Jax Peerce/Rik Tharand: Best Friends Each Secretly Think Of The Other As Sidekick
jax x zena
otp / brotp / notp
OUR CHAOS CHILDREN Ā
Ok, so I didnāt highlight any of the above bc somehow????? theyāre???? all???? three!!!! and none???? at the same time??!!??!!!???? Ā And thatās mostly bc Zena has some major!!!!!!! issues!!!!!!!! Ā And I mean obv Jax has some too (but heās half quasar can you blame him i mean look how his literal bros turned out heās the sanE one) but rn just gonna talk about Zena. Ā
Soā¦I lowkey think Zena is kind of aromantic orā¦at leastā¦would like to be. Ā (She may not ~actually be tho????? Ā Iām not sure????? Ā Sheās not sure????) Ā Sheās terrified of connection like sheād loooove to push everyone away sheās SUPER angry sheād love to push everyone away and roll her eyes and never give a single fuck about another human being EVER so literally any ship sheās screaming NO bc she doesnāt want that. Ā Sheās afraid.
Also, atp, even if the Quasars were overthrown and the galaxy was restored to peace, sheād probs be likeĀ āummm, no?????ā and not want to settle down or get married or anything bc she knows how easily that can end and be torn away and she canāt!!!! deal!!!!!! so she might āāāhang outāāāĀ w someone for the rest of her life hahaha but thatās about the level of commitment she wants to admit to??????? Ā Mostly she just wants to destroy, sheās not ready to build, yknow???????
So that stuff lowkey goes for any potential ship Zena might have atm. Ā I meanā¦who knows she could grow and change but atm this is where she is and idk if I see her changing or not???????
Ok, so more specifically about ~Jax/Zena~ I see so much alternately happening here potentially!!!!! Ā But the things I think would definitely happen: major!!!! banter!!!! Ā I see them totally bickering constantly and like it might??? be??? lowkey??? flirting???? but Zena would NEVER admit that and sheād CONSTANTLY roll her eyes and be like āwtfā and ānoā constantly and yknow sheās just super personable like that ;DDDDD Ā But sheād also totally appreciate his style like living on the run in eternal impermanence? being a pirate? blowing shit up? fucking w the empire? that sounds like Zenaās vers of heaven honestly!!!!! Ā
Once/if she finds out heās a quasar tho, she might LITERALLY decide to kill him which would obv put a damper on things but that might depend on where they are atp in developing a rapport bc if theyāre really tight friends sheād joke CONSTANTLY about killing him (AFTER her initial panic attack/freak out is over w bc that would def happen regardless) but wouldnāt actually do it. Ā BUT if theyāre basically strangers she would literally make at least one attempt on his life but again even if they ~were friends she wouldnāt want to admit their friendship???????? Ā Or caring????
Obv if she tries to kill them right off the bat, I can see them developing issues!!! Ā I mean, idk about Jax, but I wouldnāt be too keen on someone who literally decided to murder me for something I couldnāt help (and most likely did! not! want!) but if not, I can see them developing a real friendship iF heās cool w someone referring to him as an idiot and mocking him and rolling her eyes at him all????? the???? time????? Ā I mean, I think it could eventually become playful or even affectionate if they had time to bond over weird adventures or whatever but yknow
And it is from this direction I can possibly see them getting together, despite her being like no!!!!!!!!!! as long as she doesnāt get freaked out by some ~label~ too soon bc I can see them developing a rapport and from there a friendship and from there anything bc I can see there being an element of attraction, too, there and things going that way as a result. Ā And they actually do have imo a lot in common in terms of what they seem to want out of life and actually care about, etc. (even tho both of them pretend not to care about thingsā¦yeahā¦idkā¦)
So yeah! Ā I can literally see any of these things potentially panning out!!! Ā I think it depends a lot on the circumstances etc and also I can honestly see every single element of this playing out in some way or another so I just??? donāt???? know??????? Ā Now I think Iām gonna ask you your thoughts bc this is a loT??? of confusion???????????
not all treasure is silver and gold, mate
the run and go: rik + jax
Theyād taken on a merchant ship last night. It had been risky and theyād underestimated how well guarded it was, but in the end theyād scored double the supplies Azyriah and Kira had stolen from them.Ā
Still, it had been messy and nothing had gone according to their plan (Jax had been part of the problem when he heard that there had been priceless imports headed to Arvor for the upcoming wedding of Leck Quasar to Xia Tomak. While theyād fetch a high price being sold on the black market, they hadnāt -- arguably -- been worth risking oneās life for. They had been short of supplies and it was that alone that they had been after, but Jax wasnāt satisfied and couldnāt resist the challenge of swiping one of the more heavily guarded items.)
Zara and Owen had already boarded their own ship when Jax decided to make a go for it and bolted, with Rik calling after him. Jax made it and pocketed some rare jewels before the guards caught up with them and chased them back to the ship. Jax had made it back unscathed, but Rik had gotten the worst of it with a bullet to the shoulder. Thankfully, Owen was just as good at taking out a bullet and sewing you up as he was manning their ship.Ā
Post-surgery, Rik came into the common area where Jax was seated, feet propped up on the table. Jax smirked, mouth full of breakfast. āYou look like shit.āĀ
OOC | Ren & the Peerces
Ok, so Iām guessing, given Jaxās ~actual paternity, the Peerces spent quite a bit of time with the Quasars.Ā That in turn means that Ren probs knows them, yeah?Ā
(Also, Lizzy, since they were the guards of the Quasars even before the revolution, do you think thereās any chance Ren and/or his father may have known about the affair?Ā Since, traditionally, security are the ppl who sneak mistresses in and out, stand at the door of bed chambers, etc?)
yes!!!! I actually hadnāt thought about that but I think that ren/renās dad definitely did know that there was something happening between alana/jaren and even if they donāt know for sure that jax (and any of his bros tbh??? haha) is jarenās they probably do suspect that at least one of them is, hahah. alSO I canāt remember what you said about Aram in regards to Alana, but I know that leck def does NOT suspect that there was an actual affair between them and even if there was, wouldnāt think that heād let a kid come out of it so renās potentially the only person (besides alana) who may now/suspect about jax????Ā
OOC | Dex & Space Pirates
Do you see these peeps ever intersecting?
OMG YES!!! I feel like dex is another one of those ppl who is all intense and steals their stuff and jax is likeĀ āwhoa man, chill.ā and is likeĀ āwhat is with all these people who have no sense of humor???ā and he probably just stands there smirking while dex is holding them up at gun point and is cracking jokes like the immature six year old he is on the inside. ;D
OOC | Jaeme & Jax
So Jaeme and Jax were on the same planet for, like, a year or two?Ā But ofc Jaeme was in the Arena soā¦idk that theyād have known each other?Ā thoughts?
yes! they were! and they are also the same age but .... given that jaeme was in the arena, idk that they would have known each other??? idk that jax really did the arena scene too much b/c he was pretty much against it and he was expected to be there -- so ofc he was anywhere but tbh hahah
ooc: jax + rik
KATE I LOVE THESE IDIOTS SO MUCH!!!!!! anyway do you think weāre ready to start them?????? I feel like weāve figured them out enough, yeah???Ā
ooc: demeara + jax
JENN!!! I really want the space pirates to have run-ins with the calway girls <333
ooc: jax + ryland
okay so ryland is only a few years younger than jax plus heās close in age w/ his younger bros and these families are both high up w/ the quasars, so I feel like they definitely knew each other and jax literally despises ryland and def messed with him all the time. and ngl whenever the space pirates come to arvor if/when ryland ever travels on other planets/is in a ship in space; jax def makes a point to rob him blind ;DDD (he def did a lot of that when they were younger, too, especially like stealing the outfit ryland wanted to wear that night or something ;DD)Ā
Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying. ā Terry Pratchett, (The Color of Magic)
OOC | Azyriah & Space Pirates
Ok, so idk how you guys feel, Tina and Lauren, but Lizzy and I were kinda headcanoning that there have been quite a few encounters between Azyriah/Kira and the space pirates, and that the pirates just kinda roll their eyes when they see them coming bc omg not these two again.Ā Thoughts?
obviously iām so on board with this!!!! ;DDDĀ
I feel like Jax is like,Ā ā... how??!?!ā @ Azyriah/Kira b/c they keep end up getting the best of them and thereās only two of them???? But also, I think itās mainly b/c Azyriah and Kira are SOOoo intense about survival, etc. b/c itās so important and yeah. Meanwhile, the space pirates are chill and like ??? I feel like Jax both likes and hates them and itās beautiful! Also his convos w/ Azyriah can you imagine??? I just see him being tied up while Azyriah is searching their ship for whatever she can find and heās just making smart ass comments about things and Azyriah is probably wishing she gagged him ;DDD
OOC | Arth & Jax
Do you think these two ever met before Jax became a pirate (Arth is like THAT IS SOOOO COOL MAN) bc OH. MY. GOD.
lajldkfjaslkfjaslkfjalksf jalfyesssssssss!!!! CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THESE TWO AS KIDS TOGETHER IN ARVOR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I. Ā JUST. DIED. I feel like Jax didnāt have many friends b/c most ppl were boring/idiots/Quasar fans and he thinks heās none of those things, but i think heād LOVE Art and you know they got into SOO MUCH TROUBLE whenever Arth would come to Arvor. Also, like I said in Aramās comment, I feel like Jax would always pull off these pranks (especially on the Quasars, when he could) and you know heād enlist Arth to help!!! Also, oMG you know theyād hardly be able to contain themselves b/c the Quasars donāt really have a sense of humor and also NO!!!! CHIL!!!! and just their reactions were actual gold and omg Arth and Jax raising hell as pre-teens is the reason I get out of bed in the morning ;DDD
OOC | Aram & Jax
~actual brother from another mother~
!!!!!!!! ALSO JUST IMAGINE IF/WHEN THEY EVER FOUND OUT!!!!!!Ā
both: can we just forget all about this????Ā
OMG! But I think that they def knew each other, back in the day, after Jaren took over. I mean, the Peerces (well Alana and her sons, haha, no so much her hubby) were def rewarded significantly by the Quasars for Alanaās help (although not in the way Alana wanted to be rewarded, but anyway!) and I feel like the Peerces were def honored guests now and again @ Quasar feasts which was obviouslyĀ one of Jaxās favorite things in the world to go to, haha. i feel like he def would set up elaborate pranks tho and heād always have alibis/āproofā that he was definitely not behind it!!!Ā
Also, I think that he never actually did/say anything that could mark him as a traitor b/c he doesnāt really wanna send Tavid to the arena, but I feel like he would constantly say things that have double meanings and kinda smirk like an actual idiot and i FEEL like he PUSHED HIS LUCK so many times with the Quasars and if he didnāt run away at fourteen, thereās every chance that he would literally be dead haha.Ā
ooc / jax + zara
IāM SO ON BOARD (ha) FOR THIS SPACE PIRATE FAMILY, LAUREN!!!!!!! <33333
Okay, so I wrote this into my bio for Jax, but basically i have this headcannon where Jax was not okay with Zara becoming one of them at first and was basically complaining loudly about how she was a girl/would slow them down/throw off their groove and thatās when Zara pulled out a pistol and aimed like right by his head and heās likeĀ āoh shitā and basically shut up after that ;DDDĀ
jax peerce, space pirate
actually cares a hell of a lot about things for a person who says he cares about nothing
when jax was a kid, he always felt like he didnāt fit into his family. there was always something ~off about him (heās half quasar so that really makes sense when you know who his real dad is but the only person who knew that was alana)Ā
was never close with anyone in his family tbh, but he really, really looked up to and respected his dad.Ā
he will never, ever, ever forgive his mom for cheating on him, betraying him, and being the reason heās dead
jax was only ten when the quasars took over and for the next four years, he basically made his momās life a living hell on purpose (~best son award right here~)Ā
hates his mom with the fiery passion of a thousand burning sons
also hates the quasars
jax: FUCK THE QUASARS
alana: ⦠you are a quasar
jax: ⦠this is awkward
but no, he never actually found out that he was jarenās son. i think he would have suspected it, if the quasars werenāt so hardcore about not having bastards and if he was a quasar, heād be deadĀ
except for the little fact that his mom actually saved his life but keeping this a secret from everyone
anyone, but the time he was fourteen, jax had had enough and said peace to arvor and left
hella sneaky/thinks on his feet/can def distract your attention to x while heās fiddling w/ y
basically he has all of the skills needed to be a magician ⦠or a thief
guess which one was more his style???
actually heās always been aĀ kleptomaniac and even as a little kid, heād steal stuff just to steal stuff. he liked the rush he got when he might get caught and he loved the challenge of stealing things that werenāt easy to come by
it was never about the actual thing he was stealing and 9/10 he actually replaced it
met up with owen varik when they were trying to rob the same dude. they decided to pair up and split the profit since it was an especially risky job.Ā
it was supposed to be temporary but jax never?? left????Ā
heās now owenās copilot and the only other one who is allowed to fly the shipĀ
somehow heās gotten himself a little space pirate family???
ran into rik on arvor once and saw him trying to steal some food and was likeĀ ālemme give you some pointersā and then he adopted him???
was all about helping zara sand escape from reva but he was NO okay with her joining their crew
āsheās a girl. sheāll slow us down.āĀ
but then zara pulled out a pistol and two second later there was a bullet 2 mm from jaxās head. he never said another word ;DDD
def teases/complains about all of his space pirate/crew/family (makes cracks about how owen is hella old and rik is a baby and he always thinks about saying something about how zara is a girl, but he knows better.) anyway this is how he shows affection smh
jax self centered and selfishĀ
he thinks about himself first and everyone else later ⦠if ever
itās not that he doesnāt care (although he will tell you that he will) he just doesnātĀ think half the time about other pplās feelings/emotions and unless you are likeĀ ājax, iām sad.ā he may not notice b/c actual idiot
in fact, jax actually cares a LOT about other ppl in his own weird way, and ofc he hates the quasars for killing his dad, but he also hates the way they treat everyone and if it wouldnāt land his bro in the arena, jax would openly oppose them
use to make his mom sweat tho b/c he would always push the line whenever he was in the room with the quasarsĀ
his actual goal in life is to steal one of those ridiculous ancestor statues from them and watch their reaction when they notice that itās gone
but they are like fourteen feet tall and heavily guarded
still a boy can dream
def a serious flirt
if you have boobs, he will flirt with (at) you and probably make some dumb comments iām sorry in advance
HEāS SO COCKY/CONFIDENT itās a problem
def does a lot of rash/crazy/impulsive things and gets the group in a lot of trouble
thereās SOOOO many close calls with jax itās a wonder heās still alive???
but heās literally the luckiest person in all of velorum nocate and in the end, the stars literally seem to align for him.Ā
heās also sooo weird sometimes and kinda quirky and like half the things he says/does, ppl are like ??
everyone: you are insane
jax: i know
(again his inner-quasar is showing tbh)Ā
SO SARCASTIC
SO SASSY my god
SUCH A PROBLEM
total pain in the ass/assholeĀ
thereās every chance you will want to pick up something and throw it at him after literally everything he says
SO PROTECTIVE OF HIS FRIENDS ⦠in his own weird way
even though he def looks out for himself first, heād never let his friends get seriously hurt/die. heād def leave them in a lurch, but heād come back for them in the end.Ā
def curses all the time
who raised you?!?!?
actual pirates.Ā
will drink you under a table
LOVES PLAYING PRANKS
would play pranks on his mom and all her quasar friends all the time. heās an actual child and tbh he still plays pranks on the pirate crew tbhĀ
ESFP
with jax you probably hate him, but you probably love him, too.Ā
JAX PEERCE | EVAN PETERS
ā Age: (26) ā Location: Traveler ā Relationships: Alana Peerce (mother), Jero Peerce, Tavid Peerce, Aram Quasar, Leck Quasar (half-brothers), Owen Varik (captain), Zara Sand, Rik Tharand (fellow crew members), Haro Anren (distant cousin) ā Description: Jax has always been a problem for his parents. Heās never been much for responsibility or taking things seriously. Youāre much more likely to see him setting up an elaborate prank or some crazy plan to steal something, than anything else. When his father died, Jax got worse. He didnāt have any proof, but he knew that his mother was behind their fatherās death and he hated for it. He let her know his opinions on this and the Quasars in general. When he was fourteen, Jax was both disgusted (and bored) by his life in Arvor and ran away and never came back. Heās always been something of aĀ kleptomaniac, but now he needed to steal to survive and it was when he and Owen Varik both had their eye on the same thing, that they met. Jax teaming up with Owen was supposed to be a temporary gig, but in the end they stuck together and Jax has been with him ever since. For the last twelve years, heās been Owenās co-pilot. Jax tends to look out for himself first, but the truth is, he cares about his fellow pirates enough to die for them. He cares about his brothers, too, even though he doesnāt feel the need to ever go back to Arvor to see them. He wants them to be happy, however, and he hopes they are.Ā TAKEN BY LIZZY.
