Jay Walker

## **Overview**

Jay Walker is one of the main characters in “Legends of Ninjago.” He is a novice inventor, the Lightning Ninja, and the wielded of the Nunchucks of Lightning.

## **Appearance & Personality**

Jay is approximately 6ft. 2in. tall (187.96cm), 16 years old (curntly), has short dusty brown hair, fair skin, blue eyes, and his ethnicity is one third Asian, two thirds Caucasian.

Jay is a fun, carefree spirit—whenever he’s not being chased by dragons, held at knife point, or electrified that is. He’s generally very quippy and has a joke for nearly every occasion, although he does have a lot of self-image problems. At times he feels very insecure about his abilities, background, and appearance.

Coming from a poorer family, Jay’s clothes are typically very worn and well loved. His favourite casual article of clothing is his blue jacket with a wide white stripe going across it. But when it’s mission time, he pulls on his deep blue shozoku.

## **History**

Jay Walker was born in the little-known junkyard ‘Ed n’ Edna’s Scrap n’ Junk’ just outside of Ninjago City. Ed and Edna Walker did their best to raise and educate him, but when the Skulken War started, the couple needed to spend more time working, and so Jay was sent to public school for the first time. Starting in his late elementary school years, Jay developed a fascination with engineering and began to construct his own inventions. His ultimate goal was to help the world at large, especially regarding the war.

At age sixteen Jay was approached by Sensei Wu who offered him a position on a secret mission to recover the Golden Weapons of Spinjitsu. Jay eager accepted and after meeting Cole Becket, Kai Rayson, and Zane Julien, headed out into the world to end the war.

After the recovery of the Scythe of Quakes and the Daggers of Ice, Jay began to feel extremely insecure about his position on the team, mostly regarding the authenticity of him being an Elemental master. Unlike Cole, who had been using his powers since he was eight, Jay had never wielded lightning before, not even once.

* *’At that moment a new thought came into Jay’s mind. “How old were you?” he said. “How old were you when you discovered your powers?”*

* *Cole didn’t say anything for a second. “About eight, maybe a little younger. Don’t tell me this is about your powers?”*

* *“Why can’t I use them?” Jay said as he turned around to face Cole. “You can’t tell me it doesn’t look weird. Out of all of us I’m the only one who’s different. There’s no way you haven’t noticed.”’*

Jay ended up trying to run away from the group and the mission, but instead ended up knocked unconscious in the middle of a strange woods. He was helped in the night by a mysterious stranger who brought him to the mountain of the Sky Temple where Jay woke up the next morning.

After a lot of convincing from Cole that he was in fact the Master of Lightning, Jay grabbed hold of the Nunchucks and underwent an alarming transformation. All of a sudden he was connected with the energy around him and his powers suddenly appeared. He also grew about half a foot taller and twice as strong as he had been before, all of which was very strange to say the least.

* *“Jay just grew at least half a foot taller. The weapons don’t alter physical states like this unless they’re used together,” Ann explained. “This doesn’t make any sense.”*

Afterwards, Jay began to practise with his newfound powers with Cole’s help. He went on to sneak into The Underworld with Cole and Keaton and sabotage a number of Skulken teleportation vehicles. He aided in the defeat of King Samukai and Lord Garmadon and when he eventually returned to Ninjago with his new friends, he swore the oath of the Ninja and officially began his training in the art of Spinjitsu.
