[indent][indent]Jackson treats his body like it’s a temple…except for all of the junk food and liquid candy (soda/pop) that he puts into it. Despite some questionable culinary choices, Jackson has a rather lean-eqsue boyish figure. When he’s not lounging around at his house or at the mall, Jackson is running around town and rides his skateboard all around, so naturally his body reflects that. He stands at six feet even and has a mostly toned body (though some parts are kind of flabby for obvious reasons). His hair is naturally medium blonde, but sometimes he goes through periods of dying it darker or lighter. In high school, he was mostly known for his light blonde hair, but nowadays he rocks a dirty blonde scheme. His hair is what one would call curly-wavy as gives off both a curly and wavy look (depends on the humidity, really). He also has hazel green eyes.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]Comfort over style all of the damn time. 

As a punk, skater, and lover of anything loosey-goosy, Jackson Drake’s whole opinion on what someone should wear is directly tied to his go-with-the-flow personality but also stand out like a sore thumb. Sometimes that means camo, sometimes it means dress like the inner skater boi that you are, but it almost always means that you can catch him wearing some kind of oversized hoody (when seasonally appropriate), baggy jeans and shorts (supported with a belt, of course), and maybe some kind of knit cap or hat. He wears either nike or vans all the way. There is no debate there. 

His favorite color is red, so a lot of what he wears has that color somewhere in his every day outfit.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][list][*][b][color=dc143c]FEARLESS[/color][/b] - An adrenaline junkie by nature, Jackson has a fight and flight response to almost everything he tackles on. Whether academic (okay let’s be real, school isn’t what you would call his forte), but everything else like physical and morality wise, Jackson fights with a reckless abandon that is sometimes a double-edged sword, but for the most part is very much a core memory. It’s in his nature to take risks, to show people, but also himself, that it’s okay if you fall but as long as you stand up. Jackson is also a little corny in his fearlessness and misguided, but there’s always noble intentions behind it. All in all, Jackson Drake is a firm believer in living every moment to its fullest and accepting any risks that may come from it.
[*][b][color=dc143c]Shortsighted[/color][/b] - Okay, so risks might be the nature of the game that is Jackson’s life, but one thing he has always struggled with was seeing the bigger picture. He never was one to plan that far ahead. And he’s kind of slow at picking up on simple clues that may hint to his actions not working in his favor. Sometimes he cares and sometimes he just likes to see where things might go. Whether this is taking on a jump for some of the videos he films for his youtube channel (where he posts parkour videos), tricsk he might try on his board, or simple assumptions about people, Jackson always goes into it with the opinion that it might work out. It’s always 50-50 for him and he rarely second-guesses himself. Might be a tad overconfident in his own ability, but it easily a perfect example of his bad habit about never thinking before acting.
[*][b][color=dc143c]Dependable[/color][/b] - Not to quote Toy Story, but Jackson is the kind of guy that you would have a friend in. This is because he understands what its like to not fit in with the popular crowd. Having a weird middle name and being teased for it, Jackson has been in a lot of situations where kids were cruel, so this is why he stands up for those who are targeted by others because of their indifference. Bullying isn’t cool and Jackson will fight the good fight for those who can’t defend themselves. This may have led him to jumping the gun sometimes and it may even explain some of his recklessness, but if there’s anything that could be said about this side of Jackson, it’s that if he considers you a friend or even if he sees someone in trouble, he will not hesitate to jump in. Because that’s what makes somebody money! And being money is good![/list][/indent]

[indent][list][*]Jackson comes from a long line of mechanics. His father, mother, three uncles, five aunts, and over 10 cousins all, in some way, are mechanics, work for the family business, Drake Auto Repair, or work for other garages around Angel Grove and the surrounding cities. As a result, though he isn’t a mechanic by trade, Jackson has extensive knowledge about automobiles and knows what makes them tick and can take apart/put back together almost any engine if he spends enough time with it. 
[*]Jackson is a student at Angel Grove University only because his parents said they’d kick him out if he didn’t either get a job or go to college, so he does both…kind of. He gets paid for his parkour videos via Google Adsense and maintains an average GPA at AGU. He also occasionally delivers pizza around campus, so he gets paid there too.
[*]Jackson has the bad habit of just saying whatever comes to mind. Is it always helpful? Hardly. Sometimes he’ll ask stupid question. Sometimes he’ll say things that might piss someone off, but almost always, what he says and what the actions that follow almost always get his desired results. He does need a firm hand to tell him to shut up, which he responds almsot ideally to. That’s something, right?[/list][/indent]

[indent][indent][b][color=dc143c]Why is JACKSON a good fit with the Rangers?[/color][/b] Jackson might have the attitude of a neanderthal and might be single-minded at times, but his moral compass may be the straightest you’ll ever see. His desire to help those in need, regardless if it puts his own well-being in danger is, as far as anyone he knows is concerned, unrivaled. He has a fearlessness and a certain reckless abandon that could be beneficial to a team of superpowered young adults just trying to save their city. And if I may be so bold, Jackson might not be a teenager anymore, but he certainly has the attitude that a certain space wizard once looked in for his team.[/indent][/indent]
