I RP in 1st person, however, I don’t care what perspective you use. Just please don’t try and force me to do 3rd.
Jack is an extremely tall skeleton who wears a black pin-striped suit, complete with a bat bow-tie and black dress shoes.
He has earned the title of Pumpkin King by being terrifying to humans (but never harming them), a clearly well-earned title as it appears he is even able to scare the monsters that occupy the town. He lives in Halloween Town, a world based solely on the holiday of Halloween. The holiday is on Oct. 31
During Jack's Lament, Jack claims that only few deny that he is indeed frightening and he is notorious throughout the world. Every Halloween, Jack has scared people of all ages, as well as being given the nickname "Mr. Unlucky" by a guy in Kentucky.
Jack is very much a gentleman; graceful and patient in equal measures. He is typically even-tempered and can be counted upon to do what is in everybody’s best interest. Although Jack enjoys frightening others, he would never go as far as to harm humans nor monsters and is rather kindhearted.
Though his logic is sound, his reasoning can be questioned at times. He was quite thorough in his Christmas inquiry, but opted to go with what he and his friends knew when he decided to give Sandy Claws the year off and take over for him. He was also unmindful of Sally's feelings for him throughout most of the story. This is backed up by the fact that he scarcely even recognized Santa Claus's distress when they met in the first place. It seems that Jack can be naïve at times, as shown that he trusted Lock, Shock, and Barrel enough that he believed that they would simply get him Santa Claus without causing trouble, despite them being allied with Oogie Boogie and being heavily armed. In addition to this, Jack did not realize all the chaos he caused on Christmas Eve until it was too late.
When Jack gets mad, he is unable to contain his disappointment, as shown when Lock, Shock, and Barrel bring him the Easter Bunny or, when dealing with Oogie Boogie. He did not hesitate to severely frighten the trio or punish his old foe for endangering his friends with grim dedication. With Lock, Shock and Barrel, he pulled his mouth open wide and roared, but with Oogie Boogie he promptly unstitched him.
It is also shown that Jack is incredibly inquisitive, and loves to explore and discover. This is shown by his immediate fascination with Christmas and his excitement upon finding it. The musical number "What's This?" demonstrates his excited, upbeat personality very well as we see him dashing from one thing to the next, like a thrilled kid.
Jack is also fond of the works of William Shakespeare, to which he would take off his head and recite the play Hamlet with great passion, which he seems to enjoy very much.
It appears that Jack, being undead, is immortal and may or may not feel pain from certain things. At the climax of "This Is Halloween", he sets himself on fire without injury. He also has the ability to remove bones from his body. Jack can take off his head (to "recite Shakespearean quotations") and remove ribs to play fetch with his dog, Zero. We can tell he feels certain pain when he reacts negatively (and normally) when Sally accidentally pricks his thumb with a needle. Jack also is very flexible for being a skeleton and possesses incredible agility which makes it easy for him to climb ledges and walls.
~~~~WEAPONRY/ITEMS~~~~
The Frog Gas Sprayer was given to Jack by The Mayor to help him fight Oogie Boogie and his bug minions. It is a frog shaped bug sprayer that Jack uses to hose down bugs using the B button. It will kill bugs on contact, has a long range, and possesses rapid fire capabilities.
Later in the game, Doctor Finklestein upgrades the launcher so it can be charged for more power and increases its rapid-fire capabilities. The gas cloud it produces now appears bigger and looks like a frog's face.
The Bat Boomerang. An invention of the great Dr. Finkelstein; contrary to what the name may imply it does not function as a boomerang but instead seems to produce a live attack bat that travels in a straight line towards the target inflicting damage. Jack can fire this three times in a row. It can be used to disable electric walls and barriers.
Later in the game, one of the Vampire Brothers will deliver an upgrade to Jack that makes the boomerang more powerful. The upgrade enables the boomerang to split into three red bats; sometimes one will have a skeleton head on it, just like Jack's, that inflicts more damage.
Pumpkin C4: Jack receives this from the Corpse Kid after jack saves him from a giant possessed pumpkin. It can break any barrier marked with a pumpkin, making it the only weapon that can do so.
Gum Shoes: A present from the Melting Man. These are super sticky shoes that enables Jack to climb high places.
The Soul Robber is Jack Skellington's weapon from the videogame: The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge. It was created by Dr. Finklestein and given to Jack. The Soul Robber is a green slime that can change shape when Jack uses it.
~~~~~COSTUMES~~~~~
Pumpkin King: His scarecrow costume from the movie’s opening. A magic costume Jack uses for his performances but it also has special magic powers. it can't be purchased at the Witches' magic shop. It allows Jack to control fire. At first, Jack needs red souls to fuel the suit but if you get the witches to upgrade the suit three times it will have a maximum capacity of ten fire souls, collecting all the trophies gives you unlimited power.
Santa Jack: This Jack's Santa costume used by Jack in his failed Christmas attempt. After Dr. Finkelstein is set free from Oogie's control he returns all the failed Christmas gifts as weapons, to fight Oogie and his soldiers.
