Sometimes that means saving the greatest number of people, yet at other times that may mean saving the one person who is needed the most. He is often unsure which is better. Still, he is always willing to lend a helpful hand. A spiritualist, Jack believes the line between Guardian and spirit is blurred and none too clear. Through the communion of his spirits and frequent meditation, he gains access to their knowledge, experience, and wisdom relayed through dreams, visions, and intuition, though his interpretations are not always correct. He reveres spirits of all kinds, understanding that they are beings of nature and a part of the world just as much as a rock or a tree. This often leads him at odds with those who forcefully absorb and abuse spirits. A social butterfly, Jack hides behind a mask of happiness and smiles. He flits about from one group to another, dispensing a kind word here, a crude joke there, yet always keeping people at arm's length. A man of action, Jack often acts first based on his intuition, placing faith in himself and the spirits that guide him. Once a viable plan is set, he jumps forward into action. Too much time to mull about and ponder leaves him constantly anxious that is better dealt with when already committed to a plan.[/indent] [sub][color=EEE8AA]◆ B A C K G R O U N D[/color][/sub][indent] All along the borders of the Zone roam nomadic herds of doctors, scientists, and soldiers, moving with ever changing landscape. Seekers of knowledge, seekers of death, Samaritans and lowlifes of all types count among their numbers as they travel around in large mobile bases, acting as fringe outposts for the Nexus. However, these bases on wheels also house a rudimentary science lab for field researchers as well as holding all the supplies necessary for field hospitals for Zoners and soldiers alike. Popular targets for Aggressors, Fanatics, and Mordrem, all mobile bases come with the ability to self-destruct. But back then, there was no Zone. There was however, a city, north of Helston and nestled in the mountains. Concordia it was called, and in the city of Concordia was a boy named Jack. Jack's father was a doctor, working at some nondescript hospital while his mother was a physical trainer, both happily married and content by all means. Jack himself was a bright and loving boy, loved and cared for by all around him. Life was generally perfect. Then the Event. A Disturbance felt across the world, but heeded by little. At first there were no signs of anything being wrong. Life went on like normal, there was nothing special on the news save for an incident at Nexus Industries. There were the occasional refugees that trickled into the city, carrying strange scars and horror stories that were eventually all quickly dismissed. Then, as if a floodgate had opened, they came in all at once. Those who had their homes destroyed by the encroaching Mordrem sought shelter wherever they could. They came into Concordia by the tens, then hundreds, then thousands. Curfews were placed, barricades were built, security blocks were established as more and more people infected with Stigma came, with the consequence of more and more husks appearing everyday. One day Jack's mother came home, sick and unwell. Weak and unsteady, Jack did his best to help his mother and it was then that it was discovered that he was a Guardian. After an extremely quick recovery, both his mother and his father spent more time and became even more affectionate with Jack as they knew the city was safe for their boy no longer. Far too soon for his parents, the day came when they received a letter from Oakridge, congratulating Jack on his acceptance for his "unique abilities." The next day, Jack was sent to Oakridge, never to see his parents again. The last he had heard of them, Concordia had fallen to the Mordrem. His father managed to flee and now worked at a mobile base, helping all those in need. His mother died in the attack.[/indent] [sub][color=EEE8AA]◆ W A R F A R E[/color][/sub][indent] Jack's magic is often only used for utility reasons or to incapacitate a foe. Unlike other Guardians, Jack prefers to fight at range using (often) modified military equipment. Through a combination of studying and spiritual knowledge coupled with constant training and a touch of spiritual assistance, Jack is a precision marksmen who can place shots where they'll do the most damage. In melee, Jack is a brutal pugilist. Agile, quick, and armed with steel plated cestuses, Jack strikes with incapacitating jabs and devastating critical blows.
