#sidestep jack

I thought I answered this one ages ago, but apparently tamblr never posted it SO

25.) do they prefer to be alone or with other people?

For the most part, Jack prefers to be alone. But on the nights they long for some...I guess semblance of human interaction? they’ll go to a diner or coffeehouse and listen in on the quiet thoughts of other patrons for awhile. 

They can’t bring themselves to actually talk to anyone beyond a casual greeting, so...this is as close as it gets. 

35.) if they could have any other superpower, what would they choose?

Time travel. They have a lot of questions that need answering. 

31.) what is their combat style like?

Quick, agile, and very acrobatic - they move as though they've had dance training though they can’t remember if they’ve actually received any. Ortega and Anathema would often jokingly refer to them as "Jack the Cat” due to their knack for always landing on their feet.

32.) do they favor forceful mind control or subtle manipulations?

Subtle manipulation most of the time, though they tend to accidentally Kool-Aid Man their way in when they're in panic mode.

33.) how do they feel about herald idolizing them?

34.) are they nostalgic for their sidestep days or eager to move on?

Oh, they miss it. They miss it a lot. And it's fucking ruining everything.

35.) if they could have any other superpower, what would they choose?

Answered!

1.) what is their secret identity? do they have any nicknames? what is the meaning behind them?

Jacinth “Jack” O’Conner is their secret identity. The first name came from a character in a book they were reading at the time, and the last name came from a pub they frequented. Their nickname, Jack, just came from the fact they were a jack of trades in their superhero’ing skills. 

2.) what is their sexual/romantic orientation and gender? 

Bisexual/biromantic, non-binary 

3.) what is their villain name? why did they choose it?

Badb Catha (meaning “battle crow” - which is the form she usually took), was one of the three war goddesses that made up the Morrígan. In many legends, she would often participate in battles to create panic and confusion among the soldiers, thus shifting the tide of battle in her favor. Jack tends to use their telepathy to do the same. 

I would have just gone with Morrígan, but I didn’t want them getting confused with DA’s Morrigan. 

4.) what does their villain armor look like? what is their typical style of dress?

I can’t draw for shit, but picture Eileen the Crow’s cape over an armored black catsuit, sturdy black boots, a pair of titanium gauntlets with long jointed talons, and a zentai mask with yellow eyes and small black feathers to accent them. They still wear a hood like they did back in their Sidestep days, because idk it looked cool in my head. 

On a normal day, they usually just wear any combination of black turtlenecks, t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, and cardigans over black jeans and black Doc Martens. Jack is the laziest goth to ever exist. 

5.) what is their zodiac sign?

Taurus

6.) what is their mbti type?

INTJ (The Architect) 

7.) what is their dnd alignment?

Chaotic goblin

8.) are they more calculating or more sincere in their interactions with others?

Ehhh little bit of column A, little bit of column B. If Jack is interacting with a person they know isn’t going to try to screw them over or poke their nose in their business, like say a rando cashier in a McDonald’s or some shit, they’re very polite and even friendly. They’ll crack jokes and touch on their plans for the weekend and just generally be a real cool customer. 

But if Jack detects even the slightest hint of fuckery, those walls are coming up so fast it’ll take your eyebrows off. 

9.) how honest are they?

About their plans, not even slightly. About their feelings, a little too much. 

10.) are they a leader or a follower?

Neither. Jack is a hurricane of neutrality who just does whatever fuckshit idea floats into their squirrelly little brain. Keep up or get left behind.
