DJ:Human/Nightstalker
About the Character
Name: Phinius Darrel Jackson II
Alias: DJ
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Alliance: Nightstalker
Occupation: Weapons tech specialist, vampire hunter, and hacker
Physical Appearance: When people hear tech specialist, even if it is in weapons they usually think geek, so to say that they are surprised when they met DJ for the first time is an understatement. DJ is far from the stereotype of short and scrawny, standing 6’1” tall and weighing 184 lbs, he is built like a soldier ready for anything. With a body that’s ripped and toned from years of military school and his own brand of personal training, DJ can take on even the biggest and baddest of vamps and do some serious damage. He doesn’t flaunt it though he’s usually dressed in slightly bagging jeans and tee shirts that don’t fit to snug, also known for wearing a black knit toque even when it’s not cold (usually on days when he’s not in the mood to deal with the hair). Then there’s the tattoos. The one on DJ’s left bicep is a Taurus, his birth sign. On his right arm is a symbol for "family" and the word "loyalty", and then on his right ankle are the letters W, V and D - for DJ’s siblings, Wallace, Vivian, and Dennison.
He has short, spike brown hair and usually his face is scruffy, not that’s he’s trying to grow a beard he just usually forgets to shave when he’s focused on his work. The most predominant feature are his mischievous blue-green eyes that always seem to have a glint in them, but that doesn’t mean that they are not clouded by anger or pain sometimes, he’s just really good at hiding his emotions. His eyes are framed with heavy dark brown eyebrows that are often furrowed in thought when he’s busy doing a hack, creating a new weapon or whipping someone’s ass at Playstation. His nose is nothing out of the ordinary, not to big, not to small, but just right for his almost heart shaped face. As for his mouth it is often graced with a sneaky grin, but as of late that grin has been making an appearance less and less.
Personal Effects: A swiss army knife his younger sister Vivian gave to him for his birthday after their father enrolled him in military school, it’s engraved with the words “Smart Ass” which was what his nickname amongst his siblings for most of his teen years.
Weapon(s): What doesn’t this boy arm himself with, but he does have a few favorites are sundogs, another semi-automatic gun he created that fires bullets filled with liquid silver called purifiers, and grenades that anchor to whatever they hit with sharp metal barbs and then explode with silver shards and uv light.
Modeled After: Chris Evans
Personality Desc.: Sarcastic, no respect for authority, lazy, smart ass, no good, blah, blah, blah. These are the things he heard about himself growing up, not that they aren’t true he is some if not all of those things but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t also dedicated, loyal, and passionate about what he believes in. Growing up the family moved around and DJ’s way of making friends was being the class clown, students were instantly attracted to his sense of humor and his hysterical impressions of teachers and those in charge. Sure he was always in trouble for interrupting classes but he could usually talk his way out of any type of punishment, that’s because behind the sharp wit was a genius IQ. He loved learning but didn’t want anyone else to know, so he hid it and still does sometimes with a joke, a wink and a smile.
There’s so much more to him though, behind the sly smile and naughty twinkle in his eye lies a man with a broken soul, he’s lost a lot in his short life and although he doesn’t often show his vulnerable side it’s there just lurking beneath the surface. He is fiercely loyal to the Nightstalkers and is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good of humanity. Once he gives his word he never goes back on it, and when he lets himself care about someone he dives in wholeheartedly. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his share of meaningless and (in his mind) harmless flings. Also a warning to anyone foolish enough to enter his work station at Nightstalker headquarters, you might experience hearing lose thanks to his love of loud music, his favorite groups including System of a Down, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Nine Inch Nails to name a few.
History: Growing up a military brat wasn’t easy. You’d just make some friends and then you’d have to move again, your father is never off the job because even at home he addresses you as if you’re in the corps, and well your parents decided to name you after you’re great grandfather Phinius who was a war hero. Growing up sucked for DJ but he did it his way.
The second youngest of four kids, Phinius Darrel Jackson II was the type of kid that always had an smart ass answer for everything, so much so that he was affectionately known as Smart Ass to his siblings. There was a reason to his mouthy ways though, it made people, well other kids, laugh. Every time the family moved to another base Phin had to start all over again, in the beginning he didn’t fit in because of how smart he was but by the time he was ten and the family had moved for the fourth time Phin figured the easiest and fastest way to make friends was by becoming the class clown, and he was good at it. An added bonus was that no one knew how smart he was so instead of being the geek with no friends or life, he was invited to every birthday party and everyone wanted to hang out with him. The downside was the trouble he got into, most of the time he could talk his way out of any sort of punishment but there was times when he had gone to far and his father would be called in. The general couldn’t understand why is youngest son acted this way, his older brothers adjusted fine every time they moved and even his younger sister was doing fine in the new school. Phin couldn’t explain to his hard headed father how hard it was to make friends when you’re the smartest kid in class, and father and son would continue to collide and fight as they moved yet again and Phin’s behavior became worse.
On Phin’s thirteenth birthday he got a present that he never wanted, his father enrolled him in Trenton Academy, a military school located in West Virginia. The family was now living in Colorado, and a shocked and hurt Phin refused to go but at his mother’s pleading he caved and his father happily shipped off his “problem” child. Phin hated the school upon arrival and his smart mouth and flippant attitude did not impress anyone, not the instructors or his fellow students, at first because every time he cracked a joke or rolled his eyes they all got punished. He learned quickly not to mouth off in class to instead use his intellect for good, he became a model student in class and when he wasn’t in class he used his brains to come up with plans on how to smuggle things into the school and how to get other students out of the school to party without getting caught. It was also at Trenton that he discovered his love for weapons, and honed his hacking skills.
Although Phin learned how to cope while living at the military school he never had any plans for going into the military, much to the general’s dismay because when Phin graduated he didn’t enlist as his father had hoped but got a job creating video games for a small but up and coming company in Los Angeles called Demon X Tech. His father was enraged and they got into a huge fit where some pretty terrible things were said and Phin was disowned for disgracing the family according to his father. He was cut off completely, and although he had a hard time at first Phin landed on his feet like he always did, this is when he stopped going by his full given name and began getting those around him to call him DJ.
So how did he going from blissfully making video games to making weapons and fighting vampires? Well that’s an unpleasant story to re-account but a necessary one for you to completely understand him. DJ’s older brother’s had enlisted in the marines while he was still going to school at Trenton, Wallace was forced to return home after a six month special opts mission in Egypt. He was barely alive and reused to speak about what happened. He kept asking for DJ and when he went to visit him in the hospital he immediately knew that something wasn’t right, the curtains were drawn and Wallace was very pale and something in his eyes was off. Wallace told his brother he didn’t want to go home to their parents place so DJ told him he could stay with him for as long as he needed, DJ was doing really well for himself and he didn’t mind the company, he also wanted to know what was different about his brother. While staying with DJ, Wallace’s strength came back and he seemed to be getting better. DJ was working really long and late hours trying to complete a game, and so he couldn’t watch Wallace every minute of every day. When the brother’s did see each other Wallace put up a good front for DJ, and DJ although something was still bugging him allowed himself to believe his Wallace’s lies. Things would become clear the night when Vivian would come to visit her two favorite brother’s. DJ was at work when he got a frantic phone call from his younger sister, she had traveled to LA to surprise them and had discovered Wallace’s terrible secret.
While in Egypt his troop had been lured in and killed by a group of female vampires, Wallace had escaped but not before being bitten. The bite wasn’t enough to fully change him so he lived in some sort of limbo and that’s why he wanted to live with DJ because he knew his brother was so busy with work that he wouldn’t notice the hours he was keeping. When Vivian arrived in LA she went to DJ’s condo and found the door open, when she entered she found Wallace feeding off of some poor girl. Vivian took off and called DJ from a pay phone two blocks from the condo, what she was saying didn’t make sense and DJ dropped everything to rush home. When he arrived he found Wallace sitting on the couch holding Vivian’s limp body in his arms in his arms, he was shaking and when he saw DJ he begged his brother to understand she was hysterical and he was just trying to quiet her. Wallace had smothered Vivian to death, seeing the confusion and anger in DJ’s eyes he drop her lifeless body and rushed past DJ’s fleeing. DJ scooped up his sister and as he reached for the phone to call 911, he saw the blood and the girl’s body, he knew that whatever he told the police they wouldn’t believe him and so as much as it killed him he also fled leaving everything he loved behind.
He used his skills as a hacker to find out what the police had discovered, he of course was a suspect but it was what the coroner recorded about the other girl that made DJ rethink everything about his brother. Living in LA you heard and saw some strange things, including whispers about vampires. DJ had never really believed but what was in the coroners report made him and he began researching everything about vampires that he could find. He shifted through the myths and fiction, and discovered that in reality silver, fire, sunlight, uv light, and garlic were the only things that killed and harmed vampires. He then created a line of weapons that he hoped would work because he was going to find Wallace even if it took the rest of his life and make things right.
Six months past of him hunting down his older brother, he killed any vamp he encountered but not before getting info about Wallace. It seemed his brother was making quiet a name for himself in the vampire underground and so was DJ, he was a fierce hunter who showed no mercy and so when he finally located Wallace he used all of his knowledge and skills he had perfected to bring justice to Vivian. The fight between the brothers was brutal, at one point DJ blacked out and almost never got up from being thrown across the alleyway into a brick wall where the two of them were fighting, but when it was all over Wallace was nothing but dust and DJ was left empty and without a reason to live. It would be his reputation that would bring the Nightstalkers into his life, he worked for them making weapons but was never really part of the group until Abbi came to invite him to join.
