[hider=Jack Perkins][color=a2d39c][b]Name:[/b][/color] Jack "Pickles" Perkins [color=a2d39c][b]Age:[/b][/color] 25 [color=a2d39c][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male [color=a2d39c][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] Jack harnesses within him a personality (heretofor referred to as "[color=ed1c24]Pickles[/color]") that summons a supernatural state of being. Once Pickles takes over, all of his natural abilities are greatly enhanced during the duration. Agility, strength, healing, senses and durability are all amplified to superhuman levels, the peaks of which are unknown but initially three times amplified from a normal human while undampened. Two times while dampened. When the Pickles personality is not in control, Jack might as well be your average human. Pickles can be summoned, but often rapaciously takes over of his own accord, despite Jack's willingness to surrender control. Pickles is, by all accounts, insane and is driven by his own selfish desires whereas Jack is a reasonable person just wanting to do good. The two personalities can communicate with one another, but only one personality can "drive" at a time. [color=a9a9a9][i]Inspired by The Beast from 'Split' // Hulk, Legion from Marvel // Crazy Jane, Joker from DC.[/i][/color] [color=a2d39c][b]Skills:[/b][/color] Makeup application, balloon shaping, juggling, various novelty acts, cooking, public speaking and performing. [color=82ca9d][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] In addition to his civilian clothes (t-shirts and jeans, usually), he has his clown attire consisting of patchwork oversized pants, an occasional bowtie, and a bicycle horn that he likes to honk, a black curly wig. He also keep with him a shiv for self defense within the compound. [color=a2d39c][b]Biography:[/b][/color] Jack Perkins is a good man. Jack Perkins has demons. He was the son of a housewife and a cop, the latter of whom had a bit of an anger issue, exacerbated by an excessive drinking problem. Life at home was tense. Though his mother was the epitome of loving affection, his father was quite the opposite. Never happy, never sated and always taking his stress home with him. On the worst nights, Jack and his mother felt his wrath physically. Living in a groundhog's day of repetitive hell actually did a lot for Jack, helping him develop an emotional callus. It also birthed other forms of coping mechanisms within himself. Since he had no friends, he made one. Since he couldn't go outside to have fun, he went on imaginary adventures with his new custom companion, whom he learned was called Pickles. As the years went on, Jack and Pickles became extraordinarily close. They would converse with eachother, console one another and generally just became totally intertwined and bonded. Both of them had a growing resentment for Jack's father, but Pickles most of all. He would make crazy suggestions, advising Jack to bring harm upon his dad or worse... The dark days grew pitch black in January of 2013. The Black Sabbath had happened and it's effect rippled across the world. When Jack was 12, he and his parents were at a grocery store. One of the patrons was arguing with a cashier. The altercation became heated and, before anyone could really understand what was going on, the Patron seemingly [i]ignited[/i] the cashier without any use of tools. His father, an off-duty cop, decided to interject and attempted to tackle the assailant, but the Deviant was not going down easily. Later that night when the ambulance came, they tried to console the young man who had just seen his parents immolated in flame and reduced to gore and ash before his very eyes, along with several other customers who got caught in the line of fire. Jack was alone. Well, except for Pickles. Something changed within him that night. Something triggered. Suddenly Pickles figured out how to grab the keys to the proverbial car. Foster home after foster home, Jack was passed around several times. Devious behavior was a constant problem but any time Jack was confronted with it, he would claim innocence. It wasn't him. It wasn't [i]his[/i] idea to do surgery on the family cat. It was Pickles. Each time he was caught in a particularly disturbing incident, the adults were mortified to see that the boy had covered his mouth and nose in lipstick. Or was that red substance something else...? It wasn't long before the government decided he was a lost cause. Shipped off to a juvenile institution, Jack became a product of the system. On his 18th birthday, he was up for release. Mustering all the willpower he could, Jack kept Pickles at bay and put of a show of absolute sanity to the release board. His performance was rewarded with some spending cash a door that slammed shut on his way out. Depression was constant and his interaction with Pickles was all the more prevalent. At 25 years old, Jack has let Pickles "out" on numerous occasions. Sometimes voluntary, many times not. His psychological counterpart was becoming more radical, harder to tame. Jack hated what the Peacekeepers were doing to the Deviants, despite his own history with them. It was cruel and unjust. Pickles felt the same, except Pickles was not afraid to act on it. On night, Jack woke up to the sight of blood on his cuffed hands and a pain in his neck. Armed peacekeepers surrounded him in the back of a large military vehicle as they drove through the entrance of one of the Devo compounds. "What's happening?! Where are you taking me?" he cried out, frantic. "Going to lock-up, devo." "I'm not a deviant! What are you-" he tried to explain but was cut off by one of the keepers slamming the butt of their gun into Jack's mouth. "Shut up, you sick fuck! The things you did back there... the bodies... You bit Carl's [i]throat [/i]out, for God's sake, you sadistic fucking loon! He had a family! ...they all did..." One of the other keepers put a hand on this man's shoulder, trying to console him. Jack just looked on bewilderment, confusion filling his mind as he found himself admitted to the slums. Jack didn't like the Peacekeepers. Pickles was trying to help. Jack Perkins is a good man. Jack Perkins has demons. [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/MCw8y4Z/jp.jpg[/img][/center][/hider]
