↠ Reference/History: Canon History.

Jax was in the game 6I where he met City of Sin's version of Claire Temple, among others. He had a sexual relationship with a version of Wanda Maximoff and forged a close friendship with Claire; this game forced him to learn how to survive in the wilderness with various natural disasters and Jax, without the use of his normal skillset of arms trading, enforcing and occasional legit mechanic work was forced to learn how to do basic repair. It was formative for him, in that it was a situation where he had no control and his charm couldn't get him out of it, and it was the first time he'd ever lived anywhere other than his hometown.

↠ Powers / Abilities: Jax is a half decent mechanic, when he wants to be, and he specializes in Harley-Davidson motorcycles. He can fight and has a keen mind for manipulation; he's been one of the leaders of SAMCRO for a while, stepping up after his stepfather is stripped of his patch and exiled from the club. Most of his skillset trends toward criminal endeavors.

↠ Languages: English

↠ Inventory: Jax would be wearing his SAMCRO leather jacket and have his wallet with pictures of his kids, his wife Tara, his father and his mother. He also has a diary on him that he uses to write in on a regular basis.

↠ What is Your Character's Sin?:

Jax identifies most strongly with lust. Everything he does - be it changing SAMCRO's main criminal endeavor from arms dealing to brothels or fighting to keep his wife out of SAMCRO's business is out of a desire to have everything. He acts impulsively, doing things out of passion rather than out of careful thought, and often puts his own desires well above the desires of other people. He's selfish even when claiming he's being selfless; his desire to keep his kids away from the club and Charming is less out of love and more out of his own desire to be quit of an illegal life.

Jax, even while married to the love of his life, cheats. He spends his time with call girls and in brothels and he had a hand (and considerable money) in starting a large pornographic movie studio. While he isn't a drug user (and, in fact, is vehemently against it), he's definitely someone who isn't above exploiting others and using a warm body for the here and now. He can love (e.g. his children, Tara) but it's difficult for him to understand the difference between true love and impulsive lust. Jax sabotages every relationship he's in because it's simply in his nature to do so. He picks fights because he wants to, he manipulates club politics less out of a desire to seize power and more to just see if he can do it. Lust is a family affair, too - Jax's father had a child out of an extramarital affair even though he was deeply in love with Gemma, Jax's mother.

SAMPLES


Jax is fucking done with this shit. There's no fountain to welcome him this time, no burning in his lungs and sputtering for air but he can tell he's just woken up in another one of these fucking places that are cut off from the rest of the world and dump people out like they have nothing better to do than farm or build houses or shit like that. He's not into that life. He hadn't been into it in the damn village (even if some of the company was nice) and he's not going to be into it here. He's actually so done with it that he looks up at the sky, lets out a nice stream of curses, and waits a beat to see if it has any effect. It doesn't.

The place he's in looks like the worst brothel he's ever seen combined with every Chinatown he's ever had the misfortune of gracing. Jax isn't particularly well-traveled (he's seen most of California and he's seen all of that goddamn village with its stupid livestock and houses with leaky roofs and constant need for repairs) but he's been to LA and San Francisco enough times to be familiar with the general Chinatown setup. This is a nice approximation of it, red lanterns and low lights, and he wonders when he's going to see prostitutes working the corners. Jax has been with call girls and porn girls but he's never fucked a streetwalker before; it's not something he's looking to add to the collection.

He walks for a while until the decor changes and he doesn't have any more answers than he did before. When he gets to a different neighborhood, one that looks a little more respectable than the shit he showed up in, he snags a passerby's sleeve and barks out a question. No way to find out where the fuck he is unless he asks and he's not going to be shy about asking. Besides, being nice didn't get him anywhere the last fucking time he wound up stuck for a year so he's not going to start now. Might as well just get to the point.

"Where the fuck is this place and who's in charge of it?"
