Body Appearance
Clothing
Habits: Somehow managed to pick up a few phrases from his Father that don't fit with his usual attitude. Eye contact is almost completely absent, wandering or focusing on a point of clothing on the person he is conversing with. Won't always respond to his own name. Obsessive compulsive impulses and ritualistic behavior are consistently apparent.
Other Information
Personality: Jack will appear to others as distant and uninterested, and with his large and overall muscular appearance this can make others view him like a distracted beast and leaves mot people wanting to avoid him. Jack won't actively seek out social interaction, but does crave it. Noticing the way people avoided his presence Jack decided to soften his overall appearance, with relative success. But with his choices for schools his social interaction is still limited. Avoids eye contact, will apply non-verbal replies when able.
There is also that nagging sense of abandonment that comes from having parents who care only for outward appearance and several friends who could not cope with his awkward personality. This can lead to rage that ends in violence or destruction of property, although there are other triggers as well. But during these moments he feels oddly happy and will welcome violence and confrontation as readily as peaceful interaction.
Hobbies: Can be found in the evenings using weights, and found in a well occupied area listening to others, which can lead him to some interesting information if he can understand the context of a conversation.
Extracurricular: Was previously on a football team, playing various positions. He has given up on this because the atmosphere was annoying him. The coach playing favorites on offensive players who had 'rare talent' were always singled out and this chaffed Jack to the point that he simply stopped going to practice and games.
Important Details
History: Jack had the misfortune to be born into an inattentive family. For the first six years of his life he was affectionately bonded to a maid that was hired to take care of him and his sister, older than him by a year. His sister always preferred their parents, Jack couldn't understand why. He found out when he was ten and the maid was fired after being accused of molesting his sister. Of course he didn't know what that meant and threw a violent tantrum, demanding that the maid would stay and be his mother.
After a few hundred dollars in replaced windows, mirrors, and a antique chair, Jack was locked in his room and the Maid wasn't seen again. His sister flourished for a year, enjoying the worry free life style she gained with the maid gone and their parents paying attention to her. Jack became reclusive and avoided spending time with his family as much as possible, and his violent tantrums were becoming sudden violent episodes in school. His parents, who spent all their time with their daughter, threw money at the problem and kept Jack in school.
They grew tired of both throwing money at the school and paying attention to their daughter, they returned to delving themselves completely into their work. Jack continued to cause problems in school and his sister seemed to have decided the same would work for her, although she leaned more toward cheating on tests and stealing from the local supermarket.
This drew back his parents again, to his sister. Jack claimed the guest room, on the opposing side of the home from the rest of his family and effectively sealed himself off from them. Having no time or spare money to throw at this problem named Jack they decided to transfer him to a school more fitting to his violent and unapproachable personality, meaning they wanted a place that wouldn't cost them more money if he continued be violent.
Fighting Style: Street fighting is his primary style. Brutal hand strikes, also elbow and knee attacks, mixed together with take downs and submission holds. Having started his violent streak young he has spent a lot of time throwing his fists around like clubs. The older he got the more he realized that this wouldn't win fights, as several times lifting his bruised head from the asphalt taught him. Cutting up tidbits of information he'd read to do book reports for english and watching others fight, he came up with a fighting style appropriate to his size while not even understanding how fight "fair" with others.
Strengths: As a large fighter with good muscle mass Jack takes advantage of close and medium range strikes, as well as grapples that require brute force. His grip is not easily shaken and he can easily lift about two hundred pounds which leaves him the ability to both throw his weight around as well as others. Taking beatings a few times a week, having a naturally larger body, and feel happiest when in a fight has him with a high endurance.
Weaknesses: Long range attacks, both offensive and defensively, limit him. He does not kick well and those that do can keep him at a distance, where Jack is at a disadvantage. Jack pieced together his style by himself and doesn't have training to fall back on, leading him to hasty decisions. Obviously those that are of a lighter or smaller build of his own will have the advantage of speed, and doesn't have a lot of experience fighting people of his own.

Body Appearance
- Head- Brown hair, unkempt, medium length, seems to be a bit thicker and more brittle than most and girls generally tease him by recommending conditioner. His eyebrows seem to fit his brow fairly well, the color darker than the rest of his hair. "Brandy" brown eyes that seem to give off an uninterested and distant air. Well rounded nose, cheekbones aren't prominent enough to draw attention away from his eyes. His face is heavier than it once was and it gives him a softer look appearance.
- Torso- Toned sinew once ran along the length of his torso, but he grew lazy with his workouts and his appearance has softened. The muscle is still there, but is hidden under a thin layer of fat that keeps him from looking toned. Holds only a few scars. A long scar running from his shoulders down to his waist, while helping install a pane of glass his careless father dropped it from the third story and the glass cut along Jack's back in an instant and then shattered. He was told he was lucky it wasn't worse.
- Arms- Lengthy arms, but by no comparison frail, holding a build up of sinew over his already strong bones, displaying the size of his muscles well. The touch of softness that reached his torso and stomach has reached his arms to a lesser extent. Tone cannot be seen easily but the above average size of his muscles is apparent.
- Hands- Has hand and finger size which allows him a grip most people could only dream of, although palming a basketball causes problems it is enough completely circle wrists and arms of the average joe. Tendons are drawn tightly over his knuckles, showing the bone structure underneath. This gives him the ability to strike with bone instead of the meat of the fingers, and the inside of his hand is rough, the hands of a worker. No scars to be seen but there is a patch of thickened skin on the back of his right hand where a particularly sadistic student poured alcohol over his hand while he was asleep and then lit his hand on fire.
- Legs and Feet- Legs, being longer then torso itself in almost all cases, make up a good amount of his height. Therefor its only right he need to keep them in good shape. Muscles rise from his bones, surprisingly tight and lean where most his size attempt to seem even larger. His feet, like his hands, have hardened on the soles, making them able to hit harder onto the ground and objects with less worry of harming sensitive flesh and nerves.
Clothing
- Upper Body- A variety of shirts, collared, long sleeved, tees, and Jackets for colder days. His clothing just shows up in his closet, thanks to his Mother who gave up letting her son pick out horrible outfits, so he dresses more for the weather than for style.
- Legs and Feet- This is something that doesn't vary often. Various kinds of pants and jeans, color varying and set up in his closet next to the proper shirt and color, he usually keeps has his attire match. The clothing fits properly and stays out of his way when he moves. He has two pairs of shoes he wears consistently, hard soled work shoes, and flat converse shoes with the classic white and black.

Eye contact is almost completely absent, wandering or focusing on a point of clothing on the person he is conversing with. Won't always respond to his own name.
