User blog:Wassboss/To Save a Warrior: Jason Voorhees vs Jack Torrance Rematch



Let's just skip the introduction and get right into this

Jason Voorhees


Jason Voorhees was born on June 13th, 1946 in Crystal Lake, New Jersey to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. Jason was born with severe deformities and was mentally retarded. His father left Jason and his mother soon after he was born and his mother kept him away from most of society during his childhood.

In 1957 Pamela got a job as a cook at Camp Crystal Lake where she let Jason attend during the day. One day he nearly drowned due to the negligence of two camp counsellors. Jason disappeared and thinking he was dead, Pamela killed the two counsellors the next year. The camp shut down after that and any attempt to reopen it was stopped by Pamela.

In 1979 there was another attempt to reopen the camp ending with Pamela killing all of the people who tried to open it except one who decapitated her with a machete. After his mother died, Jason reemerged from the lake and from that point on began stalking and killing people at Camp Crystal Lake. Jason kept terrorising the area for decades and seemed to always come back to life even when people were sure he was dead. Jason killed anyone who he encountered and progressively through being killed and coming back to life, again and again, became zombie like and resembled a walking corpse and tried to kill every member of his family for an unknown reason.

Weapon
Machete: Jason's preferred choice of weapon is a machete. Roughly about a foot and a half long and weighing about 1lb it is made from steel and was designed to cut through thick vegetation. Naturally this also makes it a solid killing tool as well and with Jason's superhuman strength is able to cut through limbs easily.

Jack Torrance
A writer that was hired as the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Jack Torrance took the job for the pay and the chance of solitude for a chance to better his writing. Despite being warned about the former owner killing himself and his family after succumbing to cabin fever, Torrance decides to move his family out with him. His son Danny, who'd he'd harmed while binge drinking, starts to have violent hallucinations, and his wife Wendy questions a doctor about Danny's psychological health. A staff member, Hallorann, consoles Danny and explains his psychic abilities. A month into the job, Torrance's writing has made no progress. Wendy becomes increasingly worried about the phone lines going out due to heavy snow, and Jack starts to have violent outbursts. Jack falls asleep while writing, but suddenly awakens and tells a worried Wendy he dreamed about killing her and Danny. Meanwhile, Danny stumbles in with a bruise on his neck and Wendy accuses Jack of beating him. Frustrated at the accusation, Torrance goes into the Gold Room of the hotel and shares a drink with a ghostly bartender, Lloyd.

Torrance and Wendy argue over taking Danny to the doctor, and he angrily storms back into the Gold Room. There, the ghost of former manager Charles Grady tells Jack he must "correct" his wife and child, and Torrance, gone entirely mad with cabin fever, agrees. Sabotaging the snowmobile and radio, Jack confronts Wendy and tries to kill her before getting knocked out and locked in the cabinet.

Grady, despite his doubts, lets Torrance escape to try and kill them again. Torrance grabs a fire axe, and starts to break through the bathroom where Wendy has locked herself in. He manages to break through, but stops when he hears the snowcat of Hallorman. Torrance surprises Hallorman, killing him. Torrance later pursues his son in the hedge maze of the Overlook Hotel, but loses him in the pursuit. Torrance, unable to escape the maze, freezes to death while Wendy and Danny escape on Hallorman's snowcat.

Weapon
Fire Axe: Jack's murder weapon of choice when he goes berserk is a Fire Axe. It is three foot long and weighs 10lbs with an axe head and a sharp point on the reverse side.

Overlook Hotel Ghosts
Jack will be assissted in this battle by the ghost of the Overlook Hotel. While they cannot directly harm Jason they have full control over the hotel and are able to do things like open and close doors as need be. They can also create apperations to try confuse, disorientate or scare Jason such as when the ghost of a woman who died in the hotel attacked Danny Torrance. They can also appear to Jack to give him encouragement or advice should he need it.

X Factors
Experience: Jason= 40/Jack= 10

Neither of these guys have much in the way of experience but Jason has the edge because he's been active a lot longer and has killed a lot of people, several of which actually fight back against him to varying degrees of success. Jack meanwhile only had about one night of "combat experience" and for the most part it wasn't spent actually fighting anyone, more just chasing his wife and kids around and killing an unsuspecting black guy (because of course it would be the only black guy).

Physicality: Jason= 90/Jack= 80

Jason is superhuman in many of his physical attributes most notably in his strength and durability. He has been shown punching through concrete, taking a person's head off with a single punch, throwing people though the air and with his machete he can chop through peoples limbs easily. On the durability side of things he has survived being shot multiple times, being struck with a wide variety of melee weapons and even having a motorboat propeller shoved into his face.

Jack is also shown to be pretty tough as he was able to smash through a door with his axe and ignores wounds like a slash to the hands and continues pursuing his victims. However Jack isn't durable in the same way Jason is, rather he just ignores wounds he receives rather than actually tanking lots of damage and the freezing cold winter was able to kill him after he got lost in the Overlook Hotel Maze. The best way to describe it is that Jason is superhumanly strong and durable whereas Jack is stronger and tougher than a normal person but not to a superhuman degree.

Voting System/Notes
Before you ask, yes, this battle is purely to prevent Jack from being removed from the wiki entirely as the rest of his battles are composites. This battle is set before Jason's resurection and thus he will not be immortal. Battle takes place in the Overlook Hotel.

In order to be counted in full, votes must be at least 5 lines long or have been done in an edge format.

Anything less than 5 lines but which is competently argued and thought out will be counted as a half vote. I will inform anybody if their vote is considered a half vote and allow them to amend it to bring it up to a full point.

Irrelevant votes will not be counted at all.

I reserve the right to award a vote as half or discount it entirely for reason not mentioned here if I feel it is applicable.

Voting closes on the 8th October.
