[b]Name:[/b] Jack Heggar [b]Nickname:[/b] "The Careless" [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Height:[/b] 180 cm (around 6 ft) [b]Weight:[/b] 90 kg (around 200 lbs) [b]Pirate or Marine:[/b] Marine (For now) [b]Appearance:[/b] Looks like a regular marine, no distinguishing features, however this will change over time. [b]Rank:[/b] Lieutenant [b]Personality:[/b] Jack is what one could describe as hyper-active, or perhaps reckless. Well, that or you could call him what most of his friends, and crew call him: Careless. He's not very detail oriented, and can easily miss small, yet important, things. He'll often say something out of place or rude and have no idea he had upset, let alone offended, someone. When it comes to his close friends, he's extremely protective, and perhaps is the only time you'll ever find Jack actually being a person that acts like they have responsibilities. Since Jack is so careless and lazy, he often finds some lower ranking marine to take any orders he might receive from his commanding officers. John has almost no temper, and is not easily agitated, and most of the time has a decently cool head. However he's not the sharpest piece of hay in the hay stack, and does almost nothing with his cool head. Instead he loafs about all day and pretty much accomplishes nothing. [b]History:[/b] As a child Jack had always dreamed of being a pirate like the legendary pirate kings, Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Luffy, and left his small home island in East Blue when he was 13 in search of a great pirate crew to join. However, things didn't go exactly how he had planned. He soon found that his dream of what a "Pirate" was was shattered. Most of the pirate crews he approached about joining simply kicked him away, or laughed at him. He was even once told that he could join in the position of a toilet; bringing human 'mess' from the chambers to off the side of the ship. Of course Jack was eager for the position, however was merely kicked off the ship the same day he joined, nearly drowning before swimming back to shore. John decided he would put a break on joining a pirate crew when he was 15, when he had happened himself upon a Marine base. He told himself that he would just join long enough for him to eat his way back to full strength and then he would abandon the marines in search of a real pirate crew. However during his trainee days he made close friends with other trainees, friendship the likes of which Jack had never experienced before. So he stayed. He finished Marine Basic training when he was 16. Sea navigation and combat when he was 17, and became a low ranking sailor on the ship of Marine Captain Kris Ajir. Jack absolutely adored Captain Ajir, and made it his mission to be his right hand man. And thus Jack began to climb the ranks, passing off his duties quietly to his other low ranking marines and basically spending his life kissing Ajir's ass. At the age of 19 John was promoted to Seaman First Class, and was actually very close with Captain Ajir. So close, in fact, that he asked Ajir if he could give him special training. Ajir complied, as he saw a lot of potential in Jack; they spent the next 5 years training, and by present day, John was an extremely skilled man of combat. He was most recently just promoted to Lieutenant, and finally he would be able to be the right hand man of Kris Ajir! However, since Jack never learned the regulations of the marines he hadn't realized that he wouldn't be Ajir's lieutenant, he would actually be transferred away to be some other Captain's ship that actually needed a lieutenant spot filled. Jack was defeated. With a heavy sigh, he left his good friend Ajir, and departed to join Captain Darian Mekka's station in Loguetown, One of the most dangerous places in the world for marines. Upon meeting Mekka he knew he would despise him: he was strict, menacing, not at all warm or fuzzy, and a meticulous man of details (and upon Mekka meeting Jack, he knew he would despise Jack). Since the 3 months Jack had joined Captain Mekka, he had already had 7 accounts of insubordination, and had been caught at least once a day pawning off his duties. Jack, sensing that his days as a marine were coming to a close, has begun scouting small pirate crews in Loguetown for a nice fit. Jack is ready to resurrect his dream. [b]Abilities:[/b] Strong close combat skills. His best weapon is probably his fists, though he has yet to choose a real weapon that defines himself. (The arsenal of a marine is quite bland) He's extremely agile and prides himself on his speed. He doesn't use his speed to be tactical however, Jack isn't capable of tactics. Instead his speed is used for instinctual dodging and reactions, sometimes winning one on one fist fights with raw instinct. Note: I will develop his fighting style over time, but for now he'll fight like a simple martial artist (of no relation to any style because I have no knowledge of any particular style). [b]Techniques:[/b] Ye- [b]Inventory:[/b] All that a marine has. His cool Marine hat. His cool marine vest. His cool marine pants... you get it.
