The Story of Jax

[Guest MagicJax]

Shapeshifters hide amongst people in their everyday lives. You'd never know, of course, unless you saw them shift. Jax, absorbed in his private world and detached from the city life that no longer interests him, has all but secluded from the regular world and the rest of the Shapeshifters who would no longer accept him as he is. He is a Runikai, a Shapeshifter cursed and pulled into the demon world. He survived, unlike many Shapeshifters who lost their souls to the the Otherworld and became empty, violent, and hungry Shadowlings. He fought his way through the masses of Shadowlings hungry to take his soul, and returned back to the Human World. Although, it not without consequences. Part of his being was trapped inside the World-Between, and he has lost part of what makes him whole. He was left without his ability to Bond, to form a psychic connection only found when a Shapeshifter finds its mate. He is lost, unable to understand how he feels and unable to fully use (or control) his Magic Powers. He works a regular job in the Human World in Sales and goes about his day unfettered by the bustle of city life. At night, he walks cautiously in the light of the street lamps, careful to avoid the Darkness where Shadowlings may be lingering, waiting to pull him back. He is strong enough to fight them now, but he always lives with the fear of being taken back to the Otherworld. Knowing that his life, and his soul, are in danger of being pulled into the Darkness, he may seem to wander aimlessly through life, but his mission is on the horizon. He must reclaim the part of him that is trapped in the World-Between, and maybe then he would have a chance to live a normal life again. He studies through endless tombs of research: history, artifacts, science, magic, and myth, to find some answer. And he needs to control himself, and to grow stronger. The balance of strength and self-control are of vital importance to his Being, as he risks losing control of his powers and hurting the people around him. But to gain Power - Physical, Magical, and Mental - is the object of his focus, and he's become reclusive, as people become so much of a distraction that he limits interaction with them except when necessary, or out of courtesy.
