STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths
Efficient – Jack sees inefficiency not just as a problem in its own right, but as something that pulls time and energy away from all of his future goals, an elaborate sabotage consisting of irrationality and laziness. Jack will root out such behavior whenever it appears.
Energetic – Rather than finding this process taxing Jack is energized by it, genuinely enjoying leading his teams forward as they implement their plans and goals.
Self-Confident – Jack couldn’t do this if he was plagued by self-doubt – he trust his abilities, make known his opinions (even when not wanted), and believes in his capacities as a leader.
Strong-Willed – Nor does Jack give up when the going gets tough – Jack strives to achieve his goals, but really nothing is quite as satisfying to him as rising to the challenge of each obstacle in his run to the finish line.
Strategic Thinker – Jack exemplifies the difference between moment-to-moment crisis management and navigating the challenges and steps of a bigger plan, and is known for examining every angle of a problem and not just resolving momentary issues, but moving the whole project forward with his solutions.
Charismatic and Inspiring – These qualities combine to create a man who is able to inspire and invigorate others, who people actually want to be their leader, and this in turn helps Jack to accomplish his often ambitious goals that could never be finished alone.
Loyal – Jack is loyal to his family to such an extent that he would willingly lay down his life for them without hesitation.
Weaknesses
Stubborn and Dominant – Sometimes all this confidence and willpower can go too far, and Jack is all too capable of digging in his heels, trying to win every single debate and pushing his vision, and his alone.
Intolerant – “It’s my way or the highway” – Jack is notoriously unsupportive of any idea that distracts from his primary goals, and even more so of ideas based on emotional considerations. Jack won’t hesitate a second to make that fact clear to those around him.
Impatient – Some people need more time to think than others, an intolerable delay to quick-thinking Jack. He may misinterpret contemplation as stupidity or disinterest in their haste, a terrible mistake for a Jack to make.
Arrogant – Jack respects quick thoughts and firm convictions, his own qualities, and look down on those who don’t match up. This relationship is a challenge for most other people who are perhaps not timid in their own right, but will seem so beside an overbearing Jack.
Poor Handling of Emotions – All this bluster, alongside the assumed supremacy of rationalism, makes Jack distant from their own emotional expression and sometimes downright scornful of others’. Jack often tramples others’ feelings, inadvertently hurting his partners and friends, especially in emotionally charged situations.
Cold and Ruthless – His obsession with efficiency and unwavering belief in the merits of rationalism, especially professionally, makes Jack incredibly insensitive in pursuing his goals, dismissing personal circumstances, sensitivities, and preferences as irrational and irrelevant.
PERSONALITY:
Armed with a powerful intellect and strategic thinking, Jack can overcome or outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. At the same time, his many quirks, such as often unconstrained rationalism, lead to many misunderstandings.
Jack recognizes that if ever there was an area where he could learn from others and improve himself, it is in the realm of emotional sensitivity – to dismiss any aspect of personal growth borders on hypocrisy. Friendships with people whom have a strong emotional intellect would benefit Jack greatly. These sorts of friendships can bridge the chasm between his uninhibited logic and the recognition that cooperation and conciliation can often accomplish more than that logic ever could alone.
Still, the bulk of Jack’s friends share personalities similar to his own, though he often seeks out less dominant people. Whether known or unknown to himself, Jack has an urge to be the Alpha in a room, even if not in the typical Alpha sense and this is no more displayed than in the company he keeps. Anyone who can match Jack’s ability to brainstorm and theorize will find an honest and dedicated friend. Anyone who can’t or won’t, such as the ‘let the dice fall as they will’ will find themselves ignored – perhaps a situation that is best for everyone given Jack’s temperament.
His authentic confidence makes Jack’s sex life dynamic to say the least, and he often pushes to explore new ways to express his affection with imaginative enthusiasm. Yet Jack tends to have these innovations planned in advance, with some structure and predictability to his sex life, leaving the true spontaneity to his partner.
Jack is extremely growth-oriented, and will seize any opportunity to improve himself, listening to and acting on criticisms, so long as they are logical ones, and always striving to improve his knowledge. At the same time, Jack expects this of his partner, and it is surprising to him that others don’t always share this attitude.
When is comes to style Jack simply has one. Business professional. As a Dukes son, Jack is never seen out of a three piece suit, most often black with a white undershirt. Though he does have other colors for suits, Jack views himself more favorably in darker colors. Even when around the home, Jack is in dress slacks with polished shoes, and at the very least an ironed polo shirt. For bed, the man either sleeps completely nude or in a pair of boxer briefs. He does not hold any form of traditional ‘lounge wear’. Jack always had a watch on his right wrist, a communicator in his left breast pocket, and a wallet in the right. He does not carry anything in his pants pockets as he does not like unsightly bulges that would ruin an otherwise crip press to dress slacks.
APPEARANCE:
EYES: Jack’s eyes are a stunning almond brown. Often viewed as his best feature people are often distracted by them. While many people’s emotions are easily read upon current shape of their lips or forehead, Jack’s is easily seen in his eyes. Piercing and sharp, they almost seem to darken when narrowed to dictate his irritation, anger, or distrust. On the contrary they can be large, warm, and inviting around those that he admires. He is unable to control this aspect of himself physically; much to his own irritation.
HAIR: Jack’s hair is a shoulder length timber brown. There is a natural sheen to his hair that reflects light elegantly. Jack typically where’s his hair in only one of two styles. Neatly combed down to his shoulders or tied back. He does not try to fashion it in any other way.
HEIGHT: Jack is six feet three inches in height. He is easily the tallest member of his family with no male passing 6’1 and no woman passing 5’9.
BUILD: The man is built like a tank. Broad shoulder, well chiseled, and with a fitness that has aided in his ability to find a multitude of different sexual partners, Jack is the epitome of what every man had wanted to be but never was. In his life he found no solace in drinking liquor, nor eating junk food. His habits were a strict military lifestyle, thanks to his parents, of three square meals and exercise.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Given his strict upbringing and never ending training, Jack surprisingly has very few, if any, blemishes on his body.

BIOGRAPHY:
Jack was born in secret on the planet of Rishi, in an outpost far outside the control of either Sith or Jedi space. His mother, Jedi Knight Evanthea Hinata and father Sith Apprentice Jake Daniels, had a one time moment of passion which resulted in his conception. Knowing that they did not want either the Jedi or Sith to use their child for their own gains, nor to put him in any danger, Evanthea and Jake came to an agreement about little Jack.
They would share custody of their son in the utmost secrecy. They would not tell their friends nor even closest of family for Jacks safety. Both shared custody of Jack, switching up who watched over the child as he was moved planet to planet over the course of his early years though Jake and Thea had very little contact with one another directly. Often their messages to the other were passed through Jack or sent via heavy encryption.
From Rishi, to Taris, from Onderson to Ossus, his parents carefully planned out where and when the young boy would be moved. As he aged it was apparent that he had a well-developed force sensitivity. This brought Jake and Thea together for the first time since his birth to discuss his training. They came to an agreement that Jack would be trained as neutral as possible. Though both parents were skilled in the force and lightsaber combat; it was soon evident that Thea trained Jack primarily with the force while Jake focused on lightsaber combat. It was here that Jack began to develop a true sense of being a grey within the force. The balance of light and dark almost at perfect equilibrium.
