Paladin, whilst his Elfin mother is a CE sorceress. Jak's older sister, Serecros (Half-Elf), takes after her mother in her profession, however she is TE. James DeGuarde is a TG Human Paladin, after his father, however Jak and James do not have the same mother. James' little sister, the halfling Paladin, Ray, is adopted. And Robbin is a LE (Half-Elf) Adept.

Jak also has two uncles. The uncle on his father's side is a LN Human Judge called Waldie Duts, who came top of his class in Law School. There is also a guy who shows up to family events who absolutely every (conscious) person simply refers to as "Uncle" -- no one seems to know to whom he is related, or if he just shows up to smoke his pipe and eat the free food; however, once he did admit -- between drags -- that he was called Robert by his mother. No one knows what he does, or what race he is.
