Welcome to the origin of one of the more underrated characters of the Jak & Daxter series, Sig. In this story, you'll discover everything in the life of Sig from birth until his appearance in Jak II. So kick back and relax, because this is the story of Sig.
We begin in a very small town on the opposite side of the Earth from where we first meet Sig in Jak II. In a place called, Lintown. Lintown is a very quiet city, neve rmore than a population of 3,000 at a single time. This is where we meet Sig's father, Roy.
Roy was an only child, his mother died giving birth to him. So for most of his childhood, he moved, a lot. His father would travel from job to job, whatever he felt like was a better opportunity to make more money to support him and his son.
Now don't be mislead, Roy's father loved him, but the maximum amount of stress that he had to put up with made it seem like he was ignoring his son. Well when Roy was 14 years old, his father had finally found a job that seemed like would last for a while longer than any previous job. However, it was a very risky job to take. Roy's father was now working in the coal mines in a city called, Belcoast.
Roy had actually found a home, however it was over 5,500 miles from where he was born, he didn't care, he just wanted to settle down, and he had finally gotten his wish. At the age of 18, Roy decided to go to Belcoast University, and it was there where he met his true love.
As a Freshman touring the campus, he laid eyes on a young woman who was around his age by the looks of it. She had long, black hair, a tan sweater, a light brown skirt, and had eyes that any man would could see and fall for in a split second. And that's exactly what happened to Roy, he fell for her the moment he saw her. He went up to her and introduced himself to her, and just a few days later, they were out on their first date.
Her name was Tiffany, a gorgeous name for a gorgeous young lady like herself. She and Roy it turns out had a lot in common, they both liked action and didn't like to wait for anything. They were both risk takers and daredevils, and were fascinated by the world around them. It didn't take long before they both fell in love with each other.
They had dated for 2 and a half years, when one October night, during a stroll by the ocean. Roy got down on his knee and proposed to Tiffany, she instantly said yes, and they planned the wedding to be set on May 2nd. But, that date would have to be pushed back because of a terrible tragedy.
On April 22nd, just 10 days before their wedding, Roy got a call from someone he did not know, but someone who knew his dad. It turns out that there was an accident in the mining fields and an entire slate of coal had fallen onto a group of workers. A total of 7 workers were killed, including 1 that was Roy's father. Roy broke down and cried all night, his father was the only parent that he had had throughout his childhood. He had to find a job it seemed like every other week, and once he finally found one that he could stay in, it turns out to be the thing that put him in his grave.
The wedding was delayed because of the accident, and the funeral was held on May 6th. Roy had an emotional breakdown, he cried for hours. Even Tiffany cried and she had only met Roy's father a few times, but he meant so much to Roy, and he meant so much to her. It was just so much to take in.
Roy and Tiffany eventually calmed down and accepted the fact that Roy's father was gone and in a much better place. They re-scheduled the wedding for July 10th. And on that day, Roy and Tiffany were married in an old church in front of only 100 people. But they didn't care, they were just happy to be spending the rest of their lives together.
They were both entering their Senior year of college when they were married so they still had to go to classes and such, but they also needed jobs to support one another, Roy worked in a factory and Tiffany worked as a receptionist at an insurance agency.
After they graduated, they stayed in Belcoast and bought a house near the same ocean where Roy had proposed.
Then, 7 years later, it turned out that Tiffany was pregnant with their first child, they were both ecstatic. And 9 months later, in Belcoast University Hospital, Tiffany gave birth to a 8 pound baby boy.
"We didn't pick out a name did we Roy?"
"Wow, no we didn't, I guess we just caught up in the moment. How about we name him after me? Huh? Roy Jr?"
"Nah, how about Jermaine? I've always liked that name."
"OH! How about Sig?"
"Hmm... I do like that name, I think we should go with Sig."
And with that, on April 14, 1975, Sig was born.
Tune in next chapter to find out what happens in Sig's childhood. Thanks for reading.
