I just wanted to vocalize a summary of my thoughts to Riot narrative about Jax.

I've spoken about Jax, Icathia and Zilean a lot in my posts, and on my other account Speak or Die too. I just really love Jax as a character, mostly because of the amount of time I spent playing him in game and I hope to god I get to see a single player game with him from Riot Forge.

Since Jax isn't actually developed all that much in canon, he has some core themes that I very much love. Going forward with his story, I am prepared to be disappointed, because I've built up an idea in my head about who I want Jax to be and that might not be what direction Riot is taking with him.

My first thoughts are his species. If he is human and deformed or if he some unknown species or if he is a sand troll (a popular theory from Necrit). I really, really dislike the idea of Jax being a troll. It disappoints me. I have been mulling it over for a while, and I have been warming up to it but ultimately I don't think I would ever be satisfied with it. I don't know many Jax lovers from a lore standpoint, so I don't really have any outside opinions.

Jax's current day relationships is something that that I hope is explored soon incanon. Kai'sa, Kassadin and Taliyah are my three biggest candidates. Kai'sa being the best, as they share a lot of parallels. Also any Icathians that could be still alive, Colgrim perhaps?

I'll try to list threads that I might have touched on in previous posts for all Jax related lore implications that can be explored if certain events happen in current canon:

  • Return of Icathia
  • Darkin and rise of Azir and what that could mean for Jax's goals/interactions.
  • Taliyah lineage and perhaps another mentoring relationship for her.
  • Kai'sa and Kassadin interactions
  • Jax's squad (Of which could possibly include people from Valoran. I have trouble conceptualizing this, but it's the most canon on the list so...)
  • Jax's old age, why is he immortal/extremely old age. (Yoda 2.0?)
  • Zilean and how the two cooperate/the friendship between the two. (Which has so much potential and makes my heart warm)

I know by now a lot of board regulars are probably sick of seeing posts about Jax from me, so I won't make any for a while. This is really just me reaching out to Riot in hopes of getting some returned input on the direction of my boy, or just an acknowledgement that they hear me.

Hope everyone has a nice day :)

Return of Icathia

Kinda hard to do that when only a bunch of Icathians survived cause Zilean

Darkin and rise of Azir and what that could mean for Jax's goals/interactions.

Doubt Jax would care about a threat that was already defeated more or less more than he does about the Void. Not seeing how Azir's return would change any of his other goals either.

The others are potentially cool plotlines
