OFF CAMERA

[Jackson Cole is sitting on a fairly square couch in what appears to be a modern hotel room. He looks out the large sliding doors and sees the Gulf of Mexico. Jackson is already in Pensacola and getting used to being in The Sunshine State. He is a California boy through and through, but really what is the difference between one ocean and another... or a gulf? He is scrolling through his phone, and reading through some text messages from his mom and dad. They both are two of the most supportive parents any kid could have, but it was obvious from the get that he was not the same as them. People that look like him come from a different world, so he was always the black sheep is a crowd of white sheep. He stuck out like a sore thumb, but he embraced it. Jackson was thankful for what was given to him, and when he was old enough to grasp the situation his parents sat him down and went over his history. He was born to a white well-off young mother who was forced to give him up. She was forced to choose to raise a mixed race son alone or to give him up and better herself and her life with college and a promising the career. It was clear what she chose, as Jackson grew up as an adopted son. He was their only child, and was raised like he was their own. Sure, there were points in which he felt out of place with his parents but he loved them like any son could love his parents. All of this matters, as it is what brought Jackson to Florida. A few years ago, he wanted to do a DNA test and figure out his roots. He knew OF his mother, but nothing too specific. And a part of the agreement with him being adopted out was the fact that his birth mother's information would be kept secret except for vague info. Jackson scrolls through his phone, page after page of what looks to be some sort of scientific results. He scoffs at his phone and lets out a sigh.]

Jackson: I cannot believe I am here. This is crazy.

[And it was. Before we get deeper into his story, what led him to Florida was the prospect of family. He found out that his mom wanted nothing to do with him, and that was enough for him. He is sure that one day he could find out more if he needed. And obviously he once had a dad but learned that he passed some time ago. The interesting part... Jackson has a half-brother.]

ON CAMERA

[Jackson opens the camera app on his phone, and hits record.]

Jackson: Some people have a fancy video crew. Some people like to have a camera man and a sound guy. Me? I am a simple man. I am thankful for everything put in front of me. I am thankful for what God has given me. I am grateful for my parents. And I am grateful for the opportunity to be here in Florida to wrestle. I've been doing the indie thing for some time in Cali, and I have loved it. Coming to Florida has been two-fold for me, and it is going to be a way to push myself. Not only am I trying to forward my career and put my own ass on the line... but there is something personal here as well. Florida is definitely different from California in many ways, but man do the waves roll in and out the same way. The smell of the saltwater in the air. The wildlife. All of it? It reminds me so much of the same. But being away from home is so different. Being alone here on the East Coast. I knew that coming here it would be a challenge. Something new. Something different. And I am happy for that.

[Jackson takes in a deep breath and tries to segue himself into his next thought]

Jackson: Florida Wrestling Prestige... FWP. The first ever episode of Scion. What exactly does Scion mean? A descendant, child; especially a descendant of a wealthy, aristocratic, or influential family. Heh. Funny enough, I guess technically I would be a scion. And yet? I've put in the hardwork.... blood, sweat, and tears to get where I am today. Technically my birth mother was well off.... is well off? Whatever. I was adopted out to a middle class family, so I've never received any of those benefits of being wealthy.

[He shrugs it like it truly did not matter to him]

Jackson: I got myself to where I am today without the help of rich parents. Hell, I did it in spite of them. Abandoning my own children is not something I would EVER do. I will be an amazing parent... one day. Family means so much to me... more than most will ever realize.

[Jackson stands up and slowly makes his way over to the balcony of the hotel room. He leans on the railing to look out towards the Gulf]

Jackson: Aurora Graves. A name I am more than familiar with. I've long been a fan of wrestling. She is well accomplished as a tag team champion. Don't get it twisted, I know she is a hella of a talent and even as a singles competitor this match will not be easy. You mentioned all that you ever wanted was to stand at the top of the heap? I get that. Fully. And I respect that grind. I have no qualms with putting in everything I have into this match and laying it all out on the line. Win or lose, I will be happy knowing that I gave it my all. If I win and move onto the next round of the Prestige Tournament, holy hell that will be an accomplishment of its own. And if I lose? I lose to someone who clearly is a favorite in this tournament. Everyone knows Aurora and Damon Graves...

[Jackson looks around and whispers]

Jackson: I admire Damon... but Aurora? You were always my favorite quite honestly. Your no-nonsense sort of take while looking the way you do? Don't get me wrong... you are a taken lady and I respect that. But damn... the fact that someone can look so good and be so skilled? Looks that can kill I believe is what they say?

[He smirks proud of himself]

Jackson: But no... I do not plan on you rolling over and simply let me stroll into the next round. Nor do I expect you to not bring your A-game. I might be a young buck, but it is when you least expect it is when an opponent can catch you off guard. We both know that you are better than that, and I know better than to shake the cage of a lioness. Just don't expect me to be an innocent little gazelle either. You are not the only one on the hunt for something greater. Something shiny. Something golden.

[The video recording ends]
