DARK FUTURE MEME
[We know who it is we want. We have a collective mind.
We don't miss a single step. We're always right behind.
We know we serve someone else. We have swallowed our pride.
We march to this tune of loss. We take this in our stride.]

Current location: Asphodel
Current Physical Appearance: Older, starting to go grey by now, jeez. He still wears classy suits and bathes rarely. He also has A MILLION MORE ROBOPARTS which now include both arms, both eyes, everything from the waist-down, and most of his organs. He also has sharp metal teeth because I find the concept hilarious. His scar map has greatly expanded due to those roborgans listen above. He also wears fake skin over his right hand because too many roboparts kind of freak him out.
Summary: SO. ROBOPARTS. Jack may not be the most talented cyborg, but if nothing else he's proven he's very good at adjusting to suddenly having more mechanical bits. This also makes him a good guinea pig for what sorts of roboparts are compatible with human bodies. He was taken early on in the war and used for testing and experimentation (IRONY), leading to most of his body being replaced with mechanical parts. It sucked. A lot. The horrific torture kind of suck. Luckily enough, he was rescued before he lost all of his humanity. It was probably by Karkat because Jack is a douche and doesn't have many friends.
Physically, he healed surprisingly quick, because he is Jack Fucking Noir and not even getting cut in half can slow him down. But mentally, it's been much slower. Some days he acts just like he was before -- a hissy screechy stabby asshole who loves shitty puns and old mobster movies -- but other days he'll just freeze up completely and turn into a terrified wreck. Robots fucked him up good. His own mechanical limbs freak him out sometimes. And whenever Hypatia is brought up? Pure bloodthirsty rage. He's nowhere near stable enough to take her on yet, but damned if he doesn't make it sound like he's ready. In fact, Hypatia has become the new object of his undying hate. Pantsless isn't off the hook, of course, and he still thinks Striders are douchebags, but since his rescue he hasn't made a single attempt to kill any Daves. Progress??
anyway he lives in a carboard box outside wherever the fuck Karkat lives. He throws sand around it sometimes and puts on CDs of beachsounds. JUST LIKE HOME.

It's mid-afternoon, and Jade is carrying a brown bag full of food to the cardboard box and knocking on the side. "Hey, anyone home?"

Jack stabs the flap open (after he hides his sketchbook that no one is allowed to see ever by sticking it inconspicuously under the shitty ammo pile). He looks grumpy, but he's always grumpy, so no one is surprised. The grumpiness goes down slightly when he sees it's Jade. It's impossible to keep a high level of grumpiness around her, she is just too damn cheerful.
"Not like I've got anywhere else to be." Also eyeing that bag because surprise, he still sucks at taking care of himself, way to fail Jack.

"A sandwich. Sorry, I didn't have any more..." She tosses the bag to him and sits down right outside the box.
