Biography:
Being born on Planet Manhattan may have its many advantages, but when your father is murdered in front of you during a robbery gone sideways, your world turns upside down.
Jackson Thoms is the only child of Marcus Thoms of New London and Jessica Ames of Manhattan. Marcus and Jessica met one chilled winter’s eve at a small bar in the heart of Manhattan and from the moment he laid eyes on her from across the bar, Marcus was smitten with her. He had come to Manhattan looking for a fresh start and to pursue his dream of opening a small electronics repair shop. A few years down the road, with his business booming and thoughts of expanding on the horizon he finally asked Jessica to marry him. Not far down the road, and only a year into their marriage, they were pleasantly surprised when Jessica got the news that she was pregnant with a boy. From the moment Marcus heard the news he could only think of one name to give the child. He wanted him to grow old with a strong name, and what better name to give him than that of his own father. The elder Jackson Thoms had spent his years in the outer reaches of Sirius making a name for himself as a so called “jack of all trades” before suddenly passing while home with his family on New London.
As the younger Jackson Thoms grew, he heard tales of his grandfather and his exploits in the far reaches of Sirius while sitting at night with his father while they played hand after hand of cards. By the age of ten, Jackson now challenged his father’s skill at cards and soon earned himself the nickname “Black Jack”.
All through his school years, wanting to impress and make his parents proud, Jackson always earned the highest of grades. To keep himself busy and to better himself, he occupied his time at the local gym and hand to hand combat training center learning the finer intricacies of both fighting and self defense.
After finishing school and leaving for college to study criminology and military protocols, Jackson enrolled in flight school and soon was top of his class. He was placed into an advanced combat flight and evasive maneuvering course where he was again excelling and showing that he had the skills and the knowledge to surpass any obstacle placed before him. Sadly, a week before his graduation his father had decided to take a different route home in hopes to catch another shop before it closed for the evening. Little did he know that the one little change would be his last. Marcus was stabbed seven times while trying to fight off two men who wanted his credits to feed their growing Cardamine habit. Jackson was crushed by the news and felt utterly lost on the stage staring at the empty seat next to his mother during the graduation ceremony.
Now with credentials in hand and a love of Liberty in his heart, Jackson now only hopes that it is all enough to make his father proud once more by joining the elite men and women defending Liberty from her enemies in the Liberty Navy.
