Tame: Characters

A bit of a guide to characters included in Tame.

Jackson Voyd
I just wanna stay in the sun where I find

I know it's hard sometimes

Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind

I know it's hard sometimes

Yeah, I think about all sorts of endings just way too much

But it's fun to fantasize

All my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was

But it's fun to fantasize

Jackson Voyd, sometimes known as simply Jackson or Jack, is one of the main characters in Tame. He is one of Victory's many OCs that she uses on the Wings of Fire fandom, unlike the others of this story, and is a bit of a butt at times. However, the kid has a good heart.

He is based on the star sign Pisces, though this takes many liberties.

Appearance
Oh, oh...

I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride

Taking my time on my riiiiide

Jackson could be called tall for his age, and tends to tower over shorter people (which sometimes gets him into weird and slightly awkward situations). He doesn't really get outside all that much, so he's really pale and tends to sunburn like you wouldn't believe. Due to this, his face is freckled, and while it's not all that much, I would call it a "medium". He has pretty much no muscles whatsoever, and no weapons because he has noodle arms and can't wield them (as he refuses to learn how to). He has a somewhat angular face, though not all that much, and when he smiles, it's usually a snarky half-smirk. He likes to think of himself as perfectly proportional (well, not really, because who thinks about that), but his legs are kinda long, as are his arms--yet not freakishly. He has pretty short hair, but some bangs tend to hang over his forehead, and said hair is straight. (to be finished)

Personality
I'd die for you

That's easy to say

We have a list of people that we would take

A death for them

A death for you

A death for everybody in this room

But I don't seem to see much death coming through

See much death coming through

There are many things that you could say about Jackson "Jack" Voyd, but nobody can ever say he isn't creative. A lover of writing prompts, drawing prompts, pretty much anything that gives him an idea, he can take a rock someone found in the middle of the yard, give it a name, family, backstory, and get overly emotional when it "passes away at age seventy-five". As to why he bothered to do that, nobody knows, but the point is, the boy is a creative bean who loves making up things. He'd consider himself a pretty okay songwriter, and can retell myths like a boss by giving the stories life like nobody has seen before. He does slightly less well at drawing/painting, often doing a second-place-worthy piece whenever he tries to do so, and can seem somewhat upset by that, but he's never really gonna do anything about it. He has this uncanny ability to tell what someone's feeling just by looking at them sideways, which tends to freak others out. He has no opinion on this. When Jackson meets someone for the first time, people tend to see him as a negative one (though that's not always the case). He's a snarky person who loves sarcasm, and is a bit of a pessimist. He has no idea where the bright side is, so he can't exactly look on it, and sometimes, he's funny. But, in dangerous situations, he pretty much just accepts that he is probably gonna die, so he is not helpful. At. All. He has no idea how swords work, though he's always wanted to try archery (but can't because see below), and is useless in a fight besides yelling out, "You're probably gonna die in battle! I'll make sure to play [insert song here] at your funeral! Tell me what happens after death!" and something tells Victory that that isn't useful.

Metaphorically, I'm the man

But literally, I don't know what I'd do

So I'd live for you

And that's hard to do

Even harder to say

When you know it'll be so true

Even harder to write

Hey, he's not all a lump of uselessness. Jackson can act like he doesn't care all he wants, but, deep underneath all his layers of rudeness, of laziness, of snark and just generally being a butt, he really cares about his friends/family/others, and is really compassionate when he's actually being serious (granted, it takes time and sometimes directly point it out that he needs to be serious to do so). He...he's somewhat selfless, actually. Even though he tends to stay away from battles/fighting, he would sacrifice himself--/coughing from Jack/ WITH GOOD REASONING /cough/--for someone he really cared about. A shocker for you and me both, kid. Moving on from this, he's also kinda moody. He can wake up one day, squint at the sunshine, annoyed, and be a sour one for the whole day one day, but then be completely happy (though snarky and sarcastic) and more or less a joyful pessimist the next. When he feels emotions, you're sure to know it, because they're big emotions: his slightly mocking laughter might carry through the whole room, and his anger might make storm clouds seem to darken outside. Although he comes up with a lot of ideas, and puts those to use most of the time, he has a lack of focus for anything that's actually important. You could grab him by the face and shove it into a textbook, and he still won't focus. He's also really idealistic, and sets his sights on things that are likely NEVER going to happen in real life. The boy has problems with focusing on the fact he's not in a fantasy world, though he's probably going to continue to tell himself that's how it'll be someday. But you know what? You've never seen the definition of "procrastinator" until you've met Jackson. He doesn't enter contests all that much because he claims he "doesn't wanna hurt other people's feelings without realizing it" or something, but he just won't do the thing he promised to. He has a whole bucket list of things he's had the opportunity to do, and told himself he'd get done, but just...hasn't. He's kinda lazy about getting to do things like that.

When you know that tonight

There are people back home which are talking to you

But then you ignore them still

All these questions they're forming like

Who would you live for?

Who would you die for?

And would you ever kill?

 * Jackson has the Aglen equivalent of Irish ancestry.
 * He is one of Victory's favorite OCs, due to the fact she has deemed him "vulnerable" while developing concepts for the first chapter of Tame.
 * He dislikes avocados greatly, and nobody knows exactly why.

Charlie Yarrow
We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing

 'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one heck of a something

They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space

Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race

Charlie Yarrow is one of the main characters of Tame. He is a nice child who is partially based on Victory herself, but not really. He is smarter than he looks, caring to those he really knows, forever honest, deep, and has a wild side. However, he is also impatient, sometimes utterly careless with feelings, boastful, attention-hogging, and a bit on the brutally honest, I-don't-care-about-you-only-the-truth side. He's good on the inside, though.

Victory currently very much ships him with Aberdeen Justice, due to the fact they have an affinity with each other.

He's just a weird little bean who wants to stay with his moms and write moving speeches.

Appearance
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky

 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah, we got the fire fire fire

This shall be added later.

Personality
We can light it up up up

So they can put it out out out
