Description

Image


Name: Allard Dimitri Cloutier
Nickname: Jack. "The Wraith."
Position: Carpenter/Gunsmith/General Fix-It
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Complicated

Race: Human.
Age: 36 . Physically looks to be in his late 60s.
Height: 6'6"
Description: Jack is a towering but frail, sickly fellow. Years of suffering one illness after another has left him aged far beyond his years. Between his rinkled charcoal skin, sunken eyes and long unkempt greying black hair and beard it certainly could be forgiven for believing Jack was far older then his age would suggest. The most pronounced part of the man's visage is his large expressive eyes, who's irises shine such a reflective shade of silver - a side effect from a childhood disease - that they appear like mirrors to those who observe them and obscure his pupils from view depending on the light. This coupled with his sage appearance has made many a sailor believe Jack to be a wraith. A fleshbound ghost bound to this world. Jack finds these stories hilarious, and will do nothing to correct them. If it means people will bother him less then a wraith he shall be.

Jack's attire is made up of various blues, greens and whites. His preferred colors, he cares not a single damn what people think about his fashion sense. Four ornate rings of bone dawn his hands. Gifts from an elven slave he once slept with. They add to his assumed undead appearance.

Nationality: Tarn
Creed: "Live life how you want to without care of what others think."
Motivation: To do as he pleases.
Likes:
-People Who Aren't Godsdamned Idiots: Don't be a idiot.
-Stuff & Things: Stuff. And things. Quit being so fucking nosey.
Dislikes:
-Godsdamned Idiots: They're fucking idiots.
-Stuff & Things: Oh you'll know when he doesn't like something.
Strengths:
-Savant: Jack is brilliant. Brilliant. The man consumes information like a blackhole. Once he learns something he never forgets, and can recall even the most obscure facts with frightening ease.
-Tinkering Master: Carpentry. Smithing. Magic Etching. If it involves making or fixing something then Jack can likely do it.
Clever: Inginuety is abound in Jack.
That makes him far more dangerous then he appears. Please do underestimate him, Jack does so enjoy drowning others in their ignorance.
Weaknesses:
-Dead Man Walking: Jack has always been a man plagued with bad health but lung cancer was just the icing on top of the shitty ass cake. Jack is going die one day, and one day soon.
-Noncombatant: Have you seen the man? You can fuck right off if you think he's going to get into a fight.
Temper: To say Jack gets pissed off easily would be a understatement.
Personality: Jack's personality is... complicated. The man is brilliant but dying, which has left him just a wee bit bitter. Angry some (most) might say. A life time of suffering has soared his opinion on the world. Unafraid to speak his mind and quick to annoy, Jack is rather known for his loud, curse ridden, often rather elaborate insults. The man can and will openly insult his superiors and enjoy doing it. Those who think they will be treated any differently because some piece of paper or fancy hat says they're above him are in for a rude awakening. Jack has no quelms about lying and will do so when needed or, more likely, because he thinks it's amusing. And because of the way his mind works he never forgets a lie once stated so it is practically impossible to tell when the man is lying.

Despite all this, Jack is a fairly amicable man. He never forgets but is quick to....forgive is not the right word. Shrug off would be the more appropriate term to use. He doesn't care what secrets you hold, you are who you are. He treats you how you deserve to be treated. Jack generally treats women with more respect, and his threshold for annoyance tends to be higher for the fairer sex. This is perhaps do to the fact that the women in his life were the only ones who treated him with any decency when he was younger. Many of these fine maidens - his sisters especially - are still near and dear to his heart and he often writes them when he can. This better treatment of the opposite sex only goes so far however, break that threshold and he will treat a woman no different then he treats anyone else who pissses him off.

Equipment:
Whatever he has at hand.

History:
Jack was born into a wealthy merchant family in a city deep within the riverways that made up the Tarnish heartland. Jack was the only male among his siblings, for which he had five sisters whom he loves dearly. In a life without want, fate deemed fit to play the cruelest of pranks on Jack. Even from childhood he suffered illness after illness, some minor and some torturous. As if the gods were delighted to simply throw misery after misery his way.

Jack was blessed with one thing and that was the gift of insurmountable intellect and the ability to learn, and through his studies did Jack find some small measure of solace. Able to attend some of the best schools in the country and treated with some of the best tutors in the world, Jack's mind grew exponentially. Garnering a particular flair for the mechanical, he would learn such things as carpentry, engineering and magic etching with remarkable ease.

Despite this Jack knew little joy in life. Constant attacks from this illness or that, endless doctor visits, never being able to really do what he wanted turned Jack very bitter as the years went on. The only real comforts he had were in the support of his sisters, maids and, yes, slaves. It would be fair to say that Jack holds a rose tinted view of the women in his wife. Perhaps because his relationship with his father was disfunctional at the best of times.

The man that helped conceive him despised Jack. Saw him as a disgrace to the family and burden to suffer only because he was blood. Going as far as to tell Jack - several times - that the only reason he wasn't thrown to hounds was because it would be embarrassing to the family name. Needless to say, things between Jack and his father were...strained.

Things came to a head on Jack's twenty sixth year, when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. When he was given his death sentence. Jack's father decided enough was enough and told Jack he was no longer welcome. His sisters protested, and when his eldest sister Julia grabbed their father's arm to beg him to reconsider the man struck her across the face and sent her reeling to the floor. Enraged, Jack attacked his father and though he got in a few good blows was quickly overpowered by the much stronger man and was thrown to the ground. His father would have beat Jack to death if not for his all of his sisters stepping in to restrain their father.

A few days later Jack decided to leave, for his sisters sake if not his own. Never again would he allow others, not even fate, stop him.
