Ā Ā Ā what up my nameās wesley iām 19 and i never fucking learned how to read
my pronouns are he/him & iāve got both skype and discord, hmu and iāll give those out or iāll tack a mun page up eventually weāll see idk, tumblr im is always good too!Ā
at the moment i donāt have anything up on jackās character ( like stats, etc ) because iām ngl i sent my account in and immediately fell asleep until like.. now? at 12-1am hgfjdks buuuut hereās a run down of the basics. trigger warnings: drugs mention, violence mention,Ā my muse is a survivor of CSA and iām briefly going to mention that at some point in this.Ā
jackson knight. Ā youāll know him as jack and if youāre real close to him, maybe some variation of jacky -- but a word to the wise, i wouldnāt test how close you are with him by trying that nickname out. it really ticks him off when itās out of the wrong mouth.Ā
heās twenty-eight years old and heās always lived in morris, probably always will too tbh?? heās a bartender at some ( how i imagine it, anyways ) dinky little pub that is frequented mostly by like, sketchy people & itās no coincidence he works there because iām pretty sure thatās where his little gang operates out of. i donāt think theyāre really a proper gang, for the record.. every time i try to picture one in this small town setting i just come up thinking of like 3 dudes, maybe a mobster from 1930 ( kudos to sami on that one ), and a one eyed squirrel named hank, idk, idk.Ā
in all seriousness though whatever the gang is, probably like 20-30 people npc Ā or otherwise, i imagine itās where most of the drugs circulate in this place and jackās probably a muse yours would hit up for some bud. heās been at it since he was literally thirteen years old and in a town as small as this, i really doubt thatās gone unnoticed reputation wise.
background.
backing up a little bit though and delving into his history a bit is pretty much a necessity to understanding who jack is as a character though because hereās the thing -- had things been a little different when he was young, he wouldnāt have gone down the path he did. but the facts are this: he was thirteen, his little brother noah was only nine, and their single mother could barely keep a roof over their heads, let alone keep up with noahās hospital bills / medical expenses. you see, noah was -- and is -- a really sick guy, he has CVID and things were real tough growing up. jack took it upon himself to start bringing in money, but there isnāt a whole lot a thirteen year old kid can do that is yknow.. legal. so he meets a guy named david -- an npc whoās a father figure of sorts -- and starts getting involved in some heavy shit. i wonāt go into detail but this is important to know: he didnāt do anything he didnāt have to, whether or protect himself or someone else... in particular, noah. that kid is his fuckinā world.Ā
( csa mention coming up ) Ā so, backing up further, i really just need to emphasize that jack has been protecting his brother for their entire lives -- in some ways noah knows, and in some that he doesnāt. as far as his mom and noah know, their dad just left, no word, no explanation, but to get right to the point, he had been abusing jack between the ages of 5-7. he stopped when he was around eight, but then when jack noticed him talking to his younger brother more and in an effort to make sure the same never happened to him, he confronted his dad and basically gave him an ultimatum ( while holding his dadās own rifle at him, little jack was playing no games honestly ): leave and donāt come back, or iāll tell and shoot you & that was just that. this is something that only jack knows to this day and itās a very genuinely bad case of repressed trauma, but he simply isnāt the type of person who would seek help. it does affect him a lot, via nightmares and certain other distrust in relationships etc, as trauma will do to a person. character development wise, one of my goals is definitely to have him get some help / work through those issues but due to the nature of them, itāll be kept extremely vague and heavily tagged if it even remotely comes up. ( csa tw end. )
when he was young, he missed a lot of school -- i mean, a lot of the time he was skipping to work, and even more often heād be taking care of his brother at home. by the time he hits 10th grade, he drops out. to this day he remains without a g.e.d or anything of the sort, but i think it would be an interesting plot point if he decided to get it finally?? see, i picture him and his now 24 yr old brother live in an 2 bedroom apartment together (maybe one day iāll bring him too~) Ā but now that noahās grown up, he doesnāt need jack so much and all this time, he wasnāt really living for himself, you know? he doesnāt have the slightest clue what to do with himself if hes not providing for / protecting someone.
personality / extra !!
despite the whole rough, tough guy thing heās got going on, jackās a pretty mellow guy in most circumstances? i mean, heās quiet. he keeps to himself and abides to that wholeĀ āonly what i gotta doā when it comes to talking to people too. heās a little dumb honestly but the guy has a 9th grade education at best go easy on him
he had to grow up real fastĀ
heās really good with kids & anytime he sees them involved in shit they shouldn't be, getting them safe is his number 1 priority... kids are like, his soft spot i guess?? like if you hurt kids ur dead to him
honestly if not for the wholeĀ ābeen in a gang since 13 and probably-killed-a-manā² thing hes really ?? not that bad a guy like i keep laughing every time i say that but what can i say man like his moral alignment is probably chaotic goodĀ
he does have two main interests: horror & poetry?? he wouldnt be caught dead admitting the latter but fun fact! his brother noah is a horror comic book author that goes by n.K and several of jacks poems / riddles have been featured in his books.Ā
