History: Rumor has it Jack was born on a small island in the middle of the grand line to a middle class family who has had a history of entertainment, yet for the most part their magicians were average and never grew into famous people or become friend with powerful/famous people. The parents of Jack figured that he as well would grow to be either a middle class man or an average magician such as his ancestors, but Jack had no desire to be either or as his desires lay in the direction of jokes and tricks. When he had reach the age of ten Jack ran away from his home to join a group of thieves that found his slight of hand talents to be useful, this allowed Jack to gain access to the ways of a rouge which helped him learn how to pick locks and to be far more acrobatic than any normal magician.
He lived with the group of thieves for about five years and focused on their arts of acrobatic skills, lock picking, close combat, and dagger play so that he was now so good with such things he could get out of any locked place he ended up in. Could juggle daggers and other items with the greatest of ease, and throw them quite accurately. But he knew he was a magician and knew that while all those other things were fun he had a flare for showing people a good time, when he was with the thieves he would steal different props, clothing, and guides to learn his family trade and become good with the art of illusion and did what no other Lantern ever did. He became an expert in the field as he learned why they were so average, their way of learning was too closed and strict to allow their minds to be inventive and engaging enough to pull off good tricks.
By the age of eighteen he left the group of thieves he lived with for so many years to start out on his own, but the one thing that he took with him was a small box that he got from the last big hist he did with his old family of thieves. He didn't know what was in it but knew that the boss insisted he have it as a reward for all the good work, when Jack finally picked the lock on the small box he found a really weird fruit and said,
"Now either I am seeing things......or this fruit got weird marks all over it..........eh screw it I'm hungry and if I die.......well time for a good scare for who ever comes by." Jack quickly ate the fruit up in a few bites but when he did he gagged and held his throat as he said,
"OH GOD IT TASTE LIKE SPINACH, BROCCOLI, AND LIVER GROUND UP AND LET TO FERMENT FOR A WEEK. ACK!!!" Jack rolled around on the ground trying to get the taste to go away but no dice it was in there good.
When he finally got over the horrible flavor he stood up and noticed something shining on his hand, he quickly looked at the thing only to see it was his own finger that was shining and it was made of something crystal like. It took him about two days to learn it was diamonds and when he did he knew that he ate a cursed fruit, to which he only said, "
God damn it....now I can't swim and I glitter like a disco ball in the sunlight......but at least ladies will like me for the bling........wait......hmm better make sure they don't try to break pieces off me.......cause that would hurt." Jack didn't mind one bit as well if he was going to be a diamond man then so be it, now he did have to fight the navy quite a few times and knew that staying on land would only end up getting him caught in time so he took to the seas with just a small boat and some supplies.
He is more or less a good pirate but he always scares the hell out of people when he starts to go all angry and beats things up to a bloody pulp or clawing it apart with his hands, all in all who ever gets him to join their crew better be careful not to let him near the explosives as pyrotechnics were a major thing for magicians. That applies to him fully as he loves a good explosion and other pretty things as well, he even set a barn on fire with a fire cracker which was funny as all get out as well it funny to destroy with a little dinky fire cracker.
Personality: Jack's personality is a bit off centered in his mind due to how well some humans are just crazier than others in certain ways, his personality mostly focus on him having fun and doing the weird stuff that others won't do. He'll even yell out random things to serious situations, he is actually quite nice it just due to his unstable mind he can go a bit crazy on someone and kill a person. This normally happens only during a fight or any other time he is being forced into a highly stressful situation, but normally he calms down after a little while and is back to his happy if crazy self once more.
He will try to cheer up people as much as he can though at times he will accidentally creep a person out instead with his actions, he doesn't get sad really though as seeing him depressed is rare as he only has happy and angry mostly. The only time one could get him depressed is to find a way to rip away everything that makes him happy at once, if you don't do it all at once you mostly just going to make him upset as hell. He is actually pretty smart but doesn't like to let others know it as acting stupid makes people not have high standards for him, thus he can goof off and have more fun far far more often. When in a fight though Jack is pretty much kill kill kill based as he will go all out to rip a person into tiny chunks with his weapons no matter what the cost.
Devil Fruit: Naiya Naiya no Mi
type: Paramecia
effect: The Naiya Naiya no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that gives it's eater the ability to turn their skin as hard as diamond, this raises defense and strength exponentially.
Special Abilities: He is very good with explosives of all kinds but mostly bombs, he is pretty fast as well as very acrobatic so he is a tough sucker to hit. His physical strength is pretty high for a guy with his body structure. To add onto that he is a very good juggler. He is also very good at cleaning out blood stains, which happens when he blows stuff up or throws knives into people. He got good throwing accuracy and range too so fear his throwing skills, his close range fighting is good as well due to his extensive use of his body to work and so he trained it well for fighting as well.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25): Burrow: Jack changes his hands into diamonds but makes the fingers claw like in a way, he then uses them to dig into any substance he needs to. Be it used to dig underground, dig through rocks and rubble, or dig through the chest cavity of a poor living being.
Disco Spin: Jack turns his entire body into diamonds then spins rapidly in place on his feet at high speeds, when any solid or light based range attack hits it the spin will cause range attack to bounce off back at the person who fired it with the same force and speed. Also very good for dances when lights are placed on him.
Dazzling streak: Jack gets down on all fours as he sort of walks around like some weird bestial animal, he causes his fingers to be sharp and claw like so he can climb on walls and such thanks to the fingers digging into the object. He will then leap and run at people at high speeds to tackle them down and claw at them while they are pinned down, he will try to dodge attacks as he does this to avoid damage. The amount of his body he turns into diamond is based on the danger of doing this attack, more dangerous more diamond skin.
Flying daggers: Jack will grab all the knives he has and throw them at a person to help keep them suppressed and due to him being trained magician he always seems to have more knives than you would think. This is also good for taking care of grunts who try to rush him.
Big Bang Boom: Jack will juggle ten round bombs in his hands before he starts to throw them all over the place at just the right time to ensure the bomb explodes just when it needs to, this is good for clearing a room out FAST.
Spin Kick: Jack flips himself onto his hands before turning his body into diamonds and rapidly spinning around on the ground with his legs spread out perfectly to help mow down many targets at once, it very handy as well as a great dance move as it does impress the ladies.
Shining Meteor: Jack will get up as high as he can in an location by means of climbing onto things as well as by jumping as high as he possibly can, when he does that he will turn into pure diamonds and curl up into a cannon ball of sorts. With this when he hits the ground where he is aiming he does a ton of damage, this can be used with a cannon to launch him at something as well so be warned.
Weapons/Items: Smoke Bombs, TNT, Bombs, and Knives
Goals: To enjoy his life how he sees it and to spread his own version of joy to the world.......by force if needed.
