Note: I've only ever seen one episode of Adventure Time.

Personality: Jakabytes are generally laid-back and tend not to worry about things. They rely heavily on their powers (or companions) to get them out of any dangerous predicament they get themselves into, which is often. They often cracks jokes at serious times, but if a companion is feeling disheartened Jakabytes always have a lecture or a song to cheer them up. Acting as world-wise mentors, they are always willing to give input and advice about a situation, but their suggestions are usually inconsistent; they range from encouraging and helpful to ridiculous nonsense. They can be somewhat irresponsible at times, frequently leaving companions to fight most of a battle on their own, but they always pull through when they are needed most. Jakabytes may be dyslexic, as evidenced by the fact that they usually write backwards.
Jakabytes love to eat. They like junk food, especially pies both fruity and nutty. They aren't afraid to try new foods and many Jakabytes like to invent their own foods.
Jakabytes are known to have a very short attention span. They can literally forget about a conversation in a moment, and start doing something completely unrelated.

Physical Description: Jakabytes are dog like. Their appearance varies, as does the dog they appear as. Jakabytes can walk on two legs or four, depends on their mood or goal. They can change their general shape as they wish, but they are always clearly identifiable. However, for utility their altered shape can function just as well.
They usually have very thin arms and thick torsos with rounder heads. Their features are similar to the dog they are related too, such as a bulldog or an irish wolfhound.




Jakabytes have no lands of their own and mingle with other races normally as travelers and adventurers.
