Backstory Edit
*Original backstory had Jax’s uncle as an abusive figure that he killed after being pushed too far.
Jackson’s mother, Jess dies during childbirth. (His father is not present at the time. Being a mob boss is kinda draining work I guess and he’s a bet busy.) Jess’s brother was there at the time and took over parental guardianship of his nephew. Knowing that Jackson’s father (Amadeus) is a corrupt and evil man. He runs away with the child in order to protect him.
Jackson in turn has a normal childhood. (This differs from the original). Even if it is in poverty. His Uncle is a loving father figure who kept the memory of his sister alive. Jax meets Bonnie, Donnie and Mike while they’re all children.
When he turns 18, his Father’s gang (The Dry Bones? They wear skeleton designs on their masks) tracks him and his uncle down and comes after them. A few men come into their home and attack them. Jackson tries to defend his uncle, getting in the way and getting a bit beat up himself. One of the gang members cuts his face deeply with a knife (resulting in his scar.)
His uncle dies in front of him and he tries to get out his name but can only get out “Jacks”. This becomes what he actually goes by. (This is the same as before)
He escapes his father’s gang. He’s beaten up, and emotionally vulnerable. Which is why it’s the PERFECT time to meet “Reaper”. The demon that Jax meets while taking a short break from running at the local park. They talk as he sits on the swing set and Reaper convinces him that he must get revenge for his uncle. He takes the deal and lets in the “Demon”.
Jax and Reaper are now bonded but “Reaper” has more control at this point due to Jax’s inability to get a hold of his emotions. He tracks down one of the gangs hideouts and slaughters around 7-10 men. All while wearing one of the gang’s masks. He’s dubbed at the last guy as “The Reaper” or “Red Reaper”.
