okay i know i went really hard with my other bio but this is mostly the same information and i'm still figuring jack out so here's the tldr HBFHGFHDBSHBH
— he was born a wizard, and the firstborn of his family! jasper was born two years later, and they grew up in new york, going to school in massachussetts once they're old enough to attend a wizarding school.
— when he's 17 and jasper is 15, they lose their father in a freak accident with a lot of mysterious circumstances that the family never quite came to terms with. during this time, jack really stepped up and took care of his younger brother and their grieving mother. when he's 18, he opts not to go to college, and instead works straight out of school.
— that works, for a long while. until it doesn't. such is life, you know? he gets bit by a werewolf when hes 20, and it changes everything; but not as much as when during his first full moon, his little brother follows him. unable to tell who he is in his frenzied form, he bit him, unintentionally transferring his curse and burden.
— the guilt, and the fear of himself, was too much for jack to bear. jasper moves out to chicago like he'd been planning, and jack doesn't know where to turn until his childhood friend — iska — offers him a job and home in pocheon. hoping to get some semblance of normalcy in such a supernatural-heavy town, he moves there; careful to keep his affliction a secret, mind his business, and do his job.
— for the past 2 and a half years, he's simply been locking himself down for full moons, haunted by the memory of how close he came to killing his brother; he doesn't acknowledge it if possible at all, and the handful of times that locking down wasn't enough, he's just increased his restraints and doubled the amount of wolfbane taken.
— in september, he got a call as jasper's emergency contact; his brother had overdosed, and he rushed to london. the guilt for leaving him to deal with this on his own is almost as loud as the guilt for the bite itself, but he brings him here to pocheon in some effort to get him real help. ( he's surprised, however, to learn how much better jasper is at controlling it. but that's a story for another day. )
disclaimer. same as for jasper, i used hp werewolves as a base model, but i'm pulling from a lot of lore and mixing and matching !
— he heals a bit faster than ordinary humans.
— as a wizard/werewolf, he still has magic!
— he has no control over what he's doing as a werewolf, and transforms only during full moons. his strength, speed, etc, all match with standard werewolf expectations.
zodiac — capricorn.
alignment — neutral good.
mbti — infj, the advocate.
aesthetics — dark eyes, misaligned photo frame, a camera shutter, radio static, dripping ink, foggy windows, unfinished poems in half-used notebooks, the moon peaking out between the clouds, trembling hands, doodles on the margin of the paper.
pre-established. jack has lived in pocheon for three years. he's kept to himself a lot, but there's a lot of room for plotting! if anyone's interested in the following plots, lmk.
— close friends.
— exes.
— one-sided crush. either end !
— confidant.
