GENERAL INFO
PLOT PLANS My goal is to eventually get Jak out of Clearwater, and out of her current occupation into something a little more... legal. This could happen through a number of ways, though the most likely is that she makes friends/gets into a romantic relationship with someone who manages to (slowly) coax her out of her current life and into a more stable and legal one. It's obviously going to be easier said than done, but I think it would be fun to do.Now, on the flip-side, she could also get pulled into a team. It would have to be one that would let her keep her current Pokémon, because Jak would never abandon them, but her ties to her current gang are loose enough that she would totally jump ship for a better-paying gig. Jak's morals are corrupt enough that she has zero problems breaking the law, stealing Pokémon, etc. so she could do just about anything for the team... Just for the right kind of compensation, of course. Jak's biggest motivator is money and self-safety, so as long as those things are guaranteed, you'll easily hook her. I don't really have any hard-set plans, though, other than getting Jak out of Clearwater (where she goes from there is up to whatever happens). I think it would be totally cool if someone could pick up her little brother and sister so we could have an awkward family reunion (her siblings are total blank slates so if you're interested in playing one of them just lemme know--the only thing set in stone is that they're younger than Jak, and that they were sent to the same orphanage as she was when their family was forced to move into the slums. Other than that, everything is free game). | ABOUT Jak has never left the city of Wizen. Born and raised there, she was forced out onto the streets at a young age due to circumstances out of her's (and her family's) control. She would up getting reeled into one of the many gangs by a recruiter, although said gang wound up getting destroyed sometime later. For the past two years, she's been working as a debt collector/repo agent for one of the larger local gangs.Personality-wise, Jak isn't someone who one would generally want to hang around with. She doesn't talk much, is unsociable, and selfish as hell. She's also a little on the blunt side--you'll find no sugarcoated words here. Jak's level of apathy is pretty damn incredible; she's the kind of person who has basically stopped caring about... well, pretty much everything. FRIENDS Pshh. Friends. Jak is terrible when it comes to making friends--mostly because she "doesn't want them". She tends to come off as very cold and even aggressive towards those who attempt to befriend her, in the hopes of scaring those people off. She wants very little to do with others, which stems from a fear of getting hurt. Jak was fed the lie that her parents/family didn't want her and abandoned her (which was part of the reason why she was coaxed into joining her first gang), and after the death/destruction of her previous "family" (gang), she's reluctant to make any meaningful relationships lest she suffer the same kind of grief all over again.That being said, Jak isn't impossible to befriend. While she has kind of shoved all her emotions off into a little box and as adopted a very apathetic attitude, there are still opportunities to break into her shell. The types of people she's likely to befriend will vary drastically; for instance, it would be easiest for her to initiate some kind of relationship with a fellow criminal in Clearwater (provided they're working towards the same goal), but that person would have a tough time establishing something more meaningful. On the other hand, someone who's overly friendly and persistent will get the extreme cold shoulder, but if/once they do break in, they'll have a bit of an easier time directing Jak towards more friendly behaviour. The thing to keep in mind, though, is that Jak will never make the first (open) move in terms of establishing any kind of relationship--she has to be kind of pushed into it, otherwise she'll just shove the feelings off and continue about her day. Basically, she will need to be led through the process of being a good friend, although if she figures out what's going on too soon, she will likely freak out and suddenly cut ties with whoever is trying to befriend her. While blatant displays of friendship aren't really her thing, though, the possibility of her displaying it in smaller ways most definitely exists. Jak may not even acknowledge the bond, but rather, act instinctively; anyone who's breached the "friend barrier" will be greeted with a (slightly) kinder disposition, as well as some subtler displays of affection. ENEMIES A number of people would probably consider Jak their enemy. Between her behaviour and her occupation, she's bound to get a fair following of people who harbour some intense dislike for her. As far as she's concerned, though, Jak doesn't really have any enemies. She really doesn't care about people enough to categorize them, and the only time she's ever going to consider someone a true enemy is if they hurt the people, Pokémon, or things she holds dear to her.LOVERS While she's not completely closed off to love, Jak is not going to be an easy person to romance. Her attachment issues with friends are bad enough, and it can be expected that her fears are going to be even stronger when it comes to the more intimate relationships. It's going to take a fair amount of patience on her partner's part to actually coax her into something romantic, and everything will need to be taken one step at a time. However, once Jak gets the hang of things... well, things could get ugly. Jak has the potential to become incredibly overprotective, and yes, she would be the "jealous" and "insecure" type. Definitely not an easy person to love.On the brightside, if that drama can be avoided/dealt with, Jak could make for a decent girlfriend. She'd probably always be a touch overprotective, but her hesitancy from the earlier parts of the relationship would likely dissipate as she got more comfortable with the concept, and the person. Jak is huge on the whole trust thing, so once she's sure she can trust her lover and vice versa, most (but not all) issues would likely be nullified to some degree. |
