Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is one of the former friends of Will Vandom before he lost her memories and was the former Mentor of the Four Heroes before the Dark Mother.

He was one of the main protagonists of the previous story.

According to Weekyle15, he will only appear in flashbacks and will not return to this fanfiction, with Will Vandom being the only main character to appear in both series.

He is both a talented archaeologist and a skilled martial artist who lives in San Francisco with his older relative, "Uncle".

Jackie's idyllic life of exploring ancient tombs and long lost temples in the study of past civilizations is one day disrupted when he is recruited as an agent by Captain Black of Section 13 to prevent the Dark Hand from acquiring the Twelve Talismans.

Concurrently, Jackie is introduced to his 12-year-old niece (actually his first cousin once removed), Jade, who is sent by her parents to study under him, further complicating matters.

Despite his initial reluctance to involve himself in the hunt to retrieve the Talismans, Jackie ultimately finds himself on the frontlines after acknowledging just how serious of a threat his opponents pose to the world.

## Appearance

Jackie is a man in his mid-thirties with an average stature and a "solid" build.

His features include a square jaw, wide nose, soft, brown eyes with thick eyebrows, and short black hair.

His most common outfit consists of a light blue sweater, tan trousers, and brown running shoes.

When his underwear was accidentally revealed, they were pink with a red heart pattern.

Jackie is also often seen wearing his archaeologist's garb: a white, sleeveless undershirt, khaki button-up long sleeve shirt, cargo pants and a sturdy pair of hiking boots.

He occasionally wears a stealth uniform for covert operations, which is a dark gray sweater, black jeans and boots, and gloves.

As a child, Jackie had a much skinnier build and wider eyes.

He wore an outfit very similar to his current one.

He formerly had a scar on his elbow until Jade traveled back in time and saved him from the fall that gave him the wound, after which the scar disappeared.

## Personality

Jackie is mild-mannered, modest, humble and conservative in nature.

He is cautious and does not like to take unnecessary risks, although circumstances often force him to do otherwise.

Jackie is polite and respectful of others, and he is loving and patient towards his uncle and niece.

When those close to him are hurt, he often experiences anger and strikes out against his enemies.

He is fiercely protective of Jade, demanding that she stay back on missions as they are "too dangerous."

Although resourceful and well educated in regards to history and martial arts, Jackie can be too trusting of others, which often leads to trouble.

He is generally optimistic and mellow, although when things grow dire he has shown incredible decisiveness.

When Jackie is separated by the Tiger Talisman into two separate beings, his personality changes dramatically.

His light "yin" side is a pacifist and innocent in nature, yet weak-minded and too sensitive.

His dark "yang" side is fight-loving, selfish, and rude, but possesses more foresight and can be helpful at times.

## Skills & Abilities

Jackie is a skilled martial artist that could rival the Ninja Turtles, and is very agile, but would prefer not to fight evil forces unless he has no choice.

Capable of thinking and acting on his feet to make use of whatever is available in dire situations, Jackie is best known for his acrobatic fighting styles, comedic timing, improvised weapons and innovative stunts.

Jackie has an adaptive and agile fighting style, which is based off of Kung Fu techniques.

Though he has been defeated by a few enemies (such as Tohru, Hak Foo, and the Dark Chi Warriors) in their first encounters, he is able to adapt to each of their fighting styles in order to defeat them in later encounters.

Only rarely Jackie uses more aggressive fighting maneuvers (such as high-flying kicks), preferring dodging and milder attacks.

He uses them mostly against stronger opponents or when he's angry.

But his *yang* form employs them more often.

Jackie has also shown stamina and a certain amount of strength (such as when he carried a bathtub up the stairs on his back, or transported four people's luggage up a mountain.)

In one episode Jackie split two stacks of bricks in half, sending a shockwave that rippled through the ground in a short radius.

Arguably, Jackie's greatest assets are his speed and quick reflexes.

He frequently catches vases and other antiques from crashing to the floor after Uncle (or other characters) knocks them over, and he has been shown to catch up with speeding cars.

In addition to his prowess in unarmed combat, Jackie has shown great resourcefulness and competitiveness in the use of weapons, often using whatever props that are locally available to aid him in his fights.

(eg, windshield-wipers, soup ladles, crutches, toothbrush, wooden plank, Mop handle, scuba divers Flipper, Naginata,)

His occupation as an archaeologist made him knowledgeable in various cultures and artifacts.

## Weakness

Despite his great fighting prowess and attempts to be cautious, Jackie often acts so recklessly that he often hurts his fists when punching unintended objects (such as a brick wall or a metal pole), or otherwise hurts himself.

He also seems to be rather susceptible to pain, as he often yelps loudly when he hurts himself.

These instances tend to distract him so that his opponents manage to take advantage of it.
