Story Summary: 

Jazz's past has always been a mystery. Even to himself. Nobody ever seemed to pay much attention to him until one day, when he was ten years old, he literally accidentally bumped into Chess and Spade when they were playing fetch with Graze. Jazz dropped all the fruits and vegetables he was carrying as a result, so Spade and Chess offered to help pick them up. During this time, Jazz politely introduced himself, and Chess and Spade did as well. Jazz then said he knew exactly who they were, claiming the duo was quite popular through the hill lands. Spade then comments on how delicious the fruits and vegetables smell, and Jazz tells him he grew them in his garden. 

Intrigued that Jazz, who was only ten at the time, claimed to be tending a garden, Chess and Spade asked to see it. Jazz was more than happy to show them. He led them through the Trueblue Woods and eventually they arrived at a pleasant, tiny farm with an impressively large garden filled with fruit trees and vegetable plants. Chess asked if Jazz's parents helped him tend to this marvelous garden, to which Jazz casually said he had no parents.

The lack of emotion in Jazz's tone when saying this surprised and somewhat disturbed Chess. He dared to ask what happened to them, but Jazz simply shrugged, saying he's been alone for as long as he could remember. Both Spade and Chess felt deeply sympathetic for Jazz. They decided to befriend him further by offering to help him tend to his garden for a while. Jazz thanked them for the offer, but said he did not trust just anyone to tend to his garden. He did say he was grateful for Chess and Spade's interest, and says they are welcome to visit him at his home anytime they want. Chess and Spade made good on his offer, and eventually they became very good friends with him, their duo group becoming a trio.

With time, Jazz opened up to Chess and Spade and they became his closest friends. The three young men spent nearly every day together. 

One harsh winter day, Jazz was on his way home from a job when a snowstorm suddenly hit. The blizzard was intense, and Jazz was worried he would have to seek shelter somewhere. Suddenly, he came across a shocking sight. A floralien girl had collapsed in the snow and gone into a deep hibernation state. Jazz knew despite a floralien's ways to combat cold weather, even in a state of suspended animation it was dangerous for her to stay out in this weather for too long. Without a second thought, he carried the freezing floralien all the way to his home. 

In the warm safety of his tiny cabin, Jazz lay the cold, slumbering floralien in front of his fireplace and went to the closet to find blankets for her. Amazingly, the heat of the fire alone proved to be enough to awaken her from her hibernation. Jazz turned and stared in more awe than he ever had in his life as the floralien seemed to bloom back to life. Her body regained its original beautiful radiant colors and her soft flower petals and skin softened. When she opened her eyes and saw Jazz standing in front of her, they both gazed at each other in silent admiration. Without saying a word, they slowly approached each other, eyes glistening with emotions they never felt before. 

Jazz and this lovely floralien named Lilliora knew right then and there. 

It was love at first sight for both of them.

Powers and Abilities:

Jazz's blazing ice element is incredibly rare and powerful. It is far colder and can freeze opponents much more effectively than most other ice elements. The cold it unleashes is so powerful the pain felt from the attacks is often compared to burns. It can also solidify in mere seconds. Unfortunately, it is insufficient for putting out fires. 

Though he has some muscle definition, Jazz is actually quite skinny. His physical strength is average but he is very fast and can attack and dodge quicker than most opponents. He is also capable of various skilled melee attacks such as high kicks and basic martial arts blows. 

His scythe, being an unusual weapon, took a long time to properly master. He can stab and slice at his opponents and send streams and blades of ice flying towards them. He can also shroud his weapon in ice to deliver freezing blows that encase foes in an immobilizing chunk. 

 

 

Personality:

Jazz is mostly the relaxed type who prefers a life without stress and worries. Whether it be peace when working or having fun, Jazz loves a good time free of disturbances. He does smile from time to time and enjoys the company of his good friends Spade and Chess. He likes their contradicting personalities, seeing it as a comfortable balance. 

Despite his relaxed nature, Jazz doesn't mind fighting when he needs to. He is more than happy to practice his skills with his friends. 

Though he may seem unusually calm on the surface, anyone who knows him well realizes Jazz becomes happy, sad, or angry like any normal person. The fact that hardly anyone not involved with him seems to notice him is what earned him his star name "the Phantom." He does not seem to mind this, though. Jazz is completely content with the friends he has and has no desire for anything more in life. 

 

 

 

Other info:

Jazz also uses his scythe as a gardening tool. 

Jazz hates the fact that his blazing ice element is inefficient for putting out fires. 

The black markings around Jazz's eyes are not makeup. They are special birthmarks that indicate his little need for sleep. Jazz can potentially go for several days without sleeping, but often does anyway. Just not for very long. Often times he will stay up much later at night than everyone else. 

Jazz speaks in a slight Rownan (Irish) accent.
