- Spoiler:
Personality: Jack is simply angry all the time. His time as a Hollow pet has tainted him and warped his very essence, creating a soulless killing machine. At least, that's what the hollow think they've done. While it is true that he has been demoralized, his anger and torturous glee are both fabrications. Sometimes he actually does hold this anger, and finds it easier to slip into the facade day by day, but for the most part, he's a very calm person.
While he does have an intense amount of pride, it is not for quincy or the quincy way. Jack, oddly enough, has a large quantity of Hollow Pride. Unlike other quincy, Jack doesn't hate all hollow. In fact, he was raised by Hollow, which means he has a familiar love for them. Although his diet had been changed to include Hollow, he holds no ill-regard for them, similar to how if a hunter eats a deer, they may not hate all deer. Food is just food.
Everyone needs to eat. It doesn't matter what. If they don't eat, they'll die. It's just survival of the fittest. People need to stop taking food personally. A meal is only a meal. Even if a rousing battle full of blood and action (which he enjoys; Jack became quite the adrenaline junkie with his lifestyle)
The hate that most quincy have for Shinigami and Soul Society, however, is concrete set. He hates all shinigami with a passion. He will wait for them to prove themself to him, as reason tells him to, but if they prove themself to be a useless creature or fetter, he will destroy them. Soul Society is a petri dish for scum.
Fighting Style: As a quincy, Jack focuses on a ranged style of fighting. His abilities and techniques not only work better for him to be farther away from his opponent with quite a distance, but actually force it. There are very few techniques in his arsenal that allow for him to fight close ranged, but there are some. To put it in a ratio, he is 90% Ranged and 10% Close Combat. Because of his need to get away, his speed level is quite high. Having to fight with his speed at such high levels has increased both his reflexes and perception to incredibly high points. He can perceive an opponent, instinctually fight back, and get away from them in very smooth motions.
Background: To say the least, Jack was an accident. Not in the sense of his birth, he was planned between a quincy mother and human father, and conceived normally. At the age of five, his quincy powers were just beginning to manifest. His reiatsu would flicker around him occasionally, an orange glimmer tussling his brown hair. The accident was when an arrancar tore open a portal to earth and stole him. He was whisked away in the middle of the night, his parents not having a clue. The purpose? The arrancar in question was one of those with mass intelligence and curiosity. His hypothesis was that anyone could be brought down to an arrancar's level, that of 'evil'. He was right.
He was raised in hueco mundo as a hollow. The arrancar that raised him was named Rey Calabaza, and actually was a decent father. Surprisingly, he taught him everything he actually needed to know to survive. He could find food and water (Though he was raised as a hollow, the arrancar knew he needed to eat human food), although there was one catch. Jack was slowly adjusting to eating Hollow. By the age of 10, he was capable of eating Hollow normally. By the age of 12, he and Rey became well known in Hueco Mundo as a traveling pair of psychotic monsters that devoured all. They were, however, in no way affiliated with Las Noches and avoided any espada that came near them.
As he matured into a young teenager, he began to grow bored of simply shooting arrows. It was too tame. He needed more in his abilities. Rey agreed; An archer was nothing without some specialties. He needed something awesome. Something super special awesome. There was only one place he could get it, as well. Letting Rey open a garganta, he bid his father farewell and traveled to Earth. He wouldn't be back soon. For four years he looked for other quincy. It didn't take him too long. The quincy were a proud race, and though they were rare, they recognized their own kind.
Due to the taint of his father, it was discovered that Jack had a certain style. His arrows seemed to give off a special after-effect; an image in the form of a pumpkin. In fact, everything he did had a special pumpkin motif. For this reason, he dubbed himself the Pumpkin King, and everything he did or made after that was sure to have a pumpkin style.
He was taught how to perform Hirenkyaku, form reishi panels, and even use Ginto. The most powerful thing he gained, however, was a special glove. His master had' actually given him a quincy glove in order to utilize his full potentials. The master taught him how to create seele shneiders as well, and even use Ransotengai, though he hasn't quite mastered it yet. His full potential, however, lies within his specialized arrow techniques. There was one thing he needed to do, however.
Using his special ginto, he was able to return to Hueco Mundo. Finding his father, he found the arrancar dead, slain by a shinigami. Why would someone kill his father? He was a gentle man, kind and caring. ...More or less. Enough was enough. His brother hollow may have been a tad barbaric, but they weren't evil by any means. Simply hungry. Everyone had to feed. It was finally time for him to use his abilities for something other than self-gratification. It was time to wage war on the murderous scum that was the Soul Society.
