Standing at a height of 5'10, Jack carries himself with a confident yet approachable presence.

### Backstory

Jack was born as a resident in a random village within East Blue to a pair of parents that are simple town folk. His father was someone that sailed the seas to transport supplies, his mother a chef.

For his childhood, he had a relatively decent home life. Money was always available and his parents were kind folks along with their own parents seeing him from time to time. However, this was plagued due to the pirate era in effect.

The island consistently got pillaged multiple times, even with the marines ‘supposedly’ trying to help. Regardless of the authority’s attempts of aid, the number of marines was too thin to actually help out. Forcing some of the residents to take arms for themselves.

While the marines couldn’t complain too much, they worried about how this would cause potential invaders, specifically pirates, to outright try to kill those in-arms. One of Jack’s older family friends and father came to this predicted fate.

From this predicament, Jack out of revenge joined the next batch of villagers being trained. However, his peers during this seemed to be lucky as an older resident revealed herself to be a retired swordswoman, training Jack and other young and older members of the village to be at least a little more proper in defending themselves.

Of course some lives were still lost, but the number of those deaths lowered significantly. Eventually the village was able to have its own small police force to defend the island and join trips to defend supplies going outside the village.

This new development caused Jack to inspire to be a swordsman for most likely the rest of his life. During one of his trips, he starts to see the ocean bit by bit across the East Blue, giving him a sense of adventure.

Yet, karma seemed to be unjustified since good luck bursted into misfortune. The crew aiding the transporters were caught by drunk marines, who understood everyone’s roles, but wanted to display their corruption that day. Intentionally killing those that resisted, stole the supplies, and threatened to kill those that spoke a word of this.

One of the lower-ranked marines however had a different proposal, they just kill everyone regardless. Most of the crew were killed and Jack was one of, if not the only survivor. Lucky enough to escape despite the shots fired and some of the older members of the crew giving him and possibly other young members of the small band of sword wielders time to escape.

This marked not only the beginning of Jack’s personal journey of trying to see what he’ll do with his life, but also an understanding of him not being able to go back to his village. Internally scared to the core of what would happen if his face was associated and the marines find him there, especially what they would try to do to the residents.

## Techniques

* **Sparrow’s Counter** User takes a defensive position. Upon getting struck (usually by a melee attack), they will use a high-speed deflect before slashing as a counter. | Effective against melee combatants, not ranged.
