Jackson Morris
nicknames: Jack, Sonny, Morrison
age: 15
grade: freshman at Salem High
birthday: June 27 2000
birthplace: Portland, OR
birthchart
appearance: Standing fairly short at 5'4, Jack weighs at an average of 110 lbs. His weight fluctuates often, since he's prone to depriving himself of food. His dark blonde hair is straight and stringy, unkempt most of the time. He couldn't care less about fixing it or looking 'presentable'. Jack has a round face and boyish features, which he contrasts with his default cold expression to keep from looking too approachable. His eyes are an interesting brown especially in the sunlight, but he has an aversion to eye contact so this is often not noticed.
personality: Jack doesn't like people and he makes that much obvious. He is standoffish and harsh in his criticisms, quick to call out someone if they catch his judgmental eye. He is sarcastic and nihilistic, his sense of humor dark and inappropriate. His outer shell is so hard to crack that no one has ever persisted, including his adoptive parents. Still, Jack enjoys life provided it is in solitude, since he's never come across someone who he could actually stand to be around for longer than five minutes.

He was about to turn 9 years old when he was finally adopted out, the new child of a stern but compassionate religious couple from California with two adopted children already. But he wasn't going to call either of them brother or sister - mom or dad. Those words meant nothing to Jack anyway, just like the word family. He just treated them with the same detached manner as the nuns, like an inferior tenant under the rule of a landlord. At least he had his own room and could be alone without being berated for it. The weather of his new home state wasn't anything to scoff at either. He enjoyed that a lot.
Right away he began grade school, struggling throughout the years with almost every subject presented to him. Nothing interested him and the pleas from his teachers and adoptive parents only made him want to disappear. What would good grades do anyway? It was a miracle they passed him through, providing that in high school he be monitored on his progress and be put in only remedial courses until it was established that he was on the same level as his peers. Jack couldn't give two shits about the whole deal, until his adoptive parents sat him down for a talk the night before school started. They promised him that if he passed through his freshman year that they would give him a car. That kind of incentive set off bells in his head. He would, for the first time in his life have a freedom of his very own. Jack agreed, hoping that the pressure of high school wasn't all it'd been cracked up to be.
