//Marvel, stop the insanity ahead of time and cancel the re-reboot of Fantastic 4. We're begging. Oh right, you don't listen anyway. Fine, become like DC. Thanks for the really great run. It was fun while it lasted.

Getting to know Jackson. I hope it doesn't bore you, and if it does, by all means... stop reading.
That said, let's get to the first in what may become a series of questions.
Lets get to know you.
I had played in the Teen Wolf verse a few times, dabbling here and there. Played Scott for a minute, done a few side stories as others, but I saw no good Jackson's out there. The ones I did see had zero grasp on who he was at all. It was like they were playing him without seeing who or what the character was. Personally, it always bothers me when I see a great character who is supposedly canon and yet played completely against type. I think it takes a very devoted mindset to play someone that is canon and bring them to life. For that reason alone, I typically play original characters that allow me flexibility but Jackson had wiggle room, as you will learn below.
The moment I took on the challenge of portraying Jackson Whittemore, it was like my muse just exploded inside and he came pouring out of me. He wanted me to play him. He knew he could trust me and showed me all his sides. Yes, I know how that sounds, but hey, I'm a writer. Enough said. Ironically, or perhaps thankfully, the character of JW and myself harbor the same offbeat sense of humor, the same chip-on-the-shoulder past, the same struggle to not be undermined and stand strong while being cautious that you're uncertain. The struggles of coming out can often be the same.
So, I will say that it seemed an amazing fit and I was told time and again that I did him justice, to the point that some knew better to even add me if they couldn't handle Jackson. Yes, I heard about many but that was before I evolved him. Now this will cut to the heart of the question as to why I write him. My re-birth of Jackson began when I heard Colton was not returning for season 3 of TW, or shortly thereafter. I felt robbed of an evolution that I needed, wanted. I let it go for a while but something sparked in me to keep him going beyond high school. All I had to go on was that Derek had shown him a few things before he left for London and presumably, college.
At this point, I knew he would not be canon any longer but I have always strived for the best fit to keep him as the same person, evolving over time. Will you still see his snarky side? Oh yes. Sometimes people are put off by it actually, but I remind them gently ooc, which should not need to be done, that this is just who Jackson is. He does not have some instant rapport with much of anyone. I can think of several who cannot understand why I have played him like that, but to me, this is canon. Jackson has genuine depth as opposed to just being malleable to all situations.
I would say that playing him has become a very rewarding experience that I did not know would impact me. There are people that I both respect and admire in this community of gifted writers who have not only loved what I have done with Jackson but gravitate to him, to be a part of his ongoing adventures. I know a handful of some of the best writers and it still blows my mind that I get to do this sometimes. I am thankful for the many blessings of this creation and getting to share stories, share their joys and triumphs.
As a final note, I can say that playing Jackson has opened a creative well in me that is ever-expanding. In my portrayal, I easily brought him into the 6th season return for where he was at and stuck with the timeline of the origins. That stated, I genuinely hope this upcoming new venture with Teen Wolf will not alter him too terribly, but if it does, I will try to keep him canonically based and see how it all unfolds. May the adventure ever continue for us all.
To all my fellow writers and friends, I thank you deeply.

The larger bio with more details.
he short bio:
Jackson Whittemore is a student at odds with everything. He was adopted at birth by parents who wanted a child and couldn’t have one. They spoil him with things, but never their attention. He is an overachiever who is always striving to make someone notice his efforts but is never satisfied in that. In high school, he found out that werewolves were real and had enhanced abilities. He practically begged to be one so he could stand out. When he got his chance, his emotional issues created a block and he turned into a kanima creature. While in this form, Jackson was controlled by a master and took several lives. It wasn’t until multiple people tried several times to kill him, including his alpha that Jackson finally died and the wolf inside of him healed him and came forward. Beyond this, he became an omega, going off on his own to college in the UK.
Disclaimer:
The werewolf side of Jackson can be included or not, depending on our story. Also, I can play him in high school days, college life, or just beyond college. Let me know which would suit us best. Incidentally, I am NOT Colton Haynes. This is for writing purposes only.
The more complete bio:
Jackson was adopted by a wealthy couple who could not have children but wanted to carry on a legacy. As parents, they are absentee to say the least. My adopted father is an ambassador in Europe and as a couple, they move in the highest of European social circles. They are rarely, if ever home here in Beacon Hills. But that's cool now that I'm older. I get to live in a mansion, drive a Porsche and live in a way I have grown accustomed to.
At the age of 19, my adoptive father returned if for nothing else than to blackmail me into doing something with my life. He forced my hand in going to college but he did make it rather easy on me too, so I guess I shouldn't bitch too hard. My last year of college, I went abroad, studying at Oxford University. That was where my 'tastes' changed.
I met a fellow student who I started to have feelings towards. They went beyond attachment and became physical. For the first time admitting it to myself, I wanted to be with a man, both physically and emotionally. A short time after that, I graduated and returned to Beacon Hills, perhaps a hint more humble than before. But then, it is me so, not that humble. That is pretty current. I travel a lot for fun, still don't have a lock down job I have to be at all the time, and explore life. I do some modeling at times and have done some film work. Come share an adventure.
Now, for the other side of me: (Note: This is usually a side of my stories but can be left out for the purely human stories)
The werewolf:
Jackson had figured out the secret of why Scott McCall was besting him at his own sport. He had been changed and now Jackson needed that change to get his standing back. At first, he did not realize what that meant. Well, without getting into too much detail, suffice it to say that Derek Hale tried to change Jackson and make him one of his pups. The problem was, Jackson's body was rejecting the bite and he became something he had not planned for: Kanima.
The Kanima creature was a curse to Jackson in a sense, being controlled by another and having to kill at random bidding. Everyone attempted to kill Jackson and he did cocoon himself at one point. Finally, thinking Jackson dead, they left his body there. His eyes flew open, brilliant luminescent blue and now the wolf side had brought him back from the brink of passing, healing his wounds until he rose up and howled into the night.
Even as a wolf now though, Jackson was once again rejected and hunted. He had to escape Beacon Hills and find his own path. His werewolf side seemed very different than the ones he had seen though. First off, his werewolf form was more Lycan in nature, making him far taller and beefier. This seemed at odds with the others. Secondly, he had inherited something from Derek's DNA. Derek's mother also had these gifts. Jackson found he could change at will to either a normal looking wolf, go up a few sizes to a much larger type of werwolf or Lycan type of creature, or if enraged in a full on frenzy, he could take on the form of a dire wolf that was tremendously large. It uses a vast amount of his strength though and after, he often needs to hide and recover alone, sometimes for days.
When he first ran, he had no one and no alpha to teach him anything. It was while hiding in a secluded forest that someone found him. Vincent Burke. At least that was how he met him. This long haired beauty had a soft spot for wolves apparently and helped Jackson in ways he did not even know he needed. Normally, Jackson was snarky and kept a large chip on his shoulder, but he needed Vincent and never snapped at him with snide comments. Between them would grow a bond of friendship and brotherhood, combined with a deep fondness for their mutual coffee adoration. In Jackson's eyes, Vincent does no wrong. He is the brother he never had.
When Vincent could not be there, he had sent someone to watch over and help him if need be while Jackson found his way. This man was Maddox O’Neill. For a good while, Jackson did not meet him but he sensed he was there. Maddox was a far more wise, and certainly more experienced of a wolf with his multiple hundreds of years under his belt. It wasn’t until one night that Jackson got hurt that Maddox had rescued him. This man took him somewhere to heal and while he did, the two became like brothers. Jackson was soon finding himself a new family and one that was far more loyal than the humans he had known.
In time, Vincent and Jackson found a shared love of coffee and now it is impossible for him to get one anymore without bringing some to Vincent at his home. On one of those meetings, which were becoming more frequent, he finally met the husband of Vincent that he had heard about. Joel Kettleburn is a tall man with an intense gaze but Jackson was never one to back down or show weakness to anyone. He stood and extended a hand. The rapport between them was instant, and he felt something he hadn’t in awhile. The kanima.
Jackson's reptilian side was always going to be a part of him, though it’s initial powers were subsided by the dominant wolf nature. The touch brought a vision. Joel was… a dragon? This was cool to Jackson. He never even knew dragons existed but he did now. It seemed Vincent’s husband got along with wolves anyway so their bond grew in leaps and bounds. However, a sudden need to be alone with his husband had Jackson leaving quietly that night and he understood. He was so glad Vincent had this man. When you have a best friend like Vincent, you want him to be blissfully happy.
Jump ahead another year after he learned to control his inner wolf. Derek tried to return to his life and Jackson hated him with a fierce intensity. At the same time, he was bonded to his maker. Enter Garth Griffin. He found Jackson, mortally wounded and knew the reasons. He told Jackson that night that he was going to free him of Derek once and for all. This man bit him on the brink of his death and sucked Derek's hold over Jackson right out. Then, his own DNA entered Jackson and made him strong rapidly. Jackson had a new Alpha... a new maker. Finally, he understood what he meant to have a real alpha, and he sensed a kind of feeling he had never felt before.
Along with Garth entering his life, he found he had a pack of other misfit wolves, for lack of a better way to put it. They were from all walks of life and for the first time, he had other wolves to learn from and grow stronger with. He also learned in Garth’s house that an alpha was not the one who kills the others to become an alpha. An alpha was the one who would protect and guard the pack at all costs and even he too could be an alpha over others. Jackson hoped one day to have a few pups of his own, and would show them that his own upbringing did not curse him, but would make him an even better father for it.
Now, life as a wolf was not as bad as it started. He had fought to become what he was with the help of people like Vincent, Maddox and Garth and learned to stand strong once more. While he still has some side that feels like a lone wolf at times, he has others to remind him that he is loved and wanted and he loves his fellow wolf brothers, no matter what pack they are a part of. Harm against any wolf meant harm against all, and Jackson would give his life to protect others. He uses his wolf side more often for the good of others and for protection.
Upon his return to Beacon Hills, he almost instantly ran into an old flame of his. This man and him had kissed accidentally way back in high school days and Jackson knew at once he loved him far more than he originally thought. The man had fought in the military and came back changed. They had drifted apart with a myriad of circumstances but the moment they were back together, they both felt something between them and finally they acted on their nature. They made love through the rest of the day and into the night. The hardest thing Jackson did was to finally leave him the next day but he had to help someone. When he returned to the house, E was gone again and Jackson felt his first true heartbreak.
Another side further on was when Jackson jumped after someone and into a portal where he landed in the forests of Asgard but was attacked viciously and left for dead. Were it not for Storm God, he may have perished right there but the God nursed him back to health and in return, Jackson pledged his loyalty to the God to stand at his side should he ever need help from a dire wolf. There is a deep bond between them and he finds himself often going to visit him to make sure he is well.
Enter Jayden Whittemore. Whom? That’s what I said when I first heard. Jayden is my son from the future and his husband Kaden tore a hold in the fabric of time. Well, not him really, but his parents, Max and Damon. Outside forces made the child grow up too fast, fearing a hunting of the child. This caused a ripple effect and at great risk, one of them went to be with the other. The only problem was… I have not had Jayden yet in this life. I still don’t even know who his other parent is or if I will be his mother or father. During this crazy time, Damon and I became close. Maybe too close because it scared me to think that Damon and I could make Jayden and the two boys, married to one another could actually be brothers if we were not careful. It killed our passion but never our friendship. Damon is an important part of who I am.
Extra:
There are several other people whom I have not mentioned but I promise you that none are slighted. I adore the stories we have together. Most of these stories are individual but several have crossovers. Many I keep individual because they would simply not fit or make sense with some of the others. Some for other reasons. I hasten to say that I am multi-LI because I do not seek to make most stories sexual in nature. I do however call myself multi-story because no one should be affected by what I write with others. It does not change what we have. Those who do not understand that, or are offended should probably not write with me. I would never assume to ask you what you do in private. Also, I will not indulge a quarrel about what I say in a status. Status play is rarely role play, and something I do mostly ooc. If I flirt or have fun, it does not affect you and is probably because I know that person ooc. I am here to write, so do not ask if I want to. Of course I want to. Let’s come up with a story or just start one. I am not a stickler for rules and will not make it hard on you to want to write with me. Use common sense and decent grammar and we’ll get along just fine.
Further Bio on UK life:
Carrying a family name like Whittemore did open doors that were otherwise sealed to the majority, even if Jackson knew he was only a by-product of a well orchestrated adoption now. The world knew no better though, so why not just bask in what luxuries were afforded him? The twists and turns of this particular emotional roller coaster for him had undergone a detested relaxation long ago.
Yes, it was true that he hated being forced to go to college when he was, lest he be financially discharged and stricken of the family name and all connection. While half of him longed to stand on his own and salute his adoptive parents with both middle fingers extended proudly, he was also desperately aware that he knew no other way of life since birth. It was best to at least try to suck it up, as they say and play their little game at least till he was twenty five and would receive his full trust fund. After that, he would never have to work a day in his life if he so chose.
After only two years at New York University, he was awarded an academic scholarship to attend Harvard to pursue his parents aspirations of making their model son into a diplomat. Two years following that, a former president stepped in to award Jackson with the prestigious Rhodes scholarship to attend Oxford University for his post graduate understudy. Never one to back down from a challenge, he chose not one, but two majors. The first was in political science, which would garner him far more credentials for his role as a diplomat and the second was art history; a subject that had become more near and dear to his heart.
It was the beginning of spring when he packed his life into suitcases and returned to England, having been a handful of times in his youth. This time was with a new outlook and to a place he had yet to see. His parents had seen to him having the family flat in Trafalgar Square but it was an impractical distance to the university and so another closer location was rented for him.
At first, the pomp and circumstance of things at Oxford seemed extreme but as time went on, it became old hat and Jackson was often well dressed and in Matriculation robes, blending in rather well and even receiving unusual favor from the other students. He worked hard and learned to work in teams, even rowing double sculls at Christ Church. His schooling left little time for other things, including spending down time at the flat afforded him, yet on a rare occasion, he would dress to the nines and attend elegant events, musical recitals and arthouse showings, making a name for himself about town as the Whittemore heir.
When not attending such things, or studying his arse off, he sat in the back of a local pub, reading up on Oscar Wilde and other graduates of Oxford who had made an impact upon the world. He fashioned himself as more than just a foreign dignitary or diplomat and more as a blend of that and art connoisseur. He spent free time in antique stores and researching what the value was of various things in the world. He could spot a forgery or reproduction a mile away.

For those who have seen Teen Wolf, my version of Jackson is initially based off the show for his beginnings. He was arrogant, a bit cocky, always with a chip on his shoulder and a mouth vomiting out sarcasm. He has come to learn he is adopted and keeps most at arm's length. When his lacrosse teammate begins to best him at a sport that gave him his one accolade from others, he wanted to know how he got better. In time, he learns it was a wolf's bite that made his teammate, Scott better than he was. Jackson needed the title back so badly that he begged for the bite. Eventually, he got it but not with the results he hoped for.
Spoiler alert: He becomes something else first. A kanima.(A lizard like creature who is ruled by a master and made to kill.) In time, the wolf surfaces but this is almost the last we see of him again till season 6. I figured he needed development beyond this point. That is what you will find in writing with me here.
As a side note, I can leave the wolf part out of our story if you wish to write only human aspects. I am also open to adaptation. Let me know what you'd enjoy.
So, for starters, Jackson can be played in one of the three verses below:
One, high school student, probably before the werewolf bite.
Two, a college student who is very ambitious.
Three (and likely the most common) current day, post grad, living life.
Jackson is an adventurous fun-loving soul in the modern day and not as brash as in high school days. He has an alpha he loves, a best friend who shares his love of iced coffee, a dragon who has shown him true friendship, and a wolf brother who has guided him to be his best and to survive as a wolf. Along the way, he has sired pups of his own, whom he adores, and a kitten who wrapped around his heart. He loves a superhero, a fellow alpha, his wolf brothers (pack-mates) and others. His life is rich and exciting and he wants for nothing.
As a disclaimer, I suppose I should add that I am a multi-story writer. This does not mean I am intimate with everyone I write with, nor would I want to be. Hence why I say multi-story and not multi-lover. Also, I have both straight and gay friends, male and female and while Jackson knows he is gay now, not all his storylines will involve any aspect of his sexuality. Most won't in fact.
I abhor rule pages and having people sign and such so I will not bring that to you, but my one rule is that you are over 18 in real life. While I know that you may be talented, I do not feel it's appropriate for me. As for anything else ooc, I reserve that for story discussions and do not care to get personal. I do not care who plays what or try to connect with you other than in character.
Lastly, I have a very busy life away from here and ask for your patience when writing with me. I may love our story deeply, but sometimes I just cannot find enough hours in a day to get here for more than a quick status comment before passing out. It honestly never reflects on you, I swear.
Let the fun begin and message me to get something going.
