===Darth Jake===
 
There are a number of stories which postulate that the emotional trauma Jake suffered through as a child would have serious future ramifications in his future. "Darth Jake" stories almost always focus of the characterization of Jake as horrifying, vicious, cruel, and acting out a pathological desire to show that he's a better father than [["MagMad Dog" Morgendorffer]]. Examples of this psychotic variation include [[The Angst Guy]]'s [[Darius]], [[LyinTamer]]'s [[Night of the Storm]], and [[Scissors MacGillicutty]]'s [[Where's Mary Sue When You Need Her?]].
 
A fic that subverts this variation is [[Chosin Fate]], where Daria finds audio tapes of her grandfather before and after the wartime events that transformed him into 'the Mad Dog'. In the fic, listening to those tapes had a cathartic effect on Jake; he muses on how that was the first time he had ever heard his father say that he loved him, and considers how his father was a damaged soul who wasn't trying to abuse him, but to toughen him up for the dangers of the world. We also see this in [[It's All About Respect]] where Jake and [[Lauriel de la Ribas]] speak on the 'Mad Dog's' service time, and how it affected him (Mad Dog) and the people around him.
