[*]Peronality: There are two types of people in this world (relatively); those who avoid trouble, and those who look for it. If Jack isn't looking for trouble, he'll welcome it with a smile. He's the same off camera, as he is on; Authentic, straight-forward, witty, bold (or reckless), relentless, and brutally honest. This has caused Jack to make a growing list of nemeses; between corrupt public officials & celebrities he's lampooned and/or exposed, a duplicitous rival anchor in the pocket of said officials, a lunatic conspiracy theorist with a cult of slack-jawed hicks, a disgraced MMA fighter he beatdown on live television, and his ex-wife.

Jack is often distrustful of authority figures, and is skeptical of rumors, and so on. A well-known phrase of Jack's is "CITATION NEEDED!", or more popularly: "And the source [i]cited[/i] is [u]his/her/their[/u] [u]ASS/ES[/u]!" But, when he does talk about various issues, some of his anti-corporation, anti-authoritarian, and centerist rhetoric is dismissed as conspiracy theory shlock. Which is no end of frustrating, since Jack often goes out of his way to debunk popular conspiracy theories. "The Earth is [u]ROUND[/u], damnit!"

Lastly, Jack is surprisingly insightful and open-minded. He's grown to lament his generation turn into the same stuffy, close-minded stiffs they rebelled against in their youth. This, and his authenticity is what endears Jack to most people; they feel like they can just be themselves around him. Even if he doesn't quite get what that is.


[*]Bio: Jack's life has always been a fight to be himself: At sixteen he ran away from his militant household, literally fighting in the mean streets of Los Angeles to survive. At nineteen, he met and married who he thought would be the love of his life... Until she divorced him after ten years of marriage, and ran off with their son, Nick, to be with a man she'd been cheating with for years. His career as a journalist saw Jack spout the same corporate-friendly rhetoric he railed against in his youth, through a plastic smile that got heavier through the years.

For a while, Jack was depressed. He went through life on auto-pilot, before trying to drown his sorrows in a bottle of Jack Daniels, night after night. Then he got a story; another shooting where a little girl lost everything. As his "colleagues" tried to use this heartbroken girl as soapbox for their prepackaged bipartisan politics, and the police practically looked for an excuse to ignore the case; Jack snapped. He tore into everyone; the callous news network for practically celebrating tragedy and worshiping the witless elites that were turning the world to crap, his ex-wife and her wealthy family for making him give up who he was for a life he'd grown to hate, and himself for allowing the promise of what his parents denied him to marry that bitch in the first place.

And so, The Raging Reporter was born. No more did Jack bite his tongue and lie through his teeth. No more did he distance himself from his estranged son. No more did he just sit idly by as the world seem to fall apart. Jack became the man who fought for the truth. Often literally.
