Hey everybody, and welcome to the Handsome Jackpot, an askblog featuring the Opportunity AU, made by yours truly--and a few friends. The Opportunity AU is an alternate universe where Jack is not as shitty as he is canonly, and has a life after Rhys rips out the ECHO-eye at the end of Tales. I made this AU because I really liked Jack’s character, but I seriously hate all of his actions in the games and just want canon Jack dead. So I took the good aspects of him, emphasized them, and made him into a person that can be redeemed, given time. His past is not as screwy as canon, and he has not done all the terrible things he does in the games. Note that because this is an askblog for an AU version of Jack, I do not approve of canon Jack. He’s a shitbag, and I wouldn’t want to actively roleplay and write a character like that, despite the fact he’s one of my favorite villains. There is also absolutely NO RH//ACK. I just wanna make that clear right here. If you have any questions about the AU, feel free to DM me or send an ask! Please read the rules before sending in an ask! My activity is sporadic due to my personal life, but I do answer asks for Jack with both art and writing whenever I can! If I haven’t answered your ask yet, I’m most definitely saving it for later, don’t worry! Eventually, you will be able to ask other characters questions as well... :) Links: OPPORTUNITY AU | RULES & ASK INFO | AU PLAYLIST

Yikes. People are fucking weird.

i'll answer this out of character. yeah, i'm not fond of asks that are descriptive like this. i don't know how they want me to feel, or how they want me to respond. plus, if jack WAS a real person, i think he'd also be kinda weirded out by like. yknow. some stranger saying that to him? someone he doesnt know? idk. i just dont think ppl should get comfortable sending stuff like that, but im not just gonna delete it. you send it, it's getting shown to the world, lol. anyway yeah, tldr: i'm a dude behind a blog, you don't know me, i'm just playing a character for fun. if you want to tell me how you imagine sleeping with the character at night (even innocently), please just refrain

[handsome-jackpot]

Can you just...reboot the little wrist thing? Turn it on and off again

let’s hope he turns it back on to listen to you guys for another 3 years

What did Timothy look like before the surgery? Do you remember?

> J: Haha, we fixed that sight though! And that squeaky voice… Jeeze.

[handsome-jackpot]

Do you have a last name or is all your paper work signed “Jack, Handsome”?

[handsome-jackpot]

What's your favorite Terran/Earth animal? I'm sure someone keeps some of those around still.

> J: I had one named Princess and one named Bandit Killer back when I was alive.

[handsome-jackpot]

Sometimes when I’m having trouble sleeping, I imagine you coming home after a long day, us cuddling in bed while you lay your head on my chest and rub small circle into your back and absentmindedly ruin your perfect hair by gently running my fingers through it while reading, and we both stay there, quiet and content, until we both fall asleep hold each other

> J: Yeah, uh… I mean good for you. I guess.

[handsome-jackpot]

Folks have one of the most infamous men where they can ask him any question and they will decide to ask the dumbest ones, figures.

J: THANK YOU. You, fellow user of the ECHO-net, are someone who totally gets it. These questions are so dumb! Why not ask me about, like, I dunno, business deals that went wrong? Plants I created from spare DNA? Literally, anything cooler than, ‘oh what’s your favorite color’, or, ‘haha jack you’re so weird lolz haha xdxd’, like, what am I supposed to say?! I appreciate the concern.

[handsome-jackpot]

Rank colours from your favourite to least favourite

J: I--I don’t know? I like yellow, and I’m not a fan of red. I don’t really, have much care for any other colors? Blue is cool, I guess? Maybe purple? I don’t think about it that much.

[handsome-jackpot]

How would you react to finding out Angel had a hidden boy/girlfriend?

J: I’d be extremely confused as to how I didn’t know about it, but uh, probably supportive. I don’t see why she wouldn’t have been able to have one--I mean, blocking that would’ve been pretty cruel of me I think, so I’m fine with the idea of it.

[handsome-jackpot]

I’m shitting on your chair and there’s nothing you can do about it >:)

J: I don’t even think it exists anymore? Helios kinda crashed and, like, everything inside of it basically disintegrated and fell apart. So, uh. I don’t know what you’re sitting on, but uh, it ain’t mine. 

[handsome-jackpot]

Opinions on zombies?

J: I mean, interesting concept, at the very least.

[handsome-jackpot]

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

J: Ha ha! Another classic reference. Cool.

[handsome-jackpot]

Are you handsome jack?

sheyla i swear to god

[handsome-jackpot]

Fuck!

> J: Look at this cool image.
