Jackdaw
"Call me ‘Jack.’"

The Biography

Birth Name: Joachim
Aliases: Jackdaw, J, Jack, Jackie, Jacky, Jacq, Jacques, Jaco, Jacob, Jacobi, Jakob, Jake, James, Jason, Jay, Jayce, Jim, Jimmy, John, Johnny, Johan, Johannes, Blackjack, Jackal, Crow
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Birth Day: June 10
Arcana: The Devil
Status: Enslaved

Profession: Former “Hound,” aka Jackal

Appearance: Wildy disheveled ashen hair frames an almost statuesque face, often covering the right side of Jackdaw’s piercing fuschia eyes. A lilac marking covers his left eye, an almost lightning bolt-like brand. Encircling his neck is a vicious scar. Standing at the completely average height of most men at 5’9”, his posture is usually slumped and casual regardless. With a wiry but lean frame, his muscles are well toned and his body quite fit.

Barcode and circuit-like bands of tattoos wrap around his forearms to his wrists. A pair of jagged lines streak across his upper chest and underneath the clavicle, starting from his sides and ending before the ribcage. The entirety of his back is tattooed with a black hole that eerily looks to be consuming his skin. Its void appears so real, that if one stares at it long enough, it slowly churns and spirals along his back, reaching out to his shoulders and sides, pulling in the streaks of starry light inked upon his body.

Appearance:

Personality: At his core Jackdaw is a free wheeling and easygoing spirit that comes and goes as he pleases, and often introduces himself as “Jack.” Also an asshole with a heart of silver (nobody’s perfect). It seems as if the only person Jackdaw cares for is himself considering he is brutally arrogant; his ego and self-confidence bloats to such a degree that sometimes that is all he talks about if given the chance. In fact Jack loves the attention he gets and more than explains that attitude.

With a tendency to ignore proper tact around strangers he is very informal and crass- his stilted vocabulary peppered by a Northern British accent is known to be riddled with expletives. A nonchalant and indifferent demeanor towards strangers and even those he knows doesn’t help his image any better either. Bluntly honest or lying to enjoy himself, Jackdaw can take almost anything to a grandiose extreme, considering his life could end at any moment. This unfortunately includes inopportune moments for flirtatious advances, much to others’ chagrin.

Once people get past his intense and larger than life nature, they may find a somewhat sincere person with a skewed sense of humor. It’s too much effort for him to express those feelings so he usually suppresses it and keeps it saved for choice moments. Jack simply finds it easier to tease and deride to show his affection.

The Potential

Strengths:

—Strength Name: And if You Gaze Long Into an Abyss...
—Description: Abbadon’s parasitism of Jackdaw manifests itself as a nearly active tattoo of a black hole consuming almost the entirety of his back. This conceals the blatant fanged form of six blades that would normally orbit around Jack.

—Strength Name: Holy Calamity, Scream Insanity, All You Ever Gonna Be Is Another Great Fan Of Me
—Description: A craver of attention and praise, Jackdaw greedily accepts it. His buff/enhancement skills gain a 15% increase.

—Strength Name: LET’S FUCKIN’ GOOOOOOOO!
—Description: Easily swept up in the searing heat and wild tides of battle while knowing how important morale and mindset can be, Jackdaw sharpens his focus to come out the victor. Any buff skill applied to him lasts an additional round of combat.

—Strength Name: DON’T UNDERESTIMATE ME!
—Description: Unable to bear anyone besting him in terms of physical capability, Jackdaw’s Dexterity is raised by 15%.

—Strength Name: That Ain't Luck, It's My Third Eye
—Description: Throughout his life Jackdaw has avoided potentially crippling injuries and fates, a survivor through and through. His Luck is increased by 15%.

(A floating Strength is a strength you've gained in RP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)

Weaknesses:

—Weakness Name: ...The Abyss Also Gazes Into You.
—Description: Due to the parasitism of Abaddon, the memories of Jackdaw are a jumbled and gap filled mess. His own sense of self is distorted, while his actions and motivations are led by this unfortunate fact.

—Weakness Name: Hell’s Prince of Sloth Demands a Price
—Description: Coupled with the mental blocks Abaddon has taken while in possession of Jackdaw’s body, an equally taxing physical demand of difficulty sleeping plagues the host. His ability to resist Sleep decreases by 15%.

—Weakness Name: OI, I’MA BATTER YA! C’MERE!
—Description: Despite his blasé attitude, the hot bloodedness of a former marauder and slave for demons still runs through the veins of Jackdaw; his Rage resistance is reduced by 15%.

—Weakness Name: Piss On Yer Smoke’n Mirrors
—Description: Although one for theatrics and flashy showings, Jackdaw doesn’t rely on pure magical strength to see him through. His Demon Weapon’s pmstr is lowered by 15%.

—Weakness Name: ...I’d Rather Pistol Whip a Fucker
—Description: Regardless of training, Jackdaw's personal and unbridled distaste for firearms decreases his Side-arm's Gun damage by 15%.

(A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)

The Background

History: Jackdaw’s memories are fragmented due to his symbiosis with the Demon Weapon Abaddon. Names, faces, and events are either missing or haphazardly strewn and mixed about in his recollection. There is one constant though- in that he is a survivor of countless massacres and tragedies.

From what he has pieced together, his early life as a vagrant consisted of him flitting from one group to another, only for them to fall to the Demonic horde. In order to feel less attached and fall victim he assumed a different persona with each new survivor group he encountered. Picking up and teaching any new skills he could learn, he distanced himself from others ultimately. When that group fell, he took on personality traits from them and his past when adapting a new facade. He always named himself a variant that could be nicknamed “Jack.”

Eventually in his indomitable will to survive he was coerced into joining a group of marauders. While hazy at best along with most of his memories, it’s a dark path he doesn’t wish to retrace his steps upon. Oddly enough, this dreadful time contains the most dominant and memorable personality that emerged from Abaddon’s abyssal consumption of his mind and body- Jackdaw.

The last trial of horrors he remembers is serving as one of Demeter’s “Hounds,” human slaves that would track, infiltrate, then subvert vagrant human survivor groups, ultimately leading to capture or murder. In fact the chameleon-like Jack was so well accomplished that instead of being a nameless slave dog, he was granted the title of “Jackal.” This in turn led to his candidacy of the Demon Weapon Abaddon.

Up until that point every attempt to pair the former Archangel with a human host ended in failure. If the Hellish Prince of the Abyss didn’t devour his hosts bodies, their minds were either broken or lost, rendering them nearly catatonic. Emerging as a survivor once again, Jack was the first human to successfully bond with Abaddon, albeit at a heavy cost.

Continuing on towards the present, Jackdaw greatly relishes the taste of freedom once again. Knowing how fragile this mortal coil can be, especially with an unknown scar that loops around his neck like a noose, he doesn’t take it for granted.
