Flappy Jakes is an online pseudonym for a University of Washington student named Johnson.

He withholds his full name for security reasons.

He enjoys running, photographing, writing, acting, learning, and miscellaneous activities. The notion that he is somewhat smarter than the average person occasionally enters his head, but that notion tends to be buffered by the fact that his general knowledge of the world is pockmarked by great gaps that are yet to be filled in and the fact that his mental processes do not click in such a way that is faster than most of the people he encounters. In short, his opinion of himself is often one of a slightly above average intelligent person, but it varies.

He is scared of being compared to other people because he cannot stand if he is below the other person, nor could he stand that he's above because his modesty and guilt prevents him from enjoying that position. Whether or not this modesty is a vain quality in of itself is open to debate as, in moments of conversations with him, it can be ascertained that he does have a high opinion of himself in certain instances he does well in and a low opinion in others. His low opinion could be derived from his ignorance or from poor performance in a subject. But paradoxically, he may sometimes have a low or over simplified opinion of his more well-tuned qualities and skills.

This behaviour, which is vain to an extent, may also be attributed to his desire to appear well in front of certain individuals or avoid their criticisms or negative thoughts.

What is understood about Johnson, though, is that he does not understand himself well enough to be consistent in his self-opinions, but he understands himself well enough to provide an unabashed critical review of his own person.
