Is that JACKSON KING? Wow, they do look a lot like GREGG SULKIN. I hear HE is a NINETEEN year old FRESHMEN who are studying GRAPHIC DESIGN at Luxor University. Word is they are a REGULAR student who is AGAINST The Unhinged. You should watch out because they can be SELF-PITYING and ESCAPIST, but on the bright side they can also be COMPASSIONATE and RESILIENT. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself.
Mimi here !!
And my lil or quite tall, rather munchkin is Jackson King!
I’ve updated this as of October 17, 2021, so feel free to peep the personality section again
The rundown
☆*:.｡. Jackson has attended Luxor Academy (High school) since his freshman year, and is now in Graphic Design, so if you want our charas to already know each other from high school, I am 150% down!! Otherwise we can say they’re just meeting now. Assume connections or hit me up with any ideas. I’m open to brainstorming too!
☆*:.｡. Jackson and his twin brother, Isaac, were child actors. When they were very young, they would share roles due to child labour laws. I think some of their roles might have been Sprouse Twins’ Big Daddy-esque movies, but for the most part, the twins had more-so serious roles (a la Dakota Fanning type movies lmao)
☆*:.｡. As they got a bit older however, they had a few roles alone
☆*:.｡. He enjoyed acting when he was very young, but upon signing the contract for the Disney show, Brady’s Brainwaves, he had a really shady incident happen that completely turned him off from the industry all together. He spent weeks begging his parents to somehow get them out of this contract but ultimately, Disney only allowed for one twin to leave the show and thankfully, Jackson left
☆*:.｡. Since then, Jackson has somewhat had the privilege of doing his own thing and expressing his creativity in other ways, but at the cost of his greedy parents completely favouring Isaac in nearly every aspect of their lives lol
☆*:.｡. This has led Jackson to feel some level of resentment for both his parents and for Isaac, although he never shows it.
☆*:.｡. Their parents were the type who offered big rewards and encouragement when the twins were behaving as they were asked but took equally significant punishment and treatment when they were not. Because of this, Isaac is the only person that Jackson ever truly had, and as a result, he is afraid of his own ability to resent and feel jealous of his brother. He tries to push it down pretty much whenever it arises.
☆*:.｡. Aside from that Isaac is the most important person in Jackson’s life. They are literally soulmates, they’re best friends, they’re silly, annoying and obnoxious together. Everyone around Luxor likely knows them for being melodramatic goofballs who are attached at the hip (at least until the last two years)
☆*:.｡. Jackson is extremely artsy-fartsy. He always has been. He is very creative, and from a young age, had always been good at drawing and painting. As he has gotten older, painting has gradually taken up his entire free time, literally painting everyone and everything that garnered his interest or inspired him.
☆*:.｡. Since Brady’s Brainwaves ended, and Isaac began pursuing a career of his own, outside of what his parents had always wanted, Jackson gradually began to realize that he still did want to act, but was simply too afraid to even tread closely to that life ever again. His parents had definitely continued to pressure him, and it was through that pressure that he decided it was more important for him that he did what he enjoyed freely, and not under any influence of his parents. He much rathered staying out of their radar at all costs.
Personality
☆*:.｡. (Updated) So, right off the bat, Jackson’s personality has changed a lot over the last two and a half years of Luxor Academy, so there are two different sides of his personality. The qualities that used to dominate his personality aren’t necessarily gone, but they don’t surface as often as they used to, and it would seem that only certain people bring out certain qualities within him
☆*:.｡. On one hand, he's generally very outgoing. He almost jumps at the opportunity to say something silly or witty or just generally be overdramatic just bc he finds it, and himself, amusing. If your character has attended Luxor for more than 2 years (since before it was a college) this is likely what they would know of Jackson either personally or from afar
☆*:.｡. (Updated) On the other hand, he can be very quiet and subdued. This happened as a result of a lot of the trauma of his parents’ favouritism and emotional neglect resurfacing. He has a harder time making small talk
☆*:.｡. He is also typically pretty flirty… not always outwardly; he doesn’t make a big deal of himself but he finds it fun and usually doesn’t flirt with the intention of it going anywhere
☆*:.｡. (Updated) Usually the way this shows up now is that it is internalized - the way Jackson has learned to garner affection and attention (to fill his mommy void lol) is by flirting. But again, doesn’t necessarily want it to “go” anywhere. This can be outward at times but it can take specific types to bring it out of him
☆*:.｡. (Updated) He has a bit of a bleeding heart. This definitely wasn’t always worn on his sleeve in the past but he’s significantly more openly sensitive and concerned [for others] these days
☆*:.｡. (Updated) Jackson used to tend to have a hard time being serious bc he’s secretly an emotional wreck and tried to avoid it at all costs and would cover it with humour, but serious seems to be more so his default setting these days
☆*:.｡. (Updated) He can grow attached or even needy with the people closest to him but it won’t always be seen. He has a terrible habit of taking on others’ problems as his own and truly absorbing them and becoming increasingly invested
☆*:.｡. He’s pretty impulsive – he likes to have a good time – he’s stubborn af
☆*:.｡. He can be kinda awkward and shy at times usually if he’s intimidated by the person he’s speaking with in some way lol He usually hides it pretty decently
☆*:.｡. In the same way he didn’t like to be serious, he has always tried to avoid conflict & 95% of the time he’s just a lil puppy
☆*:.｡. unless he‘s being a lil shit ofc
☆*:.｡. I think for the most part, though, his compassion and kindness outweighs it

Lil facts
☆*:.｡. He hates when you call him Jack but hey, if you want, go for it… life isn’t fair. I can’t imagine close friends call him Jack tho lol
☆*:.｡. He’s a Pisces
☆*:.｡. He has control issues. Not with other people but he has this thing about making his own decisions sometimes even at the expense, annoyance or dismay of others
☆*:.｡. He is a bit taller and slightly lankier than Isaac, and unlike a lot of older twins, the two have somehow managed to look alike even as they have gotten older, a la Merrell twins in terms of how similar they look
