From the Viper oneshot. Jak has eagerly agreed to help catch a would-be assassin, completely oblivious to the fact that Damas is using the incident as an excuse to start training him as a potential successor. Jak just wants to get to menace people with a dead snake.

Jak Poplar, a public domain nonbinary butch pileated woodpecker punk who uses it/it's pronouns and is about to beat up a a cop. Birthday is day of creation, so April 18 2024.

Can either be a naturally anthro woodpecker in a universe with talking animals, or a cyberfurry.

I'm just going to be making a bunch of public domain characters who use it/its pronouns so there's more variety.

[ID: A digital drawing of Jak (J A K) Poplar, an original anthropomorphic pileated woodpecker character drawn from the torso up, who uses it/its pronouns. Jak has a long narrow grey beak, a spiky red crest on the back of its head, and mostly black feathers, with a white stripe going down its face and another on one wing. Jak is glaring offscreen with one visible red eye, and using one wing to cartoonily "push up the sleeve" on its other wing, revealing a grey arm with a clenched fist. Text surrounds it, reading, "Jak Poplar", "Pileated Woodpecker" "It its" "Public domain!" The background is blank white. End ID.]

Decided to compare the current WIP of Ripp with the extremely old (circa 2005-2006??) image of him I rustled up from my ol' dA account.

As much as the old drawing makes my skin itch to look at, I am LOVING just seeing the difference between the pictures.

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!

Headcanons about hairstyles and colors in Jak and Daxter series

Headcanon 1) I noticed there only a few characters that have bicolor hair: Jak, Daxter, Keira… That's genetic trait was only something common in the past, while nowadays in Haven City is something very uncomon to see. Besides, people who have bicolor hair also has more possibilities to be able to channel eco.

Headcanon 2) only Damas, Ashelin and Torn have dreadlocks, (and so does Jak in some concept arts discarded from Jak 3). So this makes me think that it is possible that this hairstyle it might be a tradition among the nobility of Haven City and/or also between important KG members. And if Jak is THE Mar, when he went to the past he started to combing his hair like that to look like as his father, and that made the members of his lineage started to combing his hair like that to and also the Guard he founded. This tradition, however, finished when Baron Praxis took the throne, but still a few KGs and nobles kept that hairstyle, Ashelin did it in honor to Damas, and Torn as a symbol of rebellion and loyalty to the City.

Headcanon 3) Damas has no white hair because he's old (he looks like around 45, not around 70 like Samos), he has white hair because it's a genetic trait that heired since he was born, same with his violet eyes. It was common between Mar's blood direct descendants to get married with channelers, sages and people from ancient families, so the result of their heirs was sometimes people with very curious traits.

Art for one of the latest installments of the Ottsel!Erol series on AO3 In this week's episode: Keira gets to lay eyes on the new and 'improved' Comander Erol E. Errol the third.

Spoiler alert: she does not like what she sees.

[miqojak]

What do they notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at them?

It's hard to know, exactly, what other people notice first about her - I'd say her tattoos, but hilariously they're most often hidden, despite how large they seem to be, and how they're all over the place, ha! But if she's got all her body art covered, it's no doubt just her face! Her bright orange highlights, maybe all the piercings in her ears, or the artfully placed ones on her cheeks, or under her mouth... Jak is unique in presentation, and realized all too late how much more difficult that could make a life of crime - but she relishes few things as much as a challenge, and enjoys few things more than the thought of notoriety! So a part of her wants to stick in the viewer's mind - she's beautiful, and exotic, and intimidating; she's an experience, not a person - like a close encounter with a tiger that you speak of in breathless tones, afterwards. What she notices first tends to be the more dysphoric things, in her mind - how her body doesn't match her mind. How she should bear scars for her suffering, but even that was taken from her - and almost all the Garleans are gone, now. Where does the blame go? Will the hate and dysphoria abate when they're gone? Not in her experience. She tries not to let it eat at her too much, these days, but for all her ego and the massive god complex... well, "even gods are flawed," she might say. The scars she now bears are new, and a testament to something else important to her - but they don't erase the fact that Garlemald erased their wrong-doing from her skin, and it haunts her. tl;dr She sees someone else in the mirror; the past is hard to drown.
