## Personality

Jack was usually quite quiet. He was very sharp and often rude to the people around him. He was known to swear often, though he mostly used swear words as a hesitation sound rather than as actual swear words. He remained mostly guarded and closed off, sometimes opening up briefly. His standoffish and bristly nature were an attempt at protecting himself due to his negative experiences and tumultuous relationship with his father.

Despite his prickly appearance, he cared very much for the wellbeing of the group, often expressing a desire to help or save everyone and frustration when he couldn't follow through.

After his death at the hands of Azora in Chapter 5 released information in Chapter 6, it was revealed that Jack was actually an AI, which explained much of the unusual or inconsistent parts of his behaviour. Due to the limits of his programming, he cared very deeply about helping the group, could not bring himself to pursue a romantic relationship with Kumo or Adrian, and often had his emotions overridden if it was unhelpful to the group or if somebody needed comforting.

The real version of Jack made a brief cameo in the Epilogue. This version of Jack was four years older than his AI counterpart and seemed a lot more peaceful and happy, having given up the smoking and free to live as he pleased in London working for the Future Foundation with his boyfriend Nick.

## Appearance

Jack was relatively pale with medium length scruffy brown hair with dyed blonde bangs. He had brown eyes. He wore round gold-rimmed glasses.

He was 5'10" with a narrow frame which he usually hid in his coat.

He was mentioned to have tattoos, none of which were visible except for small star tattoos on his knuckles, but they were mostly concealed by his many rings.

The real version of Jack had shorter and tidier natural coloured hair and was mentioned to have filled out, having grown into his height fully and no longer experiencing so much stress.

## Backstory

Jack was born in Dublin, Ireland, to parents Maedbh and Patrick. He had one older brother named Ruadhan who lived in Poland with his wife and daughter.

Jack knew he was gay for a very long time, but repressed that part of himself due to fears that his family would not accept him. He had a crush on a boy in his year named Theo, who was very well liked and sought after by girls and boys alike. Theo reciprocated Jack's feelings, and one day kissed him, which confirmed their mutual feelings. They started a relationship.

Jack came out to his older brother Ruadhan one day in fear, and was surprised when Ruadhan was totally supportive. He felt able to come out to his mother soon after, who was not shocked by the revelation, but very much supportive nonetheless. At that point, him and Theo were safely out when with Jack's mum and Ruadhan, and Theo became a part of the family.

Jack had a contentious relationship with his father Patrick, who was very traditional and conservative, and who Jack knew held very homophobic ideas. As far as Patrick was concerned, Theo was Jack's friend, nothing more.

Until one unfortunate day when Patrick neglected to knock on Jack's bedroom door and caught him kissing Theo. He flew into a rage and called Jack awful names, disowning him and condemning his sexuality on the spot. Theo left hurriedly and blocked Jack on everything, never to speak to him again.

Jack left to his mother's house, heartbroken and crushed. From then on, he stayed with her, and unfortunately due to the effect that his father's homophobia had on him, he began to repress all of his feelings. His father sent him constant abuse and continued to condemn him for his sexuality. He became especially quiet and never spoke about his feelings to anyone again, becoming the Jack at the start of the killing game we saw.

His mother Maedbh was a programmer working on the Neo World Program, which he knew was going to be used for testing of some kind. He found out that it was to possibly get a job in the Future Foundation, and as the Ultimate Violinist who hated his talent, went for it at the age of eighteen.

He passed, surviving a murder attempt and a trial where everybody almost accused him as the blackened. He grew close with a girl named Layla who had a crush on him, but obviously did not reciprocate (they remained friends), and had to see her die as a blackened when the test's pressure got to be too much. He had another friend in Nicholas, who survived to the end alongside him. The two liked each other, but both too shy to say anything.

After the conclusion of their initial test, they both got jobs in separate divisions of the Foundation and did not see each other for a while. During that time, Maedbh decided the Future Foundation test needed an AI helper, and who better to base it on than her son who had experienced it himself? So Jack helped her with the development of the AI version of himself, which they mostly referred to as "the AI" or just "Himself" in order to avoid confusion. Himself was to be the same as real Jack, but with an increase of his fear of blood, and some guideline programs to help him help the candidates.

Jack's father died a month after he turned nineteen, which spurred him to switch divisions since he was now feeling a lot freer and happier.

He did so and reunited with Nick, finally feeling able to be himself. They got together and worked on secret missions for the Foundation based mostly in London, which is where they have been ever since.

## Biography

[This section is for detailing the events of the game. It is up to you whether you would like to write a brief summary for every chapter or a long and detailed explanation of every event.]

## Relationships

### Father

Jack was aware that his father would not like that he was gay, and as such hid that aspect of himself from his father for a long time.

When Jack's father discovered his secret, he disowned Jack, causing Jack to move in with his mother. He continued to not speak to Jack except to keep expressing his homophobic ideals.

It was a hefty relief for Jack when he died - he didn't feel so strangled any more.

### Theo

Theo was Jack's boyfriend. He was mentioned to be part French. After Jack's father discovered he was gay, Theo left the house and Jack never saw him again after that.

### Kumoshi

Kumoshi expressed romantic interest in the AI Jack, which was a little overwhelming for him. Kumo reminded him a lot of Theo, which both helped and hurt their dynamic. Himself really liked Kumo, but his negative personal feelings with the programming didn't allow him to keep seeing romance as a viable option.

### Adrian

Jack and Adrian found common ground fairly early on smoking on the patio together. Jack was very envious of Adrian, seeing him as cool and carefree and having all the traits he wished he did himself.

### Haruko

Jack and Haruko did not get along. He did feel pity for Haruko after her trial, as her fear reminded him of Layla.

## Trivia

* Himself was 18 as Jack was when he passed the test - Real Jack was 22 at the time of Storm of Suspicion.
