Readvertise: Jake Rivera-Collins *I got permission from Morgan to readvertise for Jake, since he's belonged to Jo and I for 15 years*
Name: Doctor Jacob (Jake) Rivera-Collins PB: Player's choice (but is the adult son of characters PBed by Nikki Reed and Kasey Kane biologically with Ben McKenzie as his adoptive father) Age: 30-32 Job: Pediatrician Living arrangement: Player's choice Children: Player's choice Relationship status: Player's choice Need: Older brother of Tommi-Lynn Rivera-Collins, and life long friend and crush of Olivia Priest Bio: Jake was born to teenage parents Quinn Rivera and Ethan Whalen. Ethan's family came from money, where Quinn's were a lower, working class Portuguese family. The Whalen's did not approve of the relationship and persuaded either to abandon his girlfriend and son, soon after Jake was born.
Quinn took a job waiting tables at the Daily Grind coffee shop, in Providence Rhode Island, where Quinn met fellow Nate Collins. The pair fell in love, got married and had a daughter of their own, Tommi-Lynn, who would become Jake's little sister. Nate took over the roll of raising Jake, and raised the little boy as his own, even adopting him and giving him his last name. Their is no question to Nate that Jake is his on, no matter what DNA says.
Jake grew up along side his sister, in Providence Rhode Island, where they became friends with Olivia Priest, pretty much from the age the girls were still in diapers. Olivia's mother owns the Daily Grind and so the trio spent a lot of time together in their youth. Jake was Olivia's first real crush and first kiss. But they hadn't seen one another in years, after Jake left for college and Livie moved back to England with her father after she finish high school.
Jake is a smart, caring and intelligent young man, who is either finishing his last year of residency or is a full fledged doctor, working in pediatrics.
I would love to be able to try to explore a relationship between he and Olivia as he has been part of her backstory since she was created over a decade ago. However its not required that they be romantically linked, other than she had a crush on him when they were kids and still dose.
