To his superiors, he maintains vacant expressions nearly all the time, and responds bluntly, with no unneeded elaboration or off shooting. He answers politely, whilst always accepting every order given to him. Outside duty, when casual, Jackson is fun loving and full of humor. His devotion to his duty may keep him cold when on duty, but it does not affect his personal life, his humor, his need to have fun, or his occasional womanizing. To friends, he's the life of any party, and often a go to guy when a friend is needed. To women, he's a tantalizing bachelor with charm and promise, often difficult to refuse.

Ambitions
Jackson has reached a high level of enlisted duty, gaining a warrant. His ambitions are met to as high as he's had them in terms of career.

Jackson was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on April 23rd. He spent the early years of his life on his parents farm, learning the ins and outs of wheat farming. Until he was 14 he was home schooled daily by his mother, a Dentist, and brilliant scholar, and his father, a Federation Lieutenant Colonel, and martial arts and weaponry expert.

When he turned 15 he began training officially in Martial Arts institutions around Louisiana, learning multiple more styles, perfecting multiple styles by his 18th birthday, including Shorei-Ryu, Can-Ryu Jiu Jitsu, Tricking (a form of acrobatic showman martial art), and Muay Thai kickboxing.

Near his 18th birthday, Jackson enlisted in Starfleet. After training and weapons specialty, he found his first assignment aboard the Sovereign class USS Ajax. He began a simple crewman, although rising quickly in ranks to Crewman First Class within a year of service, and being assigned as a Security Investigations Officer. However soon after assignment the Ajax found itself in battle in the Delta Quadrant, outside of Federation contact for a month. Accidental deaths plagued the enlisted department, and Jackson found himself an acting Chief of the Boat. He was one of the youngest crewman, by this point only 23, but now the senior most enlisted man.

The Ajax returned from battle still surviving, and was repaired and returned to active duty within 3 months. When repairs were completed, the crew returned, as did Jackson, now assigned permanently as the Ajax's Chief of the Boat. He would serve on the Ajax for an additional 5 years before applying for transfer to another Sovereign class vessel, the USS Percival. After 3 years, he received a warrant from his Captain, who was so enthusiastic about Jackson's exemplary service, that he quickly promoted him to Senior Chief Warrant Officer.

Soon after, the Captain of the Percival was promoted to a Rear Admiral and put in an administrative position. Jackson then decided to apply for transfer to a starbase, and was granted station aboard the Starbase Deep Space 5, and promoted to Master Chief Warrant Officer.
