Jet-Vac

Jet-Vac (ジェットバック, Jetto Bakku), is both a fictional character and protagonist from the My Little Skylanders series created by Lauren Faust and Eric Rogers. He is a wingless Sky Baron, veteran Air Skylander and class professor of Skylander Academy.

Jet-Vac was the greatest, most daring flying ace in all of Windham. He was given his wings when he was young, as was the tradition for Sky Barons. But when his homeland was raided, he chose to sacrifice his wings to a young mother so she could fly her children to safety.

This act of nobility caught the attention of Celestia, who sought out the young Sky Baron and presented him with a gift - a powerful vacuum device that would allow him to soar through the skies once again.

Jet-Vac accepted the gift with gratitude, and now daringly fights evil alongside the other Skylanders.

Biography
Noble, selfless, and brave, Jet-Vac is one regal eagle. As senior member of the Skylander team, this former flying ace is also tough-as-talons, using a drill-sergeant mentality to hammer his vast knowledge of the world into his young team members. And if that doesn’t work, he always has his trusted jet vacuum gun to intimidate them — with its awesome wind-blasting power, it’s enough to send even the most dangerous of villains soaring through the sky.

Ironically, the only one who can really ruffle Jet-Vac’s feathers is Spyro, whose cockiness often causes the two of them to butt heads. And as much as Jet-Vac tries to keep a stiff upper-beak, he’ll often accidentally "plop an egg" in the middle of a high-stress situation — battling villains, rescuing bystanders, or getting his students to be quiet during a test — much to his embarrassment.

This act of nobility caught the attention of Master Eon, who sought out the young Sky Baron and presented him with a gift - a powerful vacuum device that would allow him to soar through the skies once again. Jet-Vac accepted the gift with gratitude, and now daringly fights evil alongside the other Skylanders.

Personality
As one of the most experienced and the eldest Skylander of the team, Jet-Vac is loyal, noble, daring and courageous, Jet-Vac always think of others before himself. Now a Skylander, he soars where even eagles never dare. He's shown to be a bit of a defeatist, thinking his worth as a fighter is lost without a weapon. Jet-Vac also displays dedication in searching for what has been stolen from him, in his case, his lunch that was stored away within the Sky Fortress.

At first he was unable to think outside the box, unwilling to deviate from the plan (if he has one). It wasn't until his talk with Celestia that Jet-Vac started acting on his impulse to respond to emergencies. Like his game counterpart, when startled or stressed, Jet-Vac tends to lay an egg, which he abhors and frames on his bedroom as a constant reminder of his failure.

The Sky Baron also hasn't quite caught up with the modern day slang and uses several outdated expressions, and as a result is annoyed by the constant change and maintenance of technology.

In his youth, Jet-Vac stated that he was just like Spyro: talented, cocky, dumber than all of [his] teammates and acted on instinct without a worry about the rules. That all changed when he lost something that meant the world to him, his teeth. His father also came from a millitary background and had standards far too high for the professor to achieve, causing him issues with self respect.

Abilities
Jet-Vac can use his vacuum gun to attack with air or other objects stored inside; and over time he has also outfitted it with various sensors and tools. His Vac Gun also has magnets in it to suck objects or enemies. Though he is still active as a Skylander, his age has caught up and he is more prone to spacing out and having injuries than the younger members.

Jet-Vac attacks by shooting air blasts out of his vacuum device, and his secondary attack is that he can also use his vacuum device to suck up the treasures and enemies in the surroundings. He also can fly with his vacuum device. In Battlecast, Jet-Vac can also make the enemy attack itself in a tornado or the scrapped Hurticane; his special ability is Erratic Vortex, swapping in a random enemy, and his signature gear is the Duplicator Mark II, which copies spells from the enemy.

Past
It's traditional for Sky Barons to be given their magical wings when they are young, and when Jet-Vac got his, he quickly demonstrated some amazing aerial skills. As the years passed, Jet-Vac became known as the most daring flying ace in all of the world. He swooped. He soared. He sailed through the air, amazing the people of his home town, Windham, and protecting them whenever danger reared its ugly head.

Throught his life, Jet-Vac never imagined himself as being anything but a Skylander, and had a millitary background like his father. However, constant abuse and high expectations from him caused the Sky Baron to have extremely low self esteem and the tendency to let frustration get the better of him.

Then one day, Windham was raided, Jet-Vac was horrified to see a young mother struggling to get her children away from danger. He was faced with a choice - either fly to safety himself, or give his wings to the mother so she and her children could make their escape. Of course, there was only one option the noble Jet-Vac was ever going to go with.

He selflessly sacrificed his wings to save the others - and caught the attention of Princess Celestia in the process. While the feathered flight ace remains wingless to this day, she equipped him with a hearty vacuum-powered jet pack which more than makes up for it.

Jet-Vac was the one who recruited a sphinx named Scratch into the Skylander ranks after hearing about her heroism at Cats Eye Mountain.

Etymology

 * His name is a play on the word 'jet pack'.
 * Jet-Vac was originally called Vac Eagle, then Airgle.
 * His catchphrase is based on the military phrase "Shock and awe".

Notes & Trivia

 * He and Gill Grunt are the only Skylanders who fly using jet packs.
