NAME: Jack Kline
CANON: Supernatural
AGE: Technically, Jack is 3 years old, however, he accelerated his aging physically and mentally seconds after birth and basically came into the world as, effectively, a 17(ish) year old. It's canon he was cognizant and learning from his mother while he was in the womb as well, so Jack's a bit weird about age, but he possesses the mental acuity and maturity of someone around 18-21. I mean, dude drinks beer and kills people and was a war hero in the apocalypse. But if this isn't cool with age limit rules, that's absolutely understandable o7
CANON POINT: 15x13 Spoilers:Directly after popping back onto Earth from Eden
HISTORY: Link
PERSONALITY: In the beginning, Jack was driven to prove to those around him that he deserves a chance at life, that he isn't a criminal for existing (living with Dean constantly reminding him that he should be executed for what he is), and that he is worthy by virtue of his character, but it becomes more than just his want to live freely. Because of the influence of his mother (Kelly), Castiel, and Sam & Dean Winchester, Jack gains a genuine conviction to strive towards kindness, compassion and magnanimous acts, to the point of wanting to help complete strangers with his powers, even just to help them stop being so afraid of a nightmare. He wants to make sure his mother's sacrifice wasn't in vain, and he wants to believe that the terrifying power he has can make this world better. Through the world he’d seen from the backseat of the Impala when the Winchesters took him hunting, the people he’d met (even helped to save), the sacrifice and love a complete stranger can give to another in a time of dire need, he’d come to idolize these men raising him, and the woman he learned about life and love from before he was born.
Castiel was probably the first father figure for Jack, as he technically met him before he was born, through Kelly, in utero, and granted him power to protect the both of them before Kelly gave birth. According to Kelly (and Jack), Jack chose Castiel to be his father. He’s aware (upon birth) that Lucifer is his biological father, but through Kelly and their bond while she was pregnant, learned he would need to reject Lucifer, thus claiming Castiel as his father. Unfortunately, Castiel wasn’t there after Jack was born, and Sam would be the first one to physically take up that mantle as father with him. He’s nurturing, kind, sits with Jack and talks to him like a human, gives him advice and encouragement, teaches him about the world and people. Sam goes so far as protecting him from Dean, who’d wanted to kill Jack for the first few weeks or months he’s with the brothers. Still, despite how hard on him and hostile Dean is, Jack still strived to be liked by him, to show Dean that he could help, that he wants to try, that he can be good. Eventually, when Dean becomes more of a father figure, he becomes someone Jack can truly believe “you are not a monster” from. It’s as if Dean is now a litmus test for Jack, as it’s Dean that finally comes to execute him later, when he’s soulless, and Jack accepts it from him. Castiel’s role is much like Sam’s, in that he’s nurturing and protective, and he tends to teach Jack more about human life versus angel life, about how to relate to these people and why they’re beautiful and also why they are impermanent. Jack learns a lot of his love for humanity from Castiel. While Jack calls these men by their names when he’s talking to them, he refers to all three of them as his “dads” to strangers, while Sam, Dean and Castiel have regularly called Jack “our kid” and “son” before.
Beyond the influence of his found family, Jack’s heritage has had a massive impact on how he’s developed. Before he took his first breath, the whole universe already knew, this child is Lucifer’s son. He’s a Nephilim, he’s going to become horrifyingly dangerous. There has been a law in heaven that Nephilim are not allowed to exist, as they grow into a power that can destroy entire worlds. That power has not been easy for Jack to live with growing up, nor has that title - son of Lucifer. Most people that meet Jack knowing what he is automatically dislike him on that principle alone. Many, many people have tried to use Jack for his power, and succeeded in a few cases. This doesn’t seem to stop Jack from wanting to trust first and question later, though perhaps he’ll get better about that as he gets older.
Jack is terrified of being alone, being unloved, and having no place he belongs, and his greatest fear is that he’ll be the one to cause it. He's afraid of what evil might be inside him, and the prospect of being unable to choose being a better person. He's conflicted in that he's both afraid of his potential and the damage he can do, and wants to strive towards mastering his abilities to do whatever amazing things his mother was convinced he would. Sadly, this nightmare becomes reality for Jack, after he burns off his soul to save Sam, Dean and Castiel, showing the boys how much he’s picked up from their chronically (stupidly) self-sacrificing nature. Jack, alive, with all of the power and none of the pure soul behind it, is a catastrophic disaster that culminates in the death of Sam and Dean’s mother, among several others. Having only just regained his soul at this canon point, it’ll be interesting to see how he deals with that in relation to other characters in game.
Jack's typical disposition is a breath of fresh air - bright, optimistic, loving, childlike, but also blunt and socially inept with new people, despite how hard he tries. Jack's fascinated with the world and people around him, with anything from Scooby Doo to the secret prize hidden in cereal boxes. Part of it is because Jack's seeing a lot of this for the first time, still in awe of the world around him, but his life up to this point hasn't been without darkness. He's been hunted by monsters, demons and angels, tortured, lost in an apocalypse world, died twice, lost and regained his soul, and so many other things, and yet, he still sees people at their best, even the ones that are cruel to him at first. He has a talent for reading people, and an instinct for empathy that makes him far too trusting for safety.
Still, bright and positive as Jack tends to be more often than not, he was raised by Sam and Dean Winchester, and there are times he’ll get sassy or sharp with one of his dads, or Mary or Rowena. He can be petty, sarcastic, grouchy and dramatic, just like the boys. One of the really fun things about watching these series regulars that have been around 10+ years trying to raise a new life together is that you see it reflected in Jack’s behavior. He’s very much the little duckling, and is constantly watching them for cues. The self-sacrifice, the white lies to protect our loved ones, the extreme loyalty, the commitment to protecting and saving people, even just the excitement he has about being a hunter and doing the small things, like pretending to be an FBI agent, or learning how to pick a lock, hack a security system, research lore. Jack’s learned his principles from them - the family business: hunting people, saving things, family doesn’t end in blood and doesn’t start their either, you can’t save everyone but you have to try, always keep fighting, always get back up, and every day you’re alive is a new day that you can do better than you did before.
Jack learns extremely quickly, and is repeatedly shown to mimic the behaviors of others around him (in the way that children do), as such, this leaves him incredibly vulnerable to manipulation, which tends to happen to him, a lot. He's openly loving, compassionate, naive and trusting. Until recently, waking up from all that he did while soulless, Jack didn’t fully comprehend consequences and the complexity of emotions, his own or others. Self reflection is a thing he's working on, but Jack's still developing it. Before his time soulless (and especially during), Jack was still reacting petulantly to things that upset him without realizing the immaturity of it, like being told he had to stay home from a hunt and reacting by having a minor fit and getting ready to run away from home. This is likely to change drastically, now that Jack’s regained his soul and taken on the guilt of all the harm he did and deaths he caused, giving him a much more stark and sobering lesson on consequences, but that will develop while he’s in game, or as he canon updates. He’s likely to be stuck in the trauma of it all abruptly coming down on him for a while, but perhaps having his regular powers taken and replaced with a healing ability can help him come to peace with it easier.
While he might not be a great physical combatant of a hunter, Jack has an ability to reason out things, often solving puzzling spells or figuring out riddles quicker than the other three boys do. There’s a certain emotional intelligence in him that’s far beyond even a 20 year old, like the ease of acceptance he has of death, either from terminal illness, or someone executing him for being a monster. He’ll focus on the value of remaining time spent with family, and what love you show them. There’s a grace to him in that. Both times Jack’s faced death, he’s come to a sort of quiet just before it, in which he tried to do what was right (even soulless) and make peace with Sam and Dean before he left. Despite how socially dumb he seems to be, once Jack’s keyed in on someone’s emotional state, it’s easy for him to connect with people, if they can get past all his lack of communicative grace.
Powerful as he may be, Jack’s not without plenty of weaknesses. He’s naive, inexperienced, gullible, reckless, impulsive, with terrible foresight. Even if he is Team Free Will 2.0’s heavy hitter, Jack can often be their biggest problem, seeing as they very much have to babysit him. Sometimes this fool just wanders off in the middle of a questioning. I mean, he’s a child. Well, he’s a moody teenager, and he can be very sensitive, emotional, full of abandonment issues and probably a daddy complex. Like any adolescent, he’s needy. You have to feed those things, entertain them, tell them they’re loved and wanted, give them affirmation, make them eat vegetables. Thankfully, between the three of them, the boys seem to do a pretty okay job at it. Even if they let him live on burgers, booze, and coffee.
Heroic deeds and stories have Jack getting starry-eyed, heavily invested in concepts like the Jedi in Star Wars, and fighting off zombies. He dreams of being a hero to people around him and receives joy in helping others. Both Castiel and Kelly often said Jack would do 'amazing things' in the world, and between that expectation, and his fear of following Lucifer's blood in him, Jack's incredibly hard on himself. He can be a bit of an adrenaline junkie at times, but he's also still a kid full of a lot of energy and not a lot of common sense. Jack may be quick in solving puzzles and coming up with clever solutions, but he's still deeply naive, too trusting, and too open in a world where a lot of people would do a lot of bad things to him to take advantage of his power.
CRAU: N/A
SPECIES: Nephilim (half human, half archangel. For the most part, Jack's body looks and operates as human, though he does technically have "wings", they're more of an ethereal than physical thing (you only ever see the shadow of them in canon, never the actual wings). Things like his durability and strength have been shown in canon to disappear when his 'Grace', the thing that gives him powers, is gone, so I'm going to assume he doesn't keep the extra durability/strength boosts in Meadowlark either.
APPEARANCE: Link
SKILLS:
NEW POWER: Healing minor wounds, which I'd like to eventually evolve into maybe a biokinesis kind of thing, I don't know, have to see how development goes, but for the smallest, most limited version of it, Jack will touch a person's skin (and probably trigger the empathy bond) next to their wound, and a gold light will radiate from the injury, gradually fusing skin back together and healing the wound without a scar. No growing back limbs, no curing the blind, no stopping heart attacks. It's just a surface wound kind of thing right now, if that works for you guys.
For making it more unique, Jack gets very sick in canon when he's without his Grace, or when he's used too much power and doesn't have enough left to keep his body glued together (it's a Nephilim thing, they're delicate), so maybe if Jack wants to try to heal more extensive wounds, he can push it, but the cost makes him sick like the grace sickness did? Which means he'd be coughing up blood, fainting/collapsing, having difficulty breathing, and having seizures. Another option is maybe it can be a mental thing as well, like healing mental trauma or calming people having panic attacks? Idk, I'm open to suggestions, but let me know if none of this stuff really works for the game o7 OR, I could work off his wings thing, because he's the only angelic character shown to use his wings like a shield rather than just for teleporting/transportation, so maybe he could make barriers / defensive shield things? Waves arms in air??
POWER REASONING: Jack's only ever wanted to help and protect people, and found himself thwarted from that goal by his own destructive abilities and how easily activated they could be. There's been a lot of pain and death caused by him and his powers, and Jack would be coming into the game fresh from regaining his soul, looking back on the worst that he's done with actual conscience now, so this is going to be even more crushing for him. I thought replacing those destructive powers with something as straight-forward and helpful as simple healing would make striving for redemption a little easier on him.

APPEARANCE: Link
SKILLS:
Hunting: Monsters/angels/supernatural things, and fish, i guess. Could probably say he knows somethings about tracking, since it's part of the Hunter tool kit, but we haven't seen that in action.
Combat(ish): Jack's had about a year or two of hand to hand combat training, but he's still preeetty bad at it. Better than your average civilian, but not winning any tournaments. However, he does know how to knife/machete fight well enough to decapitate a dude once, so that's cool.
Magic Lore: Jack grew up inside the epicenter of supernatural lore and research, the Men of Letters bunker where the Winchesters live, and spent a lot of time on his own there. During the time he was powerless in canon, it seemed like Jack did better with magic and spells than he did trying to box demons.
Monster/Supernatural Lore: He'd been taught since he was days or weeks old about how to dig through old tomes looking for what kind of monster you're fighting and how to kill it. The boys are shown giving him pop quizzes on supernatural and monster lore as well.
Computing competency: Jack's probably not as good as Sam is, but he's been shown monitoring security footage they aren't supposed to have access to and generally being in front of laptops often.
Lock Picking/B & E: Jack taught himself how to pick locks on the internet. Also, private property means nothing to a Winchester.
Fast Learner: In canon so far, even when without his powers, Jack tends to pick up skills, at least knowledge based ones, very quickly. Physical stuff, like boxing, not so much, as he's still a little Bambi, but magic, computers, lock picking, hunting, research, all of that stuff he picks up within days or weeks, the other characters typically expressing some kind of surprise at him learning it quickly. He isn't a child prodigy or anything, but he doesn't need a whole lot of teaching before he can grasp a concept and start to extrapolate on it himself.
NEW POWER: Healing minor wounds, which I'd like to eventually evolve into maybe a biokinesis kind of thing, I don't know, have to see how development goes, but for the smallest, most limited version of it, Jack will touch a person's skin (and probably trigger the empathy bond) next to their wound, and a gold light will radiate from the injury, gradually fusing skin back together and healing the wound without a scar.
