PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Tall and lanky, Jack is the perfect picture of health despite his around-the-clock drinking. His vines which make up his skin, however, are black and withered because of his drinking, but if he doesn't drink, they turn green and tend to overgrow, making it difficult to function. His glasses, which are held on by holes on both sides of his head, are able to move freely and function as his eyes, which means it's perfectly possible for him to go blind if he loses them or breaks them. Luckily, they're easily replaceable, though.
He has a thick Irish brogue, though it's tinted with an English lilt that makes him easy to understand.
His alter-ego, created by Aveline, is the opposite of him. Whereas Jack wears mostly black, his alter-ego wears mostly white, as well as some red and black accents. This color scheme is a tribute to his creator, who also only wears red, black, and white because they're "the only colors babies can clearly see at birth".
PERSONALITY
Fond of stupid jokes, Jack likes to think of himself as witty and charming. Occasionally, he accomplishes this fantastical feat, but most of the time, his jokes end up making everyone (mostly Crow) groan. He is victim to numerous vices, such as drinking, gambling, and occasionally, smoking (even though THAT is extremely harmful to his body).
Jack has a tendency to assume the role of a father/uncle/etc. when around kids, and has effectively ‘adopted’ Aveline and Nobody as his own kids.
Because of his untimely departure from his previous life, Jack still misses his old family and has therefore decided that he will never marry nor date anyone again. However, other than his family’s personalities and appearances, as well as a few vague memories, he doesn’t remember much from his past life.
Despite Crow’s anger issues, Jack is very patient when it comes to dealing with him. And by dealing with him, that, of course, means cracking jokes until Crow tries to wring his throat.
Similar to how he tries to ‘save’ kids, Jack has a sort of ‘hero syndrome and tends to intervene wherever he can, desperate to save whoever he can. Because of this, he has often become the one everyone counts on to fix everything, and because of this, he often gets into a deep depression when he can’t fix things. His liquor, however, helps immensely, which is another reason why he drinks constantly.
PERSONAL HISTORY
In his first life, Jack lived peacefully with his wife and two sons in a tiny, impoverished village in Ireland. Though life was difficult, it was gratifying, and he was happy.
His closest friend, however, was not. In a fit of rage one night, his friend murdered him and buried Jack in his own pumpkin patch. Then, finally free to do as he pleased, the friend went on to wed Jack’s wife, whom he had desired since the first time he had laid his eyes on her.
His previous life a dreamy haze, Jack was brought to life and deemed Subject #9 by Dark, who went on to assign him as Crow’s companion. Though Crow seemed to dislike him intensely at first, they soon grew to be close friends (despite Crow’s numerous attempts to murder him). Together, they embarked on a variety of misadventures, most light-hearted, but not all.
At one point, Crow was killed by Shadow, and, in a bid to save his life, Jack took him to Aveline, who brought him back on one condition - a condition Jack has never, and will never mention. Oblivious to his sacrifice, Crow acted as though nothing had happened, much to Jack’s delight.
He has, with the help of Maelstrom’s other residents, overthrown Dark at one point, as well as his shadow, Shadow. However, this turned out to be a cruel trick just to damage his and everyone else’s egos, because a year later, Dark escaped and simply retook control.
Though Shadow, Dark’s fiercely loyal second-half, has harmed and assaulted everyone in Maelstrom, Shadow has not harmed Jack for reasons unknown. Many think it is to make him feel invincible and later damage his ego, but no-one explicitly tells him for fear of hurting him even more.
He has, with Crow’s help, aided several beings in their escapes from Maelstrom and Dark’s clutches. Among them was Nobody, who promptly had his memory erased after he was released. However, Jack made sure to give him a VHS that, although it wouldn’t remind him of Maelstrom, would remind Nobody of his own past. It was a birthday gift, but of course, Nobody can no longer remember that.
He now resides in Maelstrom, in Clear’s house, with Crow and numerous others, and takes care of Aveline, Dark’s “daughter” as though she was his own. Though Crow has grown increasingly agitated around him lately, Jack is oblivious to his repressed feelings.
