Character's Role: Spirit
Face Claim: Naoto Shirogane
Gender: Male?
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Monster Brute, Tiny Titan
Age: 18
Love Interest: TBD
Appearance: Jack is androgynous in appearance, with short blue hair, gray eyes and a somewhat feminine build. Always teased and taunted for his height, he is exactly five feet tall. His eyes are also kind of bad to the point where he needs his blue-framed glasses and sometimes wears them, but usually just barely manages without them. His skin is fair and smooth with a little tan.
Preferred Clothing: Jack's trademark feature is his blue cap. Normally he wears dark blue jeans, a white collared shirt, and a casual black jacket over that with four of the five golden-colored buttons secured. His pants have a chain on the right leg connecting to a pocket watch. Occasionally he will wear more formal clothing. Sometimes blue formal shirts with ties, generally yellow in color. Sometimes the colors of these articles vary, but the types of garment generally remain the same. Everything he wears is slightly bigger than his actual size.
Height: 5'
Weight: 110 lbs.
Hair Color: Blue
Eye Color: Gray
Personality: Jack, while embodying spirit, does so in a subtle way. Jack's will and resolve are strong on the inside, but he does not show it through on the outside in the form of high energy or volume. In fact, he is rather quiet and soft-spoken. Like some of his traits, his voice is rather feminine and outside of the small circle of friends he has, he really doesn't speak at all. Jack is rather mature, often acting as the voice of reason for some of the less responsible group members. Despite his maturity, however, he has a tendency to grow very sheepish and nervous around the topics of femininity and going to places like pools or beaches. He is a pure soul, one that loves indiscriminately and isn't afraid to bare his feelings to those he cares about. And once his mind is set to something, it's hard to get him to sway away. Save for one thing about himself, he's not afraid to share his secrets with his friends.
He can be known to be tenacious and aggressive. This is only when he feels threatened, or when he feels a desire to protect another. He rarely holds back, sometimes unable to tell the difference between a sporting fight and a fight for one's life. What he lacks in raw power he makes up for in dexterity, agility, and evasion.
•Noteworthy Extras•
Likes: Superheroes, formalwear, warm weather, boxing/sparring/fighting.
Dislikes: Bullies, carrots (and other non-green veggies), the color pink.
Hobbies: Reading, bicycling, generally doing anything with his friends, collecting hats (though he only wears one) and guns.
Sexual Preference: Bisexual
Habits/Oddities: He's known for small fits of excess energy. He can't really explain it, but sometimes a small burst of energy comes to him. If that does happen, he may fidget around and get a little restless. Depending on his mood, he might even do a little dance (check the bottom of the sheet). Occasionally he also likes to fiddle around with his glasses, wearing them or not.
Fears/Phobia(s): Ghost stories, snakes, the ocean.
Skills/Talents: As the incarnation of Spirit, Jack has access to a few neat abilities. He has the gift of flying short distances, the ability to easily intimidate others, and most iconically, the ability to summon Astral Figures. He has access to five off the bat, one for each of his ties to the other Five Aspects.
This power works oddly. Based on his relationships with other people, a new Astral Figure will appear to him in his dreams. Their shapes, sizes, and abilities vary widely between each other. He can conjure these figures at will, manifesting them from his own being. Each one has three stages, the third being the final and most powerful of the three. Once he has more than one at its final stage, he may temporarily fuse them in battle to form another, more powerful Astral Figure for a short time. Only two may be fused at once. He can control no more than two at a time.

Fighting Style: Apart from using his Astral Figures to fight with him, his small body allows him to be quick, agile, and evasive. It has helped him earn a reputation as a capable fighter with the power to win fights in one hit. That is the rumor. It implies he is strong enough to knock his attacker out in one hit, but in reality he avoids attacks, baiting his opponent into exhausting themselves before delivering one hit to the drained foe.
Personal History: The young man that everyone knows as Jack Sato was born as a baby girl, Jacklyn Sato. Jacklyn was born into a house with four older brothers and a single father. From birth, she was always with the guys. She was always "one of the guys." As a result, she never really embraced her own femininity. She was happy being a guy. And so, apart from the forces of nature beyond her control, she identified as a man. As she grew up, she took an interest in "masculine" activities and hell, she even developed an attraction to women as well as men. She was so happy as a man in fact that she denied "feminine" interests. She has never played with a doll or painted her nails a day in his life.
Unfortunately for him, as masculine as he was inside, his body developed otherwise. Everything from his skin to his... measurements were greatly feminine. So he began taking care of that. He began wearing somewhat formal men's wear a size or two over his actual sizes, making sure to tape down his chest on a daily basis. It was a lot of work and adjusting, but to be comfortable in his own skin every day, it's nothing to him. Even still, he never got tall and his frame was still kind of feminine.
This earned him the attention of bullies when he was young. He started off getting teased, then it began getting physical. Unfortunately for the bullies, having four rowdy older brothers taught him to be able to fight and defend himself. From a young age, he earned a reputation as a monster brute. A tiny titan with the ability to knock kids out in one punch. Though that rumor is a little farfetched, it did help keep kids away from him through the rest of his school years. Very rarely was it that he had to emphasize that the rumors had a bit of truth to them.
But throughout all of this, despite being labeled a monster by the kids, he managed to find five friends who accept him for who he is. Only one of them know of his true sex, his best friend, [TRUTH], but he wouldn't trade them for anything. Not even his girlfriend, Raziya, knows his true sex. With his reputation, it's not often that his friends become anyone's target in their small town.
[More backstory to come with the completion of other characters and the explanation of Jack's bonds with them all.]
Moving with the wind
We are free-falling now
No choice but to trust this
As we go into the void
We are standing, staring into empty space
Asking all our questions
Answers we can't trace
Is this all there is?
I feel the waves of the change
Reflect on everything we know
How do you stand out from the infinite?
The rate of growth is hard to keep up with
Under a diamond sky
Everyone wants to shine
We are all connected
To each other now
Reaching new dimensions
As we go into the void
Moments away from our one true destiny
Time won't slow down at all
Like a bird set free
It will fly to the height of its whole life
Do not hesitate in flight
Just reach the sky
Under a diamond sky
Everyone wants to shine
Other: Jack has a job at his father's hardware store. It's a small business and his father is really lenient about letting him choose his own hours and such. The pay's pretty decent, so he does end up paying for lunch and stuff for the group without asking them.
His older brothers are: Jacob, Jared, Joshua, and Jeremy. Her father is James and his father told him that his mother's name was Jessica.
