Jackson is a sarcastic, caring, calm college student who enjoys nature, long trips, and skateboarding. He is a black man from Chicago and that is a large part of his identity. He studies computer science in school and interns at a hospital nearby. Although he loves technology and the city, he has to get away from it for a while. He often begs his father to take the camper van out for a trip and his father finally agreed. Jackson loves the rain and the moon and often takes time to gaze at them.
