AGE: 20
GENDER: Male

POSITION: Unemployed

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Emotional Duplication

Jack is able to create an avatar for all of his repressed emotions and split it off into its own body. The double "Jack Two" is alike Jack in every way, with the same memories and the same viewpoints but he's essentially the embodiment of all of Jack’s denied emotions and as such the copy “Jack Two” is shown to be much more emotional and sincere. When letting their emotional side out, the original person doesn't change.

For the most part he can contain this part, however, when put into a situation when he feels emotionally vulnerable, he may come busting out of Jack’s chest whether he is wanted or not. The process of “Jack Two” getting out is when Jack feels strong emotions, he receives painful stomach aches that builds and builds until Jack has no choice to

LIMITATIONS:

-Jack’s copy only comes out in times of severe stress, leaving Jack in an acutely emotional state
-Jack has no control of the copy once it is out and it is the copy's choice whether it goes back in or not.
-The energy of both Jack seem to be become more and more drained the more that Jack's power is "Active" and both Jacks become tired and sluggish. 
-Jack two, can only exist when he's in close distance to Jack, generally  they would need to be in the same building at any and all times 

SIDE-EFFECTS:

-Severe discomfort when “Jack Two” manifests.
-Headaches
-migraines

PERSONALITY: There're been many words to describe Jack McCarthy but if there was one word that could sum him up perfectly is Misfit. He’s the glitch in the system. He’s almost a brand new subspecies of mankind. Too strange to live among people and yet too rare to die. It’s not hard to see how he tends to rub people the wrong way. It’s like he lives on his own little magical “Planet Jack” and only comes down to reality when he forced to, as this manifests itself in being highly inconsiderate and rude to people. Admittedly his apathetic nature tends to apply more to complete strangers than it does for his close friends but he can be a straight up ass when it comes to most conversations He tends to use crude and raunchy language to make his points, start/end conversations, and overall, make others feel uncomfortable. You wouldn’t see Jack noticing that however, since, evidently, he is mentally disturbed when it comes to socialising with others and rarely is aware when he says something wrong or crosses some kind of boundary Jack’sis an impulsive guy, and that means what he says is much the same. He doesn't censor himself and rarely holds back what he is thinking..

Jack tends to have a lack of mind when it comes to certain things. Relevance seems to be one of his bigger problems since he tends to totally miss certain important details of everyday life (such as people’s names). This is a perfect example of his tendency to see the world as revolving around him. He can appear selfish for his lack of concern or attentiveness to the point of conversations. He really just has a bad memory half the time. Jack is also prone to quite frankly bizarre behaviour. He seems to follow his own internal FLAWED logic that’s so arbitrary and circular that no one can possibly figure it out but him.

He enjoys riling people up and seeing their reactions. It amuses him and due to the fact he doesn’t see that his words can hurt others, he usually takes things too far and has to get physically punched in order to shut him up. He picks fun at most everyone, yet most of the time, he isn’t being serious- but good luck telling which from which, since he tends to use a lot of sarcasm, so it can be hard to tell. The only consistency in Jack is his inconsistency. One moment he’s a happy go lucky cheerful friend who walks around with permanent ease safe in the knowledge that everything will work out in the end…..and the next he’s a ranting raving lunatic in the grips of a massive panic because he ran out of cereal. It’s impossible to tell or predict what Jack you’re going to get. He’s a man of many masks that he insists on wearing because deep down he’s a deeply vulnerable and insecure person, but he chooses to keep a front up so as to not appear weak. He uses words as a means to express himself and keep himself from being hurt since, he doesn’t see himself as someone “Good” His childhood was rough, due to his father’s lack of interest, and his mother walking out (resulting in quite acute abandonment issues) and so, he has learned to adapt to life so that he doesn’t have to feel hurt by anyone again. He doesn’t like to talk about his past, let alone, touchy subjects, and if he does, he usually covers up his discomfort with trademark nonsensical bravado. He is terribly blunt and that along with saying whatever he feels like gets him on people's bad sides. He tends to use a lot of references too, making him very unoriginal when it comes to life advice. (which probably wouldn't be the best thing to follow)

He’s a wild-card that tends to act like out whenever he can. He annoys most, yet there is a part of him that some will learn to love. It may be the fact he is so damn ridiculous sometimes and doesn’t care who sees it that people become his friend (or at least, hang out with him for more than a few minutes) One of his best qualities though, would have to be his loyalty and dedication to those he cares about most likely due to some kind of lifelong fear of people leaving him

SECRET(S):

-His deep seeded insecurities and the touch he bears for a certain brunette

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

Jack was born into troubling circumstances. His father was your Typical “Jack the lad” figure with a weakness for women and silver tongue in his mouth. This weakness would come back to haunt him when one sunny afternoon young women he had met in a local bar shown up on the doorstep of his shitty apartment -pregnant.

Now, this being Ireland in the early 90’s they didn’t have a lot of choices other than to wed and only a few months later Jack was born.

Unsurprisingly the two had a rocky relationship from the beginning, due to their forced relationship, not to mention Darren’s continuing adultery. he moment Jack was born her mother packed her bags and left her child.

Growing up in two-roomed dirty apartment with a drunken dad was always going to hard especially when the kid in question was as shy as Jack. For years in the school yard, he was teased relentlessly. Combined with his resentment of his often absent father, Jack began to act out. He began to develop a cocky attitude and began to insult in order to prevent his own words from being thrown back in this face. Wit became Jack’s go-to response to everything. Smoking, partying, and drinking became Jack’s lifestyle of choice.

Unfortunately, this new attitude only fractured the relationship with his father further. Pretty soon afterwards at the age of 13 his power manifested itself after a particularly nasty argument with his dad he went to bed that night complaining of stomach pains…when he work up the next day, a clone of himself was standing over him. Jack. Freaked. Out. Constantly ignoring “Jack’s two” attempt to explain things, in a panicked frenzy, he attacked “Jack Two” with a broom forcing him out of the house. However “Jack Two” Wasn’t to be denied as he followed Jack everywhere he went until Jack eventually had to accept his crazy story…..Especially when the recruiter turned up at the door...One thing lead to another and he found himself in St. Bethany's before being tranfered to Bellefonte, citing "Discipline issues and for the last few years has proven to be the school's resistant weirdo, until eventually he left and became a general annoyance to the rest of the town
