Jack is a quiet individual who could normally be found with his nose in a book or carefully composing an essay, short story or poem. He is a bookish individual with far more concern about the strength of his characters, the flow of his plots, and the inscrutability of his arguments than the state of his clothes or whether he remembered to shave in a particular day.
Jack has a great fondness for fairy tales, mythology, theology, and children's literature. Having grown up in an atheist household, he found himself unable to successfully defend his previous materialist in the face of objections from texts such as "The Matter Myth" and his own inability to live without belief in a moral absolute, convincing him of God's existence. He later decided to be a non-denominational Christian and stir away from hot-button issues. Jack's love for literature is insatiable. He believes writing and the natural world reveal the true beauty in the universe. He is generally good-humored and patient, but he can make biting retorts when pressed.
Jack grew up in a small middle class family in Belfast, Northern Ireland. From an early age, he found himself interested in literature and fairy tales, often begging his parents to read to him before he himself learned to read. He found that he had a love for anthropomorphic animals and would occasionally make up stories about them. As he went to school, it was discovered the he also had a gift for languages, an area of knowledge he was encouraged to pursue. As he grew older, however, he became curious about the world and discovered that consciousness affected quantum reality and that matter did not consist of simple building blocks. He then thought to himself about what standard he measured the world and himself by and soon enough, found himself a Christian.
Jack did not have too much trouble with his family, beyond a sort of indifferent dismissal, and continued to write short stories and read dozens of books with renewed vigor. Ironically, he found himself in love with the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis and wondered whether he could create his own fantasy world like the other two. When he found he had been given a full scholarship at a university, he was delighted at the chance to pursue his degree in English.
