ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This character is terrible and not for the faint of heart. Please know that threading with him can be both hilarious but also disturbing for some people. If you're easily offended or made uncomfortable, don't thread with him. It's a hobby of his to be inappropriate as possible.

Jett (mine) and Jeong (Claire's) drawn by Poppy!
Jett is pretty much always smiling, and when he's not grinning, he's laughing. Try finding him looking genuinely serious. Go ahead, try. It's nearly impossible. It's probably good that he gives off an approachable aura, though, because if he did look serious, his eyes might startle some people. Pitch black. Not deep brown, but straight up black and soulless.

His brunette hair is always mussed as if he's just woken up. He doesn't bother to do anything with it throughout the day. He looks amazing already. His facial hair (something else he's just too lazy to keep up with) is thin. He's one of those guys who can't ever grow a full beard. And yes, somehow even his facial hair is disheveled. Don't ask.

His lips are on the thinner side, and his nose is just a tad too full at the tip. Without a beard, his face is too skinny, giving him the appearance of a teenager. Yeah, the facial hair changes his look that much. He'll never get rid of it. Never.

His usual style involves jeans and casual shirts and sweaters. Jett is the kind of guy who would unironically wear a terrible winter sweater at any time of the year and be perfectly confident in it. His clothes, much like his hair, is wrinkled and disorderly. It's not uncommon to find Jett wearing two different pairs of socks. Hell, he might not even realize.

Physique-wise, he's a slim man. No real fat, but no amount of impressive muscle either. He's not quite in bony status, but he'd be closer to that than muscular.

Is now always wearing his wedding ring, either on his finger or on a necklace. Displayed proudly.


Jett's skinwalker form is downright grotesque, and there is nothing friendly looking about it. Oh, he's still smiling, but that expression loses its warmth when you pair it with teeth too large to close lips around and a mangled body.

This form looks nothing like a coyote or dog. Nothing like any common animal you'd see. His ribs poke out from his side, and his hands and feet are eerily close to that of a human's. His hands and feet come equipped with very sharp, thick claws. He has no opposable thumbs.

His head is box-shaped, with sharp, upright ears and small circular eyes the same color as his human half. In this form, it may even appear that he has no eyes at all, due to their color.

Jett's body is arched downward, leading to uncannily human legs and a poor excuse for a tail. The fur covering his body is thin and stiff, itchy to the touch.
Some people might describe Jett as hyperactive and flighty. He follows his whims and is easily distractible when he deems something unimportant. He has a weakness for fun, such as tricks, pranks, or downright antagonism, whatever looks fun!

There's always something comical to Jett's approach of things. He's a fan of theatrics and mixed with his overt villainy; he can come off like a cartoon villain. And hey, he's okay playing that role. It's hilarious and gets some priceless reactions. Don't take this silliness as a sign that Jett can't be a threat. Sure, he takes most of his failures in good humor and usually screws up his own evil plans for ridiculous reasons, but when pushed far enough he's relentless in his pursuit to harm people, and there is no low too low for Jett.

Charismatic and a jokester at heart make him easily likable by others. He'll talk to just about anyone and isn't ashamed of any topic he may bring up. The guy has no filter. He'd be fine with calling you a friend, but don't think that means you'll be getting anything out of him. Everything comes with a price and Jett always wants more out of a deal than he gives.

Jett is one hundred percent an attention hog and steals the spotlight any chance he can. To be fair, he doesn't even realize he does it. He just can't help it! And may God have mercy on your soul if you ever take what is his, whether that be the spotlight, a friend, or even his morning newspaper. He's highly possessive, jealous, and petty. Words don't bother him, they never have, but when something you do offends him (whether you meant it or not), Jett will make your life hell.

And to get something straight, he's downright arrogant. His ego couldn't get bigger if he wanted it to. Jett probably couldn't name a time he's felt self-conscious or thought someone was better suited for something than he was. Sometimes, his world view involving himself borders the delusional. He sees the world the way he wants to, whether that way is the truth or not. He lies A LOT, like a ton. Mostly because it's fun to him. Hilarious, even.

While it may not seem that Jett cares for anything or anyone other than himself, he does have a soft spot for the theater and his close friends. He's a passive aggressive little shit, too, just to add the rotting cherry on top of the garbage cake.

DARK MAGIC:

Illness Inducement: Jett can produce sicknesses in people through physical contact. His power ranges from headaches to heart failure. There's a catch, of course, there always is. The larger the sickness, the longer Jett has to be touching his victim. Diseases with a high probability of death can take up to fifteen minutes of nonstop skin on skin contact. Any loss in touch means the victim is given no effect.

The illnesses Jett produces occur (seemingly) naturally, rather than right at the second he creates them. He has to force the side-effects if he wants them to happen right in the moment, and generally speaking; he can only do that with small things such as headaches or stomach pain.

This magic requires his concentration. The more powerful a sickness, the more he'll look out of it and be very clearly not paying attention to whatever is going on around him or whatever is being said to him.

Because of this dark magic, those who look into Jett's blood will see a variety of contagious diseases (yes, STDs included); this is not true for genetic diseases, which he cannot pass on to people. These diseases are dormant in his body until he activates them and transfers them to another person via dark magic. This may make his blood taste terrible to those who try it, but who really knows?

Say My Name (passive): One of the passive abilities of Jett's magic is the capability to hear information that directly relates to him. There's a catch. He can only hear this information when his name is spoken, whether it be his new name (Jett Lavelle) or his old one (Yanisin ). And yes, it counts if you only use the first or last of either, so long as you're referring to him specifically. Names have power, and you should never speak a dark creatures name unless you wish to bring their attention. This can work as a decent method of summoning him, though that would certainly irritate him.

When his new age name is used, he can hear whatever snippet of the conversation relates to him, but he won't know what the topic change is when there is one, nor will he know the context of his inclusion in the first place.

When his old name (Yanisin) is used, the effect is different. He can still hear what is said about himself, but stating his name is a good way to harm him. Hearing this name gives him a pain similar to stomach cramps. (For more information on this check the weakness section).

SPECIES ABILITIES:

Skinwalkers are commonly associated with coyotes or large black dogs, as such it should come as no surprise that Jett can transform himself into a large pitch black German shepherd. While it may be possible to genuinely mistake him for a real dog, most people wouldn't make that mistake. Just like in his regular form, his eyes are black and bring about a wariness when they're looked into (really his whole aura has the tendency to put people on edge) but in his dog form, this is doubled.

There is just something off here and it's not hard to tell what that might be. His dog shape comes with the smell of dark magic. It burns the nose and alerts people that something is both very wrong and they probably don't want to interact with this puppy. All in all, it's just unsettling. Paired with a stiff walk, it can make a person wonder if this creature is something out of a nightmare. Jett will never move like a real dog; he's too stiff, too deliberate. He walks with the same stagger possessed by a rabid animal.

Beyond his dog shape, Jett can mimic voices once he's heard them enough to identify them. It's up to him to replicate a person's manner of speech, however, and he can only speak in tones (i.e., stressed, happy, sad, etc.) he's personally heard the person he's mimicking use.

Jett has enhanced speed, agility, and durability, as well. He can scale a ten-foot wall relatively smoothly. Of these three, only his durability surpasses human limitation. Jett is not immortal, and he doesn't have any quick healing abilities, so bleeding out could be a problem, but his skin is thicker than is normal. While his skin isn't tough enough to stop a dagger or bullet, it does lessen the damage enough that stabbing Jett in the stomach wouldn't put him out like it would the average human.

His speed and agility are as good as if he exercised them regularly. The way a trained professional could run and jump, but it does not exceed into supernatural territory. Jett is not immortal, but he does have a long lifespan.

WEAKNESSES:

Silver: As is common with supernatural monstrosities, Jett is harmed by silver. It burns him, and the wounds caused through silver have a habit of needing extra care to remain uninfected. If there is even a small amount of silver in his system (IE: if he doesn't clean the wound thoroughly and properly) he'll become sick and the wound will get infected.

Bullets Covered in Ash: Bullets smothered in ash is another method of wounding Jett. While silver burns and can make him sick if he doesn't get the silver out of his system, bullets smothered in ash force him to leave. Yes, you heard that right, shooting him with a bullet covered in ash forces Jett to retreat, even when he's not wounded enough to stop fighting. Note this only works when paired with bullets.

Names Have Power: As previously mentioned, Jett's adolescent name can be used against him. Just saying it gives him stomach cramps. 'Yanisin' can be used to either kill or control Jett. When giving him a command while using his birth name Jett cannot refuse, and he must follow the intention behind the order, no matter what. If the speaker has the intent to kill him and says something to that desire while using his name, Jett will grow increasingly sick, dying a slow and painful death. Magic cannot heal this. Nothing can. His death would be imminent. This can all be done at a distance, as he is able to hear what is directed to or said about him when either of his names are used.

Holy Things: Jett's magic is pure evil, and as such he can not step on holy ground without immense pain reminiscent of being burned. Holy water and other religious items not only repel him but burn him. If you hang a cross on your door, for instance, he won't be stepping over the threshold of your home anytime soon. While wearing spiritual things (cross necklaces, priest outfit, etc.), all of Jett's magic (except his 'say my name') is less efficient against his target.

Healing Magic: Healing magic is tricky for Jett. While it doesn't hurt him, it doesn't heal him efficiently, either; potions are more effective.

Jett has lived in Manta Carlos since fifteen years of age. Originally he was sent to the island after having completed his ritual to get the magic he possesses now.

As a young boy, Jett was always enamored by power. Born with the Skinwalker gene, that made his obsession more worrying to his family. A skinwalker was not consumed by their evil, or given magic and another form unless they committed the most heinous of crimes. They had to spill the blood of their family, had to bathe in it. Their magic worked on pain and betrayal.

Jett murdered his family and bathed in their blood by the time he was thirteen, having been committing other, more private atrocities in his community as practice beforehand. Right afterward he packed up his things and ran.

For two years Jett was on the run, living on the streets and hitchhiking his way from place to place. Eventually, he met a man who told him of a magic place. An island that accepted people like him. An island where people from the mundane world couldn't find him.

A change of identity and a wad of cash later, Sathon became Jett Lavelle and moved to Manta Carlos, where he lived at Starlight Academy and advanced his academic life.
