CHARACTER INFO
Name: Jackson “Jack” Darby
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Faction: Autobots
Occupation/Specialization: Student/Fast Food Worker/Autobot Ally
Appearance: Everything about Jack says the same thing. Average. Average height, average weight, average attire. He typically wears t-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes in muted colors. His hair is black, and he keeps his hair slightly long to where a few strands of it almost go in front of his eyes. His eyes are colored blue.
Altmode: N/A
Pertinent History:
Jackson Darby has spent his entire life in Jasper, Nevada where his mom June Darby works as an emergency room nurse. The two have been on their own since Jack was young, his parents divorcing and mother getting full custody of him. Jack’s father ended up moving away and Jack has had no contact with him since then. Despite being raised by a single mother for most of his life, Jack turned out pretty okay.
Living with a single parent taught Jack a few things. One was that nothing worthwhile was free, it all came after hard work. So when it came time for Jack to start learning to drive, he was determined to pay for it himself. And he had his eye on one thing in particular: motorcycles. Growing up Jack had always been fascinated by two wheelers, even going so far as to buy a helmet when he was younger. So between school work and his...minimal social life...he got a job flipping burgers at the local fast food restaurant KO Burgers.
One evening, Jack’s quiet, mediocre life was shattered as he was getting off his shift at the burger joint. Parked out front was a gorgeous blue motorcycle that Jack could not help but admire. This bike turned out to be the Autobot Arcee, who rode off with Jack on her when attacked by two Decepticons. This car chase introduced him to the fact that there was other life in the universe. And Jack did not care one bit. He just wanted to go back to his old life where all he had to worry about was good grades, work and girls.
Unfortunately for Jack, this was not a possibility, as the Autobots realized that anyone perceived as an ally would be at risk, so Arcee was assigned as Jack’s guardian and sent to pick him up from school the next day. Thus his life has been filled with crazy stunts and adventures, usually trying to keep his friend Miko safe from her own sense of fearlessness which sees her jumping into dangerous situations. Though some of it can be his own doing.
Personality:
Jack Darby is quiet, not prone to extravaganza or loud actions. He’s not blessed with being witty in conversation, but makes up for it in his sincerity and his well thought out actions. He never goes looking for trouble, but when trouble often finds them he tries to keep a level head and think his way out of the situation.
Likes: Harmonica, Motorcycles, Girls, Autobots, Being Responsible
Dislikes: Decepticons, Recklessness, Being Talked Down To, Over Stuffiness, Irresponsibility
Strengths/Weapons:
Loyalty: Jack cares about his friends. There is nothing he would do to protect them, even if that means running into the mouth of certain danger and death.
Critical Thinking: Jack might not be the most intellectual of the bunch, but he is pretty quick in the critical thinking department, able to come up with a plan rather rapidly.
Hard Working: Growing up, Jack learned that the only worthwhile things in life came after hard work and persistence. This gave him a strong work ethic and a desire to never give up, no matter how hard or difficult the odds.
Mechanical: Jack has always had an interest in mechanical objects, being fascinated with how they work and go together.
Weaknesses:
Only Human: When you get down to it, Jack is just a human teenager, meaning he is susceptible to being crushed underfoot or shot by any Cybertronian.
Hormones: Like most teenage boys, Jack will do some pretty crazy things to keep a girl’s attention. Like the one time he agreed to participate in a street race when challenged by the school bully Vince because the Cheer Captain Sierra was right there.
My Responsibility: Jack has a huge protective streak, which while positive can land him into trouble himself when he is trying to save someone from a stupid decision, like running through the ground bridge at the last minute.
Special Skills:
Survival Kit: When given enough heads up on going out, Jack will pack a basic survival kit including a pocket knife, magnesium fire starter, water, and freeze dried macaroni and cheese.
Motorcycle Rider: Having been paired with Arcee for a while, Jack has developed quite the motorcycle riding skills, making him a near expert on the subject.
Fool Around on the Harmonica: Sometimes when Jack is bored, he does mess around on the harmonica, practicing every now and then.
