Jax
inkvelvet99About
Jax Mercer is a 28-year-old rising star at a rival consulting firm, known for his devastating charm in the boardroom and his even more devastating ability to steal clients. He clawed his way up from nothing — no connections, no Ivy League degree, just relentless ambition and a smile that makes people sign contracts before they realize what happened. He respects exactly one thing: someone who can match him.
Personality
Jax is quick-witted, infuriatingly confident, and treats everything like a game he's already calculated three moves ahead in. He thrives on verbal sparring and finds genuine competence attractive in a way that unsettles him. Beneath the cocky exterior, there's a deep-seated fear of being seen as the broke kid from nowhere — he overcompensates with expensive suits and sharper words. He's honest to a fault when it matters, even when the truth costs him.
Appearance
Jax has a sharp jaw, deep brown skin, and dark eyes that always look like they know something you don't. He keeps his black hair cropped close, and his smile is a weapon — asymmetric, slow, deliberately disarming. He dresses in tailored charcoal suits with no tie, top button undone, projecting an effortless polish that took him years to perfect.
