There wasn’t much to say about Jakayla’s childhood. That probably could have been due to the lack of remembrance of it. As far as her memories went back, there was never any hint nor recollection of her parents. Her name was received from the orphanage she began in, something that was pulled out of a baby name book at random. To her, apparently her parents didn’t even care enough to give her a name before disregarding her. Thoughts of anger and resentment plagued her young mind, thus hardening her at a very young age. Concluding that she would be the only one taking care of herself, she left the orphanage and vowed never to look back. As a vagabond on the streets of Las Vegas, every day rang true to the cities main form of entertainment: it was a gamble. The name of the game was survival, and those who could not abide by its twisted rules disappeared, only to be later found in a back alley way somewhere. Jakayla, however, discovered early that the city of sin and pleasure could very well be manipulated in order to achieve one’s goals, thus making the rewards limitless. It was simple, play hard to win big. Anything less would result in a one-way trip to the morgue in a body bag. Her first memories were not fond ones however. Days were spent pick-pocketing and stealing in order to get a meal, while nights consisted of fighting to merely stay alive; many of them having been started by her. She learned a lot in those first years on how to fend for herself against the wickedness the city had to throw at her. Eventually she’d happen upon a gang who she joined, using them as much as they’d use her to accomplish their own goals. It was in this gang where she received the nick-name Jeyk due to her tomboyish attitude and short temper; the name would forever stick with her. For years Jeyk partook in gang crimes, blood fights, and the selling of information in order to establish herself on the streets. Despite the constant involvement of the LAMPD busts however, Jeyk always seemed to have a knack for never getting caught regardless of how hopeless the situation seemed. This feat alone earned her various titles and reputations. Jeyk Houdini, The Escape Artist, Runaway Jeyk... People got rather imaginative. Jeyk was not destined for a life of petty street crimes however. Once Captain Kirk Primas took control of the Gangs Crime Bureau, the LAMPD’s Special Operations Divisions, the crackdown on gangs in Las Vegas skyrocketed. Jeyk’s gang was one in many that suffered greatly with a record of 98.9% of it’s members being arrested on multiple accounts of criminal offenses due to cases consisting of hard evidence and facts. Jeyk was one of the few who remained untouched. Many believed her to have been personally involved in the case building that led to so many arrests, while others were convinced that she was really an undercover agent working for the Special Operations Division. Despite the claims, Jeyk has yet admitted to anything. The only hard fact is that she got off scotch free. Appearing to clean up her act, Jeyk was hired on as a runner for one of cities major casinos, Wynn Las Vegas. It was here that she was welcomed into the only family she would ever come to love and respect. Starting off working with the other runners, her nights consisted of following routes she was assigned to place large bets on sports games, horse races, or whatever else the higher ups wanted in order to multiply their profit and bump the Casino’s ratings. It was a job she excelled at, and with her knowledge of the city and shady past, it wasn’t long until said higher ups started to think her skills were being wasted on such a mundane task. Jeyk’s reputation eventually made it’s way to the Big Daddy himself, who quickly found more devious uses for her talents. Starting with discovering and delivering information to various important political parties, it wasn’t long until he was using her to deal with business and personal affairs alike. Life was beginning to smooth out for Jeyk as she finally found her place on the top. Things were great, up until Dark Day occurred... On that fateful day, Jeyk was involved in an important mission which, if successful, would land a crippling blow against her boss’s largest rival and adversary. Infiltrating the Casino, the task was supposed to be simple enough, however the world-wide panic of Dark Day voided her plans entirely, thus landing her in a position she, for once, could not escape. Beat down and surrounded by agents of the Casino, including the rival’s very own son, she was forced to her knees before him for a bullet between the eyes. The trigger was never pulled however, as the scene transformed into one of complete macabre and horror. Accompanied by screams of agony, metal lines appeared to burn through Jeyk’s skin all over her body, thus causing her flesh to melt and form around what appeared to be zippers. Crimson fluid soon stained her attire before her clothes seemed to simply vanish, revealing the cause of blood loss. Where portions of the zippers where open, her muscles and insides were clearly revealed to all. Lastly, from the tips of her fingers, metal claws painfully sliced through, thus completing her transformation into the Nightbane she had always been. Events of that night remained shrouded in mystery to all but Jeyk and the boss’s son. The agents who surrounded Jeyk that night were never seen again, and despite how the evening began, it ended with a very strong yet unlikely friendship. From there on out, Jeyk became her boss’s right-hand man as her life took a complete turn with one chapter ending, and another beginning... Edited by Jeyk, Jan 18 2011, 10:21 PM.
