Biographical Information

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Jaxon Buckley (they/he) was born the fifth child of a large family in Hackensack, New Jersey. Suffering badly from middle child syndrome from being wedged solidly in the middle of eight siblings, young Buckley dreamed of standing out. Obsessed with hlorses, the old west, and cowboy poets, Buckley fantasized of becoming a cowpoke poet themselves.

Displaying a modicum of athletic talent in college, Buckley was recruited by the Trenton Centrists, where they spent several years refining their cowpoke aesthetic and serving as the team’s poet laureate. Buckley's focus on the poetry and hlorseriding aspects of their life, combined with their fierce commitment to economic justice, rendered them largely a benchwarmer, until a tragic riding accident cost them their arms.

While in the hospital, a mysterious and anonymous benefactor sponsored Buckley to receive a new set of experimental prosthetics. Buckley’s new metal arms proved a crowd draw at Centrists games, and when the sudden incineration of Mickey Woods left a hole in the Philly Pies roster, Buckley was called up.

Since moving to Philly, Buckley has taken the opportunity to join up with the Urban Rliders, a city-based hlorse-riding/cowpoke organization. This community of cowpokes finally gives Buckley the fellowship they’ve sought for so long, even as they try eagerly to win over the hearts of the grieving Philly flans.

Postseason 8 and Experimental Cybernetics

After the Philly Pies' defeat in the semifinals of the 8th season ILB, Jaxon Buckley received approval for a series of experimental cybernetic procedures, including the upgrading of their arms, and the implementation of nanomachines. These procedures were made possible by the discovery that Jessica Telephone's signature brand SK8 JUICE was a perfect suspension fluid for the nanomachines, and provided coolant to the arms.

Financing for the procedure was secured by a sponsorship deal with a vape juice company, also obtained due to Telephone, during her brief stint outside of the peanut shell during Season 8.

The nanomachines and new arms have massive power requirements, causing Buckley to go through several battery packs every at bat. While the cybernetics look impressive - particularly the horsehead pauldrons with glowing eyes - approximately 99.5% of the power used goes to powering the RGB lights that are responsible for Buckley's now iconic glow.

Procedure documentation obtained after the cybernetics' installation offer little evidence that the upgrades are the cause for Buckley's recent improvement in blaseball playing, as the majority of changes to the cybernetics were simply made to allow the implementation of the RGB Lights. Whether Buckley is aware of this fact is unknown, and it may be that the power to be a star hitter was inside him all along. In an interview about the procedures, Buckley said this.

"Ya know, tha one thing I can say is that tha glow I've been givin' off has been givin' our pitchers a mighty bit of trouble keepin' the blaseballs on target. Hopin' we can make a strategy outa' that next season."

Trivia

  • Chews cinnamon bark like tobacco. Frequent spitter.
  • Rides their hlorse Fl’tch’r up to the plate. Greets umpires and catchers with a friendly, "Howdy!"
  • Wears a cowboy hat, vest, and chaps at all times. Over the uniform. Hat goes under the helmet when batting.
  • Prone to breaking out a guitar and singing cowpoke poems to anyone who will listen.
  • Staunch socialist.
  • Buckley insists on riding Fl’tch’r when running the bases. This is not as much an advantage as it might seem as Fl’tch’r is surprisingly slow and Buckley loses precious time having to mount up after getting a hit.
  • Fl'tch'r seems to be absolutely terrified of former Pies player Summers Pony and quickly flees at the mere sight of them.
  • Fan's celebrate Buckley's homeruns by chanting "BE ROOTIN'/BE TOOTIN'/AND BY GOD/BE SHOOTIN'/BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY/BE KIND"
  • Knows how to sew and enjoys customizing own clothing
  • Buckley has spend a notable amount of time Elsewhere, most notably 39 days in Season 16 and the entire siesta between Seasons 14 and 15.
  • Of all the pies, Buckley considers themself closest to Yusef Puddles
