Jacob had been awake for a couple hours when he came from shower to stand in front of the full length mirror. He had gone through his normal routine of warm up exercises and then straight into the martial arts katas. He hadn't been doing them as often as he should lately but his technique was still flawless. Jacob had finished his katas and sat in the lotus position to meditate for another thirty minutes until he was sure he had cleared his head and prepared himself for a new day before he had showered.<br/>Jacob felt this job was the best thing to happen for him in a long time, not so much the money but a place to belong.he had been a bodyguard before as well as an assassin, hired muscle, hell he had even been a bouncer in a strip club but he had never worked in a bordello. His main priority here was bodyguard but Madam Star let him know there were times when other services may be required of him and he had no qualms at all with receiving money for sex.<br/>A good part of preparing his mentality was the fact that Jacob had never been a people person. Hell, for the most part he didn't even like them, but he was a professional and he could socialize if necessary, and there were a few that he really didn't dislike. The fact that the term people could be used loosely to descibe the employees of Madam Star, himself included, was somewhat of an understatement. This eased his tension a lot, it made him feel less out of place.<br/>Jacob shifted through various forms as he stood before the mirror wondering what form to choose. He switched from feline to reptilian, then to lupine and and then over to insect. He even tried male and female forms of different species and in the end decided on his natural human form.<br/>Jacob's human form was 6'1" and 220 pounds of wiry muscle which was also an attribute of his shapeshifting abilities, his body retained zero fat. Well going as a human meant clothes so he went to his closet to check out the wardrobe and found him something casual. He picked black cargo pants and tank top along with matching running shoes and decided on a black buttoned shirt on top which he left open. His clothes matched his short cropped jet black hair on his head and the thin ebon silk on his chest and abdoman.<br/>Jacob breathed deeply and headed out his room down the stairs to the large room where the others were gathered. Upon entering he headed straight to the coffee to pour himself a cup. He looked around the room at the motley crew gathered about and thought he could've did a lot worse for an adopted family of sorts. He never really had a family before so he really didn't have anything to form a comparison with. There isn't any rule says you have to like your family, just try to be there when you're needed.
