❦ In depth:
Personality: Without a doubt Jack is the most outgoing person in all of Halloween town. And, possibly, one of the most outgoing people people a person could ever meet. He's charismatic, polite, and it very, very determined. Above all his curiosity is the primary reason for his actions though sometimes getting in the way of his logical thinking. Hence the taking over the holiday incident.
Canon Background: Cheat link is cheating
AU Background: After the much displeasing holiday confusion regarding the Pumpkin King's 'stealing' Christmas, things in Halloween Town went back to normal, and if possible began to flourish in a way it never had. New ideas were exchanged, the townspeople weren't as closed-minded as they used to be (what with their newfound knowledge of the other holidays), and Jack Skellington had a brand new sense of pride about this holiday. Things were better than ever. That was, until a horrible mist began to spread through the graveyard unleashing monsters and ghouls that even the likes of Halloween Town had never seen.
Pumpkins, citizens, and even ghosts began to disappear. The citizens began to fear for their town and their holiday, the Pumpkin King for once unsure of how to help his townspeople. Luckily a letter arrived at Skellington manor, Zero bringing it cheerfully to his master. It was from Headmaster Mickey of the Disney Academy, informing him of their world's current predicament. While Jack would have liked to stay in his town to help his citizens, it was clear that Mickey needed his help more, and that would further progress to get rid of this mysterious mist. Besides, Jack was eager to explore this new place, and very honored to be asked to teach.
Leaving Halloween Town in the confident hands of the Mayor and Dr. Finkelstein, Jack Skellington set off to Disney Academy to do his part in ridding their world of the black mist and it's monsters.
Appearance: Tall, very slender, and obviously bony. Jack is dressed neatly in a pin-striped suit complete with a bat bow tie. His sockets lack eyeballs but he can see just fine. He always wears the same suit, and the same skeleton grin.
Classes: Scaring 101 , Biology
Clubs: n/a
Best Subject: Scaring of course!
Greatest Fear: As Pumpkin King, jack would inform you that he has no fear, it would be incredibly awkward for the master of fright to fear something. But he does in fact have a fear: losing his ability to be scary. What good is a Pumpkin King if he isn't scary? He also fears anything bad to happen to Halloween Town, and to lose the ability to maintain a stability within the tow.
How long have they been at the school(remember this school is from kindergarten on): He's only started teaching.
Relationships with other characters: n/a
