Personality[]
Jake's living quarters
Jake is soft-spoken and kind. He keeps to himself, usually focusing on his work, and is very good at his duties. He fears General Red but enjoys Hannah's company, and likes to teach Hannah how to care for the flora and fauna of the estate's garden.
Jake also has a small apartment in the attic of the Red family manor. There, he keeps a small collection of books and items, most of which were gifted to him, and a potted plant that he closely takes care of.
Appearance[]
Jake is a basic GP-IV model, which is a specialized humanoid labour robot. All GP-IV robots are of the same make and design, but their colours vary; Jake has green and silver "skin" with light blue fixtures. He is tall and wide, with bulky shoulders and arms, resembling a very strong human.
Jake's eyes are basic LED screens with round black irises, resembling the "pie-eyed" designs of 1930s cartoons. Within the iris is a line indicator that changes angle according to his mood. At the base of his neck are two rectangular sensors that resemble a butler's bow tie. Jake's mouth is a slim line that will light up on each word he says.

Jake extends his legs to check on a bird's nest
Jake is one of the robot labourers on General Duke Red's estate. He was a close friend of Red's daughter Hannah, and Hannah would spend hours helping Jake tend to the manor's garden. However, Red finds it distasteful that his daughter would associate with a working robot, because Duke Red sees Jake as nothing more than a generic android. After catching Hannah hanging out with Jake again, Red orders Jake to move out. He is to be sent to a mining camp and leave in the middle of the night.
That night, Jake packs his belongings. He leaves his potted plant outside Hannah's bedroom, but she wakes up and meets Jake in the hall. Hannah figures out Jake is being forced to leave, and she runs to her father's room to urge him to rethink his decision. Unfortunately, while trying to balance the potted plant and run down the manor stairs, Hannah trips and falls. Duke Red emerges to find his daughter unconscious, holding one of Jake's belongings, and seeing Jake at the top of the stairs. He immediately assumes Jake has pushed Hannah down the stairs as revenge for being fired.
Jake being arrested
Hannah is taken to the hospital, still alive but comatose. Jake is brought to trial and the decision was made to scrap him and the other GP-4 robots. As they were being carried in storage trucks, the Blue Knight and his allies took the captive GP-4 robots to Robotonia.
During the war of Robotonia, Jake told Blue Knight that even though he respects Blue Knight's desires, he is happy with how he was living before and wants to return to Hannah. This caused some other robots to stop fighting the Robotonia war and return to their former lives. Jake embraced Hannah, who had followed her father and later returned home with her.
In the finals, Jake was seen along with Duke Red and his daughter in the crowd that was listening to Professor Ochanomizu's view of the Robotonia incident.
