The fandom doesn't have enough fun with the fact that Jak is from like 300 (general consensus I've seen in the fandom) years in the past:
Kleiver walks into the vehicle bay and sees Jak fixing up one of the buggies, humming a tune that Kleiver recognizes as an old sea shanty his grandfather used to sing, one that his grandfather passed down from his own gramps, etc.
Jak is in haven for some mission or another and Torn tells him about one of Haven's archeologists uncovering an old diary of an explorer from Sandover and how it's mostly full of the guy rambling about his 'best buddy' and Jak is like "Oh yeah, that was my uncle. Well, I guess he just called himself that, anyway that guy was actually his husband and he made the most kick ass braised yakkow ribs in Sandover." Que Daxter licking his lips and wistfully patting his stomach.
Ashlyn tells him about a 'sacred site' not too far outside of what used to be Dead Town (which used to be Sandover) and he just barely manages to brush off his chuckle as a cough. Later he asks Daxter if he thinks they'll find that shitty doodle of a lurker shark eating Samos that his friend carved into the wall of what used to be their secret hide out.
The gang is chilling at Rayn's place during the whole poisoning fiasco waiting for the next race, and he's half way paying attention to the history documentary on the TV above when he hears the narrator: "Historians are unsure of the significance of these strange, consecutive, horizontal lines carved into an ancient tree..." The image on the screen shows two stacks of lines, one just a few notches taller than the other. No one but Jak understands why Daxter starts tearing up and quickly changes the channel.
Also love the idea of Jak using out dated terminology and idioms. It's not offensive or anything, he just sounds like an old man.
I just think there's a lot of potential there. Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
