Deviation
In canon, instead of sending Cyan off as Jack's doppelganger, the three continued onwards to the village. Being the only one with any type of training, Jack protected them the best he could, doing his best to hold out until Silver Heart reaches them. Unfortunately, he is shot through the heart and collapses, telling the twins to run. Silver Heart rescues them in time and fends off the attackers, but is too late in saving his apprentice. Consumed by grief and wanting redemption, the twins train under Silver Heart to become phantom thieves in Jack's honor.
Meanwhile, Clover did not discover Rose's identity as a witch, instead wanting to artificially create one. He assumed that Jack was from the village and used him as a vessel, because everyone else has been gunned down. He replaced his heart with the crystal and implanted its shards into his eyes.
Since then, he was placed into a medically induced coma for years. It wasn't until Cyan and Rose discovered the truth, confronted Clover about his plans and saved him. Now he wants to resume his training to become a full-fledged phantom thief alongside them.
Characters
Name: Jack Jones
Alias: [Pending]
Meta Human: Witch of Space (artificial)
Occupation: Phantom Thief Trainee
Allegiance: Phantom Thieves (secondary), Himself (primary)
Gear(s):
1. Tarot Cards (22-piece Arcane deck): It is a method to help him predict the future more accurately, though he can misinterpret the results. When faced with a difficult decision, he relies on his tarot cards to decide his next move. Similarly, when encountering a stranger, he turns to his cards to determine their true nature. This technique has never failed him before.
2. Mirror Familiar: It can change shape (into a sword, shield etc), but cannot be larger than his own size. It is used as a passageway or gateway to other places or items
3. Deck of Paying Cards (Silver Heart's): Same as canon, but no bombs or throwing ones. All of them are non-lethal because he is still considered a newbie.
4. Misc: He has a bad habit of stealing from his fellow phantom thieves. Sometimes he steals their weapons, clothes or gear, and he uses them without a care in the world.
Appearance:
Hair: Silver and straight, shoulder length that he occasionally ties into a low ponytail
Eyes: Blue, same as canon but slightly lighter. Glows in the dark.
Clothing: No official uniform, but alternates between sweatshirts, stolen clothing (usually Cyan's, as they have similar body shapes), unzipped/unbuttoned jackets.
Other: Always wears some form of full-faced mask. If unavailable or destroyed, he'll resort to burying his face in his shirt. If forced to show his face, he'd rather lie on the ground or face the wall. IF that's not an option, he becomes exceedingly skittish and scatterbrained until he regains some form of cover.
Abilities:
1. Basic telekinesis (common witch ability)
2. Summon small, existing items.
3. Limited teleportation.
4. Limited ability to predict (but not look into) the future, hence the tarot cards.
