Defeating the Darkness within

[Frisk E. Coyote]

Alrighty then!

Here's my profile for now. Can I take the Earth Elemental Weapon?

Name: Jackson "Jack" Colt
Gender: Male
Species: Red Wolf
Age: 12
Description: [spoiler=Jack -]


[/spoiler] Stands at 5'0, he's kind of a runt. Has plain, brown eyes and rust colored fur. The fur on his head is black, and the color extends down the fur on his back all the way to the top of his tail. Rather slim. His soft fur hides numerous scars.
Magic/skills: He is more resilient than he looks, as he is used to taking a beating. He's also skilled in hiding, running, blocking and evading attacks, whether it's hiding behind trashcan lids or getting people to attack things like brick walls to disable them. He learned this from constantly being bullied.
Bio: "I never asked to be born... What am I being punished for? I'm not a bad boy!" -Jack

Jack lives alone with his father, Samuel "Sam" Colt, as his mother died when he was very young. Sam is a sick, bitter man who drowns his problems in alcohol and sex. He is violently abusive toward Jack because he blames him for their poverty, often starving him and locking him in his closet. Occasionally, Sam would get very drunk and take out both his emotional and sexual frustrations out on Jack, until it became the cheaper replacement for getting drunk or buying hookers.

Jack wants nothing more than to get away from home, to be rescued, anything to get away from Sam, to stop getting hurt, to stop being used... Anything. Sam still abuses Jack a lot, leaving the boy with many bruises, cuts and fractures that heal over time, conditioning the bones so they can take more abuse without getting damaged.

If Jack tells anyone about what his father does to him, or asks anyone for help, his father promised to kill him in the most painful way possible before he got arrested, so he stays silent. Because of this, Jack is not very sociable in school, and the other kids make fun of him for being small and being such a wuss. He has been in many fights as a result, and knows how to fight and defend himself well, though he prefers to run if possible.

He is bullied a lot when not at home, and at home, he spends his time either running or hiding from his dad until he lost interest in him. Every now and then, they had to move houses, because teachers and neighbors got suspicious of them. Jack has lost hope every time they moved to a new neighborhood to start the cycle fresh. Because of this, Jack does not have friends.

The house they currently live in is particularly old, but it was also very cheap and very big, and offered lots of hiding places for the young wolf. Little did he know that he was going to find something crucial to the world's survival in one of his hiding places one day. Little did he know that his life was going to change forever.
