Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2018-05-11 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER: Jack Frost
CANON: Rise of the Guardians


AU NAME: Jackson "Jack" Overland
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: High school student

BLURB:

Born in Burgess, Pennsylvania but raised in Recolle when his mother died. Jackson lived with just his dad and his little sister. He adored his sister and always had a good relationship with his dad. Jack was also often the neighborhood prankster, but never anything serious. Jack was always the kid who seemed to be friends with everyone, eagerly playing with anyone who wanted to. He often got a good laugh from people as that's what he always aimed for, often roping his sister into it. Speaking of his sister, Jack often hung out with her and helped her with her ice skating practices as they were often taking turns at the rink. Jack got really into hockey around the end of elementary school and to help her learn her moves, he learned with her, already having quite the control of the ice.

However, that all came tragically to an end around the end of eighth grade when a car accident injured Jack (his knee had twisted) but killed his sister. He stopped playing hockey then and stopped with the pranks. When he was in high school, while he wasn't quite a loner or unfriendly, he was fairly quiet. He kept to his studies instead, although he never outright stopped hanging out with his friends and, as the months went by, his grieving was able to come to an end. By the end of tenth grade, Jack was able to smile a bit more and, with some nudging from his father, decided to take up hockey once more. During the summer, he practiced and worked to get back into the groove of the game and soon tried out for the Recolle High School Varsity team, making it in during Junior year and by Senior year, he was the star player. Of course, with Senior year came the questions of what he wanted to do with himself by the time college came around.

Continue playing or put the stick down for good and work toward something out? Well, it seemed the question was answered for him soon enough. When the town turned white and no colors were visible, Jack had been trying to find his way home when he tripped and fell onto the street, badly injuring his knee that had already been weakened from the car accident. Of course his luck would be that he spends the last month of school in a cast and crutches! But, Jack decided to take this as a sign. He would use the summer to figure out what he wanted to do and, should his injury heal well enough that he can make the physical therapy work with his schedule, he would apply for the fall semester. But, if he had to wait until Spring, he didn't mind. Jack would make this work.

On a physical note, Jack will be a brunette (of course) and have heterochromia, one blue eye and one brown eye.

Obviously, once the layers are restored and people went back to NPC status, Jack won't remember how he got injured (aside from tripping, obviously) until he gets onto the app and will remember again (assuming that can happen, of course!). Will add more below as this is all from his WIP application :>!

LOOKING FOR: Friends, mostly. Wouldn't mind a dad character actually being his dad if anyone wants to go that route. Aside from that, mostly friendly CR, although I'm not opposed to negative CR either.

[Amanda here, player of FFVII's Genesis Rhapsodos/Genesis O'Reilly! I know this is my third time putting Jack here so... third time's the charm? As always, feel free to poke me on plurk as well if you'd like! [plurk.com profile] lineandcolor]

If you'd like, Varian can be a slightly younger friend of Jack's? Depending on when exactly the accident happened for Jack, they might have been in school together at the time, and it might have even been around the time Varian lost his father. So I could see that leading to friendship? I could also see Varian teasing Jack gently about having played hockey/looking to play again, in a, "wow, you jocks" kind of way. Yeah, Varian is very much a science nerd.

Jack will really befriend anyone, doesn't really matter the age :3

That would definitely work, yes!

HI DAD. Which reminds me, want Jack to have the last name of Coulson instead of Overland? Or maybe he just takes after their mom's last name idk? I don't mind either way!
avengeme: (Default)

[personal profile] avengeme 2018-05-11 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
... god the worst thought of Jack going with the mom's name after the accident. Or more likely mom wore the pants in the household. (He's the fun dad)

What about a stand-in big brother figure?
frostedoverland: (❄️ 5)

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2018-05-11 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack isn't really looking for a big brother figure BUT HE'S ALL ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS with anyone regardless of age.

That being said, Zack is free to just. Big bro it up anyway. Jack isn't going to protest either way LMAO
heroofdreams: (boop)

[personal profile] heroofdreams 2018-05-11 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He can do friends! With not so subtle big bro-ing!

He can teach him craft stuff too, if he'd be interested. :3

Jesus, I think I accidentally stole your backstory. >_>;

Still, two former star youth hockey players having their careers derailed in their late teens by leg injuries? They'll have plenty to talk about, at least, and since Sara's teaching at Recolle High, she'll probably go out of her way to do that, just because she's been in his shoes before.
frostedoverland: (❄️ 31)

[personal profile] frostedoverland 2018-05-11 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
XD that's hilarious honestly but it works!

I wouldn't mind that, although Jack is of graduating age so he won't be in school long before he's trying to do college but I mean, he could totally be friends with her and maybe still talk to her and stuff during the summer?

Could always change *when* the injury occurred to, as another option.

Well, she'll have been a sub throughout his senior year, so the timelines just do line up, so we can at least say that's how they met. And yeah, she's absolutely the sort of teacher to keep in touch with students after graduation, especially if she's invested in seeing them succeed.
dreamedoftomorrow: (♫ 14)

[personal profile] dreamedoftomorrow 2018-05-11 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Good!! That definitely works then. The current event going on just makes it easier for Jack to receive his injury and it being right on the cusp of graduation, he'll need the assist.
