Ripper Jack - T.U.F.F. Mission X

Name: ???

Age: ???

Species: Iguana (demonic)

Occupation: Leader of the Shedding Hair / Former leader of the Seven Deadly Sins

T.U.F.F. status: Enemy

History: Several years ago, N.E.E.D.’s greatest enemy was a group called the Shedding Hair. At first they were nothing more than common thugs and criminals, but that all changed when the individual known as “Jack the Ripper” killed the original leader and took command. Once Jack had control, it didn’t take him long to realize that Prospect and Danny Thorndyke were a major problem. When he was approached by N.E.E.D.’s corrupt Council, he didn’t hesitate to use the Spirit they offered. He specifically ordered his men to use the spirit to take out either Prospect or Danny, which ended up being the latter, as he was simply closer at the time. A few years after the death of Danny, Jack learned that his younger brother Samuel (who went by the title “Wreckage”) had become a new enemy of his. Jack underestimated Wreckage and his newly formed army, so he decided to hit where it hurt by having his men attempt to capture Wreckage’s daughter Sinthia. However, this never came to be, as Wreckage made sure to keep her close to him at all times.

Once the Shedding Hair was beginning to lose power, Jack decided to take his gang elsewhere. He brought together various forms of scum and villainy to form a team of seven members (including himself) that he affectionately called “the Seven Deadly Sins,” with his Shedding Hair as the cannon fodder. This alliance became a problem for several different T.U.F.F. agents throughout the lands, and has even caused problems in Petropolis from time to time. However, it turned out that Jack was an incredibly unstable and vicious leader, which made his Seven Deadly Sin members feel uneasy, as he was prone to killing and torturing his followers whenever they failed. The first member to break away was Blaire Newton, who decided to join T.O.O.R.. This enticed his other members to leave, as well, which angered and frustrated Jack. He went after Blaire to get revenge on him first, but once he found out that T.O.O.R. was led by Wreckage and that his daughter was an active member, Jack’s attention turned back to his former advisories. Discovering that Sinthia often visited the city of Meowton, Jack realized that he finally had his opportunity to get back at T.O.O.R….

Bio: It’s not known where he truly comes from or how he’s a demon, but it’s no exaggeration that Jack's a very dangerous and insane person. His cruelty is so nasty, that his own followers often try to leave him when they have the chance. Being a demon, he’s “naturally” more aggressive and violent compared to others around him, which may be the cause of his insanity. He commands through fear, but not just because he wants loyalty; he simply likes to see others cower beneath him, and sees loyalty as a “nice extra.” Jack’s real name is unknown, but it’s true that he named himself after an infamous serial killer, which is where he got the title “Jack the Ripper.” He has a sick sense of amusement, as he enjoys seeing others suffer, and even goes as far as to punish his own followers when he's bored. He has a calm and soft-spoken demeanour most of the time, but when he’s truly happy, he tends to laugh very loudly and acts much more aggressive.

Oddly enough, while he despises Wreckage, he appears to have something of a soft spot for Sinthia, although he’s more than willing to kill her. This indicates that he simply likes her appearance and doesn’t actually care about her at all. It's unknown if he’s truly capable of affection or more positive traits in general, as he appears to be fully heartless. While he tends to go by "Jack" for short, he also sometimes goes by "Ripper Jack," and apparently for good reason, as he has something of a pet peeve whenever the criminal Jack Rabbit is mentioned. This is because people tend to confuse that Jack with Ripper Jack, or vice versa. Additionally, this Jack has such a vicious and crazy reputation, that even other criminals fear him; to the point where Lady Malmsteen has banned him from her villain conventions in Petsilvania, much to Jack’s disappointment and confusion. This has misled him to wonder if he’s not being “evil enough” to attend such meetings.

Strong traits:

• Has slight regenerative abilities
  
• Can stretch his limbs and tail very far, as if they had no bones
  
• Very sharp claws, teeth, and spikes can be used for combat
  
• Can form “metal” blades from his hands to use as weapons
  
• Has the ability to from dark energy from his hands
  
• Said energy can be used from a slight distance with a short delay if needed
  
• Empowered by the misery and anger of others, which causes him to taunt his opponents
  
• Being a demon, he cannot truly die
  
• Can use a secret ability when he feels that he’ll lose
  

Not so strong traits:

• Prone to letting others harm him, as he feels that he won’t be hindered from pain
  
• Regenerative abilities are slower when the wounds are greater
  
• If he “dies,” it will be some time before his body can fully regenerate
  
• Insanity causes others to form distrust and want to leave him
  
• Becomes overconfident when he feels that he will be the victor
  
• Begins to feel stressed when he’s on the verge of losing

Personal note: Man... This character took forever to draw. A lot of that probably had to do with the fact that I keep playing games and watching videos in my spare time... but still! He may not look too difficult to draw, and on paper he isn't. However, when you have to re-draw by hand, color, light, and shade all of those different parts of him on Gimp... it's a whole different story. I like this character, and I'm glad he's part of TMX, but I guarantee you: It will be a LONG time before I draw him again. All of those stripes, colors, and spikes were such a chore to get done; especially on the tail.  

Now, if you've read this bio, you're probably thinking that this guy is one dark son of a bee. He is; I'm not going to deny that, but listen... This is the censored version of his character. Yeah! If you were to see the original version of him, you'll know what I mean. In all due respect to his creator, I wasn't going to add all of that to him in TMX. Instead, I made him a demon who's the leader of various criminals.

I named him "Ripper Jack" so that he's not to be confused with Jack Rabbit, who usually just goes by "Jack." Some people imagine Ripper Jack sounding like the Joker, and you can do so when you read his lines in TMX, of course. However, I like to think that he has a voice that sounds like Demigra from Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Just seems fitting to me. Another thing is that his legs are in kind of a weird position. I was trying to make him stand casually while having those animal legs that reptile characters have in TMX. Looks a little weird for a casual stance, but hey, I tried, and I'll most likely try to improve on such characters with legs like that in the future. Oh, and I mentioned something above about Jack having a secret ability. This will be revealed in the upcoming Sinthia's Tale chapters.
