WIP of Damas post Jak 3 (because 2004 animation being what it was means in The Scene We Don't Acknowledge Except For Angst, the dude only had his legs pinned. Learn to read a pulse, Jak! 😆)

"You're just going to sit there all day?"

"Yep."

"....you don't trust me not to strain the injuries. I should be insulted."

"Well frankly, boss, I had to inherit the recklessness from somebody."

"..."

"I'm right, aren't I?"

"....I'm going to tell the next advisor who walks in that you have separation anxiety. How about that."

"First of all, you're probably not wrong. Second, if you think you can annoy me into leaving, we're gonna be here a long time."

"So you say. But I am a man of nigh infinite patience-"

"-except when it comes to recovering from compound fractures, apparently-"

"-and you'll break down sooner or later."

boggles my mind that critics called jak whiny in the second game

he was tortured and experimented on for two years as a teenager. he had his entire world view and perception of humanity shattered. his body doesn’t feel like his own. for fucks sake, they even played the death theme when he was arrested, cementing the fact that he died and his body is walking around an unknown city, one that is eerily familiar yet carries the weight of trauma and fear for him. his entire support system treats him like a ticking time bomb, and the only one that doesn’t still flinches away from him. jak in the second game is a hero in the aftermath of their adventure. he’s the broken, ugly truth of what heroism does to a person. he’s achilles, driven by rage and bloodlust and revenge for those who hurt him. the first words he ever utters is a promise to kill the man who did this to him (a promise he doesn’t even get to keep). in all the games, he is truly at his lowest in the second installment, so yeah, i think he’s going to be a little cranky.

IT'S THE HORNS AU

Descendants of Mar have a remarkable tendency to grow horns.

Every Ex-Havenite old enough to remember the family of Mar knows this. They come in all kinds of colors and shape, and even the horn growth pattern seems completely random. A parent often having entirely different looking horns to their child. Damas wondered if Mars' horns would be so different to his own. They hadn't grown in before he was taken. Most descendants didn't start budding until at least their teens.

Mar, the warrior who built Haven city, bore two thick, tusk-like horns that framed his jaws. Damas' mother had had blackened ram horns, meanwhile his sister had had a bright neon blue pair that grew out of her temples angled out like a second pair of ears. It had always made his older sister look rather intimidating. With the sharp cut of her eyeliner drawn in angular slashes around her eyes, he had watched no small number of men quail under that glare.

So yes, those that were old enough (or just brusque enough as native wastelanders tend to be to ask the king to his face why he had horns coming out of his noggin') knew exactly what having horns meant to their leader.

This is the reason why the arena grows hushed, when the newest recruit transforms into a pale frenzied thing with black little horns standing out clearly from the white hair.

Commenced the 'homework' I got from that dream scene this morning. Started off with drawing Damas, and I figured it was good enough to share as an individual piece! 😊🧡

So here's a King/Daddy Damas for the J&D community :3

[nyuudoupee]

drew up better references for paz (jnd oc). more fun info under the cut!!!!

Paz's main deal is that they're one of Praxis's old guinea pigs before Jak came along, this time with Red Eco. As she can't control eco the way Jak can, she had the red eco physically injected into her over the course of multiple red eco treatments; the tattoos on her back mark where the cables were placed.

(It's a headcanon of mine that Jak was shocked with dark eco to imbue him with it because that's how it kinda manifests outside of The Sludge™️ when Jak builds it up in game. Red eco doesn't really look like it's electricity based, hence Paz needs it injected into him for it to work.)

Red eco made Paz brutishly strong and hypersensitive to her surroundings at the cost of her sleep schedule and eyesight: her pupils/irises shrunk over time and blinded her slowly. His glasses and the lenses in his combat mask are specifically made to help light reflect better into Paz's eyes to clear his vision up. Her prosthetics also work with the red eco that's permanently in her system after the treatments, and turn on when attached to her body.

They're mostly based off of luchadores and mexican wrestling. Given her insane physical strength, picking up and piledriving large wasteland baddies is easy for her.

I'm considering writing a """small""" fanfiction about Paz's background, why he left the krimzon guard and why he isn't present for Jak II's plot, and posting it eventually on AO3. Once I beat JND II and 3, that is!!!!!!!

Character Associations: Jak

(Funny, I had this same prompt in two different versions saved in my drafts from the last two times I did it in past years, intending to do it again since it has been years! Good time to tag me...even if I took a month or so to get to it! xD )

I'll smash together these two old ones and put them into this one, resulting in a bit more things to fill out: "5 Things" and "Character Features" - with 3-5 things per category.

✴EMOTIONS/FEELINGS✴

✧ Paranoia ✧ Disdain ✧ Curiosity ✧ Confidence ✧ Arrogance

✴GREETINGS✴

✧ Silent Nod ✧ Clipped wave or nod ✧ Silent, judgemental stare: first impressions don't always go over well ✧ Faint smirk, almost as if she knows something you don't ✧ Fanged grin, if she likes you

✴COLORS✴

✧ Red ✧ Black ✧ Gold ✧ White

✴SCENTS✴

✧ Handmade, perfumed oil (Spiced and earthy/citrusy) - a connection to her past, and the family she lost ✧ Well-oiled leather - what she's often garbed in ✧ Campfire smoke - another reminder of her family/past ✧ The scent of a savory meal on the stove/in the oven - she loves to cook! Having suffered with hunger and near-starvation, the ability to cook good food now is something she relishes.

✴CLOTHING✴

✧ Leather mini-skirt/pants/clothing in general - good for sneaking, or for drawing the eye where you want it...away from where thieving hands might be wandering ✧ Loose-fitting cloth fabrics - the better for the hot places she likes to live/dwell in ✧ Sandals - for when it's hot! (Boots or sneakers when practicality + comfort is the goal.) ✧ Lots of piercings - in her face, and ears.

✴VICES/BAD HABITS✴

✧ Drinking - She drinks now and then, and no longer tends towards being an alcoholic ✧ Drugs - She no longer abuses somnus, and smokes moko a little now and then to relax ✧ Works out too much/pushes herself too hard, out of the paranoia associated with having been a Garlean prisoner of war. If she's fit and fast enough, no one can catch and cage her again! ✧ Holds herself (and others) to incredibly steep, almost unachievable standards out of a belief that one should always be bettering themself. ✧ She loves breaking and entering as a hobby! She doesn't even steal things, most times - maybe moves things around, or breaks things, and just makes herself at home...it's about the power and control, not the stuff.

✴OBJECTS✴

✧ Throwing knives - often coated in non-lethal toxins, and sheathed in hidden holsters in her clothing. ✧ Lock-picking tools, if she's out to do some B&E ✧ DRK soulstone set in a bangle on her tail

✴BODY LANGUAGE✴

✧ Languid, but alert - in the manner of many a large, feline predator; she may seem to be completely at ease...while simultaneously ready to act at a second's notice ✧ Shoulders squared and chin lifted, a stance of stubborn pride ✧ A tail that lashes in anger, or sways slowly when in thought - this body part betrays the otherwise carefully controlled actions of the rest of the little woman. ✧ Feline ears that are almost always on a swivel for sounds that are out of place, or words spoken softly - seeking things meant to go unheard. ✧ Examining her nails - either truly bored, or trying to project disinterest

✴AESTHETICS✴

✧ A weathered, leather-bound sketchbook ✧ A desert campfire, as the sun sets on a sandy horizon ✧ Piano music drifting from another room ✧ A dark, viscous, canine shadow with too many eyes and teeth that hungrily slinks across snowy wastelands ✧ Opposing aesthetics of dark leather, and gold jewelry set against pale, flowing cloth; the street rat, and the empress, juxtaposed

✴SONGS✴

✧ Cold-Blooded - Zayde Wolf ✧ Somebody's Watching Me - Madelyn Darling ✧ Knife Under My Pillow - Maggie Lindemann ✧ THAT BITCH - Bea Miller ✧ Here Come the Wolves - Lola Blanc (An especially poignant and multi-layered song for Jak!)

[seirei-bh]

I've decided to do some edits of the Ashelin and Tess outfits that they wear in my fanfic Jak 3: The Last War, using the original concept art as base. I drew a wastelander outfit for Keira myself a while back, but I wanted to experiment with something quicker this time before drawing Tess and Ashelin.

-Ashelin was a Captain of the Guard and now the Governor of Haven City, so I thought she should wear a more suitable outfit for her soldiers and subjects to show her respect (plus the weird sexualization of her original design made me uncomfortable lol) I added also the symbols of the Freedom League to her new suit, since in the original she still had the symbol of the Krimzom Guard from Jak 2 in Jak 3, and that didn't make much sense. -About Tess, her clothes are totally perfect as a spy working in a bar during Jak 2, but in Jak 3 Tess makes weapons and also in my fanfic she also participates in some missions as a sniper, so I decided to add a perfect bulletproof vest to protect herself in combat and I added some protections on the knees and some leggings under the shorts to go a little more camouflaged while still looking cute.

-I was thinking of editing Taryn's outfit as well, but the only changes to her I have in mind are her red t-shirt covering her belly and sometimes also wearing a dark gray leather jacket.

[shenzuul]

[image id: Ashelin turns to Seem and says, “Wait, Jak is Mar? The Mar?”]

I finally have an alternate explanation for this line at the end of Jak 3 that lets me off the hook. I’d always thought that the only way to interpret this is that, through time travel shenanigans, Jak is the same Mar that founded Haven City. But I’ve finally fucking remembered that even though we never get a detailed backstory, Ashelin canonically knew Damas even before the events of Jak 3 took place. Ashelin is the one who passes Jak a Wasteland beacon when he gets exiled, and when they meet up again later, she tells Jak that she knew Damas would find him. That means there’s a good chance that Ashelin knew Damas had lost a son named Mar--and what she might mean here is, “Jak is Damas’ missing child? The one I thought was only like, five years old?”

The Promise of Living

[cantolopejeevas]

I've been replaying the Jak and Daxter series, so here's an obligatory OC, lol. His name is Zephyr, he's trans, and he's my answer to the question, "Why don't we ever see a Light Eco Sage?" There's basically two main stages to him as a character, which will be under the cut~

Jak 2-

Raised in Haven City after having been adopted by Count Veger, Zephyr is a teenage prodigy put on the fast-track for becoming one of the Baron's finest medics. At the behest of his father, he even trains to hone the rare and mysterious Light Eco, which he himself has an intense interest in the history of. Both of these facts make him the perfect candidate to take care of anyone with Dark Eco related injuries-- even those chosen for the Dark Warrior Project. While he enjoys helping people, he feels that he can do more if only he were allowed to do so. But Veger keeps him under a tight watch with the claim that it's for too dangerous for him to leave the finer parts of the city.

Unknown to Zephyr, he becomes a target of interest for the Underground. Veger catches wind of this and, wanting to get his hands on the Heir of Mar, arranges for the perfection time for Zephyr to be captured so he may have a means to do so without risking his own hide.

Thus, Zephyr meets the low-ranking schmucks sent to kidnap him: Jak and Daxter. The former being one of his very patients that he knows has been touched by Dark Eco. Uh-oh! But it's not all bad-- while with the Undergound, he gets to meet some more friendly faces and forges bonds that he never would have while under his father's lock and key.

At this point of his life, Zephyr's most distinguishing traits are his empathy, his intelligence, and his rigidity in his own sense of self. He's a little obsessive about emulating all that Light Eco represents. Goodness, purity, all that jazz. Having Veger as his father certainly didn't help, and it's so intense at times that he even polices his own thoughts and double, triple, quadruple checks what he does every second of everyday. If he doesn't, then he can't be good enough to master the powers of Light Eco like his father wants him to, like he was destined to.

Also of note: Zephyr is pre-transition during this time.

Jak 3-

Due to his role during the Metal Head War and his expertise in Light Eco, Zephyr is granted a place on the Council, under Governor Ashelin Praxis. When approached by his father to consider voting to banish Jak for being a danger and letting Metal Heads into the city, he adamantly refuses, showing more loyalty exactly where Veger doesn't want it. Infuriated, Veger concocts another plan behind Zephyr's back to have him 'disappear' without a trace, hiring an old worker of some dead crime boss to deal with him in the best way a Wastelander can.

Lucky for Zephyr, Sig has a heart of gold, and instead takes him to Spargus. Being a complete non-combatant made earning his place hard, but all warriors need one thing: someone who can take care of them should they survive the battle. And hey, nobody here had any expectations! As long as he can keep people alive, nobody cares who he is.

So, for what feels like the first time, he can just be. And one of the first things he does is chop off all his hair. Next thing you know, he's a fully realized guy with independence, a sense of community, and pride in the position that he's earned.

When familiar faces show up in his slice of paradise, he's more than excited to help them get used to their new home, while showing off all that he's discovered about Light Eco from organic research and contact with the local sect of Precursor Monks. And when the rumblings of the Day Star make themselves known, he's the first one to want to go investigate and see what can be done.

At this point in his life, Zephyr is rocking a ton more confidence. He knows who he is and isn't afraid to show it. The Light Eco has changed his appearance a little, but he takes that as a point of pride. A lot of his old habits remain-- he'll always be a chronic double-checker. But he handles those dark, intrusive thoughts with a lot more dignity and grace, choosing to put them to good use as motivation instead of punishing himself for things beyond his control.

Thus he achieves a balance of Light and Dark, and the wisdom he needs to be a Sage. Yay!

Snippets: Free Day Thursday

Adopted Dadmas: Dadmas versus Haven

The red light was blinking on Jak’s talk-box again. Damas was no fool, he knew that meant someone was spying through the floating comm -- or attempting to. Doubtless, the eavesdropper thought they were being very subtle, keeping silent whenever adults were present. As if they believed Jak would keep their presence a secret. As if they believed he would never tell.

Damas tore a circle of flatbread into pieces and used them to scoop a mixture of cooked peppers onto his plate. He pretended not to notice the talk-box hovering next to Jak’s elbow in a terrible attempt at stealth, instead choosing to engage Daxter in a conversation. He was determined to get the kid apprenticed to the head of the merchant guild one way or another. Daxter had a head for business and trade that Jak, simply put, did not. He nodded along when his friend talked, but privately Damas thought it would do Daxter good to be around adults who could encourage his interests.

Periodically, Jak cast swift glances at his talk-box during the meal. He seemed like he was expecting someone to speak at any moment -- or more like he was expecting orders of some kind. His shoulders were tense, and he was shoveling down food much too quickly, like he thought he wasn't going to have time to finish it.

"Slow down, young one. The shrimp isn't going anywhere, and neither are you," Damas admonished.

Jak didn't slow down much, but he did start chewing a little more thoroughly. Small victories. Still, he looked tired, and on-edge. Had Ashelin or the sage been badgering him again when no one was around?

The initial idea had been to lay a trap. To feign ignorance and bait the spy into speaking aloud, thus forcing Unpleasant Diplomatic Discussions with Haven's motley assortment of would-be leaders. But just now, Damas decided, the health and wellbeing of his son took precedence over strategy. And he still had the element of surprise, anyway.

"Talk-boxes off at the table, Jak," he announced, gesturing directly to the lens watching them, "This is a meal, not a media interview."

The boy flinched and looked guilty. He had no reason to; he'd been open with Damas about the demands for labor since he first returned from Haven. But then, he'd been groomed from such a young age to believe that bad things happened because he didn't work hard enough for his "friends". Perhaps he still feared retaliation for establishing healthy boundaries? Better to confront the issue head-on then, Damas decided.

"If your uninvited watcher has an emergency, they are free to petition me directly," he said, leveling a stern glare at the talk-box. "On their own time, not yours. Come on, switch it off."

Someone made a muffled sound, barely picked up by the talk-box's speaker. It seemed they were not expecting to be so casually acknowledged.

"Jak-!" the watcher tried to protest, but Jak reached for the power button.

"Right. Sorry, Pa."

Once the light had faded from the little camera, Damas nodded, satisfied. He picked up a shallow bowl with tomango in it and held it out to Jak.

"Here. You need the vitamins."

Begrudgingly, Jak took two slices, then a third when Daxter gave him The Look across the table.

The ottsel cleared his throat meaningfully.

"Pal, you gotta get better at telling those people no. They can't hurtcha!"

Jak hunched over his plate, frowning.

"I know," he muttered sullenly. "I- I do know that, okay? They just don't listen!"

Daxter sighed and his ears drooped. "Yeah...I know. Old Greenstuff only hears what he wants to hear. Always has."

With a frustrated groan, Jak rubbed his eyes. "After everything he's done, I shouldn't be having trouble cutting Samos off. Why do I keep going back?!"

"He's familiar," Daxter admitted, and not without a touch of loathing. "He was all we knew for like, our whole lives. I hate him -- I'll always hate him -- but I get being afraid to lose that last connection to Sandover."

"....yeah." Jak winced. "I um...I think you're right. It's just. It's hard."

"I know, pal."

"And he knows I have two artifacts that go with those weird pillars in the forest!" Jak continued, "What do I do when he starts asking why I haven't brought them?"

"You end the call," Damas interrupted firmly, "or you give the line to an older Wastelander. Collecting those relics serves the interests of our people, and our people will be working in teams to locate them."

Perhaps this was Jak’s fight as much as anyone else's -- this Daystar and its coming threat -- but Damas was reluctant to involve him. Wasn't losing one son bad enough? He'd never survive losing a second one!

Besides, even someone as talented at sneaking into hidden places as Jak couldn't infiltrate places locked by the Seal of Mar. Whatever the Grand Council of Haven wanted with the catacombs, it was a matter for Damas to deal with, not the boys.

Jak picked at his tomango slices almost glumly. Whether it was his own struggles with setting boundaries that bothered him, or Damas’s advice for dealing with future calls, no one knew. But Daxter and Damas both knew that Jak wouldn't keep it bottled up for long. Sure enough, after a couple minutes of mangling his food without eating it, Jak finally looked up.

"You didn't tell me you were sending other people to look for the relics I told you about."

It was almost a question and almost a complaint.

"No, I didn't," Damas acknowledged, and sipped his tea. "The topic hadn't come up between us yet. Is there something about it that concerns you?"

Jak had difficulty putting his thoughts into words. He started and stopped three times before muttering, "It's dangerous. What if someone gets hurt and I'm not there?"

"What if someone doesn't get hurt and you're not there?" Damas countered. He leaned an elbow on the table and gestured to himself almost self-deprecatingly. "Age does not grace the Spargan who is careless, nor are many years added to the foolish. Do not worry so much about people who were hunting metalheads for sport before you were even born, son."

"Admittedly," said Daxter, "We're still getting used to the concepts of adults who can actually fight their own battles. Am I complaining? Only when they decide it's "Take Your Ottsel To Work Day". But even I still go into jobs expecting to have to save everyone's butts at some point."

"Justified with the monks." Jak pointed a piece of tomango at his best friend.

"Yeah, justified with Mime Club."

Damas threaded his fingers together under his chin and watched the boys a moment.

"How about this," he offered, "If an artifact is located but not yet retrieved, I will give you the option of participating in the mission. Or, you can wait until everything has been gathered, and we will go to the pillars together."

For a moment, Jak brightened. Then he looked pensive again. "What if there's trouble? I mean. I was never really- I never claimed Haven, but they act like I belonged to them. What if me bringing another nation into their forest makes trouble for Spargus?"

"Hmph. Perhaps it is better to settle this now, rather than engage in hypotheticals."

Damas held out one hand.

"Give me your talk-box."

Jak narrowed his eyes. "What are you going to do?"

"Not your concern."

"Papá...." somehow Jak managed to sound both suspicious and scolding.

Damas remained unmoved. "Hand it over, boy."

Reluctantly, Jak did so. He cringed when the device powered on, and Keira's voice poured out.

"Jak? Are you okay? Daddy came in fussing about someone interfering with- you're not Jak! Where's my friend?!"

By the mortified expression on his son's face, Damas guessed this was the sage's daughter. The childhood friend Jak still sort of had a crush on.

"Tell your father to stop harassing my son," Damas said shortly. "Especially during hours set aside for family meals. Was he raised in a barn? In fact, ask him that for me."

"Pa, no!" Jak hissed, making a futile grab for the talk-box.

"Your son?! Who are you? Who- hey, Daddy, c'mere. You know this guy? He says he's Jak’s dad!" Keira became muffled for a moment, stepping away from her own device to drag her father over. "Why's this guy think you're harassing Jak? We've only called him twice since he left. Right?"

"Insisting he keeps his comm on at all times so that you can all monitor every moment of his day is not an acceptable use of Federation communication lines," Damas cut in. "I shouldn't have to tell you that spying on the nation of Spargus in such a way could be taken as an act of war."

"This-! This is bigger than Haven or the Wastelands!" Samos sounded flustered- even a bit nervous. "Surely you understand the claim destiny has upon Ja-"

Damas made a dismissive sound in his throat, cutting the sage off. "Pah. Destiny. I should think the recent Praxis regime and my own continued existence would be enough to call concepts such as destiny into question. As it stands, my claim on Jak supersedes "destiny" -- or more accurately, you."

"The fate of the planet hangs in the balance!" Samos cried, though somewhat subdued compared to his usual confidence. "Can't you see that?! Don't be so bullheaded, Jak is needed-"

Jak recognized the glint in the king’s eyes as mischief. Daxter looked a little too eager to see where this was going. Jak resisted the urge to cover his face in embarrassment. Why and oh why did Keira have to be the one to answer the line?!

"Oh? Are you planning to challenge me for custody of my son?" Damas bared his teeth in an unfriendly smile. "Please, by all means! The Arena is ready whenever you are."

"Pa!" Jak gripped the sides of his head and stared at the man. "Not in front of Keira!"

"Look, old man-" Damas ignored Daxter's delighted cackle. "This planet will survive through united efforts, not by sitting back and hoping one boy alone will get the job done. Now, if Haven wishes to negotiate a temporary alliance to get this done sooner, there is no one stopping them from requesting a meeting with the Wasteland Federation. In the meantime, the Federation intends to continue preventing the apocalypse with or without your participation."

"You are?" Keira cut in over her father again, sounding genuinely curious. "You mean there's more people who can get into ruins?"

Jak got up and moved to the head of the table. Damas moved the talk-box out of his reach preemptively, but Jak made no move to grab it.

"That's their whole thing, turns out. You know Krew? Yeah, everything he sold you, he bought from Wastelanders. Even the defunct power cells."

The slightly warped image of Keira on the screen flickered as she leaned closer.

"Seriously?! I could've cut out the middleman and just worked with them all this time?! Ughhhhh. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. You want to show them my research from the palace library?"

Behind her, Samos jumped. "The what?! Keira, the library was destroyed with the rest of the palace!"

"The building collapsed, sure," Keira retorted, "But the data cores are still mostly intact in there. If you don’t mind crawling through some tight places and bringing lots of Scout Flies, it's a cinch to get the files for Vin."

Samos looked apoplectic. "Keira! That's far too dangerous for you!"

His daughter rolled her eyes. "What? Jak and Daxter can do it but I can't? Don't you trust me?"

Damas stifled a chuckle and elbowed Jak. "I like this one," he whispered. "Invite her to Spargus sometime."

Jak wished the floor would swallow him.

[artstar1997]

Habit(s): Styling her hair, humming songs, customizing her outfits, and throwing insults at enemies.

Flaw(s): She can be vain and egoistical, often centering herself as the main attraction. She is also arrogant, dramatic, sharp tonged, often puts others down due to being bossy and stubborn and is prone to losing her temper. Certain annoyances like Daxter’s ongoing storytelling nonsense would lead to her knocking him off Jak’s shoulder or any high platform like a bar table or Jak’s short temper would made her snap him out of him by slapping. Many enemies end up being insulted by her when she fights them.

The Character’s Relationship With Others

Reputation: Jakleen is an empath who loves helping everyone. She finds joy in assisting others around her, and becomes popular because of her optimism.

Love Interest(s):

Captain Phoenix - Jakleen is smitten with Captain Phoenix when she first saw him because of his well-mannered and level-headed personality. He had a clear attraction to Keira, at first and showed frustration when she favored Jak over him, but he later moves on to Jakleen, who returns her attraction to him and they became an item, something that Jak tried to prevent from happening until they decided to put their differences aside for her sake. She was able to save Phoenix when the Phantom Blade was about to collide and they are able to continue their relationship.

Friend(s):

Daxter - Jakleen had been friends with Daxter for years but not as close as Jak. Despite her occasional scolding or slaps, she cares for him and would keep him safe from danger with her psychic powers whenever they go on adventures.

Keira Hagai - Jakleen had been friends with Keira for years, ever since they live in Sandover Village. She was also there for her when she started having occasional nightmares and migraines due to the pain she felt in Jak when he was subjected to the dark eco experiments. Keira was horrified when she found out that Erol was just using her to get closer to Jakleen, but this made their friendship closer than ever.

Ashelin Praxis - She was unsure about her at first because of her relation to Baron Praxis, being his daughter. After getting to know her more, Jakleen slowly warms up to her and becomes friends with her.

Torn - She was intimidated by him at first but later warms up to him when she helped him organize strategies and tactics.

Tess - She became very close friends with her when she and Keira first arrived in Haven City. She also comforts Jakleen when she is in pain from the occasional nightmares and migraines due to the pain she felt in Jak when he was subjected to the dark eco experiments.

Vin - Jakleen would use her telepathy to communicate with Vin but she would occasionally visit him when needed. He was forever grateful to her for saving him from the crashing metal head.

Enemy(ies):

Gol and Maia Acheron - She only heard of them until she encountered them in the Red Sage’s hut. She became furious when she heard their plan and wanted to even the score.

Baron Praxis - Jakleen hates him for his tyranny and because he experimented on her brother. Despite the hostility, she is willing to forgive him when he was dying.

Erol - She has a love/hate relationship with Erol due to the fact that he tries to flirt with her. When he was turned into Cyber Errol, she is glad that their relationship is over.

Krew - Jakleen doesn’t trust him, not even once because she could see what his intentions are through her psychic powers.

Count Veger - She hates him for banishing her brother and slinked off with him to the wasteland, where she met the wastelanders. She called him a monster for his misdeeds when he revealed himself to her and her family. When he was turned into an ottsel, she snickered at his new appearance and thought of selling him to Kleiver.

Razer and the dream team - Jakleen finds them abhorrent because of their infatuation towards her.

G.T. Blitz - She has been keeping her eye on G.T. Blit, Kras City Racing Commissioner and host of the G.T. Blitz Show, who is constantly accompanied by floating cameras. She often uses her psychic powers to know more about him until she knew that he is Mizo.

Duke Skyheed - Jakleen never trusts him at all because she used her telepathy to read his mind and find out earlier than Jak about what he is doing.

Klout- She never trust him at all and she wants to warn Captain Phoenix about his upcoming betrayal.

Relationship(s):

Jak - Jak is her twin older brother, because of the seal of mar amulet on her neck and the psychic link she shares with him. Despite being younger than him, Jakleen would boss him around and try to keep him in line but he is also protective of her. He would let her join the racing circuit but he would try to keep her away from Captain Phoenix, whom she had a relationship with. Jakleen would style or braid his hair, and she often has a playful attitude towards him.

Damas - He is Jak and her father. She was scared of him when she first arrived in Spargus but she is able to hold her own, even if she defended Jak, Daxter, and Sig in the arena. She is able to save him in the catacombs and reveals the truth to him by showing her amulet. Jakleen loves him and tries her best to make him proud.

Hera - She is her and Jak’s mother. She first encountered her when she arrived in Spargus, where she is disguised as a servant. When the twins revealed themselves to their parents, they were happily reunited.

Sig - She sees him as her uncle figure due to their encounter in Haven City.

Jinx - Jakleen doesn't like him due to the fact that he tends to flirt with her.

Samos Hagai - Jakleen respects him and listens to his advices a lot.

Pecker - Jakleen trusts him because he has been trafficking information and advising important people. She had been snickering about how he is at odds with Daxter, as both have tendencies towards sarcasm and a short temper.

Seem - She respects her for her knowledge of the precursors. Despite the mistrust at first. She eventually grows to respect them and displays several signs of gratitude and impression.

Kleiver - Jakleen is on neutral terms with Kleiver because of his rivalry with Jak. Despite this, she would threaten Count Veger by saying his name.

Rayn - She is neutral at first, due to the shocking fact that she heard about the poisoned wine that she knocked off the table while she slept during the meeting.

Tym - Jakleen was wary of him for his laugh, but she slowly becomes friends with him for his knowledge and for being compassionate and level-headed.

The Precursors - Jakleen was able to hear their voices through her telepathy until she was surprised to see their true forms when she, Jak, Daxter, and Count Veger arrived at the precursor core. The Character’s Abilities

Birthplace: Haven City

Family:

Jak (twin brother)

Damas (Father)

Hera (Mother)

Familial Background:

Marella is the last to be born among the twins. With their eco powers, Jak was the heir to Mar's legacy, and believed to be the Chosen One, one of the privileges that Jakleen shared with him. When her parents were banished, Marella's teleportation powers went haywire and transported her to the place where her brother was held. She was able to escape with him when her untapped powers transported them to the streets.

Character Background:

She and Jak were found by a young Samos, who found him wandering the streets and recognized them for the amulet. The Underground kept Jak hoping both that he could be placed on the throne to depose Praxis, and in the hopes, he could open the Tomb of Mar and find the Precursor Stone. Meanwhile, as Damas ruled Spargus his banishment from Haven, Damas hoped to one day find the two again, keeping an amulet identical to Jak's, and preserving Mar's armor for when they met again. She was kept safe by her older self throughout the ordeal. After the old twins defeated Kor, the young Samos took her and Jak back in time to Sandover Village, where they would be trained to have the skills he used to defeat Kor that day, completing the cycle.

Growing up in Sandover Village, the twins became best friends with Daxter and was watched over by Samos and the Explorer, called himself Jak's uncle. Jakleen was adopted by a beautiful singer who taught her music and other talents and skills that she would later use when she grew older. She also became close with Keira, who would go on to become her brother's love interest. Over time, Jakleen saved young Jak from the wumpbee nests on his ninth birthday.

Jakleen first appeared when Jak and Daxter returned to a disappointed Samos, who directed them to seek help from Gol Acheron, the dark eco sage Keira offered to help, providing her zoomer to travel north to see him provided they could find power cells to power the heat shield needed to cross the Fire Canyon. Venturing up north, they witnessed Lurkers' increased attacks on the villages, with Rock Village under siege, and both the blue and the red sages were kidnapped.

At the Red Sage's hut, Gol and his older sister Maia arrived to taunt Jak, Daxter, Jakleen, Samos, and Keira, revealing their plan to open the dark eco silos and reshape the world to their liking. Daxter was dismayed that the one they had sought for help was now the foe they had to defeat, but the group persevered; no longer trying to cure Daxter, but to save the world. At the silo near the citadel, four surrounding pipelines opened up and an accident light eco appeared, which Daxter believed could have changed him back, but reluctantly gave Jak permission to use it to stop the precursor robot and save the world, causing Jak to nod enthusiastically in agreement. When the four sages and the group celebrated, Jak leaned in to kiss Keira, only for Daxter to interrupt them, which caused Jakleen to snicker in response. Using their 100 power cells, the two found the Rift Gate and Rift Rider, hidden behind a Precursor door.

Jak, Jakleen, Daxter, Samos, and Keira activated the Rift Gate, opening a portal for the Metal Head leader to appear. In desperation, Jak then activated the Rift Rider, following its preset coordinates to Haven City, many years in the future. There, Jak was captured by an already waiting Erol, and sent to be experimented on for Baron Praxis' Dark Warrior Program while Keira and Jakleen escaped with Samos and Daxter. Jak remained there for two years, which caused Jakleen to have migraines and nightmares, thus gaining psychic attacks of her own. Upon escaping, Jak and Daxter reunited with Jakline, who found Kor and his younger self (unbeknownst to him) outside, and after protecting Kor from the Krimzon Guard, the three were directed to work for the Underground and ask for Torn.

Torn refused to let Jak speak to the Underground's leader, and sent Jak, Jakleen, and Daxter on increasingly dangerous missions out of his dislike for them. While Daxter protested this, Jak revelled in the opportunity to hurt the Baron, more-so than to help the Underground but Jakleen elbows him to keep him in line. Torn's missions led them to work for Krew in order to gain favors with Krew and leverage his connections, something Jak was willing to do in his quest against Praxis, and was rewarded with the Morph Gun and upgrades. Torn and Krew's missions also led the team to meet Vin, Ashelin Praxis, Onin, and her interpreter Pecker, Sig, and Tess with a reunion with Keira at the Mar Memorial Stadium. Jak competed for her NYFE racing team and she provided the JET-board, although the two were at odds due to Jak's friendship with Krew and Erol’s attraction to Jakleen. Meanwhile, an oracle taught Jak to control his dark powers.

Shortly after, the trio discovered Dead Town, and realized Haven City was in fact his own world's future. Furthermore, the Underground's leader finally agreed to meet with Jak, Jakleen and Daxter, only for them to find the leader was Samos, but a younger Samos, who did not recognize them. Between Samos and Onin's missions, Jak now directed efforts to find the Tomb of Mar so his younger self could obtain the Precursor Stone; when they did so, his younger self was forbidden from completing the tomb's tests of manhood forcing him and Daxter to take them instead, only for Baron Praxis to capture most Underground members and take the Precursor Stone for himself. Jakline was able to run into her younger self, who managed to escape with her untapped powers, so that she can give them the location of the Underground members.

At Torn's direction, Jak and Jakleen freed the Underground members from the fortress; in there, Kor and the child Jak were missing, but the older Samos of his time was found locked up beside his younger version. Learning from Samos that the Baron's plans to use the Precursor Stone with the piercer bomb against the Metal Heads would destroy the world, Jak raced in the NYFE championship to enter Haven Palace, in the meanwhile helping Keira rebuild the Rift Rider, as the two reconciled. Jak's win helped him reach the palace where he clashed with Ashelin; revealing his stake had gone above mere revenge. Jakleen, on his behalf, pleaded with her for help to save the world, which she obliged when Vin confirmed Samos' vision. Jak defeated Krew at the weapons factory and stopped the piercer bomb, after which the city was invaded by Metal Heads, entering when Kor sabotaged Haven City's Shield Wall and Sig opened a door in the Underport at the behest of Krew, double-crossing the Baron.

At the construction site, Jak, alongside Jakleen, who is trying to protect her younger self, learned that Kor was the Metal Head leader, having used a human disguise to infiltrate the Underground. Kor then killed Baron Praxis, who with his dying breath called Jak the "supreme weapon" and revealed to him a second piercer bomb, and the Precursor Stone. Jak, Jakleen, and Daxter took the stone and, with the Metal Heads preoccupied with attacking the city, used the opportunity to storm the nest, and after using Mar’s Gun to blow a hole in it, revealed his intention to stay and fight for Haven rather than abandon it with Keira's Rift Rider. When confronting Kor, Kor revealed to Jak and Jakleen that the twins were their younger selves, and they defeated Kor. He and Jakleen sent the twins alongside the younger Samos to the past using Keira's Rift Rider, completing the cycle and ending the three-hundred-year war with the Metal Heads.

Jak and Daxter were banished to the wastelands by Count Veger but Jakleen slipped off to join them using her teleportation powers. When Jak came to, Damas ordered that he and Daxter prove themselves worthy to gain citizenship of Spargus, or be cast aside.

In spite of an antagonistic relationship with Kleiver, one of the high-ranking Wastelanders, Jak performed well and proved himself in his missions for Spargus and his performance in the Arena of Death. Damas also warmed to Jak and Jakleen, showing (but attempting to hide) paternal pride in him and concern for their safety, and giving them fatherly advice. The relationship soured when Jak encountered Sig at the Arena of Death, and both Jak and Sig refused to fight one another, defiling the arena. Damas threatened to exile both, but Jakline defended them. He gave them a chance for redemption due to Sig's service as a spy in Haven, which both were able to achieve by destroying a nest of metal-pedes nearby. The twins also met Seem and the Precursor Monks, who showed hostility to him at first, but through their temple in the Wasteland he was able to obtain light eco powers and gained the ability to transform into Light Jak, much to her amazement.

Partway through Jak's time in Spargus, Ashelin arrived and pleaded Jak to return to Haven, only for Jak to harshly defy her, consigning Haven to doom due to their treatment of him and Jakleen tried to convince him. Nonetheless, Jak and Jakleen eventually did return via the catacombs in the war effort, motivated by vengeance against Veger. Jak and Jakleen linked up again with Samos, Keira, Torn, Tess, and Ashelin to battle both the Metal Head and KG Death Bot fronts, fighting for the Freedom League. During the war, they learned that a now-cybernetic Errol, working with fallen Precursors known as the Dark Makers, was behind the war and commanded both forces.

The war against the Dark Makers required the two to find artifacts to use the Astro-Viewer, learn more about his new enemy. While in Spargus to find the artifacts, Sig told Jak and Jakleen that Damas had planned to ensure Spargus survived the war, believing Haven was doomed. Jak rebuked him and Spargus for "playing with peoples' lives", and continued to fight the war against Errol. The twins confronted Errol at the KG War Factory, where he declared he would stop Errol and the Dark Makers' plan destroy the world, before shutting down the factory and weakening the KG Death Bots front. After this, when the Dark Makers attacked Spargus, Jak and Jakleen fended them off, earning their citizenship of Spargus, receiving a piece of Mar's armor that Damas was saving for his own son (not knowing Jak was his son) as well as a war beacon that he could use to summon Wastelanders whenever he needed it.

She and Jak then went to the catacombs to reach the Precursor core so he could activate the Planetary Defense System and stop the Dark Makers. The path to the catacombs was riddled with Metal Heads, causing Jak to use the war beacon to summon Damas. Damas helped Jak fight through, only to be fatally wounded by a missile and Jakleen was able to heal him with her powers. Jak realized that Damas was his father, and he and Jakleen revealed the amulets they carry, but they were also met by Hera, their biological mother, who was disguised as a servant in the palace when they came. Veger taunted them for this, causing Jakleen to call him a monster but Hera held her back to prevent her from causing more harm. This caused Jak and Jakleen, with Hera and an injured Damas to chase him there down the catacombs in anger.

When he reached the Precursor core, the Precursors offered Jak and Jakleen the opportunity to transform into a Precursor themselves, only for Veger to take it himself and be transformed into an ottsel against his will. The three Precursors then sent Jak to the Dark Maker ship to prevent Errol from awakening its cargo and told Jakleen to conjure a portal to send herself, a recovering Damas, and Hera back to Spargus, before the leader privately expressed lack of confidence in them and wish for a "backup hero".

Jak successfully stopped Errol and the Dark Makers from destroying the world, turning the tide in the Precursors' universe-wide war with the Dark Makers. Jak and Daxter returned to the place where Jakleen and Ashelin were waiting. As soon as Jak arrived, Jakleen ran to him and they both hugged. The Precursors, after thanking the people of the planet, told them there were more adventures in the future, asking him to join them in fighting the Dark Makers in other worlds. Jak obliged at first, but declined last minute due to his loyalty to Jakleen and Daxter, choosing to stay in his world. The now-reunited family was happily spending time together, catching up with the times they lost.

A year later, Jak, Jakleen, Daxter, Keira, Torn, and Ashelin traveled to Kras City on the invite of Krew's daughter Rayn, to attend the reading of Krew's will. Jakleen slept throughout the toasting of his death, and knocked down the glass of wine. She woke up when they were informed they had been poisoned, and that the only way to obtain the antidote was to win the Kras City Grand Championship for Krew's racing team. The group turned on Rayn, who claimed to be unaware as she had drank from the same bottle, though Jak chose to believe her, and agreed to race for their survival. When the team learned that Krew and Kras City crime boss Mizo had bet each other's business against who won the championship—meaning they were unwittingly caught in the middle of a gang war—Jak told the team to sit tight and keep racing while pledging to think of a way out. Jakleen would drive in Keira’s place due to not being allowed to race.

Jak got off to a slow start, berated by the show's announcer G.T. Blitz poor ratings on his first race in spite of his win, but gained notoriety as he racked up good points for the season, eventually attracting the attention of veterans of the sport, something that Jakleen is worried about. When Pecker became Blitz's co-host, in addition to investigating the crime ring behind the sport, he tended to hype up Jak on-air, only for Blitz to discredit him. Jakleen became more worried about her brother as he continued to race but she continued to race with the team.

In the race against Razer, Jakleen became more angry when she heard that her brother's car was sabotaged in a race preventing him from firing weapons; but nonetheless, he won anyway. She even complained about it. When Jak won the final race, G.T. Blitz revealed he was Mizo, and stole the antidotes, leading Jak to chase and destroy his car. Mizo chided Jak's tendency to leave his foes to die, which Jak shrugged off as Mizo's car exploded.

After celebrating his win, Rayn ran off, leaving behind a note that she had betrayed them all as she had never been poisoned, but had been using them to take over Mizo's business, meaning Jak's trust in her had been misplaced. Nonetheless, the group agreed not to worry in the short term, and after the celebration, Jakleen screamed in excitement as she watches Jak (with encouragement from Daxter) kissed Keira.

In the future, an eco shortage caused Jak, Jakleen, Daxter, and Keira to travel to the Brink a Hellcat IV search of new eco. Along the way, a group of sky pirates by Captain Phoenix, attempted to raid them for their eco, causing Jak to try to transform into Dark Jak to defend them, but doing so unsuccessfully due to the eco shortage making it unstable. Captain Phoenix therefore mistook Jak for one of the aeropans, his enemies, and tried to kill him, but Daxter scared him away with the gun turret placed on their aircraft, inadvertently forcing them to crash land on the Brink.

Keira was able to repair the ship, and after another run-in with the Sky Pirates where they attack the ACS Behemoth, Jak fought them off and was welcomed to Aeropa by its leaders, Duke Skyheed, and Chancellor Ruskin. Despite Jakleen being distrustful towards the duke, Skyheed gave Jak the eco seeker to help them find more eco, though the device was broken.

Then, Captain Phoenix attacks the building and steals both the Eco Seeker and Keira but Jakleen sneaked in the Phantom Blade. Jak and Daxter were able to get to them but, on board, Jak and Phoenix argue and tip the Eco Seeker overboard accidentally, so both return to the island once more to retrieve it from a volcanic crater. Keira intervenes and makes them call a truce and shake hands. Jakleen fell head over heels for Captain Phoenix, who became interested in her, and Jak would try to prevent it, only to cause tension and a sour relationship between the twins.

While working to repair it, Jak and Jakleen learned that the Aeropans had their own Dark Warrior Program creating dark mutants, causing him to become vengeful as he remembered what had happened to him. A castaway named Tym, whom they had met earlier, remembered that he had once worked on the program and regretted it, and told Captain Phoenix that Jak was not one of the Aeropans' dark mutant experiments but evidence that dark eco could be controlled. Jak and Phoenix then put aside their differences entirely for Jakleen and to fight against the Aeropans to stop the experiments, which made him reconcile with his sister.

In a siege on Aeropa, Jak finally met up with Skyheed, who also turned into a massive Dark Warrior while Jakleen stayed with Keira. Jak's battle with Skyheed forced him to retreat to his shielded flagship, where he attempted to drain eco from the eco core. While Jakleen used her teleportation powers to save Captain Phoenix, Jak was finally able to kill Skyheed, using a new light eco weapon made by Keira. The storms were then calmed due to the realigning and activation of the eco core, and the world was no longer in want of eco.

System Shock 1 and 2. Morrowind and Daggerfall. Fallout 1, 2, New Vegas. 4 is only carried by its mods, 3 is only worth it if you plan on playing tale of two wastelands as a mod. Dot Hack Series and Dot Hack GU bc it's more of like an onlines simulation. Dwarf Fortress. Bioshock 2. The Shantae Game Series. Encased. Atom RPG and Atom RPG Trudograd. The STALKER Series.

Donkey Kong 1994 GB Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door, any game past that doesn’t matter other than maybe Super Paper Mario. Pikmin 1 and 2 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Bomberman 64 and Bomberman 64 Second Attack (I prefer second attack as it was a great adventure topdown) Goemon Great Adventure 64 (Both the side scroller series and the third person such as Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon) Kirby Series in general. Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Reloaded was also really good for its modern takes. Banjo Kazooie and Tooie. Super Mario Bros 1-3 Celeste Taito Legends 1 n 2 Zone of the Enders 1 and 2 Jak 1 - 3 (Jak 3 arguably was the least frustrating and the best) Mobile Suit Gundam - Federation Vs. Zeon Mobile Suit Gundam - Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam Baldur’s Gate - the topdown series Icewind Dale Spyro 3 but the series in general is good, just there’s a ton of jank to 1 and 2 even if I beat them and the reignited trilogy then got burnt out a little halfway over 3. Vampire:The Masquerade - Bloodlines Warhammer Vermintide 2

BAR’s PS5 screenshots 11-3-2022: I took these ten screenshots of The Jak 3 PS4 version on my PS5 console 5 days, and I have just beaten that game again for the fourth time yesterday on my PS5 Console, which is why I wanted to post and share my ten pics of proudest moments in Jak 3 on Instagram and Tumblr after I had finished playing Jak 3, and I’m off to play Jak X Combat Racing, and because that Jak and Daxter Racing Game never got any official remaster releases on PS3 or PSVITA before getting a PS4 version later on (which I now have on my PS5 console too of course), I’m gonna take some pictures of my favorite moments in Jak X Combat Racing too both some gameplay pictures and some cutscene pictures too, and while I’ve definitely become aware of J&D Fans pointing out how Jak 2 really was back in the day, I’ve already experienced the challenging and sometimes frustrating difficulty experience of Jak 2 to realize that it indeed a lot more difficult than I remember but also I lot easier when I had to recollect Orbs in Jak 2 Hero Mode to re-unlock the Invulnerability cheat for 30 orbs surprisingly made it more fun being in that God Like Mode stylistically of course. But of course looking back on that one Cutscene where Jak had rejected Ashelin’s offer to come back to Heaven City being confusingly out of character despite winding up traveling back to Haven City at the beginning of Act 2 later on, I started to theorize that Jak rejecting Ashelin’s Haven City comeback offer cutscene and theorize three reasonable points to why Jak told Ashelin that Haven City could rot for all he cared, Jak had a Troubled and Enduring Childhood in Haven City, he was unjustly arrested by Errol and used by him and Baron Praxis to be tortured and experimented on to become a weapon of war, and he was banished by the whole city to die in the wasteland. At least that’s my J&D Fan Theory of course, and I hope you folks like it. #gamepics #jak3 #ps4 #ps5console #jakanddaxter (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkhPkjnJaI5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More stuff on the March Hare AU with Angoramon!Jak. This mainly a mismash of info on what to expect in this AU. Some important, some worldbuilding and a good chunk being random shit.

It was very difficult to find any clothes that would fit Jak's new form. Thankfully all that bulk was just super long fur so the outfit just compacts it like extra padding. Jak does get sheared on rare occasions and goes to Daxter on how to care for his fur. BTW, Daxter is getting pants way earlier than in canon.

Single driver zoomers are comfier as two or three seaters run the risk getting our big rabbit stuck. The Hover Board had to be modded since Jak's big feet make it difficult to even get on the board properly. Funnily enough, Angoramon can fly and create small twisters with their ears. Yeah, Jak became an absolute menace once he found out. If he can't highjack a zoomer then expect him using his propeller ears to get around. He visits the Precursor Temple to fly about and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The Kid/Mar prefers being in Jak's care than anyone in the Underground or Kor. You will often find this younger version of our hero piggyback riding on the giant rabbit's back or snuggled in his fur on cold days. Jak is practically a bed for Daxter, The Kid and the Crocadog 'Charlie'. He really doesn't mind one bit. Even when Mar finds out Jak is an older version of him, the kid still sees him as his big bunny brother.

Jak still has access to Dark Jak but it's way more different than his human/elven version. His dark form can peak out in his Angoramon form but the true visage comes out when he becomes a Lamortmon. THIS is Lamortmon.

You know the Wasteland Metal Heads found in the third game? Lamortmon is big enough to wrestle those suckers. This version of Dark Jak being more dangerous off the bat than in canon thanks to this Ultimate's temperament. How bad? Well, Lamort translates to 'Death'. Just know that if you offend Jak in this particular form then you better hope Daxter or the Kid is there to ring him in cause HE will maul the bloke to death.

Speaking of Jak 3, Jak and Daxter get to Spargus earlier than in canon thanks to Sig. Uncle Sig content coming up since I headcanon he's sworn siblings with Damas. Just know that our duo does jobs for Brutter exclusively except for a few rare occasions where he has to help Krew and the Underground. Jak is more empathetic to Lurkers since in a way he's more closer to them.

Lurkers call the giant rabbit 'Storm Wing' since his ears look and act more like wings specifically a storm bird's. The group stays in a nearby Lurker Village until they get fully involved with Spargus. Jak trusts Brutter and his fellow Lurkers to actually care for the Kid and Charlie.

Proper hair maintenance be upon this rabbit the moment he meets Damas. Jak can't have all his fur shaved so he gets special gel to keep him cool in the harsh desert heat. That sheared fur is used to make warm clothing and blankets. Does our Angoramon Haunted think it's weird? Yes but he rather have it be put to use.

Sig and Damas are thrown for an entire rollercoaster upon realizing who Jak really is. And yes, the King of Spargus did unknowingly adopt his own son. Realization also happens with said rabbit in the room. BTW, Jak is at least 8 ft tall. DAMAS WILL LIVE. FUCK CANON. I want awkward father-son bonding especially when the kid in question is a big tornado creating bunny.

Samos and Keira aren't going to a good time. Considering Keira took ERROL's side instead of the person she knew the most and only apologizes in Jak 3? Yeah no. Also I am using her "I don't date animals" comment. Samos' is very obvious enough but his daughter has better chance of improving herself than him.

Jak has too many things to figure out than worry about romance. That means no pairings with him throughout the story. Baron Praxis is SOOOO FUCKED. If Jak doesn't get his revenge on the Baron than Damas will. Asshole got way too much leeway in screwing both their lives.

Bunny boy getting potential Wastelander friends his age. Spargus would definitely be more reasonably friendly with the dynamic duo than Haven. Possible worldbuilding with the Maruaders and why they attack Spargus? This is something that was cut in Jak 3 for who knows why.

And that's all I got. Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Spargus.
