Jack Spicer comes from a long line of powerful magical women. Unfortunately, his mother only had him, no little girls to carry on the mantle. Thus why she sent him to more feminine classes (ballet, ice skating, etc) instead of the ones he asked for. Since she never had a girl to pass on her magical knowledge and power, she pretended with him. Surprisingly to her and wtf?! To Jack, he ended up inheriting the family powers anyway.
Now Jack has to deal with being the next family magical girl. Complete with dorky magic costume and unnecessarily long transformation sequence. At least the monks don't know yet right? ....riiight? “Just kill me now…”
Chase has had about enough out of Jack Spicer and is ready to do SOMETHING! He's not entirely sure what yet, but definitely something! As much as he hates to admit it if only to himself, he's not sure if he wants to kill the genius or take him to bed and do salacious acts with him.
What Chase wasn't expecting was for his next interaction with Spicer to be interrupted by none other than… himself? He instantly thinks Bean and the Moby Morpher, but no, this Chase is as much Chase as he is.
Jack's really caught off guard, and even more so when the other Chase starts being nice and flirting with him! Chase would give a possessive growl but the doppelganger ignores him and whisks Jack away. WTF?!
Chase ends up having to defend his right to Jack against a version of himself from an alternate universe who's discovered the infinite uses of Jack Spicer, and has been hopping dimensions and universes snagging every incarnation of Jack Spicer he can to add to his private harem/army of Spicer.
Alternately: The AU Chase has lost HIS Spicer and has used wu magic to get into an alternate dimension to claim a new one. Likely has been through a few and moved on cause OTHER universes versions of Chase and Jack were already a thing and battle with himself would be a painful stalemate. Plus, he doesn't want a Jack that thinks of a different Chase, he wants one to think of HIM.
Jack decides he needs some help with his evil. Since he can’t trust anyone he’s ever allied with, not even his bots, (roboJack anyone?) he uses the ring of nine dragons to split off into two Jacks thinking that will help. What he wasn’t expecting was for the split Jack to be Good!Jack. Since they had been recombined with the ring of nine dragons while they were of opposite chi alignments, they can now be split back to that level with the ring. Bad Jack doesn’t want to cooperate with his good side, but good Jack is insistently unavoidably helpful so they end up working together.
Good Jack's idea to help further Jack's evil career is to convince Chase to train them. Seems legit. “EXCEPT HE HATES US!” Good Jack would make several points showing that perhaps Chase was only annoyed or maaaybe thinking of something else when Jack was around which is why he always acted cold to them. Jack's not exactly unattractive after all. And they were old enough now.
Bad Jack thinks that’s a huge longshot, but Good Jack is actually a lot more evil and conniving than one would expect of a good representation of someone. He plans and schemes some things, ending up riling up the dragonlord enough for Chase to hack his magic orb to Jack's system and call the lab. But when he DOES, Good Jack has Bad Jack pinned in a state of putty against the desk, doing suggestive things with a few side glances making sure Chase is watching.
Chase ends up bringing both Jacks in. They’ve convinced him to train Jack in evil. Good Jack stays out and becomes like a domestic housewife type, he’s Jack too after all, and just as into Chase as the other Jack. (Though more aware of what he wants than Bad or even whole Jack) He’s usually the one who initiates intimacy between the other two and himself.
The Plot for the day is... Not the most creative, but a classic none-the-less!
Jack Plot 017: Soulmate AU
Soulmates aren't necessarily a romantic thing. They are quite literally just another person who shares your soul. Not everyone has a split soul, so not everyone has a soul mate. Often the similarities of the two halves of a soul bring them into an instant relationship, other times the differences can drive them apart.
Chase Young is the later. Normally when one discovers the bearer of the other half of their soul, it's a good thing. In Chase's opinion he wished he'd never known. After all, who'd want to share a soul with Jack Spicer? Lucky for him, Jack hasn't figured it out yet, and the dragonlord intends to keep it that way. Treating Jack with as much disdain and malevolent intent as he possibly can.
Jack has always looked up to Chase, and adored the power the man could control. Though for the way he was treated by his idol no one understood why. Jack sorta didn't either, but lack of understanding didn't stop him from being a ridiculous goob any time the other man was around.
Despite his best attempts to keep Spicer away from him, Chase ultimately fails, and with the reveal of a new Wu that tells Soulmates, Jack and the monks are suddenly in position to learn Chase's biggest secret.
Jack is a Ghoul. He was part of a social experiment to teach a ghoul to be human. Unfortunately the experiment was a failure, but Jack's mom had fallen in love with her baby boy and wouldn't let him be taken away. So she keeps Jack at home.
Mr. Spicer did not approve, and it's why he is never home now. Occasionally he sends a gift to Jack out of obligation to keep his wife happy but he only comes home when Jack is gone.
At first, Jack didn't know what he was, and why he couldn't eat the same food as mommy and daddy. But when he was 7, he learns what exactly he is eating instead and freaks out. He doesn't eat for a week, and since what he eats is very very small portions, he has to eat far more often than a regular ghoul.
He gets so hungry he ends up attacking his mom and eating her leg before he calms down enough to realize what he'd done. He never forgives himself for that. But she still loves him and tries to let him know it wasn't his fault.
Since he is a tech genius, he builds her a new fake leg to replace the one the hospital put on her that works as perfectly as her real leg had. He then begins making things to help not only himself, but other ghouls fit in.
He makes a seasoning undetectable by human tastes that allows ghouls to eat regular food without the foul taste and severe damage to their digestive systems, he designs an artificial flesh replacement in the form of pudding that is manufactured.
After a few years in the heylin/xiaolin conflict, someone runs the delivery truck off the road and Jack doesn't get his pudding for the month. It is artificial, so it's not as filling as the real thing, but being raised as a human, Jack doesn't want to eat people! He hopes his last pudding cup will hold him over, but he is abducted by the xiaolin monks and trapped at the temple. Some great heylin moment is approaching, and the monks figure if they lock Jack up (in a small roofed area with bed mat and outhouse, surrounded by an enlarged sphere of yun) until it's over, he won't be able to help or hinder anyone during this delicate event.
Unfortunately, Jack is without both his spice or his special pudding and before the week is over despite the monks giving him food and water regularly (human foods) he is starving. He asked them to bring him his pudding or the spice from home, but they don't see why it's important and ridicule him for being so 'spoiled'.
When kimiko goes to give him his next meal, annoyed to find he once again Didn't eat the food they left him and thinking it's because he's spoiled and won't eat commoner food, she begins insulting him, and enters the sphere via serpent's tail to exchange the plates. She doesn't get the chance as Jack attacks.
In a starving panic, he bites into her and her screaming calls the other monks, they drop the sphere and manage to blast him away and go to Kimiko but Jack has only whet his appetite, and goes for the monks again.
Kimiko is shocked silent, coming from tokyo she knows exactly what a ghoul is, though they tried to keep it hushed up. When in mid attack, they trap him in the standard sphere of yun bubble. He tries to get out in his hunger rage, his powers forming showing they take a form of two large hand-like appendages as he uses them to bludgeon the sphere.
Jack slowly comes back to his senses a little, now sobbing from having attacked someone else and the pain he feels from still being hungry. He begs them just to get him his pudding, but the monks think it's a trap, and kimi tells them all about ghouls with her tokyo human prejudice.
Chase had been spying on the temple when he noticed the lack of Jack bugging him at his home as usual, and searched for the boy. He'd been spying for a couple days now, curious at Jack's behavior, but now he knows. Insert evil grin.
Here we deviate.
Ver 1: Chase rescues Jack from the monks who decide the only way to deal with Jack is to kill him. Jack is still starving and ends up almost attacking Chase before stopping himself, a sobbing mess cause he's hungry, but its Chase.
Chase sighs and rips off his own arm throwing it to Jack who can't help devouring the flesh. Of course he is freaked afterwards, but Chase reveals that as the type of immortal he is it's not an issue, and he grows his arm back before Jack's very eyes.
Chase now knows the reason Jack is so weak is he doesn't eat properly (too much human food with that spice) and is afraid to kill people. He thinks he can fix this and has Jack move in. They go to his home and Jack says bye to his mommy then they settle in to work.
The monks are now terrified of Jack and eventually, Chase makes him into the perfect little protege, being the boys walking meal ticket along the way.
Ver 2: Chase waits till the monks guards are down and frees the starving Jack who kills and eats kimiko. The other monks escaped, but kimi was terrified from Her superstitions about ghouls.
Chase takes Jack back to the citadel and locks him up until he is starving again. Every time Jack is too hungry to think straight, Chase lets him out to devour his enemies. At first the monks think Jack is doing it by choice trying to guilt the teen anytime they catch him in the act, but soon they realize he can't help it as it takes longer and longer before they see Jack each time, and he's more and more gone each time.
Once the monks realized it's Jack who needs saving, they attempt to free him, but it's too late. His mind has snapped from what's been happening and Chase sends him like a trained dog to attack the monks. (At some point, Jack turns on Chase and devours him as well, managing to eat a part of him that he stopped regenerating)
Clay and omi go down, and rai is next but he manages to appeal to what's left of Jack's mind and Jack pauses long enough for the down but not dead, clay to spear him with a piece of Chases citadel killing him.
The three male monks survived with injuries. They take Jack's body back to his mom and she learns what happened and despite her sadness she thanks them. Jack wouldn't have wanted to live like that.
They reminisce about their favorite screwup who just wanted some pudding.
Chase was born from the unholy union of human and demon. His demon father, as demons often do, left after he was conceived. Upon his birth, his obviously demonic heritage caused his mother to flee their home with him. She was hunted down and killed. Managing to hide him away under some fronds in the jungle. He was targeted as an easy meal by a smart jungle cat from his cries, but even as a baby he was obviously a predator. Instead of eating him, the cat took him in.
Years later, archeologist and jungle researcher, Jack Spicer comes to town. He's here to research and explore the ancient temple deep within the jungle. Locals don't hesitate to fill him up on rumors, legends and superstitions. Sadly, Jack is a coward and despite his intellectual mind telling him it's all hogwash, he's still terrified of what could be waiting in the jungle. Still! Hes got a job to do, so he sets off.
It doesn't take long for him to be a puddle of simpering fear, especially when it gets dark. all the jungle sounds and his overactive imagination playing against him. He bolts at a growling sound and ends up lost. He ends up setting up a tiny camp and gets surrounded by hungry beasts as he's just such an obvious prey. He cowers and resigns himself to a painful death when suddenly something darts out and protects him. When he looks up, the beasts are gone, and a small trail has appeared, he scrambles down it not wanting to sit around any longer and finds himself at the temple he'd been trying to reach. His gear unfortunately lost in the jungle.
Regardless, it's shelter for the night. So Jack goes for it. Not expecting to end up meeting the current homeowner. Chase is now older, and rather brilliant. The temple walls were lined with spells and things; he learned how to speak by magically spying on the human's (eye spy orb) He finds Jack fascinating because he's the first human not trying to hunt him or his jungle cats. Jacks just watching him terrified because oh~kay this guy is obviously not human. Slit pupils, sharp fangs, and a large lizard tail.
We get the usual, smart person brings wild guy into society. Obviously Chase doesn't like it. but he does like Jack and tries to bring him back to his home. Jack says no, he doesn't want to give up his creature comforts. Stuff happens. Chase ends up back at the temple, but alone and Jack goes free! …For now.
The Plot for today is... inspired by a previous plot and @mvjerbs
Jack Plot 312: Magical Girl Swap AU
What if Chase was the magical girl all along. His look has changed through the ages and he keeps his two lives Immortal Magical Girl, and Immortal Heylin Warlord separate and secret from each other.
Sure he's a little caustic and standoffish as a Magical Girl, but that tends to be his biggest appeal from his fans.
Jack Spicer has always dreamed of being special, and with a REAL LIFE Magical Girl on TV frequently, he thinks how hard can it be? But he doesn't wanna spend all his time saving the day! And He doesn't wanna commit for eternity like the one on TV, but she IS really hot… What if he played a villain instead!? Then he could have her attention AND take over the world! (or not, but hey! he's not against getting beaten up by a really hot lady.)
Jack becomes the reoccurring villain for Chase's magical Girl identity, and he's obnoxious and flirty as fuck. Chase obviously turns him down.
Meanwhile, in between his plots to mess/flirt with Magical Girl Chase, Jack opens Wuyas puzzle box and gets pulled into the Xiaolin/Heylin conflict becoming yet another reoccurring villain to a team of much less attractive but easier to beat do-gooders.
Jack is loosing sleep while double-timing both sides of his life as a villain, eventually he accidentally brings the shen gong wu to a magical girl fight, and uses it without thinking. Chase instantly recognizes what Jack is using and after the battle decides he's spent long enough away from the conflict, it's time to check in~
Jack is a disaster Bi and has a massive crush on both sides of Chase, he's also the first one to realize they ARE both the same person, being he's so close to both personas. Chase would literally kill Jack if he were to ever reveal Chase's Good Guy secret and states it very plainly. Jack thinks that's so hot.
Unfortunately, no one ELSE in the conflict received the same threat…
When Jack wins against Katnappe during their challenge to become Chase Young's apprentice, Chase actually decides to hold true to that offer.
For the past year, Jack has been holed up in Chase's citadel training and improving himself under the dragon lord's guidance, while a sturdier than usual roboJack runs around pretending to be the real thing making sure no one ever suspects the truth of the matter.
However, one day the robot finally can take no more super powered beatings, and is destroyed. And the multitude of participants in the Xiaolin/Heylin conflict, begin to question where Jack has disappeared to. Chase decides the time has come to let the world meet his apprentice, and at the next Wu reveal, the new and improved Jack Spicer is there to rock the boat.
