Jackrabbit

## History

Born in Chicago, Illinois; Earthrealm, under the name Alice Kane, Jackrabbit was born to a young, homeless mother who was incapable of caring for him. He was put into the foster care system as an infant, and was taken in by the Errickson family, an older couple who had never had kids of their own. Jackrabbit grew up as the perfect, gifted, golden child. His foster mother put a lot of pressure on him to be perfect, and poor grades were punished harshly. At age fourteen, he began questioning his sexuality and gender identity, which only upset his mother more. The confusion and abuse, along with undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder, drove young Jackrabbit into a deep depression. On his fifteenth Birthday, he attempted to end his own life by jumping from the roof of the apartment complex they lived in.

He awoke in the ICU, somehow still alive despite all his broken bones and head trauma. As it turned out, passers-by had called 911 and had him taken to the hospital, but the doctors had been unable to identify who he was or who to contact regarding his injuries. He waited until he was in a stable condition, feigning memory loss to avoid telling the nurses who he was. After a few days of stability, he broke out of the hospital, killing several nurses in the process before setting fire to the ER and records room. Escaping the blaze, he cut his hair and began presenting himself as a boy named Allen. He was assumed dead by authorities, and therefore was never pursued.

In his teenage years spent homeless, Allen became addicted to methamphetamine and tobacco. After years going in and out of various social groups, he had a sort of epiphany. It became clear, in his mind, that all life was worthless in a decaying, dysfunctional society. He became a violent anarchist, using his knowledge of machinery and programming to start a series of bombings around America. As his infamy grew, he became known as "the Jackrabbit Killer" or "the Jackrabbit Bomber" by various media outlets. The name came from his strange ability to always avoid capture by authorities, somehow always escaping any chase or pursuit. In his string of terrorist attacks, he caught the attention of Kano, who began using his connections to various drug dealers across the US to hunt down Jackrabbit, wanting to recruit him. He tracked the terrorist for several months before finally cornering him in Santa Cruz, California. After killing JR's friend Jack, Kano finally kidnapped and drugged seventeen-year-old Allen in order to get him to 'sit still' and offer him a job. He accepted, and this was his indoctrination into the Black Dragon.

At age nineteen, he began a sexual relationship with Kano with what was supposed to be just a one night stand. Both of them being drunk, Jackrabbit wasn't concerned about his secret being exposed. But after their hookup, Kano demanded Jackrabbit become his possession, threatening to expose him as transgender if he refused. Jackrabbit, being enamored with Kano, was completely fine with this.

He rose through the BD ranks quickly, becoming the head scientist, hacker, and weapons engineer to Kano. Word quickly got around that he was sleeping with this boss, and rumors spread that he had only gained these positions through his sexual relationship with the boss. Because of this and his irritating, combative personality, he became hated by most members of the Black Dragon aside from Kano. The boss used his "ownership" to its full capacity, turning Jackrabbit into an expensive sex worker on top of his many other jobs. His meth addiction became worse as he was overworked, often going days without eating or sleeping.

## Since the Worlds Collided

When Kano began working with Leon Turner, he would keep Jackrabbit close by his side at all times. This led the president to question time and time again if they had some kind of romantic relationship, but Kano always insisted it was "just business."

He stayed by Kano for a long time, helping him during the invasion of Cordis Die and many other events. He was even taken hostage during the Multiversal Wedding, which was one of Kano's first demonstrations of actually caring for JR's safety. As time went on, Kano became more and more possessive, even going so far as to torture Obi Wan Kenobi for accusing him of abuse. While Jackrabbit's love for Kano was known by everyone, most had never considered the idea of Kano returning those feelings.

Upon meeting and being prostituted to Dio Brando, Jackrabbit's life took a turn. Dio offered Kano a large sum of money in exchange for ownership of Jackrabbit, and Kano quickly got an idea. The two formulated a plan to scam Dio, pretending to sell him, taking the money, then Jackrabbit killing Dio off and escaping back to Kano. Jackrabbit agreed, having done much crazier, but soon after had a mental breakdown over his boss, whom he loved, selling him to a vampire as a sex slave. He spent some time hanging out with Luck Volitia, spending what he expected to be his last night of freedom with a friend. When he was handed off to Dio and taken to his home, the vampire questioned the bruises on Jackrabbit's arms, which he admitted had come from Kano. Upon seeing this, Dio promised he would keep Jackrabbit to himself, giving him a better life far away from the Black Dragon. They began a relationship, and Jackrabbit was enthralled to have found someone who would take care of him and treat him like a human being.

After refusing to go through with Kano's plan to scam Dio, the crimelord kidnapped his former employee and took him to the Black Dragon HQ to be tortured. He branded his back with the Black Dragon insignia and sent a picture to Dio in order to taunt him. Enraged, Dio, along with Kars and a saiyan named Totoma, broke into the HQ and began slaughtering the gangsters en masse. While this went on, Jackrabbit managed to kill the guard watching him and escape, leaving him wandering around traumatized until Kars thankfully found him. After Dio took him home, the vampire informed him he and Kars had killed Kano, and Jackrabbit had another total breakdown.

After Kano's death, he informed Leon Turner that he wanted out of the Black Dragon for good, angering the president beyond belief. A brief feud between them began, nearly escalating to a war before Leon decided to be the bigger man and offer Dio and JR a peace treaty, which they accepted. In the short grace period that passed, Dio turned Jackrabbit into a vampire and gave him a head transplant onto a biologically male body. Tensions remained high, especially after Kano was mysteriously ressurected, and eventually built to another great battle after Kano kidnapped and tortured Angel Dust, Jackrabbit's close friend. After being stabbed with a stand arrow by Giorno Giovanna, Jackrabbit gained his stand Bad Medicine, which he used to help defeat his former boss. Kano was killed again, this time the killing blow inflicted by Jackrabbit himself, who shot Kano three times in the head after he had been subdued by Giorno Giovanna and Multiversal Bounty Hunter.

There was another brief period of peace in which Jackrabbit opened up Apex Predator, a club created to cater specifically to vampires. He and Dio ran the club during the large boom in Central Nexus nightlife.

But like always, Kano came back somehow, now a demon and working with the demon overlord Valentino. This began the events of the Vampire Demon War, which was also called "a gang war from hell." When the war was over and Giorno Giovanna had killed Kano permanently with Golden Experience Requiem, putting him into an endless loop of painful deaths for the rest of time.

But the war didn't end there. Though Valentino was sworn off of trying to possess Jackrabbit, tensions were high when Dio discovered that Valentino had sexually assaulted his partner. They never made a move on each other, but the hatred remained.

Before this war had begun, Jackrabbit had been setting up a plot to break up Kaza and Flame Princess, kill Kaza, and pin it on Mileena. Once the war was over, Dio and Jackrabbit decided to finish off their plan and make a move. Dio captured Kaza, bringing him home for them both to drink his Edenian blood, which is known as a delicacy to vampires and blood magick users. They killed him, draining his body before stashing it in their large freezer often used for corpses. Upon finding out about Kaza's death, Flame Princess killed Jackrabbit by burning him alive while torturing Dio attempting to do the same.

Jackrabbit spent a brief period as a sinner demon before Dio managed to recruit the help of Mileena, Shang Tsung, and Raiden to revive him in the Soul Chamber. The two were homeless for a short while before getting a new home, but they had it for not even a few days before they ended up in trouble again.

After committing multiple murders and public indecency while having sex in the Nexus Mall, Dio and Jackrabbit escaped to the nearby hotel, where Dio tore Jackrabbit's throat open and left him to bleed out and be found by the Joestar Family. He was arrested, and when he tried to call Dio for help, the vampire broke off their relationship without much explanation. With the help of Saul Goodman, Jackrabbit managed to have the charges dropped after convincing the jury he had been forced by Dio to engage in everything that happened that day.

A week after being released from jail, Jackrabbit went to his and Dio's new home, where he drenched himself and their shared bed in Spirytus Vodka and set himself on fire. Though Dio and his friend Garoxi attempted to save him, he died in the ICU of the Nexus Hospital.

Since his death, he has been imprisoned in the Netherrealm in the Rabbit Hole, chained across the room from Dio, who also ended his own life. They are forced to be together, look at each other, and speak to each other - but they cannot touch each other or leave.

## Personality

Jackrabbit has no dignity, and there's nothing too shameful for him to do. He struggles with self control, often starting fights online that lead to real-life violence. He often acts cocky, but its more a façade than anything else. His self esteem is nearly nonexistent, and he is convinced he needs someone to control him and limit his decisions. Years of brainwashing from Kano have left him thinking he has no value, and only exists to find someone to serve.

He has an addictive personality, being hooked on tobacco, methamphetamine, sex, and pain. He often acts on impulse and does things he ends up regretting.

## Appearance

### With the Black Dragon

Jackrabbit was an unhealthily thin young man covered in scars and premature wrinkles. He had a black dragon tattoo coiling up his right arm and splitting into two heads, which became visible on either side of his neck. He was usually seen wearing an oversized white tank top and baggy jeans, occasionally with a leather jacket on top. His hair was shaved on the sides and back, but grown out long on the top and swept to the left side. He had two piercings in his eyebrow, one in his lip, and several in his ears.

### With Dio

After joining Dio, Jackrabbit began dressing very differently in a black tube top, bright red jacket and pants, and green heart belt to match Dio's. He also wears a gold choker with a green heart to cover the scar on his neck and the remnants of the Black Dragon tattoos. He briefly wore a green scouter over one eye, but it was destroyed in his fight with Kano at the Nexus Hotel. He also wears a silver grenade charm on a long dark cord, a Christmas gift from his friend BF.

## Powers and Abilities

### Baseball Skills

Jackrabbit has had an obsession with baseball since he was very young, and his physical fighting style is heavily based on that. He fights mostly with a black metal baseball bat and a variety of explosives. He often hits grenades with his bat as a method of launching them, and his accuracy is deadly.

Though not physically strong, he is fast. He can outrun most mortals, and is also very agile and dexterous. But once cornered, he is essentially helpless.

### Vampire Powers

After being turned by Dio, JR gained the ability to regenerate any part of his body at inhuman speed, use superhuman strength, and stop aging. In order to use any of these powers, however, he needs to keep up his supply of human blood.

### Bad Medicine

Jackrabbit's stand has strong but very limited powers. Bad Medicine has the ability to incapacitate others by forcing them to experience the effects of a drug overdose, but this also comes at a price. In order to power his stand and keep himself from growing sick, Jackrabbit has to continue using drugs. The exact effects of his stand vary depending on what drugs he feeds it with, but he mostly sticks to meth.
