Jack Hatchett
Jack Hatchett plays a devilish game. On the surface, he's just a mobster. Underneath, he's a father. Deeper still, he's on a mission to reduce bloodlust and make life better for cryptids. Preferring the carrot over the stick, he'll give a bit, take a lot, and anyone who shakes his hand says thanks.

➤ APPEARANCE (physique)
Jack is a stocky man marbled with muscles. Bestial and worn, he has green catlike eyes, sharp teeth, clawed digits, pointed ears, and a scar on his upper-right lip. Pale chestnut hair falls just above his shoulders while a beard covers his jaw. A pair of bat-like wings and scorpion tail is tattooed on his back.
➤ APPEARANCE (clothing)
Jack is almost always seen in an alchemist's tunic. For more mundane endeavors, he'll don a coat and jeans, but usually possesses a matching hat and no shoes. Fond of masculine jewelry, he wears an onyx ring on his left thumb and a wedding band on the appropriate finger beneath his gloves.
➤ PERSONALITY (positives)
Jack is quick to reveal the machine of his being. Even on his worst days, he manages to be slow to anger and quick to be appeased. An inquisitive soul, he explores inner curiosities and is easy to indulge with a good conversation. Humor is important to him and the main way he goes about life.
➤ PERSONALITY (negatives)
Jack is arguably better known for his darker side. Competency and cunning have helped make him into the thug he is, although he's far more likely to reason than kill. Predatory by nature, he often preys to instill fear, and he's proficient in finding creative ways to make his victims pay for their crimes.
➤ SPECIALTIES (manticore attributes, healing)
Jack is a manticore and able to shapeshift in part and whole. Armed with several natural boons, he possesses enhanced physical attributes, large wings, sting venom, fire-breath, and a healing factor that mends most injuries, including ruptured organs. Old wounds cannot regenerate.
➤ EXPERTISES (master alchemy, pit fighting)
Jack is an extremely talented alchemist and healer, capable of creating various potions, serums, medicines, pellets, and everything in between, given he has the resources. In a different vein, he recreationally partakes in pit fighting to stay strong and has a generally high pain tolerance.
➤ ACCESSORIES (handaxe tattoos, onyx ring)
Jack is tattooed with a handaxe on each of his arms, which allows them to be summoned from and stored in personal hammerspace. Likewise, his attunement to a blessed onyx ring allows him to travel to and from his base of operations through interconnected teleportation circles.
➤ WEAKNESSES (silver & rowan, old wounds)
Jack is vulnerable against noble silver, which weakens his enhanced physical attributes and slows his healing factor, and he cannot bypass anything made of rowan wood without effort. On the more mundane side of things, he also suffers from mutism and hand-related issues.
➤ BACKGROUND (child / teen)
Jack was born into the Blackwell family alongside brothers who tortured him throughout his life. One day, he suffered a traumatic event that rendered him mute, and if weren't for the interference of his mother, a skilled healer, something much worse would've transpired. Feeling isolated, he turned to alchemy as an escape and spent most of his early years alone.➤ BACKGROUND (young adult)
Jack grew as a budding alchemist, and as he did so, he also gained an interest in the bloodlust that held creatures such as him under spell. Once he was old enough, he immediately left his home for the small town of Rowanwick where he met his best friend, Samantha Sykes, and became the apprentice of an old man whose shop he inherited after his mentor passed.➤ BACKGROUND (middle-aged)
Jack eventually struck an alliance with some like-minded scientists and professors in the neighboring city of Los Lunares. Together, they created a bloodlust suppressant through trial and error with human blood and other ingredients, but not everyone was content. One of his coworkers committed arson to destroy the research, and he took the fall for everything.➤ BACKGROUND (recent times)
Jack resorted to horrendous means to offer cryptids an alternative to killing and maximize the death ratio. Still at large, he and his syndicate abducted the unwary by night to be brought to Underhive and harvested for parts. Between managing the business and seeking a more permanent solution, he just discovered that Samantha, now an investigator, is on his trail.
