## Description

### Species

Human Flexible Jackrabbit (Digital World)

## Appearance

Jax appears to be a purple-colored cartoon rabbit whose design evokes the look of early cartoon characters, also known as "rubber hose" characters. He has long purple ears on top of his head, and his overall build is tall and slender. Jax's eyes have yellow sclera, with square black pupils. Jax's yellow teeth usually have a flat shape to them, but when his mouth is opened, his teeth appear sharp and jagged (or if taken context of that scene, it also can be a one-time thing purely made for comedic purposes.)

Jax wears light pink-colored overalls and pale yellow gloves. His overalls have yellow buttons on them and also has a single rectangular pocket on the front.

## Personality

Jax is a mischievous, laid-back, calm, sassy, impulsive, egotistical, and brazenly condescending individual, and rarely shows any empathy or remorse for those around him. He is indifferent to his imprisonment within the Digital Circus, an attitude that extends to his interactions with others. His dismissal of serious matters is evident when, after asking a rhetorical question concerning Pomni's handling of their predicament and giving Ragatha a smug look, he replies to her ensuing query about why he's looking at her in such a manner with a dismissive: "I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people."

Jax's lack of care for others is further emphasized when he maliciously steps on Gangle's already broken comedy mask, or when he throws a bowling ball at Kinger and Gangle for his purposes of hiding from an abstracted Kaufmo. He pays little mind to the opinions of others and the group's consensus does not concern him. Rather than engaging authentically with the others, he seems to participate in the general activities of the Digital Circus only for his amusement or benefit.

Despite his occasional bouts of rash, impetuous behavior, like breaking a digital 'Spare' sign for no rational reason, he normally maintains an unexpectedly calm and composed demeanor. Yet, his flattery is generally insincere and often borders on outright insult.

Arguably, Jax is inherently selfish, only spurred into action against the Gloinks when they begin to pester him. Even when the Gloink Queen accuses him of continuing to observe the unfolding events despite deeming them 'dumb and weird', he responds by saying, 'I'm only here to hide from the-' only to be interrupted by an abstracted Kaufmo abruptly crashing into the Gloink Queen's lair; his phrasing potentially insinuating a singular concern for his well-being.

## Biography

### "PILOT"

Jax is first introduced in the opening song, in which Pomni knocks into him, knocking over Kinger who falls onto Gangle. Upon seeing Pomni, he asks Caine if she is another one of his NPCs or a "New Sucker", saying that they will need to redo the whole theme song if so. Jax dryly eggs Pomni on when she tries in vain to pull off her nonexistent headset. Shortly after, Jax explains to Pomni that there is really no way to leave, remarking that Kinger has been there the longest, and is going crazy as a result. Jax, while asking Caine if they're having a new adventure, walks over and steps on Gangle's broken comedy mask, making it let out another crunch and making Gangle sob. After returning from her tour and saying she saw an exit, Jax dismisses Pomni's statement, explaining how if there was an exit, they'd already have left, all the while swiping Zooble's right arm and using it to scratch his back, getting strangled by said arm shortly afterwards. Later, he grumbles that he "said that like five minutes ago" when Caine agrees that they should have a brand-new adventure for the newly-named Pomni.

After Zooble gets stolen by some Gloinks, he brushes it off, asking if Ragatha and Pomni wanted to go get something to eat. Later, after Kinger says that Kaufmo had been going insane, he teases Pomni that she might also be going insane for wanting to find an exit like him. He then breaks the fourth wall by remarking to the audience after Pomni expresses her wish to talk to the clown, saying that she's still thinking the Circus is a dream. After getting hit on the head by a stray Gloink, he pairs himself up with Ragatha and Pomni to go check on Kaufmo, and pairs Gangle and Kinger up to go get Zooble. After Kaufmo doesn't open the door, Jax states that he has a key to all their rooms, and that he has left a centipede in Ragatha's room, shortly before unlocking the clown's door.

Upon unlocking the door, Jax, Ragatha, and Pomni are greeted by an abstracted Kaufmo. Jax thanks Kaufmo for holding onto a bowling ball, takes it, and runs off, leaving Ragatha and Pomni.

Jax later finds Gangle and Kinger looking at what they call "The Zooble Hole", completely out of breath and panting, having run away from Kaufmo. After giving a sarcastic update on Kaufmo's state, Jax then throws the bowling ball at the pair, sending both of them tumbling down as he jumps after them. After kicking a stray bowling pin and breaking a 'Spare' sign irritably, they are all then greeted by the Gloink Queen, as the hole ends up being her nest. He antagonizes The Gloink Queen, until they spot Zooble, who asks the three to help them, calling them "idiots". Jax says that he doesn't wanna help Zooble anymore.

Gangle and Kinger play rock-paper-scissors to see who will get Zooble, in which Kinger, who wins, tries to grab onto Zooble's head but his hands simply detach along with the former. After Kaufmo falls on The Gloink Queen, Kinger gets Zooble's head, and Jax remarks casually to an alarmed Gangle that Kaufmo's Abstracted. Jax, Zooble, Kinger, and Gangle all leave on the escalator afterwards, in which Jax says "ladies first" to Gangle, and then pushes her out of the way, questioning why he would say that. Jax can be seen in the end scene eating the digital feast with the other performers.

## Trivia

* Gooseworx stated on Twitter that Jax is her favorite character, calling him an "awful boy". She also claims to be a simp for Jax when asked "How did you felt about the Jax simps?", responding "I'm one of them."
	+ During the GlitchX 2023 AMA, Gooseworx said that "[Jax] couldn't not be my favorite, because I specifically designed him to be everything I like in characters. I like terrible characters."
* Gooseworx confirmed that Jax is 22, being the youngest in the circus. Zooble is also 22 but half a year older.
* Gooseworx had also confirmed that no one in the circus likes Jax.
* Jax is one of four characters that appear in more than one "Meet the Character" shorts, with him being in his own and Gangle's. The other three are Bubble (who appears in Kinger's and his own), Ragatha (who appears in Jax's and her own), and Caine (who appears in the same shorts as Bubble).
* Jax apparently owns "keys to everything" as stated by himself in the pilot when unlocking the door to Kaufmo's room. However, it is never elaborated on as to how he obtained these keys. Although, none of the doors have keyholes. (Including Kaufmo's.)
* The (so far) only time his teeth have been shown separate is when Zooble is strangling him.
	+ On every other occasion, his teeth are stuck together as "one," and don't move when he's talking.
* When asked to describe Jax as a song, Gooseworx replied with Don't Fence Me In (Bonelab OST), but it is unknown if it genuinely relates to Jax or not.
* According to Gooseworx, Jax is a "highly impulsive jerk wad".
* Jax along with Caine are the only characters to break the Fourth Wall, with Jax staring directly at the camera and commenting "She still thinks it's a dream" after Pomni tries to assure herself she's dreaming.
* In one of the teaser images in which he is next to Pomni and Caine is a reference of the iconic photos of **John Lennon** doing his funky walk with **Yoko Ono** along the *Rue d'Antibbes* during the *Cannes Film Festival, 1971*.
* In an early concept, it was planned for Jax to be female.
	+ Doodlebloom asked about this gender change for Jax and Pomni, with the answer being it "never really 'happened' and was just a consideration once" but was simply dropped.
* According to GlitchX 2023:
	+ Jax's design was inspired by **Popee** from *Popee the Performer*, because Gooseworx is a big fan of the show and she wanted a psychopathic rabbit character like Popee in her show.
	+ When Gooseworx first reached out to Kovach, she asked him to do a voice like that of **Raggedy Andy** for Jax.
	+ Kovach mentioned that he didn't want to copy Raggedy Andy's voice exactly because it has a "soft and uplifting" sound, so he toughened it up and made it a bit more vulgar in attitude, while keeping it carefree.
	+ Kovach asked Gooseworx if Jax brushes his teeth because "they're kinda yellow", to which she responded, "There's no way Jax brushes his teeth. Look at those things!"
	+ Jax chose his own name and came up with Gangle's name.
	+ When asked about the characters' favorite foods, Kovach suggested that spaghetti be Jax's favorite food. Gooseworx accepted the suggestion, saying "Jax loves spaghetti."
* Jax is said to be afraid of corn, to which Gooseworx responded that it reminds him of the farm.
	+ When asked about what Jax has in his overall pocket, Gooseworx claims that he has mulch, a material applied to the surface of soil, and is commonly used in gardening and agriculture.
* Jax is said to be the first character to know exactly what swimsuit he would wear.
