ORIGINAL PERSONALITY:
Pretty much all you need to know about Jackie is that he’s got dreams of making it big in the Sun On Yee, and yet this loser wears a fanny pack. Real gangster material, here.
Jackie has a tendency to talk too much, and his mouth writes checks his body can’t cash. He talks big, and has been known to make himself seem like a bigger deal in the Water Street Boys than he really is. He’s friendly and gregarious, and always ready with some quick scheme or other to make some cash...usually involving stealing someone else’s stuff. He wants money and power and glory, because he wants to be respected. That’s his main motivation for being part of the Sun On Yee in the first place - he wants the respect that he’s never had as a poor kid growing up in the projects.
If he views you as his superior, he’s eager to please, ready to jump at a command to go rough up some street vendors for extortion money or go fight some enemies moving in on the gang’s turf. Not that he doesn’t have initiative, either; he comes up with plenty of schemes to steal from Dogeyes’ crew and enacts them without explicit authorization from Winston (but he only goes through with heists when he knows Wei’s got his back). He joined the gang to feel like he belonged to something, since there weren’t a lot of opportunities for a kid from Old Prosperity except crime. Jackie is tenacious, unwilling to give up even when the chips are down, and persistent in going after what he wants, because ain’t nobody else gonna get it for him. He knows what it’s like to be bullied, so when he can, he stands up for people who are getting beaten down, like his eventual girlfriend Jiu Mei...even if that means that the heat has been deflected onto him and he gets a beating as a result. For a gangster, he has a strong sense of honor, principles, and morals.
One of Jackie’s greatest strengths - and ironically, what gets him killed in the end - is his loyalty. Treat him well, and you’ve got a friend for life. He even prioritizes his loyalty to his friends over his loyalty to his triad boss. When Mr. Tong has Wei tortured after finding Jackie’s body, he taunts Wei by recounting Jackie’s intense loyalty to him in the face of torture and his refusal to believe that his best friend is an undercover cop. He can be loyal to a cause or loyal to a group, but the most intense loyalty he can have is loyalty to someone who was kind to him. He gave up on the Sun On Yee after being kidnapped and buried alive, but even after brutal torture, he never gave up on Wei.
After his initiation into the Sun On Yee, which required killing someone (and in the process saving Wei’s life), Jackie found himself becoming disillusioned with the triad lifestyle. He’s a petty criminal, but he’s not a killer; that one kill gave him nightmares for weeks. As a criminal, he’s content with theft and roughing people up and maybe the occasional drug deal, but murder is definitely not his wheelhouse.
As his time in the Sun On Yee wore on, Jackie became less and less sure that being in the triad was the kind of life he wanted. It wasn’t bringing him respect and glory, it was bringing him anxiety and bloodshed. That wasn’t what he’d signed up for. Early in the game he speaks of the impending turf war between Winston and Dogeyes as “epic” and “like in the movies”; there’s the suggestion that he’s not equipped to fully deal with the reality of the violence that comes with being a member of the Sun On Yee. He only sees the movie-star glamor and Bruce Lee fight aspects of it when he’s made a full member, not the disaster and death that are part and parcel of life in the triads. That pegs him as an idealistic sort, or as idealistic as someone from Old Prosperity can get. Jackie’s usually pretty cheerful and carefree, ready with a joke (“Do they have internet in America?”) or an insult about someone (usually Dogeyes). He’s also got a mischievous streak and will absolutely do things just to piss his enemies off. Unfortunately for Jackie, that idealism doesn’t hold up once it’s exposed to reality, and by the time Wei pulls him out of the coffin on Magazine Island, he’s cynical, paranoid, and pessimistic.
IMPORTANT CHANGES:
Jackie's gone from a low-level gang member to an upstanding member of society, somehow. He'd been on his way before Malicant happened, and after all of that, he ran with the Snakes for a while. Eventually he decided that he wanted to get out of that life and live his dream of going legit, like he'd wanted to with Jiu Mei before he'd gotten killed, and opened up his bar, named the Golden Koi after the restaurant that had been the Water Street Boys' base of operations, and the place he'd always felt safe and cared for growing up. He's got a steady girlfriend, and is actually quite friendly with the Chief of Police, which he'd never have expected in a million years. Ever.
Appearance:
Jackie is about 5’8” and more wiry than most of the characters in the game, not being a steroid user or a habitual weightlifter, and that makes him quick and agile. He’s still got muscle tone, and he can take care of himself in a fight, but he doesn’t look like much. There’s a tattoo of a dragon winding around his right arm, the head by his shoulder, and an eagle or phoenix on his chest. There is also a tattoo of Guan Yu, the god of brotherhood and righteousness, on the back of his left hand. Guan Yu is viewed by both the triads and the Hong Kong police as a patron.
The PB I will be using is Danson Tang, and his VA is Edison Chen.
Jackie in action.
Abilities: Jackie is a better fighter than you would guess from just looking at him - the result of a rough childhood in Old Prosperity. Jackie is also now a Force user. HE DOES NOT WANT THIS.
Suitability: Jackie has been a friend of the locals for a long time, and his friendly nature will likely ingratiate himself with the melting pot of Aifaran. He'd like to start a new business, if he can, and try to rebuild his life. He won't leave the city if he doesn't have to, because he's not that kind of person. He just wants to quietly live his life. Malicant and the Sun On Yee were enough trouble for him for two lifetimes.
