Biography

Jacqueline Sonya Briggs was a female human born in Earthrealm as the daughter of Jax Briggs and his wife Vera. After Jax was resurrected from being one of Quan Chi's slaves during the Netherrealm War, he met Vera and they went onto marry, becoming parents to Jacqui. After her birth, he became overly protective of Jacqui and wanted her to live a normal life.

Jacqui is a part of a small Special Forces team led by her friend Cassie Cage, alongside Takeda Takahashi and Kung Jin. After a training exercise where they battle Sub-Zero, the group heads to Outworld, where they resolve the civil war between Kotal Kahn and Mileena. After apprehending Mileena and recovering Shinnok's amulet, they are imprisoned by Kotal Kahn, but they escape with the use of Takeda's telepathy. After Shinnok is freed, Jacqui pilots the team's aircraft as they attempt to reach the Sky Temple before he corrupts the Jinsei. She is forced to make an emergency landing in the Dead Woods. Takeda, who has been flirting with Jacqui for much of the mission, finally gets a positive response from her when he says the woods remind him of his childhood. Enroute to the Sky Temple, the team is intercepted by Kotal Kahn's forces, who believe they worked with D'Vorah to steal Shinnok's amulet. She battles Reptile, who has spit in Takeda's eyes, and saves her friend's eyesight by washing his eyes with water. Takeda calls her beautiful. Their intimate moment is interrupted by Kotal's warriors and Ermac, who promises to destroy Jacqui as he destroyed Jax's arms. Jacqui defeats the construct, avenging her father's maiming. Jacqui then defeats Ferra & Torr and Kotal Kahn in turn, but the team is surrounded. They are rescued by Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei, and proceed to the Sky Temple. She worries that destroying the Elder Gods won't just destroy the Heavens, it will destroy everything in the universe. There, Jacqui and Takeda are wounded by Kitana, but insist they can fight off the revenants while Cassie and Kung Jin chase after Shinnok. They are successful in holding off Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao and Sindel until the crisis is averted, and promise to go on a relaxing date somewhere safe -- preferably poolside.

Jacqui is very protective of her family, but is easily annoyed whenever her father’s history of being Quan Chi's slave is brought up, as shown when Kung Jin continues to casually do so. Most recently, she has become romantically involved with Takeda Takahashi, Kenshi’s son and Scorpion’s apprentice.

Powers and abilities

At some point, Jacqui became a professional kickboxer and eventually competed in the Junior Olympics and enlisted in a training camp. She was trained Junior grade Olympic boxer, able to go toe-to-toe with Cassie and knock a grown man unconscious with her bare hands. Her fighting skills were further developed through Special Forces training.

She uses a pair of electronic gauntlets that greatly enhance her physical strength and can fire plasma energy, shotgun rounds, or machine gun rounds and rockets, depending on her variation.

Later on, Jacqueline now sported augmented digitized leg additions which work in unison with her bionic arm guards. They serve to increase her kicking power and lower body mobility in conjunction with her gauntlets, allowing her to deliver several high speed energized kicks in an instant.

On top of the lower body armor, her upgraded equipment can further augment her physical melee by channeling energized currents through her limbs in order to further augment her impressive brawling power.

Ms. Briggs also better incorporates more of the advanced weapons tech of Earthrealm's outer world response agency in battle. Making greater use of explosives and barrier generator technologies in conjunction with the chaingun function of her augmentative bracers. Said gauntlets also dole out energy pulses as blasts and arcing grenades which can painfully cling an enemy in plasma fire.

By adulthood, she came to enlist in the Special Forces where she reached the rank of Specialist and held the position of Sergeant.
