Colton Jackson

Colton Jackson is a mage of the Black Rose Guild and a member of the Spear of Gaia Team. Colton was once a dark mage of a guild that was said to serve directly under Zeref. His prowess in the art of the sword has made him a very famous figure among other swordsman. He is also the practicioner of the Dragon Cyclone sword school.

Appearance
Through out the whole series, Colton has jet black hair and keeps it in a rather messy hairstyle. He has navy blue eyes that once shared a terrible past of serving a dark guild. He also carries around six 150cm Murasame katanas that have their blades pure black, the tsuba is shaped more like a rapier's guard in which the color of it is silver. White cloth is tied around the handle like a traditional katana, and a small dark steel chain is dangling at the pommel. His physique is slender yet toned, with only a small increase of muscle after the timeskip. He also carries around with him a sapphire jewel necklace with it's potential being a mystery.

In the start of the series, he is shown wearing a white and blue Gi. You can tell that he has been through a lot of battles since the sleeves are short, tattered, and torn. The slacks are also somewhat the same deal, with the tears revealing his ankles. The pants are supported by a purple cloth belt that is tied around his waist. He also wears straw sandals with navy blue straps. He is the shortest male in the team, and one of the skinniest.

During some flashback scenes in his days of being a dark mage, he wore long black kosode robes that hand white trim. He also wore a pink dobi around his waist, having different straw sandles with black straps. His hair is also slightly shorter and more neater.

After the timeskip, he gains a much more professional appearance. He wears highly decorated, violet blue oriental robes that have a strong material. On his right shoulder, he has a pale gold shoulder pad that has a few sharp feathers coming from it. Colton has also gained a scar on his right cheek in the battle against Inquisitor knight, Lucius Grimoire. His physique has gotten more muscular and has gotten taller, being almost the same height as Zack Talos and Gabriel Leonheart.

Personality
Colton's general personality is rather interesting. He loves to tell jokes, especially very dirty ones that would make almost anyone laugh. He is also immature, as stated by Zack Talos after Colton tricked him in a homosexual position, which then punched the S-Class mage very hard. He is a guy that can also liven the atmosphere, cracking a joke from time to time, getting his teammates into playing a rather ridiculous game and somehow winning, and even being a life of the party when Gabriel isn't there.

In battle, he will not take combat as seriously as other people, causing him to taunt his opponents each time they make a mistake. He is also rather relaxed about it too, using only one sword. Colton would often play games with them too, angering them to an extent. However, he won't back down from a challenge. But when the oppenent gains a major upperhand, Colton will get serious, cracking a wide, crazed grin. He will then fight with full force, as if he was possessed by a demon.

In training, he takes it rather seriously, like Gabriel and Tetsu. He would sometimes meditate, but would often try to learn knew sword techniques as well as master his current spells. He would often request either Zack or Gabriel to spar with him, just to keep his fighting at his peak level.

In the past, Colton was a rather more cold of an individual, doing whatever he pleased. He resembled a bored, psycotic, deliquent who would often go out and mercilessly kill any unlucky soul that bothered him the slightest. But after his defeat at the hands of "him" and the inevitable destruction of his guild, Colton soon reflected on what he had done and he became the way he is today.

Magic and Abilities
Supernatural Strength- Colton's strength is a marvel to normal humans, but isn't as strong as other people. He can only lift objects four times his weight with two hands. He can also do other astounding things, but it is a far-cry compared to other mages.

Formidable Magical Power- Even though he doesn't take most of his fights rather seriously, it has been revealed that Colton possesses a powerful Magical Aura. When he's serious, a very dense, visable, black aura forms around his body, crushing the ground underneath him and causing large rocks to levitate off the ground. it also causes fear and/or shock among friends and foes alike.
