Personalities:
JACK is terribly amused at everything you do, you hilarious little mongoloids
Clever mind, clever hands (quick witted/intelligent/focused)
- Jack prides himself of learning things at a quick pace, soaking up even tedious bits of information just in case they happen to be useful. Prior to Deus he had been a Bioengineering major, and he carries that knowledge over to the Life Division with pride. He is used to long nights of pouring over books and being resourceful to reach deadlines, which might prove useful here as well. While sometimes the initiative is hard to find, Jack is a hard worker who knows he's capable of great things--it's just half the time he doesn't believe it's worth showing off.
Smug snake in the grass (level-headed/opportunistic/self-centered)
- It's hard to read Jack because he tends to smile 99% of the time regardless of emotion, making him strangely aloof; it's a defense mechanism he developed as a young child (as people get bored trying to hit you if you don't cry) and has influenced his mentality ever since. Everything is one big game or joke to him, and it's almost impossible to make him believe otherwise.
Understanding that life is only a series of moves anyway, Jack often takes the patient route, keeping calm and watching for opportunities to strike or shape something that could benefit him; at times he can become engrossed in this impulse or his work when the "game is afoot" so to speak. His humor is at best dry and at worst scathing because he is, in a way, self-defeating, whatever his confidence on the outside is. He grew up in a home where nothing he did was "enough", and as such has come to terms with his own loserness--often this means insults slide off his back like water off a duck's feathers.
Player/Semi Manwhore (detached/somewhat sexist/sociable)
- While he can socialize happily with any company with the aura of confidence and mannerisms usually reserved for a noble, he takes special attention to women--they are, after all, his favorite playthings. Sometimes he's happy to indulge them if they're "less experienced", sometimes he genuine just feels like amusing himself with a conversation, and sometimes he just wants to laugh at how inadequate they are in comparison and ignore them entirely. He approaches women like animals and treats them as such: give them a little affection, then stick a leash on them when they get annoying and ignore how they whine when you put them back in their cage at the end of the day.
Guys, though? No homo.
Musician (creative/means of expression)
- His mother impressed upon him to pick up an instrument when he hit middle school in order to "round his character". As such, Jack knows how to play the guitar and violin (one for his short lived band The Ketones, the other for an orchestra that met at a local college). Music is one of the rare things he can use to bond with other people and not feel an overwhelming need to ruin it somehow. (Well, unless you have a shitty taste in music of course)
(( more to come through rp ))
OWAIN is really drowsy right now but happy to be here
Jolly Green Giant
- At his core this giant is a happy, optimistic to a fault fellow who wants nothing more than to indulge in his creative tendencies and share with his colleagues what he (read: his hunter) has made. He shares Jack's ability to take in information at quick rate, though his interests were mostly rooted in the natural world (botany, horticulture, entomology, etc.), some weaponwork, and a dabble in alchemy (from lingering knowledge of what he and Ashton had worked with, though he does not know the source as a weapon).
Living anachronism
- Imagine having come to Halloween just a little before the 1600s. Then imagine getting pulled up by some strange looking humans in 1990 and weaponized, losing all those memories of your new life. And finally, imagine waking up and learning people can contact anyone almost anywhere with a few pushes on this little device. Owain is terribly untrained in the new technology available today and thus will refer to things with archaic terms (ie. cellphones being scrying tools); he's utterly fascinated and obsessed with learning the ins and outs of every little thing's every little function, to Jack's annoyance.
Clobberin' time
- Owain is a slow to anger/forgiving sort of fellow, as he prefers to avoid conflict whenever possible (unless they're testing out something that requires combat). He does not, however, idly stand by if there's trouble and will swiftly call for vengeance upon their enemies. In essence he is the "give a second chance, otherwise crush them" sort of person, and it's never a good idea to leave loose ends. Plus no matter how peaceable he is, he can't deny how satisfying it is to squish things.
Ghost memories
- Owain sometimes feels a sense of deja vu whenever his hunter is in the middle of something in the lab. It heightens his curiosity and drives him (and consequentially his hunter since he won't shut up about it) to do more, make more, be more. Jack is his only means to alleviate this innate need to create, and as such it's not rare to see the hunter hard at work on some new project.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
- Jack grew up in a white collar, well-off family that restricted him in a cage of gold. When he first began to see shadows, his parents believed that he was still in the infantile stage of making up imaginary friends and ignored his pleas, and it was at the tender age of ten that he decided he was special for a reason. And nobody else could be relied upon with this duty to watch for the creeping darkness.
Rebelling against his parents often, Jack created a small site advertised as a place where people could share their own supernatural encounters, trying to find others who saw the shadows like him, slowly creating a network of contacts. Between moderating that, clubs, basketball, his then girlfriend "Lina", and high school in general, he was a very busy young man with a bright future ahead of him. It was only when his parents decided to divorce shortly after he entered college that things went down hill.
It began first with her father moving out of the city to completely remove himself from the family. Then came his girlfriend's complete and abrupt death. The stress, confusion, and anger Jack felt began to poison his life.
Within the first semester he had lost his scholarship, and within the second his GPA dropped below a 2.0 after years of almost impeccable grades. Disgraced by his mother, whom he had been living with, Jack was kicked out and forced to both withdraw from school and to crash at a friend's until he decided what to do with his life. He was pretty much out of options by the time recruiter came to him, and there was no way he'd decline the offer anyway: it validated his innate need to be special anyway. Plus he totally knew there was a factual basis in his conspiracy theory that there was a group of people like himself.
Weapon Ability: Earthbreaker (Battle Cry)
- As a former giant, Owain was in possession of a tremendous amount of strength. He lends this energy to Jack, allowing him to swing his weapon with greater force and speed (usually after a leap because he does so much like that literally cracking the earth result). The weapon glows with a green aura prior to initiating the attack.
