## Signature

“Jack Lowery”

*Not to be confused with Jacob Neglotski.*

## Introduction

Jacob “Jack” Lowery is a leading character in Something Strange. He’s a member of the Lowery family.

## Family

Jack is apart of the Lowery Family. He has lived in an abandoned factory with his abusive scientist father, Vincent Lowery, ever since 2075, when his twin sister, Catrina Lowery died of due to an explosion. At the end of the show, Jack is freed, and reunited with his mother, Anastasia Lowery.

## Other Relationships

#### Gabriella Neglotski

Gabriella and Jack’s relationship is quite the rollercoaster. At the beginning of the show, Gabriella has absolutely nothing good to say about Jack, going as far as to call him a snake. She viewed him as competition for being the first to figure out about the mystery of Vincent Lowery, until figuring out that Jack is Vincent’s son. After trying and failing to interrogate Jack about his father, Gabriella decides to form a truce with Jack. After that, Gabriella and Jack view each other in a less negative light. After Gabriella learns that Vincent wants to kill her and her friends, she seeks Jack for help with escaping. While reluctant at first, Jack decides to help her. After the trio leave, Gabriella feels as if something is wrong and that Jack has somehow gotten hurt. Gabriella finds Jack and assumes he is dead, which causes her immense pain. However, he lives. By the end of the show, Gabriella and Jack have grown to be quite close.

#### Vincent Lowery

Before the Incident of 2075, (Catrina’s death), Vincent and Jack had a healthy father-son relationship. However, after the incident, Vincent grew hateful and bitter towards Jack. Vincent does not care for Jack, and wishes that Jack were the one that had died instead of Catrina. Vincent hates Jack to the point of wanting to “exterminate” him, and going through with it.

#### Catrina Lowery

Jack and Catrina were two peas in a pod. They did everything together, including their magic shows! However, Jack and Catrina’s time together was cut short, due to her untimely death.

#### Anastasia Lowery

Unlike Jack’s relationship with his father, Jack and his mother are very close. Anastasia deeply cares about Jack, and spent almost all of the seven years he was missing searching for him, and she does end up finding him and the two return home happily.

#### Rose Russyl and Andrew Maple

While not very close to either of them for most of the show, Jack is on good terms with them and helps them and Gabriella escape at the end of Act One. At the end of the show, Jack joins their friend group.

## Music Pieces

### Jack’s Leitmotif

Throughout the course of Something Strange, a few repeated leitmotifs can be heard. These leitmotifs are associated with certain themes or characters. One of these is Jack’s. Jack’s Leitmotif is first heard in “The Overture”, and last heard in “The Bridge Breaks”. The Leitmotif is a key part of Jack’s main song, “Stupid!”, and is the bridge of the song.

### Jack’s Intro Music

Jack’s Intro Music, (titled “Meet Jack Lowery”) is what is heard when Jack is first introduced to the audience by Catrina. The jingle contains Jack’s Leitmotif (see above), and is meant to sound lonely, and make the listener a little bit nervous or sad.

## Trivia

* Jack relives Catrina’s death over and over in his nightmares.
* Jack has a tendency to be late.
* Jack is bad at driving.
