Jaxson Morrison

Jaxson "Jax" Wayne Morrison is the father of Kylie Morrison/Aura with his ex-girlfriend Corrina Buchannon, the son of the late Jefferson Morrison and Mary-Beth Morrison, and the older brother of Lorelai Morrison. He is a human ally of the Mutant Underground and is currently in a relationship with Lucille "Lucy" Dawson/Lynx.

Early Life
Jaxson was born in Norman, Oklahoma on a large farm to his parents Jefferson and Mary-Beth Morrison. Six years later, his parents had their second child, a daughter named Lorelai. All his life, Jaxson loved country music and dreamed of becoming a singer. He wrote his own songs and was taught how to play guitar. When he was in high-school, he met a girl named Corrina Buchannon and the two fell in-love, despite being from different social classes.

When Jaxson was 23, Corinna (who was 21 at the time) revealed she was pregnant. On March 20, 1998, they welcomed their daughter who they named Kylie Rae Morrison. After her birth, Kylie became Jax's entire world and he promised he'd always be there for her. Four years later, Kylie manifested powers, and shortly thereafter, Corinna left, leaving Jaxson to raise their daughter alone.

Four years later, Jaxson decided to travel and try to promote his own music, and brought Kylie along with him. While traveling, Jaxson home-schooled Kylie while supporting them by playing in various bars, clubs, hotels, and the occasional music festival. This went on for six years.

One night, after helping a mutant woman and her son escape an abusive situation by driving them to the bus station in Savannah, Georgia, Jaxson's truck was pulled over by Savannah PD, the cops were also Purifiers and questioned Jaxson about the woman and child he helped. He answered with he was simply being courteous, and was helping them out of an abusive situation. He also voiced his view that mutants shouldn't be attacked or abused for simply being different. A fight broke out between Jaxson and the Purifiers, which Kylie intervened in, wanting to protect her father. During the fight, Kylie was hit by one of the officers and she lost control of her powers, which were amplified by the already growing storm. Seeing her as a threat, the officers went to arrest Kylie, but Jaxson intervened. One officer aimed his gun at Kylie, but Jaxson wrestled it away, and ended up getting shot in the stomach. He collapsed on the road and watched as the officers tasered Kylie until she was unconcious and threw her into the back of one of their cruisers. Jaxson then passed out from blood loss.

Five Years Searching
Jaxson ended up surviving the gunshot wound because a local farmer heard the commotion and helped him to a nearby clinic. After recovering, Jaxson spent the next five years searching for his daughter, guilt-ridden that he let her get taken. He sold his guitar to a friend they met in Chattanooga, TN for some extra cash. Jaxson eventually got a job under an alias, being a driver for Sentinel Services, transporting mutants to different detention centers. He only took that job as a way to find out what happened to Kylie, and he also helped some mutants get to Underground way-stations instead.

Eventually, Jaxson's aid to the Mutant Underground was found out and he was arrested as well. He was thrown into a cell with Reed Strucker and later met Lorna Dane/Polaris. The three were set to be transferred to a secret prison, but were rescued by members of the Mutant Underground.

Season 1
Jaxson was en route to being transferred to a secret prison that was operated by Sentinel Services. He found a kindred spirit in Reed Strucker in the fact they were both protective fathers over their mutant children. Jaxson also learned Lorna was a member of the Underground and praised her for her bravery. He also learned that Lorna had helped his daughter, Kylie, and was grateful she was safe. However, during the prison break attempt, Jaxson took a bullet to the leg protecting Lorna. Once she was able to access her powers, Lorna freed them from the truck and Jaxson witnessed Kylie using her water manipulation ability to flood the street and knock over the Sentinel Services vehicles, the water having taken form of horses before making contact with the vehicles. Despite his injury, Jaxson ran to Kylie and embraced her, holding her close and on the verge of crying. Kylie instantly returned the embrace and began to cry herself.

Jaxson was later taken back to the Atlanta HQ and received medical treatment for his leg injury from Lucy Dawson/Lynx, for which he showed an immediate attraction to, even admiring her Lynx ears and tail.

Personality
Jaxson is a caring man and not afraid to show his emotions to others, however he also very protective of those close to him. He's one of the few percent of humans who accepts mutants and believes they shouldn't be persecuted for being different. Above all else, Jaxson is a devoted father as he decided to take Kylie with him while pursuing his music career rather than leave her with his parents. He even risked getting killed protecting her from a group of Purifier cops, and felt extensive guilt when he couldn't protect her from getting arrested for using her powers to help him.

After reuniting with Kylie and the Mutant Underground, Jaxson still showed his fatherly protectiveness, but also understood that Kylie was a young adult and didn't really need his protection. But, he was always there for her regardless.

Physical Appearance
Jaxson is a tall, muscular man with slightly tanned skin, brown hair that reaches the tops of his shoulders and blue eyes. He speaks with a slight southern drawl and has a deep voice. He typically wears boots and jeans with short or long-sleeved shirts and either a flannel shirt or some sort of dark jacket, and always has his hair down.

Corrina Buchannon
Jaxson met Corrina when they were in high school. Depsite being from different social classes, they fell in love and dated for a few years. This relationship resulted in the birth of their daughter, Kylie. Jaxson loved Corrina with all his heart, as evident by some of the songs he wrote which could be described as "country love songs". Jaxson will always care about Corrina, even though they're no longer together. Now they remain good friends.

Kylie Morrison/Aura
The day she was born, Kylie became the most important thing in Jaxson's world. Despite still being relatively young, Jaxson took on the role of being a father seriously and was always there for Kylie. When Kylie was four, she manifested mutant powers and Jaxson constantly told her that she was "special", loving her regardless. After, Corrina left, Jaxson continued to raise Kylie on his own (with the support of his parents and sister). He took her along with him when he decided to pursue his music career. He also felt immense guilt at not protecting her from a group of Purifier cops who arrested her when she was fourteen.

After reuniting with Kylie five years later, Jaxson was a bit overprotective of her, not wanting to lose her again. However, he soon realized that wasn't a little girl anymore and didn't need his protection, just his support. He stepped back and let her make her own decisions, and was always there whenever she needed him. As Kylie became an apparent leader in the Mutant Underground, Jaxson couldn't help but be proud of the woman she was becoming.

Reed Strucker
Jaxson found a kindred spirit in Reed when they first met, the fact being that both of them were protective over their mutant children and wanted nothing but for them to be safe. This bond eventually solidified into a sort of brother-like one as the series progressed.

Lorna Dane/Polaris
At first, Lorna was wary of Jaxson when she first heard he used to work for Sentinel Services, but when she learned that he actually helped mutants to various Mutant Underground way-stations, she warmed up to him a little. When Jaxson learned that Lorna was a leader in one of the Underground stations, and that she had helped Kylie, he felt indebted to her. When their prison transfer was halted and one of the guards aimed his gun at Lorna, Jaxson took the bullet to his leg to protect her, not only as his way of thanking her for helping his daughter, but because Lorna was also pregnant and he wanted to protect Lorna's child as well.

John Proudstar/Thunderbird
Jaxson was also grateful to John for helping Kylie and watching her back during the Underground's prison break attempt. Jaxson respected John as the Atlanta Station leader and backed-up his plans when needed. As his time with the Underground progressed, Jaxson eventually noticed some subtle hints of attraction between John and Kylie. Once the two became a couple, Jaxson began treating John like a son, and was grateful his daughter had found a man who cares about her.

Lucille Dawson/Lynx
When they first met, Jaxson was initially attracted to Lucy, even admiring her outward mutant features; her Lynx ears and tail. Wanting to be of some use, Jaxson often helped Lucy with medical emergencies, medicine runs, and taking inventory in the Underground station. The two formed a friendship over time. When the Atlanta HQ came under fire by Sentinel Services, Jaxson kissed Lucy in the heat of a moment. After that, they became a couple.

Clarice Fong/Blink
Jaxson is on friendly terms with Clarice, seeing as she is Kylie's best friend. He thanked her for helping Kylie escape prison.
