Jack Skellington

OTHER NAMES: Sandy Claws, The Pumpkin King, Mr. Unlucky, Bone Daddy, Bone Man OCCUPATION: Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, Santa claws (Short lived, ended) HOME: Halloween Town SPECIES: Human (formerly; dead), Skeleton GENDER: Male AGE: unknown LIKES: Halloween, scaring people, his friends, Christmas, new and interesting things, dressing up as Santa (formerly): DISLIKES "The same old thing year after year" (formerly), quarreling, his friends in danger, Oogie Boogie POWERS AND ABILITIES: Flexibility, Detach-ability, Strength, Speed, Black Magic, Pyrokinesis (in his pumpkin king form) STATUS: Active PETS: Zero (ghost dog) PERSONALITY: Jack is very much an undead gentleman, graceful and patient in equal measures and can usually be counted on to do what is in everyone's best interest. Though his logic is sound, his reasoning can be questioned at times - he was quite thorough in his Christmas research but opted to go with what he and his friends knew when he decided to give Santa Claus the year off and take over for him. He was also oblivious to Sally's feelings for him throughout most of the story, showing that while among the more intelligent citizens of Halloween Town, he is very oblivious at reading people's feelings. This is backed up by the fact that he barely even recognized Santa's distress when they first met. It seems that Jack might be slightly naive at times, as shown that he trusted Lock, Shock, and Barrel enough that he believed that they would simply bring Santa Claus to him without causing trouble, despite them being in cahoots with Oogie Boogie, as well as not realizing all the chaos he was causing on Christmas Eve before it was too late. Jack almost never loses his temper and hardly ever raises his voice, but Jack was unable to contain his contempt for Oogie Boogie and did not hesitate to severely punish his old foe for endangering his friends with grim dedication. He is also highly optimistic. He like new things.
