IN CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: jake "hangman" seresin
CHARACTER AGE: ambiguously late twenties
CHARACTER CANON: top gun: maverick
CANON POINT: just after he flies out and saves mav and rooster's life.
ABILITIES: he literally has no supernatural abilities except being a (metaphorical) ken doll come to life with genetically blessed teeth. he is a normie guy who is in the upper upper echelon of an already pretty competitive field. his skills stop at abs, flying fighter jets, and being able to laser-in on your greatest weakness without a lot of effort.

SURVEY
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?:
navy pilots who graduate from top gun in real life earn up to $175,000 a year. jake, whose background and family are not spoken of very much if at all in canon, never displays discomfort with literally anything, and walks around with an air that screams "i have never had to work for anything in my life, and i am better than you in every single way." given this, i extrapolate his entire cocksure personality to read more like, "i am better than you in every single way, and i have never had to work for anything in my life, because i come from an incredibly wealthy family who made their money ranching in texas." jake doesn't think about wealth because jake has always had it, which isn't to say he can't be sensitive about it (although he will be insensitive about it if he thinks your relationship to it sucks), but it's definitely not the nucleus in his life.
WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?:
a navy man, he would major in beach. realistically, probably engineering, given that aviators are insanely smart and are secret little STEM jocks.
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?:
his entire life is interesting, what do you mean he has to pick one. he is beautiful? he is shredded? he is 6 feet tall and a fighter pilot who wears a uniform and has dog tags even though the navy stopped issuing dog tags but evidently not in the world of top gun. canonically, jake is also "the only naval aviator on active duty with a confirmed air-to-air kill", and this is a Big Deal; his reputation precedes him because of it. the most offensive part about it is that jake knows that it's interesting, so it's not like he shies away from showing it off. as of pull-point, he would have two confirmed air-to-air kills.
DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER USING ONE SONG FROM THE EARLY 2000S:

NAME 1-3 VICES YOUR CHARACTER INDULGES IN:
masturbating, carbs, vanity, and regular trips down the highway to the danger zone.
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S LIQUOR OF CHOICE?:
tequila with salt and lime, then cold beer. but he's a navy man, he can drink anything.
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIKE THEIR EGGS?:
hard-boiled for macro reasons but softly scrambled and folded into a mcmuffin for actual enjoyment reasons.
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD TO DRINK SOMEONE'S DIRTY BATHWATER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?:
PAMELA ANDERSON. you cannot convince me baywatch was not a fundamental part of his persona growing up. all-american? hot? blonde? bathing suit? jake seresin to a T.
