[h3][color=green]History[/color][/h3]
Jackson has been fighting his entire life. Sometimes physically brawling with others, but mostly fighting to overcome the odds that surrounded him. Growing up he lived with his mom and several half-siblings, all fathered by different men. There was always some "boyfriend" that lingered throughout his house and it usually brought about a younger sibling to take care of. As much as he would've loved a dedicated mother to care for him and his seven siblings, he didn't have one. Jackson was basically raised by his older sister, Andy. She taught him how to be a good and decent person, to stand up for himself, and how to duck when beer bottles came crashing over his head from fights that happened in the house. When he was nine, Andy ran away and left him behind. He tried to take care of his three younger siblings. He started pickpocketing strangers to get them food to eat or a nice toy on their birthday. 

When he turned eleven and he got the letter from Hogwarts, he thought it was some cruel sort of joke. There was nothing special about him. But when Jackson looked around at his life, he was more than willing to take the chance on this magic school if it meant escaping where he was now. When he arrived, he learned that he was a mudblood. A lot of the kids in his house ignored him or bullied him when they found out. So he poured himself into his schoolwork. He might not come from a lineage of wizards and witches, but he was going to become better than them. He would prove to the world that he could do it all by himself. Over the years Jackson managed to befriend a lot of people and became quite popular despite never taking up quidditch. As his final year draws to a close, he spends more and more of his time making connections to land a decent job in the Ministry of Magic and maybe even become the Minister of Magic, himself.

[h3][color=green]Personality[/color][/h3]
Headstrong, Clever, Determined, Intelligent, Ambitious, Hot-headed, Impulsive, Protective

Jackson never really had anyone to rely on, so he was forced to rely on himself. When he lived in Virginia he had to take care of his siblings or else no one would. So, he had to find odd jobs to do or successfully steal small items for dinner without getting caught. The amount of times he was called worthless or was forgotten about made Jackson grow hard. His grades weren't good until he started getting bullied in his first year. The idea of being a joke in the muggle world and in the magic one was enough to spur him on to be better than everyone. Once he managed to make a solid group of friends, Jackson would always be the first one to do something. Someone wanted to skip class? Jackson was the first one out. Someone wanted to pull a prank on the teacher? Jackson had his wand out first. The professors at Hogwarts were constantly amazed at how he managed to walk the line of troublemaker and star student.
