GM's Characters


Username: [Nebka]
Name: Jack Grimm
Zodiac: Gemini
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Position(s)/Job: Student

Zodiac Gift: Weapon: A single Steel Claw.

Weapon's Ability:Can Duplicate the owner up to 12 times. All copies are originals and they all must be defeated or else the user can simply preform more copies. The damages the copies take on is distributed evenly when ever they recombine or seperate.

Appearance: Crystal clear blue eyes and a smirk that could kill is usually what others notice first about Jack, if only because the rest of him seems boringly normal. Never to tall or to short he feels like he’s always been around 5’5” for as long as he could remember. He’s slender with a lean build and a slight belly that’s usually hidden beneath the T-shirt he wears. Other than the eyes and the smirk he’s face holds a narrow nose and a strong jaw line as well.

Personality: Fun-loving and friendly Jack is very good at making friends, mostly because he’s never had that many. He’s very versatile and can take any sudden change with ease, usually going with the first reaction that comes to mind. There are times however where things can get a bit bothersome around Jack, mostly when he’s sitting on his hands. He can get quite restless and will do just about anything to keep himself busy. Anything from bothering others to pacing around in circles Jack hates not being able to keep himself occupied. He becomes very clingy if he becomes too attached to some one since he’s spent most of his life alone, and he also has cruel streak that’s only begun to emerge during the street fights.

Skills: Probationary black belt in Taekwondo, Acrobatics, and making friends.

History: When he’s parents split apart shortly after he was born Jack’s father won the custody battle over him, so he’s lived with his father most of his life. Being a world wide business tycoon’s son Jack’s gotten use to having little attention from people, but it can make him very clingy if he meets someone he likes. With his father always searching for some ancient artifact Jack’s had a lot of time to himself that he usually spends on the streets. It was during one of those walks that he was brought into a special gang by one of the people he’d met on one of his fathers more private business affairs. The group itself didn’t do that much with the other gangs of New York, but they just mostly shot themselves up with drugs and got into fist-fights with each other. It reminded him of the movie “Fight Club” but with out all the drama and a lot more reckless. It wasn’t all that interesting to him but it did give him a chance to use the six years of self defense training his father made him take. His cruelty and brutality in the fights quickly earned him the nick name “The Ripper” since he’d usually gouge the eyes or break some limbs whenever he got the chance.
