His muscle throws him toward the heavier side of the scale, though it isn't the toned muscle of a bodybuilder -though certainly as powerful as one could ask, it appears more flabby than chiseled of stone. Though his hairy skin is unmarked by even the slightest scar from the tip of his head to his waist, he bears a hideous scar below the belt. Beginning at his upper-right thigh is a mass of twisted flesh looking akin to a point blank shotgun blast. Sprouting from this grisly root is a twisting tree of blackened flesh that follows the branching pattern of a vein that reaches all the way around his foot to a spot of scarred tissue on the ball of his heel. [b]Background[/b]: Though he is quick to defend his heritage, Jack was born and raised in America -in fact, he hasn't ever visited the home country of Pakistan in his lifetime. His father emigrated from Pakistan as a child, and strove to find a better life for his future children. Where he settled in Alaska with his own father, he quickly settled in. Married with two beautiful children to a wonderful woman he met in the country, all looked up for the Jarwar family. Through close cousins, the young Jack was quickly introduced to the art of electricity -a twenty something cousin by the name of Cole was Jack's mentor, babysitter, role model, and best friend growing up, and introduced him to his own craft of electrical engineering. By the time he was growing hair in new places, Jack was handling wiring like an extension of his own hands with the pros. In his years growing into a strapping young man, he was always fiercely competitive with his twin sister -so much so that his parents never told the two who was the first out of the womb for fear of the endless arguments and shouting matches it might spurn. Though the twins fought neck and neck throughout life for the spotlight, they also truly cared for each other as well, and took care of one another through thick and thin. When it was time to leave home and find a career, Jack's sister chose to study at the University of Anchorage Alaska -sociology or something similarly useless, Jack supposed. Very much the opposite, Jack went straight into his trade, believing his own education to be completed. Through his connection to Cole, Jack was able to get good solid work in the field, not wasting a smidgen of his natural and learned talent. Though for some time this life seemed perfect, over time Jack got sloppy. Perhaps overconfidence, perhaps laziness -call it what you may, but something lead Jack to believe he could fix a malfunctioning circuit breaker in someone's flooded basement. While he had done similarly careless things before, even Jack himself could tell something was wrong leading up to the fix. Fate conspired against Jack, and though he almost made it clear before disaster struck, his right foot was caught in a stream of high voltage electricity. Destroyed tissue all up his leg ruined his ability to move with any elegance or grace, though the doctors said he was lucky enough to walk without assistance. After this incident, Jack took a bit of a hiatus from his career, taking a year to himself -a small cabin out in the woods of Anchorage. This time he spent largely recreationally -fishing, hunting, and bird watching for the most part. As he reached the end of his savings, he reached out to Cole once again to find his way back into the working man's world -he was shocked when Cole offered him a job available through connections, in the last place he might expect. Tokyo. Though many might cringe at the thought of moving so far from ones home, a life of moving around from job to job as well as his injury had made Jack more than used to a constantly changing world around him -in fact, he embraced it. Despite his rapport for change, one thing always remained static in Jack's life: his faith. From the day he was born, Jack has been a faithful Muslim without question. First thing he could, Jack hopped on the first flight he could get -everything went downhill (quite literally) from there. [b]Personality and Outlook[/b]: Jack is the kind of man who would be described by his closest friends as 'happy'. The kind to never lose a wide smile or childish chuckle as long as he's with company. Always giving a shoulder to cry on, never taking the same. Certainly likeable, he has a way of pandering to those around him -he tells people what they want to hear far more often than what he really wants to say -a large factor of what those close to him would call his 'charisma'. Another part of that which makes Jack so charismatic are his listening skills. Though he's absolute shit at 'small-talk' of his own, he has a way of getting people to talk, and making them feel like the center of his universe when they do. That said, he tends to shy away as much as he can from talking about himself. Insecure in many ways, Jack never feels quite 'good enough'. He always has something to prove, and goes to lengths to hide this about himself. While he presents himself in a happy manner, never actively showing any sadness, anger, etc., everyone has their breaking point. When under enough stress, or just too much emotion, Jack shuts down. As opposed to his usually constantly joking mood, he copes by closing himself off. He becomes less talkative, more aggressive, and very 'brood-y', for lack of a better term. His anger management skills aren't the healthiest, and usually involve breaking something. Though from time to time he turns to his faith as a Muslim to deal with these emotions, it's hardly effective. Islam shapes Jacks minor decisions, such as helping those who need it, and charity, but the edicts of Islam do not sway his decisions on major matters.

If it involves wiring or electricity, odds are Jack can fix it. People often joke that he's got wires for brains. [*]Fishing/Hunting- A skill picked up from his bored years in an Alaskan cabin, Jack can handle himself when it comes to killing animals, be it with a fishing rod or rifle. He can't use a bow, and his aim is only so-so, but he knows enough to get by. [*]Strength- In his life, Jack has never looked at something he needed to do, and found himself too weak to do it. While no Arnold Schwarzenegger, he has the muscle to get just about any job done. [/list] [b]Weaknesses[/b]:[list] [*]Bad leg- Jack's injured leg holds him back when it comes to feats of athleticism. Though he can walk just fine, his leg prevents him from moving any faster than a light jog without complications. [*]Critical thinking- Jack is not the most creative person. He tends to go at any problem the same way -brute force his way through, and if that doesn't work, let someone else deal with it. He always takes the simplest route, and doesn't overthink things. [*]Impatience- As stated above, Jack doesn't overthink things. The first solution he comes across, he tends to go with, even if it's not perfect. He tends to rely on sheer luck to get him through anything his brute force doesn't carry him through. [*]Gullible- Along with this, Jack is extremely trusting. Rather than taking time to fact check or even think through what he is told, he tends to simply agree right away. This has lead him to be far more of a follower than a leader in life.[/list] [/indent] [sub][h2]Inventory[/h2][/sub] [sup][sup][sup][hr][/sup][/sup][/sup] [list][*]A suitcase full of travel necessities -about two weeks worth of clothing, as well as general hygienic needs.
