ABILITIES/POWERS: Jack is terrifyingly intelligent, to the point that it can at times seem like either madness or preternatural ability. He has a charisma that is almost as legendary as his name, an ability to weave words that make people believe in him even if, perhaps, they should not. He is known for committing feats most men would never dream of. His balance and sense of control with a blade belies the possibility of that nigh-consistent drunkenness he works to perpetuate, and his ability to get himself out of tricky situations is practically mythical in nature.
RESTRICTIONS: Jack’s greatest restriction is his sense of moral righteousness. When it comes to treasure he may be greedy, but when it comes to people he is – generally speaking – fairly consistent in his selflessness. He is manipulative to a fault however, and terrible at communicating his full intentions, thus making himself out to be a man unworthy of trust.
It was once said that one can always count on Jack to be the best of allies if his own skin is in danger – and while this is true, it is not the whole truth of him by half. He has a terrible habit of giving more than he gets, and of overlooking abuses of his good nature by excusing it as people doing right by themselves. He tells himself to be bitter and not to trust, but he never succeeds. In the end, he always chooses others before himself, and it has consistently proved to be his greatest vice and source of damnation.
