Overview:
Have you ever met one of those people so incredibly foolhardy and clumsy that they've tricked themselves into thinking that they're brilliant? Well, you're about to. It is no miracle that Jacob still works at the MCPD, considering the amount of cases he has successfully solved. The problem is he doesn't solve them in any conventional way that would make sense to a rational person. In order to truly understand the personality of the quirky detective, one must examine exactly what he is. A demon who, for absolutely no reason other than being kicked out of Hell (don't ask), has decided to solve mysteries. It's the sheer glory of being a detective, his rank and privilege as one of the Force that gives the boost to his ego he thrives on. Cases solved, death avoided and a nice mug of coffee (or 12) during the day are the things that bring him the most joy. Except, of course, informing anyone of his renown or having someone recognize him as a detective.
Musical Instruments: Supposedly plays the violin, but his practice sounds rather like a feline in pain
Languages: French (Primary), English, Italian and Russian.
Temperament: Bossy and Uppity
Emotional Stability: A little unstable
Spirit Animal: Kakapo
Primary Objective: To be the greatest Detective the world has ever known
Religious Preference: He's a demon. Kind of Christian in the way he believes in the existence of things, but adamantly dislikes anything from Heaven or Hell.
Orientation: Pansexual (doesn't give a crap)
Loves: Coffee, mysteries, himself, the pair of handcuffs for arresting suspicious characters he keeps with him at all times.
Likes: France, the bustle of the city, being busy with work, the hunt after a criminal mastermind, soup.
Dislikes: Making an ass out of himself, being isolated somewhere far in the country or woods, away from civilization, having someone not recognize him or having no idea who he is.
Hates: Vigilantes, Hell, other demons, failure.
Phobia(s): Atychiphobia

Favorite:
Song: Anything he's currently "playing" on his violin

Food: Crepes
Flower: White Lily
Season: Winter

Abode: A small apartment in Downtown
Family: None, see History
Acquaintances: -N/A-
Marital Status: Single (might as well be married to himself)
Personal History:
Jacob has no memory of previous life, before he died at the young age of 23 and was cast into Hell. He has no idea what he did to warrant Hell, if he was a bad person. His earliest memories are from the beginning of Hell, when he was tortured for the first time on the racks of the Pit. Those memories are blurred with pain and mashed in the wrong order, so the best place to start is the reason why he left (was kicked out of) Hell. After many years of torture, he was offered the opportunity to do the torturing himself. However, as his nature permits, he was an utter failure at that. So the superiors attempted to give him a job doing some menial paperwork for Hell. In which paperwork, some foolish imp gave him the schedule of a rather high-up official to organize. Said schedule was messed up so badly that the official in question was sent to a den meant for angels instead of demons. Jacob was then transferred to Soul Roasting, which he did equally bad at. There seemed to be nothing he was good at, so he was unceremoniously banned from Hell.
It was unheard of, but completely neccisary for him. His soul took on the shape and form of his human self, and that self became the basis for his shapeshifting abilities as a demon. He does not know where it came from, he suspects from his life as a human before. From there he found his hiding place in the PD, where he enjoys his job immensely and fights crime because he can.

Powers / Abilities:
Power One: Luck of the Idiot
Jacob has certain powers that he has collected being a demon that are basic to his demonology. One that is unique to him as a demon is his odd luck power, which actually makes him a bit more powerful than his superiors. He is regularly saved by his own stupidity, which prevents him from death simply by harming him in a non-lethal way. For example, if someone were to try and stab him in the back, the knife would turn out to be a fake one. Then it would also turn out they pushed him with the stab right into a patch of poison ivy. The power transfers the energy of the murder attempt into (relatively) harmless injuries or embarrassment.
Cons:
Personal harm of course. And deep, long-lasting humiliation.
Power Two: Shapeshifter
The ability to turn from his human form into any humanoid form that he has seen before. Any gender, hair, facial features, physique. The things he keeps are his accent (in the voice of his form) and his general demeanor, from the clumsiness to the bumbling gait. He can stay in the form for as long as he pleases, but if any of his Species Weaknesses are used on him he reverts to his human form. He has to revert to his human form before taking on another disguise.
Cons:
That damn giveaway French accent.
The derpyness seeps right through the disguise in his actions.
Equipment:
Skills:
Detecting Criminal Activity
The ability to drink 20 cups of coffee a day with minimal side effects
Martial Arts (he takes classes. If you ask he'll brag about his black belt in excruciating detail)
Species Abilities - Demon:
Vessel Capture: The ability to turn into a gaseous state and possess a person (self created NPC or with permission from the owner of other character). The person's eyes turn black for a moment in the beginning and right before the end of the possession, and they lose control of their bodily functions as he gains control of them. Since Jacob is a low level demon his possession does not allow him to read the mind of the character, just control their body. He can only be in this gaseous state for an hour max at a time due to its instability.
Immortality: Being not at all human, Jacob does not need to do anything humans do to stay alive. This includes drink, sleep eat or breath. He can do these things for show or pleasure but he does not need to. He claims he needs coffee to live: this is a falsehood. He also does not age due to the nature of his human form, see Powers.
Demon Physique: Faster and stronger than a human. Can deadlift up to a ton at a time, and has 3 times the reflexes of a human. Runs at up to 25MPH. The running is only for when he's shapeshifted or in his human form, since they do not work in a vessel. The reflexes and strength however stay in a vessel.
Species Weaknesses:
Salt - Salt burns his skin, if he is in a vessel or just himself. It does not kill him but is very painful. He cannot cross a line of salt or break one, so if one were to make a circle of salt around him he would be helpless to break it.
Devil's Traps - Devil's Traps are circles with runes and a star inscribed in them used to trap demons. If one was properly drawn around Jacob (in a vessel or in his human disguise) or if he walked into one, he would be unable to escape or break it until it was broken by someone on the outside of it. This is deeply embarrassing for him.
Spoken Word - An Exorcism would forcibly yank him from a host vessel and force him into his normal form. Even in his normal form it causes him pain. The word "Cristo", when spoken in his presence, causes him to flinch uncontrollably.
Holy Water - Burns his skin and causes him pain, even in a vessel.
Crosses, Holy Places, and Holy Objects - Make him uncomfortable
