-Basic Information-
Name: Jak Halcom
Age: 19
Birthday (Month/Day): 1/11
Blood Type: O
RP Sample (Optional): [Insert Here]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: 6'0"/190lbs
Physical Description:
Jak Halcom could be seen as the typical street fighter. The muscles on his arms and legs are fairly large and toned to perfection. His abbes are chiseled with a hard six pack under his tanned skin which made him look rather intimidating with his six foot frame. Jak carries himself proudly. His back straight, chest out, and his stride long but casual. He always seemed like he is in a perpetual bad mood, but past that he was a handsome guy.
His hair is pitch black. The longest he let it go is down just past his ears. He keeps the front part of his hair spiked up and back so that it wouldn't get in his face and distract him. A thin layer of scruff covered his jaw and chin giving him a slight shadow. His facial features were strong and handsome. His nose was still straight despite the fights he often got into. No scars were visible on his face. Though there is a large one going up his back from a quincy attack. The oddest features on the young man was his eyes and ears. His ears were pointed slightly and angled back like an elf's from a fantasy book. His eyes however were a hellish red. They seem to burn as if the fires of hell itself radiated from within them. He either wore a cocky smile on his face when he was in a good mood, or he will look deadly serious almost angry when he is in the middle of a fight.
Normally when Jak is out in public, he will only wear a black vest over his bare chest keeping his chest and stomach exposed. He muscular arms are free since he doesn't have the patience for finding shirts that fit over his arms while staying comfortable. He wears a pair of worn, torn blue jeans. He has pants that are better, but they don't usually stay in that condition due to his training, job, and fights. He wears a pair of black, leather, finger less gloves with metal studs over the knuckles to protect his knuckles when he punches someone as well as make them hurt more. On the back of the gloves are two crossed roses. He wears a pair of blue and black sandals no matter what the weather conditions are.
When Jak is at a place to rest, an inn, hotel, home etc, He ditches his vest for a white under shirt, one of the only other things he could wear on his torso without ripping. He changes into a pair of comfortable shorts and tosses his sandals way to walk bare foot. He seems visibly more relaxed when he is out of the public realm. His gentle smile finally finds its way on his lips. The angry burning in his eyes softens to a simmer of content.
Like other Nakkabaki, Jak has a cursed limb. This happened to be his right arm. His right arm is more muscular than his normal left arm, and it is an deep red color. Heavy black chains wrap up his arm from his wrist to his shoulder. His right arm is hot to the touch heating up the chains around his arm.

-Personality-
Dislikes:
Shinigami - They were the ones that took his mother away from him. They killed her in cold blood like her life didn't matter. Now he sees all Shinigami in the same light and would attack one the second he sees one in pure anger.
Quincies - Like the Shinigami, they attacked him for apparently no reason. They claimed it was to eradicate all things evil in the world. They fired at him and gave him a nasty scare up his back.
Pushy Promoters/Agents - He has been tempted many times to sign with an agent or promoter to fight in the "big leagues". He has turned every one of them down to stay with his current master out of loyalty.
Arrogant Fighters - Though he can be a little cocky himself, he truly can't stand arrogant fighters. He always feels the need to put them in their place.
Mushy Food - He can't eat mushy food with the exception of things that are supposed to be that way like mashed potatoes. The texture just makes him gag the second he starts chewing.
Rap/Pop Music - He can't stand rap. The beat is fine by him, but the lyrics the rappers come up with appauls him. Pop has kind of the same problem, but sometimes he just downs't like the style in general.
Romance Books - He tried reading them, but he just could not get into them. He would get about half way through them and get bored because nothing happens. He doesn't see the point to them.
Snow - A little is fine, but he can't stand trying to move through the slushy stuff. It doesn't help that he is the one that shovels the stuff off the property.
Likes:
Fighting - Jak had always had a facination with martial arts, action movies, anything with good hand to hand combat in it. He practices some martial arts, but seems to resort to street fighting and brawling.
Flowers/Gardening - He grew up around him, and his mother taught him how to grow and care for them. They were always so beautiful.
Rock/Metal Music - He loves listening to rock and metal as he trains. Like most people, it gets him up and going as hard as he can.
Classical Music - He does like to listen to classical music when he is relaxing. His mother often played it before he went to sleep.
Fantasy Books - He seems to find a little of himself in the characters of fantasy books elves and demons in particular.
Working - Unlike most people his age, he likes to work and be kept busy. When he is not working, he tends to get into trouble and fights.
Singing - He likes to sing when he is working or training. His mother and himself would sing together while they were tending the garden.
Arrancars - He had ran into a few over the years, and they seemed more understanding than most other people. They have some common ground that makes them good company as far as Jak is concerned.
Meat - Jak is by every meaning of the word a carnivore. He loves meat and would have it in just about every way possible.
Fire - He has an odd fascination with fire. He can swear that when he puts a hand to a flame, it seems to react to him.
Flaws:
Mercy - Unless he is pushed to the point of pure blind rage, he will not finish off an opponent. His mother was a kind soul and valued all life that must have rubbed off on him.
Hot Temper - Jak has an incredible quick temper. He is easy to provoke into a fight and would often be blinded to any other thing besides the source of his anger.
Bluntness - He is incredibly blunt no matter with who he is talking to. This could make it seem that he does not care about other people and their feelings.
Loyalty - Jak can be incredibly loyal, so much so that he is loyal to a fault. When someone has gained his trust, he will not turn against them. Only when they directly do something against Jak will he cause him to fight against his allies.
Violence - When Jak is having a problem with a person for one reason or another, his first inclination is to fight. He will resort to using his fists first before his words.
Habits:
Stretching/Popping - Jak is always stretching or popping something when he is not busy with something. He likes to keep his body ready for action at any given moment.
Growling - When something starts to aggravate him, he growls lowly almost like an animal about to attack.
Singing - He sings whatever song is in his head while he does whatever task or training he is doing. If a fight is going incredibly well, he will even start singing during the fight some times aggravating his opponents.
Fears:
Losing his mother's flower shop - Jak helped his mother in the shop since we was a young boy and when she died, it was bought by an old martial artist. Jak was promised that if he trained under him and showed to be a good man as well as a good fighter, he would have the shop.
Losing to a Shinigami or Quincy - To him losing to either of these two groups would only mean certain death. To hide his fear he constantly trains so that he may one day avenge his mother. Of course he does not wish to die by any other means, but he would not be able to rest in peace if he was killed by either a Shinigami or a Quincy.
His Master - As much as he thinks his master as a father to him, he is the scariest thing to him above the Shinigami and Quincy. There seems to be something other worldly about him. He may not seem to be the strongest person around, but he has put Jak through several walls for his attitude alone, and he always looks so calm when doing it. He gets an odd feeling from him like he his hiding something from Jak.
Goals:
Gaining his mom's flower shop - It is something that he wants to keep in memory of his mother. He will do anything for the shop and defend it from punks.
Avenge his mother - He wants to kill the shinigami's that killed his mother. They took her life, it is only fair that he take theirs in exchange.
Hunting his Hunters - He wants revenge against the Quincies for their attempt on his life. If they tried to kill him once they would no doubt they would try again.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Aspect of Hell: Burning
Overall Personality:
At first glance, Jak seems to be just another thug from the streets who can only use violence to get what he wants. That may be true when he is out in public, but there are many different things that people don't see when they are around Jak. He is different when he is at home. He is different when he is around certain people. He is even different at his job. Underneath the anger, the rudeness, and any other unpleasantness, he is really a diamond in the ruff.
When he is out in public most of the time, he can be very rude and irritable. He keeps his brows furrowed and his face that can be described as deep in though at best, and pissed off at worst. He is wary of crowds knowing that those are great places for assassins to hide and strike when he is not prepared. When someone says something that he doesn't like, his first reaction is to glare at them with an intense death glare. If they continue they would eventually get a fist to the chin. When it is an authority figure that he rather not get into trouble with, he would comply though his opinions would be noted and his attitude sour at best.
When he is at the flower shop working with his master, he seems to be a completely different person. He is polite, and gentle, and in an overall good mood. When he is tending the flowers, he seems to be at absolute peace. A contented smile will spread on his lips and when he talks to people, he is very respectful and even kind and polite. He can still be pushed to anger while he is in the store, but the worst he will do there is forcefully remove the offender out of the store. The flower shop is the only place where he feels such peace and happiness. The memories of his mother are just that strong. When he is caring for the flowers, there is a certain gentleness that will not be seen anywhere else. He is dedicated to the flowers and treats them as if they were children under his care.
When he is training with his master, or just out in public with him, he is begrudgingly respectful. There were many a times where his master would kick the living crap out of him for being disrespectful to him, or other people while he was around. If there was one thing his master wanted to hammer in it was respect. He seemed to not care about Jak's attitude as long as he was respectful. Jak would occasionally smart off to him or insult someone and of course receive the beating for it. He usually is in his usual sour mood when in public, but his tongue is more restrained.
When he is at home he is when he is the most casual. It is only him and his memories here most of the time, and the few visitors that he does get he doesn't care if they are a little uncomfortable about his habits. He will crack jokes and be a normal teenager. It is also the only place where he will express his sorrow under normal circumstances. If a day had been extremely tough, or the memory of his mother was just too prominent in his thought, he would fall into his pillow and cry trying to get all the emotions out before he has to face the world again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style:
Jak's fighting style is pretty simple. When he is in his normal form against an unarmed opponent, he will try to act like the untrained street punk and fight wildly as he feels out his opponent. If he can keep his opponent on the defensive, he will keep being offensive throwing more and more into his attacks. If he can get a hold of his opponent, he would try to either pin them against something, or throw them to the ground where he can hammer at them while they have a hard time defending themselves. If they are more aggressive, he will fight smarter blocking and dodging his opponents strikes while looking for opening in their defenses to exploit.
When Jak is fighting someone with a sword, he has to take a more defensive approach. He will act more like a counter fighter dodging or parrying the striking weapon then fallowing it with a quick counter strike of his own. He will try to disarm his opponent only when he feels like he has a good chance of succeeding, he knows that the best way to stop an armed opponent is to knock him out. So when he counters, he will more than likely aim for his opponent head for a quick clean knock out, or aim for the arm to cause enough damage so they can't use it effectively.
He is not only capable of doing damage from close range, but long range as well. Thanks to the powers him mother passed down to him, he is able to launch blasts of energy similar to a bala and a cero. He can fire both types of attacks with the same general strengths and weaknesses of balas and ceros. He has some techniques where he can unleash multiple blasts and concentrating them on a single target or area, or he could focus all his energy into one power cero like attack to completely wipe his foe out of existence.
When Jak is in his Saisei Oni state, he becomes more of a berserker during the fight. He is willing to take hits in order to get close and deliver crushing blows or to burn his enemy. He seems to abandon most forms of stratagy charging straight for his target. While he charges, he will bombard his target with energy blasts until he is in range to strike. He will use the fire covering his body to cause burns as well as damage with his fist and blades.
Saisei Oni Overall Ability:
Jak's Saisei Oni ability causes flames to burst from his body covering him from the neck down in intense flames. He can then focus the flames to different parts of his body for different attacks or even alter his own movement. The flames can also be used for mid ranged attacks instead of solely for close range combat. When he his second form it appears that his body is covered in molten metal allowing him to cause even greater damage with the heat of his body alone.
Saisei Oni Appearance:
Jak grows another foot and his muscles expand giving him greater bulk. His skin turns an angry fire red from the intense heat that his body gives off. Black chain tattoos appear over his body forming an c across his shoulders, chest, and back. They also seemed to lace around his arms and legs. Speaking of arms, underneath his normal pair of arms, he grows a second pair. They are just as strong and dexterous as his normal arms but are unarmed with the exception of hardened skin over his knuckles and the back of his hands that is more to cause pain than protect his hands. His original hands are covered with a gauntlet like weapon with a four two foot katana like blades around his hands. Two horns grow from the back of his head wrapping around the sides of his head stopping an inch and a half from his cheeks.
Saisei Oni Primera Etapa Techniques:
Inferno Blades - The flames covering Jak's body is focused into the blades around his upper pair of arms. This increases the temperature of the flames significantly being focused in small areas. When the blade is touching another object, they will combust if combustible, or heat up super fast. Prolonged contact could cause his blades to melt metal and go through other swords. When his blades make contact with flesh, the blades will cause severe burns. The burns would be quite painful, but a 2 in pain tolerance will lessen the pain significantly as well as 2 in strength of will. The flames stay on the blades for two posts or can be released as a slash of fire (similar to tetsuga tencho).
Drawbacks - The fire on the blades can be rather distracting during the throng of combat. They may cause him to lose site of his opponent for a moment while in certain positions. Sparks will fly if the blades block or are blocked and could fly in Jak's face doing harm to him as well. When he launches the flames, their cutting power isn't as great as other techniques like it. It cause a moderate wound disregarding the burns, but nothing too bad. Other beings with tolerances to heat are not as affected by the fire and heat.
Phoenix Wings: Jak uses the flames on his body to form a large pair of bird like wings on his back made out of fire. Not only does this technique allow him to fly, but it also doubles the speed of a step technique. When the wings are in use, they will leave a trail of flames that will burn anyone that touches them. The trail is as wide as his wings which are four feet from his body to the tips. The strength of the fire is based on his reitsu strength.
Drawback: The wings last for three posts before dissipating and dropping Jak back onto the ground. When he is flying, his speed is reduced by 10%. The cost of the step technique is doubles as well as his speed.
Saisei Oni Segunda Etapa Techniques:
Inferno Blades+ - Instead of flames covering his blades, the blades will seem as if they are made of molten metal. They will stay in solid form, but seem to move slightly like lava. This increases the heat of the blades and makes it easier for him to cut through other material. The down side at this point is that not even Jak is immune from this heat. If he accidentally makes contact with his own body he will cause himself severe burns. His fire wave attack is also more powerful.
Poenix Wings+: The wings on his back expand in size so the trail he leaves is even bigger than before. Stretching out eight feet from his body allowing more area to be covered in flames. Now he is able to go 4 times as fast when using any step technique. On top of that, he gains the ability to rain down fire feathers onto his opponents. He can rain down twenty feathers down at once with the speed equal to his and as strong as his reitsu strength The duration increases to five posts.
Drawbacks: Each time Jak uses his fire feathers he shortens the duration of the wings by a single post not including the post he used it in. The cost of step tech is now twice as much. His with the greater wingspan he is slowed down by 20% while flying.
Pyro Geyser - A circle of fire suddenly encircles the target(s) before an eruption of flames shoots up from underneath them scorching them to the bone. The circle has a radius of 5 feet and the flames reach a height of 15 feet. the heat is so intense that it will sear flesh from bone if trapped in the area of effect for more than several seconds. the geyser of flames lasts for ten seconds then dies down leaving the area on the ground completely black. He can form a geyser anywhere around him up to 5 yards away.
Cost: 400 rietsu
Drawbacks - This one of of a few techniques that requires Jak to be still on top of hand moments. Jak's bottom set of hands form a circle with with his fingers and thumbs causing the ring of fire, and then with his top hand, Jak rolls his wrist clockwise till his hand is palm up. Then he pulls his fingers up initiating the geyser of flames. This technique requires a fair amount of concentration, so if anything causing him to break concentration or release his bottom set of hands the flames immediately disperse.
Suit of Blue Flame - Unlike Inferno Blades, flames cover Jak's entire body. The fire is so hot that instead of the "normal" red and yellow fire, the flames are blue. The fire covers his entire body with the exception of his head. This technique works the same as Inferno Blades only for his entire body. His hits causes burns and if he can grab someone, he could burn the flesh off their bones. The other difference from Inferno Blades, is that instead of being able to be unleashed in a wave like attack, it acts like a full blown flame thrower for about twenty seconds. The flames stretch out for ten feet and reach a maximum diameter of three feet. The flames stay active for 5 posts.
Drawbacks - After two posts, Jak's body starts getting burned from the intense heat of the flames. After the two posts he can no longer use techniques that require concentration. When he uses the flames as a flame thrower, he is unable to really move except turning like stationary turret. Besides the flame thrower, the effects of the fire really only are effective a few inches away from Jak's body.
Additional Powers:
Jak's mother was a mod soul with the ability to fire projectiles similar to a hallows cero and bala. In the more advanced stages, she is able to use multiple blasts of bolts and the beams attacks are even more powerful.
Level 1 Basic Spirit Bolt - This is just like a hallows bala. It is faster than the Spirit Cannon but doesn't hit as hard. It can move as fast as a pitchers fast ball and is ale to put a dent in most metals. The ball of energy is a deep red in color.
Cost - 50 reitsu
Level 2 Spirit Bolt Barrage - Jak can fire two dozen Spirit Bolts all at once, but instead of flying at the target once fired they will hover in midair until all are released before they all attack the target at once in a volley of energy bolts.
They have limited homing capabilities, each one able to move a few degrees to track the target. The bolts also hit harder now able to put holes through a few thick walls.
Drawbacks - This technique requires concentration for Jak to hold all the bolts in place then fire them in the right direction. If he is distracted before he is ready, all the previously set bolts will fly off in random directions.
Cost - 150 reitsu
Level 3 Homing Barrage - Jak's control over his spirits bolts have increased to the point where he can produce even more bolts at once. His total now increasing to forty-eight individual bolts. Their homing capabilities have also increased to the point where they can make gentle turn and pursue a target more accurately. The power of each blast has also increased slightly from the previous level.
Drawbacks - Like the previous level, this technique requires a lot of concentration. Though unlike the previous level, it requires so much that he has to remain stationary to control all the bolts with any kind of accuracy. If he breaks his concentration they will fly wildly in random directions or just detonation on the spot. This technique also takes a few seconds to set up with the sheer number of bolts.
Cost - 300 reitsu
Level 4 Spirit Beam - Unlike the Spirit Bolts which are individual balls of energy, the Spirit Beam is a concentrated beam of energy, of the same color, fired at a single point. It is very similar to a hallows cero in the fact that it is slower than the spirit bolts, but hit much harder. Even at this level, he can easily take down a building with a single blast. The blast can go as far as a foot ball field and is about one and a half feet wide. Only at this level can Jak still move around while charging the attack.
Drawbacks - It takes several seconds for Jak to gather the energy and then compress it in his hands. Once it is fired, he has no control over what the beam does. This technique and the upgraded versions of it can drain his stamina quickly in a fight if he uses it too much. This level will drain him the least of course.
Cost - 200 Reitsu
Level 5 Spirit Cannon - Its basically the spirit beam if it was over charged. The blast diameter increases to two an a half feet and the distance it can travel doubles. The impact power of the attack increase as well of course with the potential of taking out lines of buildings in one go.
Drawbacks - This attack charges slower than its previous level, and Jak must be stationary when he charging it. This technique drains him physically faster than the spirit beam meaning that he can only use it so many times before he is completely wiped out due to fatigue.
Cost - 400 Reitsu
Level 6 Flowers of Destruction - Flower made of spirit energy appear behind him three and a four feet in diameter. A maximum of two can be used at any one time. The flowers fire either a Spirit Beam or Spirit Cannon at Jak's will. Since they are fired from a different source, this allows Jak to stay mobile and fight independently of the flowers behind him. The flowers lock onto his opponents spirit energy. They move with Jak's moments until they fire.
Drawbacks - The stop in movement is a dead giveaway that they are about to fire. Since they are usually located behind Jak, it is possible for him to be struck by his own attack if he moves in the way. Also the severe strain on his body from the attack will leave him almost out of energy by the end of the technique and the fight.
Cost - 200 Reitsu to active + The cost of Spirit Beam or Spirit Cannon

-History-
Birthplace: Dallas, Texas, USA
Current Residence: A small dojo just outside Karakura Town
Memorable Figures: Kala Halcom, Master Koga, Mysterious Quincy and Shinigami
History:
Jak has always been a spirited boy growing up. When he was born, he did not cry like most newborns did. Instead, he just looked around as if he was getting his bearings. He smiled seeing his mother. He was like most other children except for his ears and eyes. The doctors could not explain why the child’s ears were pointed, or why his irises were a deep burning red. It baffled them, but his mother just smiled a kind smile like she always did holding her new son. They were discharged from the hospital a short time later, much earlier than most. That was to be expected of course she was a mod soul. She wasn't like other humans.
His mom was a gentle soul not one to concern herself with fighting or violence of any kind. She had long raven black hair that flowed down to her waist. Her bangs stopped around her slender eye brows, but a few strands would fall over her emerald green eyes. Her lips always seemed to be set in a smile. Her skin was slightly tanned thanks to her hours of gardening. Her arms and legs had a little muscle mass to them, but nothing noteworthy. Where ever she went Jak was right beside her. When he was two, she introduced Jak to gardening. She would walk him through the flowers that she planted in the back yard of their Dallas home. Every now and then,
Jak’s attention would be drawn away to a large shadowy figure, but would disappear before he would get a good look at it. It didn'tseem to bother him he would catch up to his mother to help her tend to some of the flowers.
When Jak was about six, his mom told him that they were moving. She didn’t really tell him where, but even at that age, he could hear the worry in her voice. They moved quickly telling none of their friends. For years they would never stay in one place for too long. They would rent an apartment and stay for a few months or a year at the most before moving again. This didn’t bother Jak like it would most kids. He was not really the social type and when he did make friends they were few. Jak would always get into these incidents where someone would say just the wrong thing to upset him. Most of the time it seemed that if someone insulted his mom he was set off the quickest. There was more than a few occasions where he had to be pulled off a student he was punching the day lights out off and escorted home by the police. In his early teens it got so bad that she started knowing all the cops in their small
towns by their first names.
It was when Jak was sixteen that they finally settled for good in Katakura town. She thought that it was a lovely town, but at this point Jak didn’t care about any of the towns like he once did in his youth. For some reason she had started to teach him her abilities which he kept secret from him. She explained to him that they were not human. She explained about the mod souls and how of the Shinigami. She told him how mod souls were made to fight hallows, but their creation was deemed unethical and were all to be destroyed. This angered Jak. He wanted to fight the Shinigami to protect her like she. She settled the impulsive young man down and held him tightly to her. She promised that she would always be there for him. She taught him how to focus his energy into balls a foot round. She made him promise that he was to never use this technique unless his life depended on it. Jak agreed.
Sadly Kala couldn’t keep her promise to Jak. One year later, a small group of Shinigami approached the small shop that Kala owned. Jak was out running errands and getting some things from the store for later that night. The Shinigami opened that door filing and fanning out so that she could not escape. She came back from the back carrying a bag of fertilizer to feed the plants. She knew who they were at first glance dropping the heavy bag to the ground. Without saying anything, the four Shinigami drew their blades charging the lone mod soul woman. Of course she was not completely helpless. Though she hated to kill and do harm onto others, she could not afford to hold back now. The commotion could be heard outside as flashes of pale blue light could be seen through the windows. In the end she managed to kill one and injure the other two, but one still managed to get too close plunging her blade into Kala’s breast. Once she was dead the Shinigami took their dead and wounded back to the soul society their mission completed.
Jak came back to the store and once he opened the door. Once he did, he dropped all the groceries that he was carrying in his strong arms. He ran to his mother holding her cold, limp body in his arms. He cried harder than he had ever cried in his life. Bystanders rushed in to try to help while the cops and ambulance were on their way. They tried to question Jak, but of course he didn’t know anything. They said that she was stabbed through the heart with a knife, most likely a robbery gone wrong. Beside his mom’s corpse was a piece of black cloth, but Jak knew it wasn't any ordinary black cloth. It was a piece of clothing from a Shinigami. This wouldn’t be the last time the cops would come to the small flower shop.
When the flower shop was bought to pay off their debts, Jak held himself in the shop determined that no one would have it. He would rather die than lose the legacy that his mother worked so hard to build. Nothing violent happened yet, but tensions were rising fast. The police were ready to storm the building when the new owner walked through the line of officers and cars. He was an old man rather small coming to Jak’s chest. His white beard was neatly trimmed. He wore a red Hawaiian shirt and a pair of swim trunks. It looked as if he had just come from the beach. He told the officers that it was alright and everything was under control. Before anyone could stop him, the old man, Koga, strolled casually to the door stopping just in front of it as Jak yelled for him to stop.
Jak was scared. He didn’t mean for things to go this far, but he also didn’t want to lose the shop. Koga seemed to sense Jak’s emotional fragile state and spoke softly through the door. He told the boy, that everything was alright. He was a friend of his mothers. Jak couldn't tell if he was lying or not. His mother never mentioned him, but then again there were many things that she did not tell him about. He said that he was not trying to take the shop away from him. He was here to help Jak and train him to be the man that Kala knew he could be. Koga was patient with the boy coaxing him out of the shop. He promised that he will give him a place to stay as well as the training to be a great fighter and man. Jak reluctantly agreed. He opened the door and walked out. He turned around to close the door, but before he could an arrow flew from somewhere in the back of the crowd striking him in the back. To the human’s they thought that someone had shot him and were scrambling to find the shooter. Jak and Koga both knew that it was no gunshot that almost killed Jak, but a Quincy arrow. A man in white walked past the two muttering a single sentence. All shadows must be eradicated.
Jak recovered from his attack though now has a nasty scar going up his back. Jak trained hard with the old man, who seemed to be a master of various martial arts. When Jak was not at home resting, or helping Koga with the shop, he was training. Sometimes fighting opponent after opponent, sometimes standing out in the elements, and sometimes just doing chores for his master like in the karate kid. Jak would then put what his training to the test out on the streets. He was looking for the Quincy that shot him, as well as patrolling the city for any more Shinigami. He would fight anyone and anything that challenged him. From street thugs to hallows, he did not care. He would continue to fight and grow stronger until he achieved both his goals. The first avenging his mother and killing the Shinigami that killed his mother, and killing the Quincy that attacked him and find out why.

-Basic Information-
Name: Jak Halcom
Age: 19
Birthday (Month/Day): 1/11
Blood Type: O
RP Sample (Optional): [Insert Here]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Appearance-
Height/Weight: 6'0"/190lbs
Physical Description:
Jak Halcom could be seen as the typical street fighter. The muscles on his arms and legs are fairly large and toned to perfection. His abbes are chiseled with a hard six pack under his tanned skin which made him look rather intimidating with his six foot frame. Jak carries himself proudly. His back straight, chest out, and his stride long but casual. He always seemed like he is in a perpetual bad mood, but past that he was a handsome guy.
His hair is pitch black. The longest he let it go is down just past his ears. He keeps the front part of his hair spiked up and back so that it wouldn't get in his face and distract him. A thin layer of scruff covered his jaw and chin giving him a slight shadow. His facial features were strong and handsome. His nose was still straight despite the fights he often got into. No scars were visible on his face. Though there is a large one going up his back from a quincy attack. The oddest features on the young man was his eyes and ears. His ears were pointed slightly and angled back like an elf's from a fantasy book. His eyes however were a hellish red. They seem to burn as if the fires of hell itself radiated from within them. He either wore a cocky smile on his face when he was in a good mood, or he will look deadly serious almost angry when he is in the middle of a fight.
Normally when Jak is out in public, he will only wear a black vest over his bare chest keeping his chest and stomach exposed. He muscular arms are free since he doesn't have the patience for finding shirts that fit over his arms while staying comfortable. He wears a pair of worn, torn blue jeans. He has pants that are better, but they don't usually stay in that condition due to his training, job, and fights. He wears a pair of black, leather, finger less gloves with metal studs over the knuckles to protect his knuckles when he punches someone as well as make them hurt more. On the back of the gloves are two crossed roses. He wears a pair of blue and black sandals no matter what the weather conditions are.
When Jak is at a place to rest, an inn, hotel, home etc, He ditches his vest for a white under shirt, one of the only other things he could wear on his torso without ripping. He changes into a pair of comfortable shorts and tosses his sandals way to walk bare foot. He seems visibly more relaxed when he is out of the public realm. His gentle smile finally finds its way on his lips. The angry burning in his eyes softens to a simmer of content.
Like other Nakkabaki, Jak has a cursed limb. This happened to be his right arm. His right arm is more muscular than his normal left arm, and it is an deep red color. Heavy black chains wrap up his arm from his wrist to his shoulder. His right arm is hot to the touch heating up the chains around his arm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Dislikes:
Shinigami - They were the ones that took his mother away from him. They killed her in cold blood like her life didn't matter. Now he sees all Shinigami in the same light and would attack one the second he sees one in pure anger.
Quincies - Like the Shinigami, they attacked him for apparently no reason. They claimed it was to eradicate all things evil in the world. They fired at him and gave him a nasty scare up his back.
Pushy Promoters/Agents - He has been tempted many times to sign with an agent or promoter to fight in the "big leagues". He has turned every one of them down to stay with his current master out of loyalty.
Arrogant Fighters - Though he can be a little cocky himself, he truly can't stand arrogant fighters. He always feels the need to put them in their place.
Mushy Food - He can't eat mushy food with the exception of things that are supposed to be that way like mashed potatoes. The texture just makes him gag the second he starts chewing.
Rap/Pop Music - He can't stand rap. The beat is fine by him, but the lyrics the rappers come up with appauls him. Pop has kind of the same problem, but sometimes he just downs't like the style in general.
Romance Books - He tried reading them, but he just could not get into them. He would get about half way through them and get bored because nothing happens. He doesn't see the point to them.
Snow - A little is fine, but he can't stand trying to move through the slushy stuff. It doesn't help that he is the one that shovels the stuff off the property.
Likes:
Fighting - Jak had always had a facination with martial arts, action movies, anything with good hand to hand combat in it. He practices some martial arts, but seems to resort to street fighting and brawling.
Flowers/Gardening - He grew up around him, and his mother taught him how to grow and care for them. They were always so beautiful.
Rock/Metal Music - He loves listening to rock and metal as he trains. Like most people, it gets him up and going as hard as he can.
Classical Music - He does like to listen to classical music when he is relaxing. His mother often played it before he went to sleep.
Fantasy Books - He seems to find a little of himself in the characters of fantasy books elves and demons in particular.
Working - Unlike most people his age, he likes to work and be kept busy. When he is not working, he tends to get into trouble and fights.
Singing - He likes to sing when he is working or training. His mother and himself would sing together while they were tending the garden.
Arrancars - He had ran into a few over the years, and they seemed more understanding than most other people. They have some common ground that makes them good company as far as Jak is concerned.
Meat - Jak is by every meaning of the word a carnivore. He loves meat and would have it in just about every way possible.
Fire - He has an odd fascination with fire. He can swear that when he puts a hand to a flame, it seems to react to him.
Flaws:
Mercy - Unless he is pushed to the point of pure blind rage, he will not finish off an opponent. His mother was a kind soul and valued all life that must have rubbed off on him.
Hot Temper - Jak has an incredible quick temper. He is easy to provoke into a fight and would often be blinded to any other thing besides the source of his anger.
Bluntness - He is incredibly blunt no matter with who he is talking to. This could make it seem that he does not care about other people and their feelings.
Loyalty - Jak can be incredibly loyal, so much so that he is loyal to a fault. When someone has gained his trust, he will not turn against them. Only when they directly do something against Jak will he cause him to fight against his allies.
Violence - When Jak is having a problem with a person for one reason or another, his first inclination is to fight. He will resort to using his fists first before his words.
Habits:
Stretching/Popping - Jak is always stretching or popping something when he is not busy with something. He likes to keep his body ready for action at any given moment.
Growling - When something starts to aggravate him, he growls lowly almost like an animal about to attack.
Singing - He sings whatever song is in his head while he does whatever task or training he is doing. If a fight is going incredibly well, he will even start singing during the fight some times aggravating his opponents.
Fears:
Losing his mother's flower shop - Jak helped his mother in the shop since we was a young boy and when she died, it was bought by an old martial artist. Jak was promised that if he trained under him and showed to be a good man as well as a good fighter, he would have the shop.
Losing to a Shinigami or Quincy - To him losing to either of these two groups would only mean certain death. To hide his fear he constantly trains so that he may one day avenge his mother. Of course he does not wish to die by any other means, but he would not be able to rest in peace if he was killed by either a Shinigami or a Quincy.
His Master - As much as he thinks his master as a father to him, he is the scariest thing to him above the Shinigami and Quincy. There seems to be something other worldly about him. He may not seem to be the strongest person around, but he has put Jak through several walls for his attitude alone, and he always looks so calm when doing it. He gets an odd feeling from him like he his hiding something from Jak.
Goals:
Gaining his mom's flower shop - It is something that he wants to keep in memory of his mother. He will do anything for the shop and defend it from punks.
Avenge his mother - He wants to kill the shinigami's that killed his mother. They took her life, it is only fair that he take theirs in exchange.
Hunting his Hunters - He wants revenge against the Quincies for their attempt on his life. If they tried to kill him once they would no doubt they would try again.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Aspect of Hell: Burning
Overall Personality:
At first glance, Jak seems to be just another thug from the streets who can only use violence to get what he wants. That may be true when he is out in public, but there are many different things that people don't see when they are around Jak. He is different when he is at home. He is different when he is around certain people. He is even different at his job. Underneath the anger, the rudeness, and any other unpleasantness, he is really a diamond in the ruff.
When he is out in public most of the time, he can be very rude and irritable. He keeps his brows furrowed and his face that can be described as deep in though at best, and pissed off at worst. He is wary of crowds knowing that those are great places for assassins to hide and strike when he is not prepared. When someone says something that he doesn't like, his first reaction is to glare at them with an intense death glare. If they continue they would eventually get a fist to the chin. When it is an authority figure that he rather not get into trouble with, he would comply though his opinions would be noted and his attitude sour at best.
When he is at the flower shop working with his master, he seems to be a completely different person. He is polite, and gentle, and in an overall good mood. When he is tending the flowers, he seems to be at absolute peace. A contented smile will spread on his lips and when he talks to people, he is very respectful and even kind and polite. He can still be pushed to anger while he is in the store, but the worst he will do there is forcefully remove the offender out of the store. The flower shop is the only place where he feels such peace and happiness. The memories of his mother are just that strong. When he is caring for the flowers, there is a certain gentleness that will not be seen anywhere else. He is dedicated to the flowers and treats them as if they were children under his care.
When he is training with his master, or just out in public with him, he is begrudgingly respectful. There were many a times where his master would kick the living crap out of him for being disrespectful to him, or other people while he was around. If there was one thing his master wanted to hammer in it was respect. He seemed to not care about Jak's attitude as long as he was respectful. Jak would occasionally smart off to him or insult someone and of course receive the beating for it. He usually is in his usual sour mood when in public, but his tongue is more restrained.
When he is at home he is when he is the most casual. It is only him and his memories here most of the time, and the few visitors that he does get he doesn't care if they are a little uncomfortable about his habits. He will crack jokes and be a normal teenager. It is also the only place where he will express his sorrow under normal circumstances. If a day had been extremely tough, or the memory of his mother was just too prominent in his thought, he would fall into his pillow and cry trying to get all the emotions out before he has to face the world again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Powers-
Fighting Style:
Jak's fighting style is pretty simple. When he is in his normal form against an unarmed opponent, he will try to act like the untrained street punk and fight wildly as he feels out his opponent. If he can keep his opponent on the defensive, he will keep being offensive throwing more and more into his attacks. If he can get a hold of his opponent, he would try to either pin them against something, or throw them to the ground where he can hammer at them while they have a hard time defending themselves. If they are more aggressive, he will fight smarter blocking and dodging his opponents strikes while looking for opening in their defenses to exploit.
When Jak is fighting someone with a sword, he has to take a more defensive approach. He will act more like a counter fighter dodging or parrying the striking weapon then fallowing it with a quick counter strike of his own. He will try to disarm his opponent only when he feels like he has a good chance of succeeding, he knows that the best way to stop an armed opponent is to knock him out. So when he counters, he will more than likely aim for his opponent head for a quick clean knock out, or aim for the arm to cause enough damage so they can't use it effectively.
He is not only capable of doing damage from close range, but long range as well. Thanks to the powers him mother passed down to him, he is able to launch blasts of energy similar to a bala and a cero. He can fire both types of attacks with the same general strengths and weaknesses of balas and ceros. He has some techniques where he can unleash multiple blasts and concentrating them on a single target or area, or he could focus all his energy into one power cero like attack to completely wipe his foe out of existence.
When Jak is in his Saisei Oni state, he becomes more of a berserker during the fight. He is willing to take hits in order to get close and deliver crushing blows or to burn his enemy. He seems to abandon most forms of stratagy charging straight for his target. While he charges, he will bombard his target with energy blasts until he is in range to strike. He will use the fire covering his body to cause burns as well as damage with his fist and blades.
Saisei Oni Overall Ability:
Jak's Saisei Oni ability causes flames to burst from his body covering him from the neck down in intense flames. He can then focus the flames to different parts of his body for different attacks or even alter his own movement. The flames can also be used for mid ranged attacks instead of solely for close range combat. When he his second form it appears that his body is covered in molten metal allowing him to cause even greater damage with the heat of his body alone.
Saisei Oni Appearance:
Jak grows another foot and his muscles expand giving him greater bulk. His skin turns an angry fire red from the intense heat that his body gives off. Black chain tattoos appear over his body forming an c across his shoulders, chest, and back. They also seemed to lace around his arms and legs. Speaking of arms, underneath his normal pair of arms, he grows a second pair. They are just as strong and dexterous as his normal arms but are unarmed with the exception of hardened skin over his knuckles and the back of his hands that is more to cause pain than protect his hands. His original hands are covered with a gauntlet like weapon with a four two foot katana like blades around his hands. Two horns grow from the back of his head wrapping around the sides of his head stopping an inch and a half from his cheeks.
Saisei Oni Primera Etapa Techniques:
Inferno Blades - The flames covering Jak's body is focused into the blades around his upper pair of arms. This increases the temperature of the flames significantly being focused in small areas. When the blade is touching another object, they will combust if combustible, or heat up super fast. Prolonged contact could cause his blades to melt metal and go through other swords. When his blades make contact with flesh, the blades will cause severe burns. The burns would be quite painful, but a 2 in pain tolerance will lessen the pain significantly as well as 2 in strength of will. The flames stay on the blades for two posts or can be released as a slash of fire (similar to tetsuga tencho).
Drawbacks - The fire on the blades can be rather distracting during the throng of combat. They may cause him to lose site of his opponent for a moment while in certain positions. Sparks will fly if the blades block or are blocked and could fly in Jak's face doing harm to him as well. When he launches the flames, their cutting power isn't as great as other techniques like it. It cause a moderate wound disregarding the burns, but nothing too bad. Other beings with tolerances to heat are not as affected by the fire and heat.
Phoenix Wings: Jak uses the flames on his body to form a large pair of bird like wings on his back made out of fire. Not only does this technique allow him to fly, but it also doubles the speed of a step technique. When the wings are in use, they will leave a trail of flames that will burn anyone that touches them. The trail is as wide as his wings which are four feet from his body to the tips. The strength of the fire is based on his reitsu strength.
Drawback: The wings last for three posts before dissipating and dropping Jak back onto the ground. When he is flying, his speed is reduced by 10%. The cost of the step technique is doubles as well as his speed.
Saisei Oni Segunda Etapa Techniques:
Inferno Blades+ - Instead of flames covering his blades, the blades will seem as if they are made of molten metal. They will stay in solid form, but seem to move slightly like lava. This increases the heat of the blades and makes it easier for him to cut through other material. The down side at this point is that not even Jak is immune from this heat. If he accidentally makes contact with his own body he will cause himself severe burns. His fire wave attack is also more powerful.
Poenix Wings+: The wings on his back expand in size so the trail he leaves is even bigger than before. Stretching out eight feet from his body allowing more area to be covered in flames. Now he is able to go 4 times as fast when using any step technique. On top of that, he gains the ability to rain down fire feathers onto his opponents. He can rain down twenty feathers down at once with the speed equal to his and as strong as his reitsu strength The duration increases to five posts.
Drawbacks: Each time Jak uses his fire feathers he shortens the duration of the wings by a single post not including the post he used it in. The cost of step tech is now twice as much. His with the greater wingspan he is slowed down by 20% while flying.
Pyro Geyser - A circle of fire suddenly encircles the target(s) before an eruption of flames shoots up from underneath them scorching them to the bone. The circle has a radius of 5 feet and the flames reach a height of 15 feet. the heat is so intense that it will sear flesh from bone if trapped in the area of effect for more than several seconds. the geyser of flames lasts for ten seconds then dies down leaving the area on the ground completely black. He can form a geyser anywhere around him up to 5 yards away.
Cost: 400 rietsu
Drawbacks - This one of of a few techniques that requires Jak to be still on top of hand moments. Jak's bottom set of hands form a circle with with his fingers and thumbs causing the ring of fire, and then with his top hand, Jak rolls his wrist clockwise till his hand is palm up. Then he pulls his fingers up initiating the geyser of flames. This technique requires a fair amount of concentration, so if anything causing him to break concentration or release his bottom set of hands the flames immediately disperse.
Suit of Blue Flame - Unlike Inferno Blades, flames cover Jak's entire body. The fire is so hot that instead of the "normal" red and yellow fire, the flames are blue. The fire covers his entire body with the exception of his head. This technique works the same as Inferno Blades only for his entire body. His hits causes burns and if he can grab someone, he could burn the flesh off their bones. The other difference from Inferno Blades, is that instead of being able to be unleashed in a wave like attack, it acts like a full blown flame thrower for about twenty seconds. The flames stretch out for ten feet and reach a maximum diameter of three feet. The flames stay active for 5 posts.
Drawbacks - After two posts, Jak's body starts getting burned from the intense heat of the flames. After the two posts he can no longer use techniques that require concentration. When he uses the flames as a flame thrower, he is unable to really move except turning like stationary turret. Besides the flame thrower, the effects of the fire really only are effective a few inches away from Jak's body.
Additional Powers:
Jak's mother was a mod soul with the ability to fire projectiles similar to a hallows cero and bala. In the more advanced stages, she is able to use multiple blasts of bolts and the beams attacks are even more powerful.
Level 1 Basic Spirit Bolt - This is just like a hallows bala. It is faster than the Spirit Cannon but doesn't hit as hard. It can move as fast as a pitchers fast ball and is ale to put a dent in most metals. The ball of energy is a deep red in color.
Cost - 50 reitsu
Level 2 Spirit Bolt Barrage - Jak can fire two dozen Spirit Bolts all at once, but instead of flying at the target once fired they will hover in midair until all are released before they all attack the target at once in a volley of energy bolts.
They have limited homing capabilities, each one able to move a few degrees to track the target. The bolts also hit harder now able to put holes through a few thick walls.
Drawbacks - This technique requires concentration for Jak to hold all the bolts in place then fire them in the right direction. If he is distracted before he is ready, all the previously set bolts will fly off in random directions.
Cost - 150 reitsu
Level 3 Homing Barrage - Jak's control over his spirits bolts have increased to the point where he can produce even more bolts at once. His total now increasing to forty-eight individual bolts. Their homing capabilities have also increased to the point where they can make gentle turn and pursue a target more accurately. The power of each blast has also increased slightly from the previous level.
Drawbacks - Like the previous level, this technique requires a lot of concentration. Though unlike the previous level, it requires so much that he has to remain stationary to control all the bolts with any kind of accuracy. If he breaks his concentration they will fly wildly in random directions or just detonation on the spot. This technique also takes a few seconds to set up with the sheer number of bolts.
Cost - 300 reitsu
Level 4 Spirit Beam - Unlike the Spirit Bolts which are individual balls of energy, the Spirit Beam is a concentrated beam of energy, of the same color, fired at a single point. It is very similar to a hallows cero in the fact that it is slower than the spirit bolts, but hit much harder. Even at this level, he can easily take down a building with a single blast. The blast can go as far as a foot ball field and is about one and a half feet wide. Only at this level can Jak still move around while charging the attack.
Drawbacks - It takes several seconds for Jak to gather the energy and then compress it in his hands. Once it is fired, he has no control over what the beam does. This technique and the upgraded versions of it can drain his stamina quickly in a fight if he uses it too much. This level will drain him the least of course.
Cost - 200 Reitsu
Level 5 Spirit Cannon - Its basically the spirit beam if it was over charged. The blast diameter increases to two an a half feet and the distance it can travel doubles. The impact power of the attack increase as well of course with the potential of taking out lines of buildings in one go.
Drawbacks - This attack charges slower than its previous level, and Jak must be stationary when he charging it. This technique drains him physically faster than the spirit beam meaning that he can only use it so many times before he is completely wiped out due to fatigue.
Cost - 400 Reitsu
Level 6 Flowers of Destruction - Flower made of spirit energy appear behind him three and a four feet in diameter. A maximum of two can be used at any one time. The flowers fire either a Spirit Beam or Spirit Cannon at Jak's will. Since they are fired from a different source, this allows Jak to stay mobile and fight independently of the flowers behind him. The flowers lock onto his opponents spirit energy. They move with Jak's moments until they fire.
Drawbacks - The stop in movement is a dead giveaway that they are about to fire. Since they are usually located behind Jak, it is possible for him to be struck by his own attack if he moves in the way. Also the severe strain on his body from the attack will leave him almost out of energy by the end of the technique and the fight.
Cost - 200 Reitsu to active + The cost of Spirit Beam or Spirit Cannon

-History-
Birthplace: Dallas, Texas, USA
Current Residence: A small dojo just outside Karakura Town
Memorable Figures: Kala Halcom, Master Koga, Mysterious Quincy and Shinigami
History:
Jak has always been a spirited boy growing up. When he was born, he did not cry like most newborns did. Instead, he just looked around as if he was getting his bearings. He smiled seeing his mother. He was like most other children except for his ears and eyes. The doctors could not explain why the child’s ears were pointed, or why his irises were a deep burning red. It baffled them, but his mother just smiled a kind smile like she always did holding her new son. They were discharged from the hospital a short time later, much earlier than most. That was to be expected of course she was a mod soul. She wasn't like other humans.
His mom was a gentle soul not one to concern herself with fighting or violence of any kind. She had long raven black hair that flowed down to her waist. Her bangs stopped around her slender eye brows, but a few strands would fall over her emerald green eyes. Her lips always seemed to be set in a smile. Her skin was slightly tanned thanks to her hours of gardening. Her arms and legs had a little muscle mass to them, but nothing noteworthy. Where ever she went Jak was right beside her. When he was two, she introduced Jak to gardening. She would walk him through the flowers that she planted in the back yard of their Dallas home. Every now and then,
Jak’s attention would be drawn away to a large shadowy figure, but would disappear before he would get a good look at it. It didn'tseem to bother him he would catch up to his mother to help her tend to some of the flowers.
When Jak was about six, his mom told him that they were moving. She didn’t really tell him where, but even at that age, he could hear the worry in her voice. They moved quickly telling none of their friends. For years they would never stay in one place for too long. They would rent an apartment and stay for a few months or a year at the most before moving again. This didn’t bother Jak like it would most kids. He was not really the social type and when he did make friends they were few. Jak would always get into these incidents where someone would say just the wrong thing to upset him. Most of the time it seemed that if someone insulted his mom he was set off the quickest. There was more than a few occasions where he had to be pulled off a student he was punching the day lights out off and escorted home by the police. In his early teens it got so bad that she started knowing all the cops in their small
towns by their first names.
It was when Jak was sixteen that they finally settled for good in Katakura town. She thought that it was a lovely town, but at this point Jak didn’t care about any of the towns like he once did in his youth. For some reason she had started to teach him her abilities which he kept secret from him. She explained to him that they were not human. She explained about the mod souls and how of the Shinigami. She told him how mod souls were made to fight hallows, but their creation was deemed unethical and were all to be destroyed. This angered Jak. He wanted to fight the Shinigami to protect her like she. She settled the impulsive young man down and held him tightly to her. She promised that she would always be there for him. She taught him how to focus his energy into balls a foot round. She made him promise that he was to never use this technique unless his life depended on it. Jak agreed.
Sadly Kala couldn’t keep her promise to Jak. One year later, a small group of Shinigami approached the small shop that Kala owned. Jak was out running errands and getting some things from the store for later that night. The Shinigami opened that door filing and fanning out so that she could not escape. She came back from the back carrying a bag of fertilizer to feed the plants. She knew who they were at first glance dropping the heavy bag to the ground. Without saying anything, the four Shinigami drew their blades charging the lone mod soul woman. Of course she was not completely helpless. Though she hated to kill and do harm onto others, she could not afford to hold back now. The commotion could be heard outside as flashes of pale blue light could be seen through the windows. In the end she managed to kill one and injure the other two, but one still managed to get too close plunging her blade into Kala’s breast. Once she was dead the Shinigami took their dead and wounded back to the soul society their mission completed.
Jak came back to the store and once he opened the door. Once he did, he dropped all the groceries that he was carrying in his strong arms. He ran to his mother holding her cold, limp body in his arms. He cried harder than he had ever cried in his life. Bystanders rushed in to try to help while the cops and ambulance were on their way. They tried to question Jak, but of course he didn’t know anything. They said that she was stabbed through the heart with a knife, most likely a robbery gone wrong. Beside his mom’s corpse was a piece of black cloth, but Jak knew it wasn't any ordinary black cloth. It was a piece of clothing from a Shinigami. This wouldn’t be the last time the cops would come to the small flower shop.
When the flower shop was bought to pay off their debts, Jak held himself in the shop determined that no one would have it. He would rather die than lose the legacy that his mother worked so hard to build. Nothing violent happened yet, but tensions were rising fast. The police were ready to storm the building when the new owner walked through the line of officers and cars. He was an old man rather small coming to Jak’s chest. His white beard was neatly trimmed. He wore a red Hawaiian shirt and a pair of swim trunks. It looked as if he had just come from the beach. He told the officers that it was alright and everything was under control. Before anyone could stop him, the old man, Koga, strolled casually to the door stopping just in front of it as Jak yelled for him to stop.
Jak was scared. He didn’t mean for things to go this far, but he also didn’t want to lose the shop. Koga seemed to sense Jak’s emotional fragile state and spoke softly through the door. He told the boy, that everything was alright. He was a friend of his mothers. Jak couldn't tell if he was lying or not. His mother never mentioned him, but then again there were many things that she did not tell him about. He said that he was not trying to take the shop away from him. He was here to help Jak and train him to be the man that Kala knew he could be. Koga was patient with the boy coaxing him out of the shop. He promised that he will give him a place to stay as well as the training to be a great fighter and man. Jak reluctantly agreed. He opened the door and walked out. He turned around to close the door, but before he could an arrow flew from somewhere in the back of the crowd striking him in the back. To the human’s they thought that someone had shot him and were scrambling to find the shooter. Jak and Koga both knew that it was no gunshot that almost killed Jak, but a Quincy arrow. A man in white walked past the two muttering a single sentence. All shadows must be eradicated.
Jak recovered from his attack though now has a nasty scar going up his back. Jak trained hard with the old man, who seemed to be a master of various martial arts. When Jak was not at home resting, or helping Koga with the shop, he was training. Sometimes fighting opponent after opponent, sometimes standing out in the elements, and sometimes just doing chores for his master like in the karate kid. Jak would then put what his training to the test out on the streets. He was looking for the Quincy that shot him, as well as patrolling the city for any more Shinigami. He would fight anyone and anything that challenged him. From street thugs to hallows, he did not care. He would continue to fight and grow stronger until he achieved both his goals. The first avenging his mother and killing the Shinigami that killed his mother, and killing the Quincy that attacked him and find out why.
