JackHammerJack, or Jack, is a human member of Pillars of Sun, and right hand man to High Priest Himo.

## Beginnings

Not much is known about Jack's early life, not even to him. He doesn't r̶̠̞͙̋̉ͅe̴̞̣̿ͅm̴̞̐͒̅͗é̴̛͓̦͆m̵̻͖͙̞̦̂͗b̵̥̩͙̲͆͂̓̀̑̃ę̸̡̬̯͉̈̓̈́͝r̶̘̊̃̽́. His memories start in the town of Hapatmitas, with him meeting HimoS401 and WhiskeyKnight. He became good friends with the two, especially Himo. Himo informed him about his search for a promised land for his religion. Jack, having no life that he could r̶̠̞͙̋̉ͅe̴̞̣̿ͅm̴̞̐͒̅͗é̴̛͓̦͆m̵̻͖͙̞̦̂͗b̵̥̩͙̲͆͂̓̀̑̃ę̸̡̬̯͉̈̓̈́͝r̶̘̊̃̽́ and nothing better to do, decided to follow Himo. This would get him into some hot water later once he was informed of Himo's illegal mining shenanigans, but nevertheless, Jack stuck by his side. Eventually, after a long time searching and the recruiting of TheTrueHogen, the promised land was found, and Pillars of the Sun was founded.

## Life in PoS

After helping to set up the initial infrastructure of the town, Jack set his sights on the creation of the town's first building. Jack had developed a love of alcohol after DrLunkin gifted him his first drink and a copy of Ancient Brews, so he naturally set out to build a bar. While Himo developed the religion, Jack built his bar and played around with recipes for alcohol, though at this point, he still had no clue what he was doing. Once the bar was complete, Himo helped come up with the name Pog Bar. Through Himo's frankly abrasive advertising campaign, the bar became fairly well known before it even officially opened. The opening day of the bar was a huge success, though very disorganized. Jack still had very little knowledge of how to make good alcohol, and Himo, seeing the potential in the bar, sought to remedy this. Renowned bartender Moyye was hired to tutor Jack, and tutor Jack he did. By the end of their hour long session, Jack had learned all there was to know about the making of alcohol. The Bar had more drinks than ever, and life was good for Jack.

## Notable Involvements

* Jack, Himo, and Hogen all fought for Dalatra Mosulia during The Viper War. While none of them were present during the sacking of Sewer Mafia, Hogen was the creator of Dalatra's Ring during the war. Jack and Himo assisted in fortifying Ardat Mosul, and both of them fought and defeated GreenTomato5.
* During one of HesVinnie & HesWinnie's raids on PoS, Jack was a main casualty having just forged a set of god armor only to have it stolen by the goblins.
* Jack was a competitor in the Rathnir Royale tournament in November of 2020, winning 2 rounds before ultimately being defeated.

## Disappearance

Around mid-November, Jack mysteriously vanished from Rathnir without a trace. It's worth nothing that shortly before this, Jack and Himo had gotten into a fight about the Pog Bar, and whether or not to expand the name to other bars. Jack's disappearance prompted Himo to re-evaluate everything that had happened with Jack up until that point. Himo came to the conclusion that Jack may have been a figment of his schizophrenia that Himo had brought into physical existence through sheer force of will. This was worrying for Himo, because if it were true, then even though Jack h̶͍̄a̶̮̥̐̓d̵̼̔̈́͂ ̸̧̰̲̼̟͠ǹ̵̡͚̲͉̇͗̊͘ė̵̺̼̃̕v̵̝̜͔̘̯͎̏̂̂̾e̸͇̻̯̎r̵̰̠̈́̄́͂̚͝ͅ ̶̧͈̠̳̿̃̽̃́é̵̦̝͇̼̳̖̓x̴͓̱̙̟̮̕i̷̳̯̜͊̍s̶̺̻͌̚t̷̳̣̲͕̏e̸̯̠͖͎̒̃ḓ̷̎͆̏̒͝ ̶͚̮̐̂̕ḯ̷̙̱̤̓̔͠n̷̳̣̗̠͈̹͑̈́̌͛̆̌ ̸̛̛̤͇̩͚̒̕̕ṯ̴̱̎h̶̖͎̞̣̤͒̄͜ḙ̸̬͕͚̜͋̇̈́̈́͒ ̷̝͓̗͍̭͚̉̔f̷͇̣̗̤̓̔̾̒̅̕ĭ̷̭̖̹̤r̶͔̍͌̈́̐̋s̷̘̩͕̳͓̀̾̀̌̅t̷̠̪̝͈͎͆̉̍́͠ ̸̝͕̞̠̲̅͒̂͌́̚p̷̡͇̘̼̤̦͑̔̎̅͠l̶̠͕͙͙̀̍̈́̑͘͠ä̴̰́͜c̴̢͔͚̼͑̑̉̄̊ẻ̶̢͖͎͖͙̙͘͘, his disappearance could really only mean that Himo had effectively killed him by stopping whatever he was doing that was keeping him alive. On January 14th 2021, Jack suddenly reappeared on the outskirts of PoS, wearing a new, tattered, p̵͇̓u̴̝̰̔͛̉̒r̷̦̳̳̘̒p̷̲̏̑̓͛̒͜͝l̷̗̪͎͙͕͍̐ę̷̛̫̘̙͖̾̂͝ ̵̢̹̲͍̺̈̆g̸̝̥̣̫̫̔͐ơ̴͈̞̈w̸̜͓̭̺̉͌̅̈́̓͗n̷̡̟̣͈͙͇̠̓̂͒͒.

Jack would spend a bit more time in the world of the living, VERY briefly becoming leader of Andorn. This didn't last though. Maybe as a result of Himo's imprisonment, Jack disappeared once again, for what seemed to be the last time.

## Emergence

Some time later, Jack would reemerge. Himo was gone, no one had seen him in months, but Jack was back. Jack thought he could use a new start, and took up residence in the city of Nox Aeterna, located in the Lunari Empire. Jack enjoyed his brief time here, becoming friends with local brewer TinTin and making a small fortune off of a blaze rod deal with the empire's empress, Amy. Though he liked it there, it wasn't his home. After a brief stay, Jack was welcomed back into Andorn, moving back into Pillars Of Sun. Finally, he was home.

## Personal

Jack tends to be a fairly accepting person, he's not one to judge someone at first sight. He loves when new people join the town, and is fiercely protective over the Pog Bar brand. He thinks the line of Pog Bars could be his legacy, should anything happen to him. He has a passion for brewing and alcohol, and is pretty good at it. He has a strong sense of loyalty to those he follows, but if he feels someone he follows has wronged him, he won't hesitate to let them know in a dramatic fashion. His loyalty is even stronger to those he considers friends and mentors, such as Moyye and Himo.

Recently, Jack has made some disturbing revelations about the nature of his existence. Up until his disappearance, Jack had thought that the reason he didn't remember anything before Hapatmiatas was simply because of some traumatic event leaving him with amnesia (Similar to what happened with Carpicious), but after his disappearance, he's been reevaluating what really happened. Jack has no memory of the months he was gone. He doesn't know where he was, or if he even was a̶̳͊̄͝n̷̡̜͇͔͙̉̃̋̚y̷̡̘̱̭̬̗̦̍̉̑̂̓̈́w̶̘̻̮̎̉̈́͗͘͘͝h̴̨̖͓̓ͅe̴̢͉̳̙͔̬͆̅̄r̵͉̝̰͚̃̓̐͠e̷̡̘͎͊̆̑̇͝. Maybe the reason he doesn't remember is because before Himo, he just didn't exist. If that is the case then, his entire life is subject to the whims of one man of debatable stability, and it's been shown that if certain criteria are met, he can just stop existing for a while. This created stress while Himo was around, but that stress is only amplified not knowing where he is. It's been so long since his last disappearance... has he someone become a fully realized being? Or is he still only a creature of cognition? Regardless, Jack still hears Himo's voice calling to him sometimes.
