Joaquin Jackal

"40oz."

- Nearó

Joaquin Jackal is a Monk from, currently travelling across. Having been indoctrinated into the Shaolin Order on his island since the time of being a child, he grew up to become a talented before the monastary fell to ruin. Not knowing if he was to blame, Jackal began to wander and turned to alcohol.

Having adopted a new fighting style to the point of being a master during his years as a drunkard, the man became known as "Drunken Fist".

Appearance
With a feral figure, Jackal takes on the appearance of a man at average height with a presence to mixed with both divinity and poverty. Possessing a somewhat pious yet undomesticated atmosphere, his simple clothes, tattoos, hair and even the scars to which he's marked by, it's no wonder many find Jackal to be hard to miss. A common wielder of a stern facial expression across his face, his eyes signify a strict and intense persona. Jackal is a lean, yet muscular man that can normally be seen standing at an average height of six feet tall that carries a firm and stable posture, a feat which can strangely still be said for when he's being intoxicated by alcohol. The most notable trait, however, would be that of the man's face. While sporting a firm jawline and messy silver-like hair with a single braid on his right side reaching just below his shoulder that would make him easily recognizable amongst the crowd, it's the prominent facial scars on the right side of his face and the missing eye that's his most characteristic features. These deep cuts that permanently mark him is that of one straight cut reaching from the right side of his forehead and downwards, crossing his eye and making its way just above his jawline, slightly below the height of his mouth- followed by the two claw-like markings starting from the right ear and making its way across his mouth and the bridge of his nose. The last one being across his forehead in a diagonal pattern that slightly cuts through the thin, yet sharp, eyebrow on his left side. All of these scars are ultimately somewhat covered by his silver hair. While it serves as a constant reminder of past events, it is also because of this that Jackal is often depicted with resentment at first glance due to his features and the usual stern expression on his face that makes him appear more like a bandit than that of a monk. Even when it comes to his clothing, these superficial judgements that marks are truly justified. Clad in common garments, Jackal keeps to the tradition of the Shaolin monks that raised him, with most of his clothes sharing a common colour theme; dark and often orange or brown in terms of colour. Yet the common attire seen on monks, such as the uttarasanga which is often wrapped to cover the upper body, is in this case replaced by a robe with long sleeves and an orange chroma due to Jackal's preference for simplistic clothing that can easily be discarded. This is then followed by the antaravāsaka, the brown themed inner robe covering his lower body that's adjustable so it doesn't hang as low as the ankles, only to have a kushalaka hide inbetween the layers which serve to strap accessories to it such as a sake bottle. That's the extent of the monk's garments as he sports any pieces of footwear, something is quite visible due to the rough surface seen on not only his feet but also hands, the skin around his limbs is denser than the norm and has been hardened due to the travelling and training throughout his life.

What serves as a true testimony of his devoutness to his martial art and religion, comes in the form of his physical appearance even despite the frequent consumption of booze. The frequent exercise has honed to grant him the muscular build that he carries, with features such as his tanned skin being proof of outdoor activities and rigorous training, something which has provided him with well-toned features suitable to trade and devotion. It is very much a necessity for him however as a Zui Quan martial artist, as the number of intoxicating beverages that he consumes on a daily basis would result in both a sluggish mind and body should he ever neglect his training.

Personality






Physical Prowess
Throughout his years' training in excruciating manners to appease his faith from the time of a young boy to his now adult life, Jackal has come to possess the raw physical prowess to what could be considered to be at superhuman capabilities in terms of both strength and agility. Having become a man that places more emphasis on strength to win his battles rather than coming up with a coordinated strategy or plan, preferring to leave such matters to greater minds- he tends to instead adapt and learn throughout the course of a battle. It's due to the daily exercise and self-discipline his physical body to peak condition, providing him with the best chances at reaching new horizons and possibilities to overpower his opponent mostly through with his own brute strength via the use of a flurry of combos and body swings. Despite Jackal's exterior looks and lean appearance when compared to that of larger beings, he is more than capable of lifting and throwing something that which is several times his own size such as a building. With this degree of strength, Jackal possesses enough of it to be able to sunder solid rock beneath him to the point of causing people in his surrounding to lose their footing- making it all the more understandable for how he's able to break seastone. As a general comparsion of his would be his ability and feat to break a cubic inch of bone in half with a well-placed, concentrated strike.
