How's this for a take on Jax?

There's been a lot of community discussion about Jax and his mysterious past: Is he Darkin? Just a random merc who got an extra dose of whatever turns people into Champions? Something else?
Well, in a recent Factions storyline, Bilgewater's Summoners decided to use the political capital they'd earned through their victories in matches to recruit Jax for their roster, and so I had to come up with something for him. I was inspired by some recent conversations the lore community had about him and his possible backstories. I'd be curious to know what you think.

Obviously, I'd also like to hear what people think about this portrayal of Nami, but I feel that the lore community is more clear about her: she's a Champion of the Marai seeking a way to save her people from the monsters that roam the depths, and exploring the world of the "landwalkers" as part of that first quest. I don't think I strayed too far from what people expect from Nami. (The trickiest bit there was balancing her outward naivete with her inner strength; in the first part of the story, I think she's playing up the former in order to win over the somewhat hostile crowd.) In contrast, Jax could be written in several quite distinct ways.
