I'm very curious about Jakkan 👀👀 what's their story?
ROIGHT SO his overall story is still p fuzzy to me but i do got somthn goin so basically it takes place 🌌in the future 🌌 like abt hundreds of years later or so and the monster fighting industry that Ponti was so big in gradually became more tame and thus became more popular and would often be hosted at like clubs or even banquets n stuff. Still dont know how but Jakkans city was destroyed by some sort of radioactive( or something??idk yet tbh LMFAO) accident and he got knocked into a sewage system while trying to escape. He was discovered while a team was searching for survivors to 'save' aka just upgrade and modify them to be new potential fighters in the industry. Since Jakkans arms were crushed under rubble and his lungs where filled with sewage and smoke they had to completely amputate his arms and make some vent contraption to his lungs so that he could breathe that looks like this:
the inner vents are connected to the superior lobes on the lungs and the outer vents are connected to the middle and (left) interior lobes to assist in breathing plus as protection the little blades that make up the vents are Very sharp so obstructing one of them could result in serious injury basically like sticking your hand in a washing machine full of razor blades.
As for his arms the modifiers had something special in mind they'd been wanting to try out and Jakkan was the perfect contender for that and that was basing a fighters design off of The First Legend Himself: Ponti. Despite Bruce’s reign crumbling when he got arrested and Ponti eventually going off and living a new life, video footage of his fighting days still remained. Despite many people in the industry thinking that he shouldn’t be the one to get inspiration from due to his excessively gruesome and violent tactics that are no longer practiced now, some still think that his design could be a key part to success in the business even now. sO they recreated Jakkans arms to be much larger with spikes lining the knuckles that could vary in size(the only pics i got of him are the c r u s t i e s t mfs imaginable so bear with me lmfao):
the arms were separated into 3 sections and they could levitate and move at his own free will
Jakkan overall was devastated about what happened to his city and loved ones but he was willing to accept this new life and move on the best he could since they dished it out to him as if he was getting a second chance at life and an opportunity few could obtain. He began fighting and gained some popularity and became pretty well off quickly, I’m thinking they eventually gave him a second pair of “normal” arms that he could used outside of fighting to do his day to day things. It gets kinda unclear after this but basically he goes to clubs ect where the fights are but also just to hang out there so Lavando being a pole dancer was somewhat acquaintances with Jakkan
Lavando, now being around hundreds of years (now in a happy old relationship with Jonsa livin life in a vast quiet garden land when he’s not working🥺) and seeing how everything came to be and evolved, knew quite a bit about what really happens to get new fighters into the industry but he uttered not a word to Jakkan and assumed he was better off living in a blissful lie until Jakkan started hearing similar connecting stories with other fighters about how their city or town was ‘mysteriously’ brought to disaster and how they were found by the same organization. Jakkan would play it over in his mind trying to find out what it all really meant and brought it up to Lavando at one point and Lav was basically like “ yeah they deliberately destroy smaller cities and put ppl in critical states that way they can be more easily convinced that theyre getting a new better life by signing up for this I’ve been saying this for years and nobody believes me” having an old man moment but for Jakkan that hit him like a nail on the head and he had a revelation of ‘holy shit im living large off of the same people who purposefully destroyed my life and killed my family’ sO basically his current story is him trying to find a way to derail the whole system that he’s stuck in idk it may change after that part tbhhh it doesn’t hit it for me but yeah theres what Jakkan is so far 👍
EDIT::: hold up somthn literally just came to me maybe he does start some revolution of some sort and build a massive group of other fighters thus furthering the whole concept of him being the foil of Ponti but In A Good Way 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 HMMMMMMMMMmmmm
