Jack Skellington // Thirty-One // Cursed Human // Novelist
Having no recollection of a life before Evermore has made Jack wonder, many many times, how the curious little town of magic works. Why does he not remember? Who knows the truth? Why do others that arenโt him remember their lives? And, why are they stuck? No matter how many times Jack has studied, tested hypotheses, etcโฆ he cannot for the life of him stick his finger on the answer. It drives him a bit mad sometimes, locked away in his bedroom with a drawing board with strings going every which way, but he hasnโt let it take control of him. Not yet.ย
He is the most particular type of man. About what he eats or wears. He prefers sweet to savory and classy to casual. Heโs the most organized unorganized person you will ever meet. Whereโs his favorite fountain pen? Lodged between his thesaurus and overread favorite novel on the shelf of his nightstand. His clothes are organized, but not by color because itโs mostly neutrals or shades of black. He keeps all of his writing utensils in one spot, but doesnโt separate black from red ink pens. His garbage and recycles are separate, but he couldnโt remember garbage pick up day if his life depended on it. So, he tries but heโs always been a bit chaotic on the inside.ย
Autumn has always been his favorite time of year and for some reason Halloween is a huge deal to him. (Of course he loves Christmas time as well, but Halloween will always have that special place inside of his heart.) He goes all out for the holiday. He spends months planning his costumes and the last weekend of September decorating. He knows Zane and Sal donโt mind and they always join in on the fun.ย
Horror is his favorite genre and he indulges in all things spooky and scary. Games, movies, shows, books, etcโฆ His favorite of each has a horror element to them all. He also enjoys scaring people and is damn good at it. Heโs got a real knack for startling people out of nowhere and going a bit far sometimes with his frightening tactics. He wouldnโt necessarily call himself a prankster because most of his antics are harmless, but there are times he goes that extra mile.
Heโs not a bad person. That doesnโt mean heโs wholly good either though. Heโs made mistakes, just like everyone else, and sometimes they werenโt the greatest. Not necessarily the โlive and learnโ type but the โdwell on and regret.โ He drifts somewhere between good and morally gray, sometimes leaning more one way or the other. It depends on te day.
His relationship with his roommates/best friends are the best it could ever be. He adores both Saaliha and Zane with all his heart and would do quite literally anything for them. Heโs very loyal to those he cares about.ย
Heโs the type to find an interest, hyperfixate on it for a month, then forget about it and move on to another. Itโs a vicious cycle until heโs come full circle and is back to square one with the first interest that he found. His curious nature is always making him explore new avenues.
Jack is very obsessive. When he loves something he goes all out. He has a huge bookshelf with half of them organized by the author, but is far too antsy and unorganized to finish the project. Even the novel heโs been trying to write for ages. He canโt find that perfect puzzle piece to get it just right. He wants to write a successful book with suspense and thrills, but he always goes back to his dreams about the strange town beyond the forest with scary monsters and mischievous little devil children and writes about that instead. Some days he wonders if he should just give up on his dream and write some elaborate fantasy story about that town, but he doesnโt want to be a sellout either. If there were just some way to perfectly combine the two then Jack would be able to pull it off.ย
A very charismatic man that has not dated in far too long. Heโs very charming and polite, but when it comes to hookup culture heโs cautious. He indulges sometimes, but itโs not a regular habit. Itโs rare he brings someone back to his apartment, out of respect for Saaliha and Zane. In all honesty despite his charms and such he isnโt really looking for a relationship. Heโs far too focused and caught up in his own troubles like writing his novel while trying to make a living ghostwriting, or figuring out his own dreams.ย
He carries a messenger bag everywhere he goes with his laptop, notebook, and various other small things he might need but has never really used. Sometimes he forgets his wallet though.ย
Jack is sometimes quick to anger but the last to ever raise his voice. Heโs an enthusiastic person so sometimes he does yell, but for a good cause! He doesnโt ever scream at people, and on the rare occasion he does itโs for a damn good reason.ย
