personality:
DRUNK-
Without a doubt, Jackson is probably one of the most idiotic drunks in Vegas. He's drink about 90% of the time and hardly remembers what he did the night before. Being drunk gets him into all kinds of trouble. Trouble with lawyers, fat guys who want to pummel him, his ex-wife, etc. He'll probably end up dead somewhere if he doesn't clear up his act.
GIDDY-
Sober or not sober, Jackson is giddy. He likes to laugh, lives to smile, and enjoys being a kid at heart. He can mature up quickly, for the sake of his kids, but he's usually being a child himself. No, he's not mentally ill. That's just how he is.
SHORT TEMPERED-
When he's not being giddy, he's cussing someone out or punching someone's face in. The littlest insult can set him off. He's very sensitive. He's insanely destructive in this mode. He hasn't killed anyone...yet.
SEXY-
Jack is just plain freaking sexy! Everything about him is pretty sexy. From his drunken slurred Australian accent, to the way he cocks that left eyebrow upwards. My god.
PROTECTIVE-
He's very protective of his friends, mostly his lady friends. Once you've got Jack as a friend, he won't be letting go until you do. He'll step in front of a bullet for you. He'll keep you in his arms, if that means keeping you safe.
WEIRD-
Jackson Charles Knight is just plain weird. He'll do random things to get your attention. It can be jumping up and down repeatedly or it can be flicking you in the head over and over. Whatever gets your attention, he'll do it. Jackie's weird, get used to it.
DAREDEVIL-
He'll pretty much take on every dare, not every single dare though. He'll make out with another man, dive off of a cliff, sniff cocaine, fuck your mother. Yeah...he'll do pretty much anything you dare him too. You have to get him riled up first. Drunk and angry is the mood he has to be in before he will do a dare.
fears: Jack claims he has no fears, but he does. He terrified of bridges. He'll freeze up and stubbornly refuse to cross them. Docks are technically bridges, so Jack refuses to stand on them.
He's also scared of being alone and being shunned. He loves people and loves interacting with him. Even though he is drunk most of the time, he tries to do his best not to let anything get ouf ohand that will make people shun him.
secrets: Jackson's father, Jerome, disgraced the family by engaging in sexual intercourse with his own wife's sister. Out of regret, Jerome committed suicide and his wife moved to another town in Australia to start over. Jackson is the only one who remembers. He had been the only child present during his father's confession.
Jack had one short-lasting affair in high school with one of his teachers and he was brokenhearted when she left him. He doesn't tell anyone this, mostly because he drinks too much to remember.
goals:Jackson's goal in life is to die in his native land, Australia. He began his life there and hopes to end it there someday in the far future.

history: Jackson Charles Knight's tale begins in Sydney, Australia on August 17, 1974. He was born right at home with his aunt being the midwife. After three miscarriages, Ellen Knight had finally given birth to a healthy, sweet baby. She treasured Jackson and kept him close to her as much as possible.
Jackson, however, felt rather lonely. He didn't have an older sibling to look up too. His older cousin, Monica, took in the roll as the "big sister" for Jack. She adored the little boy, since she was an only child as well.
Ellen and Mark were blessed again two years after Jackson was born. Another boy was brought into the world at another home birth. Aaron Douglas Knight was a very chubby baby. Mark called them 'Buddah Baby' while two-year-old Jackson called him 'FFAATTT.' The boys became best friends, and enjoyed playing outside with their tomboy cousin Monica.
Two years later, a difficult pregnancy and pre-labor sent Ellen to the hospital for the first time. Premature twin boys were delievered by c-section. Kaden and Jerry had low heartrates, but both made it through and easily gained weight and was released from the hospital and into the arms of their parents and big brothers.
Ellen's health was slowly fading. Her fifth pregnancy, not even a year later, nearly ended her life. She slowly recovered and by the time Jenna was six months old, Ellen's health and energy level was back.
Jackson was just entering his teen years when tragedy hit. Mark made a very big mistake. He slept with his sister-in-law. Jack was only thirteen when he came across his father admitting to Ellen what he had done. Ellen was betrayed and asked Mark to leave. Jack had run to his father's hotel room two months later, only to find him hanging from the balcony with a noose around his neck. He had regretted hurting Ellen and had taken his own life. The tragedy left an emotional scar on young Jack's heart. He rebelled and ran from home many times.
Monica helped him through the tough time and they began high school together.
At the age of sixteen, Jack fell in love with his music teacher and they eventually began to have an affair. She left him for someone her own age, leaving Jack to suffer with a young, broken heart. He took up drinking and became addicted to it. He met the beautiful Samantha Baxter in his senior year and fell in love immediately. Sam was a freshman, however, when they began dating. Jack knew he was going to marry this girl one day, and waited until she reached the age of eighteen. He did marry her and they had their first child a year later. Kylie Rose. The Australian immigrated to the United States. In San Francisco, they had their second child.
Jack's addiction to alcohol and Sam's addiction to bossing people around caused their marriage to become rocky. Jack left his wife and moved to Las Vegas. He gained joint custody of the children and they visit him often.
