Blizz"Well" Jackson said to Skallagrim "Once an American, always an American."
Jackson felt the ground shift beneath his feet. The sensation was awfully familiar: he had experienced the same thing when he said the name 'Skallagrim'. That was back when he was in his home. That was when he was still in America, where the scent of freedom was able to fill his nose and through his circulatory system, freedom flowed through his veins. The hall, however, was not free- not as much as the great land of America. Getting used to the lack of freedom in the air, Jackson needed to adjust himself. However, he was not given the opportunity.
Soon enough, Andrew Jackson was shanghai'd off to another place. The president stood at the center of a cross section between two streets.The president looked around to see the stoplights at each corner of the road. The side of the street that was larger featured several work buildings: super markets, bakeries, gas stations, restaurants, and the like. The smaller street features houses. The town itself was built in a valley, so most of the land was flat, and there were several stretches of land before reaching the mountains. It was night time, and everyone was asleep.
Though the area did not seem familiar, but Andrew knew where he was. Jackson took a short whiff of the air. It was the smell of freedom. He was home again. He was in America. But alas, he was not able to celebrate. He knew that in his position, he'd have to fight someone of equal strength to himself, and by doing so he put lives of free Americans in danger. He was lucky that he arrived at such a time, or he would have to quickly evacuate everyone.
Andrew Jackson gripped onto his M16, examining it. "Technology sure has changed since I last seen it" he remarked, scanning the gun and its workings.
"Alright!" Andrew shouted "Whoever I'm fighting, you can come out now."

Planning to post tonight Skallagrim?
We've still got Grievous to wait on. I'm sure that once Grievous has posted, Skallagrim will gladly post.
Of course, I can't exactly speak for either of the two.
Are you American? Because I hope you're free tonight.
The year was 2014. It was a good year to be an American; as are all years.This year, however, seemed to be growing relatively grim. Despite being the greatest, most powerful nation on Earth, people were starving while others ate. Money flowed but it all left the country as did the work. But Americans need not share wealth- sharing is for commies. But America needed help, and none arrived. Not even from the president. They needed a stronger leader. They needed a true patriot. They needed a strong man. They needed Andrew Jackson, and that's when it happened. They gods of freedom and the spirit of the radio had sensed the country's dire need, and decided to fulfill it by resurrecting one of the country's greatest leaders: Andrew Jackson.
There was a single beam of light which shot straight towards the heavens. It was brilliant and blinding. Its point of origin? The Hermitage. Walking and breathing again, was the United State's seventh president. He brought his index finger to the surface of the coffin, thrusting his finger against the woodwork. The lid popped off, flying toward the wall. A family of tourists had been watching as the president rose from the coffin. Youth was restored to his face, and his eyes seemed to burn with vigor and the brilliant light of freedom.
A tour guide was the first to give her salute. She was soon followed by the rest of the tourists, who as free Americans, instinctively knew the face of one of the country's greatest leaders. Taking his first step on earth for over a century, Jackson saluted back. A soldier within the Hermitage bowed to the president. It was as if the country had prepared for a day for this savior's return. Jackson was presented an arsenal of America's greatest weapons. He picked the first one he saw, knowing automatically the greatness of American ingenuity and craftsmanship.
However, Jackson was unable to serve within his country for long. He felt a voice calling for him. A challenge; not only for him, but for all the American people. As a proud American, Jackson had to take of the challenge. Before leaving, the spirits of freedom, liberty, and justice presented him with a sword. The sword was known as the Liberty Brand. It was originally forged in Hiroshima by Nippon blacksmith during the Sengoku period, containing a power that could not be wielded. When the bomb was dropped on the city, the freedom contained within the bomb had become absorbed by the sword, morphing it.
Soon enough, Jackson was transported to the Great Hall. Before him were several men. Jackson did not bow- Bowing was for filthy Chinamen. "Hello" he said "are you American? Because I hope you're free tonight."

It's like he somehow knew how to create a character which would annoy me as much as physically possible.
Name: Andrew Jackson
Age: 170
Gender: Male
Race: Revenant
Random descriptors: 6'1"; 140 lbs.
Character Tier: Intermediate
Character Type: Tournament Participant
Physical Description: Andrew Jackson is a tall, skinny man with an imposing gait and even more frightening aura. Most who look towards the man are impressed by how incredibly strong he is and the sheer amount of power that he possesses; even when he doesn't wield any power. He has the habit of walking around as if he owned the place regardless of his situation, his posture always seeming a bit too comfortable to seem natural.
Despite his actual age, due to the power of freedom, Andrew Jackson appears to be around the age of 20 and possesses the vim and vigor of a man in his prime. He possesses long, messy red hair which seems to stand up on its own as well as piercing blue eyes- the eyes of a man who has been through hell and back. There is a noticeable scar on his chest on his right side shaped like a ball; the scar is usually covered by Andrew's usual clothing. He also possesses another scar which covers the whole of his back, which is in fact several scars. This chain of scars forms the American flag down Andrew Jackson's back, self afflicted, the man claiming "It is a simble of my suffering for this nation".
Andrew Jackson wears a brown tweed jacket over a collared white shirt with a black bow tie. Under it is a pair of dark raw jeans. For shoes, he wears simple black loafers. At the bottom of his shoes, it is carved an American flag. That way, when he defeats his opponent and stands over his opponent, he can mark his opponent's face with the American flag. America.
Personality Description: He is motivated by a sole goal, which he keeps on his mind running 24/7. This goal is simple; this goal is freedom. Andrew Jackson loves his country of America and will stop at nothing to ensure its survival. By extension, he makes it his duty to ensure that freedom never dies. Wherever he goes, he has the urge to spread freedom. In addition, Jackson is incredibly tough and imposing. He doesn't back down from a fight, regardless of how difficult it may be for him. He feels almost obligated to fight for what he believes in, and what he believes in is freedom.
Because of the rawness and instability of his power, Andrew Jackson acts like a man who has only a few seconds to live. He is therefore prone to flirting with whatever female he may meet.
He hates injuns. He also hates banks.
Skills, powers and abilities:
Old Hickory: The power of liberty and freedom have granted Jackson a body that does not yield through time. Through the power, he can maintain the body of a 20 year old, achieving peak human abilities. He can run is capable of running a mile in under 3 minutes, swimming a similar distance.

Trail of Tears: Jackson can induce tears to endlessly flow from his opponent's eyes, should his opponent have the capability to.
Freedom's Wings: Jackson is also capable of manipulating the physical aspects of freedom, allowing him to call on and control it in the form of the majestic eagle. He is able to create about 2 eagles every 3 minutes,though the amount of eagles he is able to create seems limitless. His control over the eagles is also quite versatile, The only rules he has is that: Andrew Jackson can only control his own eagles, he can only manipulate them as long as they are functionally eagles, and he cannot break any rules of the constitution; the eagles are regarded as Jackson's property. By default, the eagles appear as eggs and grow to be eagles, their rate of growth controlled by Andrew Jackson. An egg is able to grow into a fully grown eagle as fast as a second. Jackson is also capable of controlling the size of the eagles and their bodily functions.
Character Equipment:
Liberty Brand: A sword granted to Andrew Jackson at his resurrection by the spirits of freedom, liberty, and justice for all. The handle is straight and cylindrical, wrapped in a dark leather and long enough to accommodate two hands comfortably. The hand guard appears to be a a stylized torch, making it so that should Jackson hold the sword, he would appear like the statue of liberty, holding her torch. The blade is single edged and completely straight. The blade itself in unbreakable even when bashed against the hardest of materials so long as freedom prevails. When wielded by a non-American, its cutting power is equal to that of a rusty knife. However, when wielded by a true, free, and proud American, the sword is able to cut through solid steel without effort. The Liberty Brand has the ability to shoot fireworks from its tip as Jackson makes a thrusting motion with the sword. (Tier 5)
M16: A soldier who encountered Jackson after his resurrection before he was taken to the Nexus of Worlds. The soldier took a knee in honor of the president and presented Jackson his weapon, the grand M16 made in glorious USA.

It was a sad day for America, Andrew Jackson finally died.It is said that at his funeral, his parrot had to be removed because it swore too much. He returned to life years later by his nation's dire need for a true American hero as a revenant; a spirit of vengeance.

I think I'm the only guy that doesn't spit acid/venom. lol.
Then I will be the second guy who doesn't acid-venom.
Do you mind if I joined in last minute?
I'll join in if that's okay. It'll take a bit of time to make my character though, if that's okay with you.
