[color=green]Full Name:[/color] Jackson Marlow

[color=green]Age:[/color] 86, looks as though in his 30's (presently, it changes...)

[color=green]Species:[/color] Shapeshifter

[color=green]Gender:[/color] He forgot. He's usually male.

[color=green]Sexuality:[/color] Little care for species, usually goes with females unless necessity dictates otherwise. Helps that nobody knows his real age... (did I write it above? You don't see that.)

[color=green]Appearance:[/color] (this will probably change over time. I'll try to update these things as the RP moves along, but if there's a change on the spot, it will be described IC)

Presently, Jackson has taken the appearance of a random person he saw at the other end of a bar in Alabama (he decided a change was in order). He's tall, almost 6 foot, at 180 lb, with a figure that indicates some, but not extensive workout. He's definately not fat, but he isn't a mass of muscle (he prefers to take that sort of form). He has short brown hair and matching brown eyes that could almost stare into your soul (I know it's Supernatural, but don't take this literally).

[color=green]Personality:[/color] Cynical, smartass-y, and second-guessing of everything he hears. Paranoia is his middle name when he's high on coffee, but usually he's a casual (too casual sometimes) kind of guy. He doesn't reveal his nature and stays away from cameras, but in every other way he blends in and sometimes does it by being a royal pain. He's the kind of guy who asks why when someone gives orders, speaks when he finds something to be stupid, and would consider an angel an overstiff nuclear bore, while second guessing whatever he (she?... it?) says. Typically he is a little reckless and would be the only guy to really piss off the most powerful being in the room, but he's careful when he needs to be. He hates hunters and thinks they can go where the sun doesn't shine right along with demons. Otherwise he doesn't mind monsters and most humans. Basically, he is a bit of a contrast to his demon-hunting background.

[color=green]Backstory[/color]

Jackson Marlow was born in the dark forests of the western world (a relatively obscure part of southwest Canada). His family is unique in that it is not only a 5 generation line of shifters, it also has a few roots in hunting; odd indeed for a family of monsters. Given their irony, the older members of the family haven't done much in regards to hunting the "normal stuff" - so long as the monsters in question don't get in the way and aren't causing particular harm to people, they get off rather easily. It's ghosts and demons that they target.

As a result of a monster/hunter upbringing, Jackson is sort of the best of both worlds. He is most assuredly the kind of fellow a hunter would normally go after; and for that reason his family has few to no connections with other hunters. At the same time, he knows what takes out monsters, knows his capabilities and has a deep distaste for ghosts and demons, which are what his family hunts (demons particularly). He considers the average hunter to be a stuck up hypocrite with no life to speak of. He is again an enigma - he gets the job done when he goes after demons (in his lifetime, he has 12 chalked up), and is often busy and on the move, yet believes in living at the same time and being open minded about things. Why kill a nest of vampires if they aren't putting things out of balance?

Jackson's casual, but cautious (particularly whenever he gets a "gut feeling") nature and his ability to get along with monsters when it suits him are the keys to his survival - 86 years. Any regular hunter would count their blessings to have reached such an age, but not Jackson. He hates to associate himself with older (looking) folks, as it reminds him of how old he is. He tries to keep up with the times and act like he's under 40. That said, he has a few things to say about how the quality of certain things have declined over the years - don't get him started on appliances or cars. He seems to think both have declined over time. If he gets started on that conversation, just ask about his age.

[color=green]Extra[/color]
-Expect a bit of hunter/shifter drama. After all, don't we need a little drama while the seals are being broken?
-Most weapons he is alright with. He'll flounder a bit with long things, but short ones he can use well (daggars, crowbars, whatever). Guns he isn't a great shot with... at all. A bow's arrow would go back into his face. What he is good at is dirty fighting and dealing with hunters, and a bit of knowledge on what makes a demon say "ow".
-He takes to mimicking people he doesn't like. That means in the course of the roleplay during non-mission times another roleplayer might se their own character walk in and act like an idiot, particularly hunters. Angels would probably get a comical and royally offensive mimic from him as well if he gets off to a bad start with them.
-As mentioned before, he's a bit paranoid. Sometimes that will conflict with the reckless part of his personallity. Paranoia typically wins.
-If you don't already suspect it, he is a bit of a comic relief character. Bit tired of playing the serious folks :) doing that already in another RP.
-If he can get his hands on silver, he wears gloves and smashes it as best as he can with a heavy blunt object as available. Could it be that he hates the stuff?
-If he is being hunted, and knows he can't simply shake his enemy off, he will avoid cameras at all times, and if he is identified he will give the appearance of a vampire. That bit probably won't (or shouldn't have to) come in handy this RP :)
-He would probably get along better with monsters better than anyone else in the group. In fact, he would probably get along better with a group of monsters :P
