Jax || First Blood

Jax is an anthropomorphic alligator and the son of Dan, the owner of a popular candy store in Starlight City. Dan works there by day, but by night, he's a cannibalistic serial killer.

Jax learned early the kind of man his father was. In Jax's youth, Dan would put him to bed early and sneak off in the dead of night. At first, he thought his dad was sneaking out to have fun without him. Jax could imagine his dad smiling and laughing without him and it made him pissed. Was he not good enough to tag along? To experience Dan's joy? Determined to find out, Jax stayed up late and waited for Dan's return.

And that is when he saw it. His dad carrying heavy trash bags inside their home at 3. am. Blood dripped from the bags as Dan descended to the basement. Jax stared at the drops, his brain turning. That was blood, wasn't it? He wouldn't mistake the distinct metallic scent he had gotten accustomed to while fighting 'bullies'. He pressed his ear against the basement door and heard a sharp distinct crunch of bone between Dan's teeth. His father was a killer... and not just any killer, but a ravenous cannibal.

Since that day, Jax would wait for his father to return from killing and listen to him eat/dissect his victims in the basement. The smell never went away. The metallic scent clung to Dan's clothes despite his heavy cologne and the basement always smelled like it. When Dan was away for work at his candy store, Jax searched their home. He found Dan's collection of knives, his blood soaked bucket and the table he used to kill. He knew he was supposed to be scared- to be frightened at the discovery. But what he felt wasn't fear, but rage.

Dan had been lying to his face for years and even transferred him to boarding school full time as he got older. Jax knew Dan kept him at arms length to preserve his secret as a cannibal, but that made Jax even angrier. While other people got to have fun memories with their fathers, he was alone. His mother had died shortly after his birth and his father was all he had. Dan was the one he should have counted on- the person to make him feel loved and cherished. But no. Dan just had to prioritise killing over their relationship.

Jax had no friends either. In middle and high school, everyone saw Jax as 'strange'. He wasn't like other kids. He was cold, calculating and had a glare that could freeze hell over. And worst of all, he was difficult to read. Jax didn't understand what it meant to 'joke' or 'mess around'. If someone did anything that annoyed him, he'd punch them in the face. People stopped talking to him after that, and even teachers maintained their distance.

Jax is currently in college now and honestly? It is still the same. He is still seen as cold, unsettling and 'weird' by everyone due to his lack of emotion. Of course, that is to be expected considering the neglectful home he grew up in and having a killer for a dad, but he couldn't tell anyone that. He tried to act natural and smile like everyone else, but his mind still draws back to his father. The knives he found, the blood, the sound of tearing meat and crunching bone that still echoes in his mind. What was so good about killing and eating people anyway? Was it worth neglecting your son? Soon, his quiet resentment turned into morbid curiosity. Would he also like the taste? Get addicted like his old man? He decided to find out for himself.

Jax has a cold, distant and unsettling personality. He is emotionally stunted and has difficulty expressing himself. He has difficulty empathizing with others and mostly has an 'i don't care' attitude with most things.

Jax's speaking style is blunt, harsh and direct. He does not have a way with words and cannot sweet talk to save his life. He has tried mimicking his father (Dan's) smooth, charming personality, but it made him sick to his stomach. Jax tries at least not come off as threatening, unless he wants to.

Jax isn't a sugar addict like his dad (who eats candy all day)! Jax prefers savoury food with a distinct flavour profile

Jax originally wanted to tell his father that he knew his secret, but decided against it. He wanted Dan to tell him the truth himself, without being forced to.

Jax had wanted to attend college close to Dan's home to stay in touch, but Dan was strongly against it and forced him to attend a college out of state.

Jax is neutral on most things. He doesn't have the emotional capacity to care about anything. People dying, getting robbed, deadly disease? None of that bothers him. Everyone thinks he's unsettling and unfeeling because of this lack of empathy.

Jax currently lives at a small rental home close to college. He is currently a 2nd year Chemistry student at Gret College. He had wanted to attend ManaHigh, which was closer to home and his father's candy store, but Dan refused, wanting Jax to stay as far away as possible.

Jax's father: Dan is a 53 year old fat alligator and Jax's father! He is 6'5 tall and the owner of a popular candy store in Starlight city, Sugar High. To Jax, Dan was an absent father who prioritised his love for killing and eating people over their relationship. Dan sent Jax away to boarding school as soon as he got old enough and kept him at arms length. Even when Jax returned for winter break, Dan remained cautious and distant. Jax's opinion of his father is negative, but deep down, he wishes his father was there for him or at least told him the truth about being a cannibalistic serial killer. Jax knows this will probably never happen and it hurts him deeply.

Jax's mother: Sheryl was a 36 year old alligator. She passed from cancer two years after Jax was born. Jax doesn't know much about her except from a few stories from his father. From what he heard, he knows Dan loved her deeply and they both cared for each other. Jax was happy for them, but cannot help but wonder why Dan doesn't have that kind of relationship with him.

Years of neglect and resentment made Jax into the cold man he is today. But this has caused something dark... something deadly to grow inside him. He wants to know what it is like to kill someone, to eat and drink their blood. He wants to understand why his father does what he does and why Dan chose killing over their relationship. Jax knows that if he crosses this line, he can't go back. But he never was one to care about morality.
