Jake Long

Name: Jacob Luke Long

Age: 14

Race: Human (Dragon-Blood)

Title: The American Dragon

Bio: An ordinary kid from New York, Jake was an average teenage kid who liked skateboarding and trying to impress girls. That all changed when his grandfather came to America and informed him of his heritage. Jake was the descendant of mighty dragons and tasked with the protection of all magical creatures. Thanks to his grandfather's training, he was able to accept his dragon heritage and rise to defend the world from the Huntsclan and other magical threats to humankind, all while balancing out his school life.

Costume 1: Classic Jake / Traditional Dragon

Costume 5: Leprechaun Outfit / Green Dragon

Voice Actor: Dante Basco

Special Attacks:

-Wings of the Dragon: Jake uses his wings to hover in the air. Accessible in either form he takes.

*Dragon Swoop: While in midair, Jake will swoop down in an arc formation and slash the opponent with his talons.

-Mode Change: Jake has two forms that he can alternate between with the proper button input. He only has one healthbar and, if it's depleted, both forms are defeated.

*Human: Jake starts every fight in this form. In this state, he's quicker on his feet and uses nimble martial-art moves, but has lighter attacks, is easier to knock around, and lacks a solid defensive strategy.

*Dragon: In this state, Jake is heavier-set with better defenses and a stronger punch, but he's bigger and an easier target as well as slower on his feet.

Human-Exclusive Moves

-Breath of the Dragon: Jake opens his mouth and spits a small stream of fire, terminating in a ball of fire at the end.

-DragonBoard: Jake Long uses a skateboard to slide forward, then jumps in the air and spins to strike the opponent.

*DragonShred: At the cost of some Super Meter, Jake's spin will be laced with fire for additional damage, but require a bit more charge-time.

-Claw of the Dragon: Jake turns his hands into dragon claws and slashes three times with them, lacing them with fire for extra damage.

-Tail of the Dragon: Jake grows a tail, then spins to whip the opponent with it. Can push the opponent back a significant distance on block.

Dragon-Exclusive Moves

-Flame of the Dragon: Jake breathes a stream of fire that spans the whole stage, but is only of average size, leaving room to dodge.

-Claw of the Dragon: Jake performs a double-backhand slash that creates a fiery "X" in front of him.

-Fang of the Dragon: Command grab. Jake snaps with his fangs and, on a successful hit, will shake the opponent around before slamming them on the ground.

-Flaming Wings: Midair move. Jake flies forward, lacing his wings with fire to slam into the opponent, then can combo it with one more rocket either straight ahead, up and at an angle, or fly backward.

Throws

FORWARD: Jake springs off the opponent's front and spits a fireball at them as he falls back to the ground, the blast grounding them.

BACKWARD: Jake forms his dragon tail, which loops around the opponent's foot and hurls them behind him.

Super Moves:

-Dragon Doppelganger: Jake Long clasps his hands together and three duplicates will emerge around him (taking the form he is in at the time). The clones will rush the opponent and attack them a few times before flashing and exploding like a fiery bomb.

-Dragon Heat: Jake takes a deep breath, then emits a blast of fire from his mouth, creating a vast fireball that will engulf the opponent and inflict multiple burn-strikes. After it passes, he will take a short breather before returning to the battle.

-Power of the Dragon: Jake spreads his wings and dashes at the opponent. On a successful hit, he will turn into his dragon form, latch onto them and fly high up in the air. He will then proceed to lash out at them with his claws, tail, and wings, all laced in fire and striking from many different angles before he spikes them down with a tail swipe. He then takes a deep breath and belches a giant fireball down at them, the blaze expanding until it collides with the downed opponent. When the fire clears, Jake lands on the ground and resumes his human form.

FATALITIES:

-Quad-Dragon: Jake Long creates three duplicates of himself, then all four fly at the opponent, grabbing each of the opponent's limbs. With one deft pull, they yank off the arms and legs, leaving them a limbless torso. All four then fly into the air and spit a stream of fire at the opponent, who can only scream and writhe before they go up in flames.

-Fireworks in the Sky: Jake Long turns into a dragon, then grabs the opponent and hauls them into the air. He then takes a deep breath and spits fireballs at them as they fall. Each fireball takes off a piece of the opponent, including their arms and legs. With one last breath he spits a final fireball at the opponent, which hits them in the torso, causing them to explode.

Intro: A great, red dragon flies into the arena, then lights itself on fire as it touches down, fading away to reveal Jake Long who puts up his fists.

Outro: Jake smiles proudly, then engulfs himself in fire, returning to his dragon-form.

Theme Song: Theme of "American Dragon: Jake Long"

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: All seemed well in New York and, with the banishment of the Dark Dragon, mankind and magic folk both seemed to be at peace. That all was disrupted when a series of portals began appearing all over the globe, catching the attention of Jake and his grandfather. While the gateways seemed to be drawing people in, Jake and his grandfather couldn't help but worry that it might allow other beings out, including the Dark Dragon they worked so hard to defeat. Springing into action, Jake spread his dragon wings and flew right into the portal, hoping to close it from the inside.

Rival Cutscene:

(Flying through a darkened city, Jake Long was scouring the land for any clues. So far, none were to be found.)

Jake: Eye of the Dragon...

(Jakes eyes glow red and, after a few seconds of seeing nothing, he spots a moving target. One familiar to him...)

Jake: It's him! Wonder if he knows anything...

(Jake soars over to the figure. Sure enough, it's his old ghostly opponent, looking at some tracking device and looking somewhat down in the dumps)

Danny: Darn. So much for that hunch.

Jake: You too, huh?

Danny: (surprise) What the?!

(Danny glances up and sees a red dragon flying right above him on broad wings and sporting a familiar grin.)

Danny: How the heck did I not notice that?!

Jake: I've got a suspicion. Wanna take this to terra firma, man?

Danny: Uh...Sure. Why not?

(Both make a smooth landing, Danny landing in a "superhero fashion" while Jake touches down like a bird, engulfing himself in fire to return to his human form.)

Jake: Wassup, Dan the man?

Danny: (shrugs) Same as you, I guess. Stuck in this backwards world and all.

Jake: Kinda hopin' for a more upbeat response, but I getcha.

Danny: I've been at this for a long time and I expected this to be ghost-related. But it's not.

Jake: And it's not magical either, and my history with that is as long as yours, I bet.

Danny: ...Well, there's only one way to get answers, right?

(Both turn their gaze to the tower in the distance.)

Jake: And there's only one way to get there. (smiles) DRAGON UP!

(In a burst of fire, Jake transforms into his dragon form.)

Jake: Yo, D to the A to the N-N-Y, how 'bout 'nother fight between you and I?

Danny: Well, I'll tell ya somethin' Jake, er...Y'know what? I'm gonna skip the rapping.

Jake: Oh, come on, man! It's fun!

Danny: Normally, I'd agree, but this is kind of important. 'Sides, these kind of things need serious planning ahead.

Jake: Psch. Rookie. (ponders the thought) Oh, alright. If I win, I kick the butt of whoever's behind this.

Danny: And if I win?

Jake: You gotta kick his butt once for me.

Danny: I like your thinkin'. Now, watch out! I'm goin' ghost!

(The two fly at each other, laced in fire and ecto-energy to resemble torpedoes. Fade to black.)

Ending: Defeating the Mastermind was surprisingly-easy for Jake, especially with nifty dragon powers. There was no sign of the Dark Dragon to be found, so Jake's fears were put to rest and he could set about returning everyone to their proper places. In the aftermath, he was soaring through the sky on another patrol through the city, and with a new teacher on dragonhood--a purple dragon he had met named "Spyro".
