Blackjack is a clever, composed, very independent individual with an interest in gambling and games...especially toying with others. He can be a devious beast, deceiving those he communicates with for his own benefit. This is a reward-focused man who lives for the thrill of the hunt and garnering fame alongside it. Though indeed well-disciplined and an ambitiously hard worker, Blackjack struggles with maintaining relationships with others and himself. He finds difficulty in relating to others and often struggles with his mental battles, as he longs for a sense of purpose he can't seem to find. His hunts seem to be methods of distraction more than anything, but for now, they're his preferred methods of keeping busy and maintaining productivity, for he often takes up bounties for things that benefit him, such as information or any items he may need.
Possessions and Accessories: waterskin made of goatskin
Blackjack is an immense beast for his species — a muscular North American jaguar with an obsidian-black pelt and slightly lighter gray jaguar spotting. An even lighter gray (though still fairly dark) trails up his chest and onto his chin. He seems to come from a mutated lineage, sporting dark brown-gray ram's horns and a reptilian tongue. His eyes are a mesmerizing gold.

Little is known about the history of Blackjack or what exactly pushed him down his path. A soft-footed, expert hunter and tracker foreign in the world around him, Blackjack took to relying on bounties in exchange for food, shelter, and information about the island he had wound up in. Starting young, beginning when he was a year old, his first bounties were not composed of violent murders but instead simple tasks: retrieve an item, relay a message to someone, brawl it out with some punk that stepped out of line. Eventually he ranked up to reconnaissance missions, aided by a young raven by the name of Oscuro, and by the time he was 1 1/2 years old, he was ready to get his paws dirty, taking on his first hunt-to-kill bounty. It wasn't the taste of blood and flesh that excited him, but rather the adrenaline of hunting and the notoriety he had garnered. He was capable of killing, and many knew of it. The idea of fame was intoxicating for Jackie, who, at this point, found himself entering an identity crisis, a feeling of no purpose. With this idea in mind, he felt that he had a reason to exist.
Blackjack's hunts took him to the desert, where he became acquainted with the desert residents of The Pitt. In need of a more permanent shelter, he decided to join the Pitt, taking on the temporary rank of Pale Blood until the event of his Blooding, in which he murdered a client-turned-target for his head and was somewhat traumatized by the experience. After his Blooding he became a full Pittian and exclusive member. Soon after this he rose to the rank of Skald.
