[indent]It’s hard to place if Jackson is a slob intentionally or does it unknowingly. The fact remains that, despite awareness or not, Jackson looks, acts, and more importantly, presents himself as a slob. His strawberry blonde hair is often unkempt. He sees washing it daily and tidying it up as a chore. He has much more important things to do, like sleeping or eating food. Because of that, you will often see him with messy hair. Odds are that, when you see him strolling through the streets of Verona, backpacking through The Wilderness, or just doing whatever the frick that Jackson Drake wants to do, you’ll see his hair be an utter and complete mess. Only on a rare occasion will you see this juvenile with combed hair. And that’s only in those instances when he’s trying to impress someone who has caught his eye. Speaking of eyes, Jackson’s are some weird brown, blue mix.


Despite how active he could be and how much he likes to walk, Jackson doesn’t maintain a healthy diet long enough for it to make any difference. If you were to ask him, he’d probably something like, “I might work out, but I enjoy food too much.” So, based off of that by itself, it wouldn’t be hard to give an estimation of why Jackson never achieved anything passed a low lean build. His body isn’t to the point of emo skinny; that’s reserved for his other family members. But don’t count on seeing Jackson flex for you. He won’t do it. And what’s more on that, he doesn’t have anything to show. He’s a person of above-average height and average weight too. They are respectively 5’11 and 150lbs. Pretty much the opposite of a bodybuilder.


Inside Jackson’s closet are the clothes of someone who doesn’t know how to diversify his fashion sense. Too many shirts that are a mix of band merch, video game merch, anime merch, and generic skater logos. And his pants seem to not know the meaning of bright colors, or anything other than blue and black. Seriously, just look at it! A decent amount of jeans and shorts, but they all look like someone pulled a bruised face, and plastered them over some jeans. You would think with how his mother made her living in her youth that he would have at least [i]some[/i] grasp on color variety. But nope, there is nothing to be had with Jackson. At least his style is his own. When someone hears about a little pest named  dressed in blue jeans and wearing some fandom-related merch, it’s ninety-nine percent likely that it’s Jackson Drake.

[indent]Jackson is a man of passion. He’s a hot-headed mess with horrible sense of direction. And he’s thick as all hell. Not very bright either. There are few redeeming, intelligent qualities about Jackson. But he tries to make up for it. He wants to show people that he’s not just foolhardy. He wants them to see his passion. Whether it's through his action to show those that doubt him not to do that or if it’s putting in extra effort in whatever he does. One thing you can count on Jackson is that he's a man that refuses to give up. Perhaps this is tied to his stubbornness. He will never ever bow out unless he is physically unable to.


Jackson is vocal. His bravado knows no bounds. He doesn’t exactly adhere to subtlety, and picking up on sarcasm has never been one of his strengths. Despite that, he says what feels and feels what says. Some say that he has an aggressive nature, often unpredictable and explosive. What could Jackson say about that? He just can't contain himself. He's a man that's blessed with an explosive curse.

[indent]Jackson Drake doesn’t believe in labels. It doesn’t suit him. That being said, he does have eyes for the female gender. He’s not shy about that. But again, he won’t label himself heterosexual or pansexual or anything with -sexual at the end of it. That just isn’t how he rolls. Again, with that being said, for what he looks in someone is to be absolutely chill. He can’t have someone overreacting over something he might say or do. God-forbid they cry because he got his ass kicked by the resident bad boy, or they get angry because he might’ve said something about how he never makes wise life decisions. 




That’s the dream, at least. Jackson would indeed like someone as perfect as that, but he knows that life isn’t a fairy tale. This isn’t some Disney movie or RomCom. He knows that someone like that doesn’t notice someone like him. So Jackson doesn’t spend time hopelessly fantasizing about it. Still, a person who could see beyond the rough exterior wouldn’t be so bad. If they could just look at the man behind the front he may or may not do for show, then that wouldn’t be so bad.

If only, right?[/indent]

[indent]The first third of Jackson’s life was spent in Seattle, Washington. Then, after a death in his family, his parents, [url=http://i.imgur.com/zKN085e.gif]Leonidas Theodore Drake[/url] and [url=http://i.imgur.com/9KqPJud.gif]Riley Johanna Drake[/url], with his sister [url=http://i.imgur.com/bXAvJP1.gif]Jade Riley Drake[/url], packed up what they could, and relocated to Verona. After spending a few months going from apartment to apartment, Leo’s auto repair shop took off. That allowed them to move into a [url=http://www.hotelroomsearch.net/im/hotels/al/modest-house-1.jpg]decent house[/url] in New Town. It wasn’t far from the schools and where Riley found work, which was The Salem Diner, where she is a waitress.


Spending the rest of his adolescent and upcoming teen years in Verona, Jackson was one of those boys who discarded safety and opted for recklessness. Over the course of his preteens, Jackson was high on energy. He got into more physical altercations than he did verbal ones.He didn’t know how to walk away. And maybe that’s what his main problem was. All of that pent-up energy with no idea how to use it positively. It was then, by the time Jackson was thirteen, he was put into some off-the-record boxing classes by a neighbor.


Over the course of the next couple of years, Jackson learned some valuable lessons from that neighbor. He was taught how to properly punch and when the right moment was to walk away.. He found that he really enjoyed boxing. Not just the hitting, but the sport itself. It gave him an outlet that wasn’t some poor kid’s face.. Granted, he gained other hobbies like skateboarding and working on cars.

When he turned eighteen, Jackson had given up on Boxing, feeling that he didn’t need it anymore. Instead, he focused on skating at the nearby skatepark, and working part-time at Drake Automobile Repair, which brought him great joy in doing.  It brought a sense of purpose to his life. 

Jackson felt weird. He experienced it first-hand when he was working on a car for one his father’s clients. It began with a headache, which Jackson wasn’t a stranger to. Working in a auto repair shop, those were bound to happen. But, as he would continue working on it, Jackson started to feel weak, almost as if nauseous. 

When Jackson proceeded one pace forward, his head hit the car, making a small dent into the front bumper, and landed face-first onto the cold, concrete floor. His father, who was just a few paces away, heard and saw him. He rushed over as soon as his legs would allow.

Over the span of the next three days, Jackson would occasionally wake up in his room. He had a bad cough and had a killer headache. When the second day came to an end, Jackson had taken a turn for the worse: his headache was twice as painful and his nose was bleeding, to which his family had him on his side. That seemed to help. There was nothing that they could do aside from praying that he would get better.

The third day had came, and something miraculous happened: Jackson was up and walking, completely without the symptoms of the illness. He had no headache, no dizziness, not even that feeling of nausea. At some point during that day, Jackson had went near some open flame. In his case, it was the flame from the stovetop. In front of that, something bizarre happened. Jackson placed his hand over the flame, and it responded to it. The flame rose as Jackson had pulled his hand away. It didn’t seem normal, which was obvious. Jackson would simply ignore that for the time being, and get to making his sandwich because he was starving, and he was holding up the line in their small kitchen.[/indent]

[indent][list][*]Control of fire depends on size of the source of fire manipulated
[*]Emotional state plays a large factor into Jackson's control. 
[list][*]Anger will make his manipulated flames erratic and out of his control.
[*]Happy will make them more in his control but not as strong; 
[*]Sad will be the same as happy, but they will be stubborn like Jackson, and not want to respond to him immediately. [/list]
[*]Only of of his three capabilities can be used and there is a small time window in-between each use before he can use it again.
[*]Extended use of his ability will result in automatic fatigue, and possibly the inability to use it for a short amount of time.
[*]While heat resistance is a given, complete immunity is not. Jackson [i]will[/i] get hurt by fire.
[*]If any existing source is doused in water, Jackson will be useless. Period.[/list][/indent]
