[bg=e1e1e1][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,480,true] NAME: Jack Brahms Greylock NICKNAMES: Jack AGE: lost count (assumed to be maybe 3-500) GENDER: Male OCCUPATION: Minstrel SEXUALITY: Heterosexual RACE: Phantom ALLIANCE: Neutral CANON: The Jack of All Trades FACE CLAIM: [b]07-GHOST[/b], [i]HARUKEN OAK[/i] - Jack B. Greylock PERSONALITY: ,,PLAYFUL At first slight, it probably would seem like Jack would be the easiest person on the face of reality to get along with. Really, it is virtually impossible to get on his bad side. He's friendly, open and if ever you need a helping hand, well why not? Never in this world had anyone seen him without a smile on his face as not even life and death situation seem to be able to get him down. He always looks on the bright side of things. Sometimes, to the point of being kinda annoying but really, he just means well. He loves jokes, laughter and plainly just likes having a good time with those around him, regardless if he's known them all his life or just for the last ten seconds. He adores the occasional prank and jest but it's all done in good-heart so don't take it the wrong way. ,,WOMANIZER Yes, well all do tend to live for something, don't we? The concept of 'women' simply fascinates him for some reason and he's found a sort of second leveled taste of satisfication coming from them. He is quite the socialist, always looking out for an opportunity to step in on someone's conversation at the exact right moment. His charming features added on with his silver tongue, he's won many hearts over the last few centuries but he's in it for the games and he's sure that his lovely counterpart for the night knows that as well before things go any further. Jack is a player, never serious in anything except getting what he wants and between you and me, it's not flesh satisfication. Though he enjoys the warm nights and linens, true satisfication is found elsewhere. Does he get into trouble? But of course. However, at the same time, he has his ways of getting out of them. ,,VAIN As a performer, don't you think that appearance are just the utmost importance? Sure, you may have the voice. Sure, you might play your lute better than most. However, it's all about showmanship! If ever there was a solid form of heaven, Jack would be it. It actually is pretty true, considering his angelic face and flawless features. However, the thing is, he knows that as well and he isn't afraid to boost aloud. Rather... it's kinda his hobby. Oh well, everyone has a flaw somewhere, right? Even if his flaw comes from having no flaw... ,,COURT-BRED Even as a vagabond of some sort, Jack has the manners that could rival any prince or princess of the courts. Jack can be very charming when he wants to, fitting in at any ball or event. Where he gets the clothes to attend these functions is a tiny, little detail that he insists that you overlook because really, it's just too insignificant, trust him! Living up to his name, he can dance, sing and fence according to the requirements of the court. Well, when one lives that long, you have all the time in the world to learn these things and an even longer time to seek out the resources to teach you. ,,CALCULATIVE And that is his true nature. Jack is nothing but calculative. He does nothing out of pure kindness. After living a few hundred years and seeing so many things, not even the most touching and heart-wrenching situations can move him. Before, he said why wouldn't he help you out in your time of need. Well, that's right, that still stands. However, he'll only help... at the right price. All those moments you've spent smiling and laughing with him, those were merely stepping stones to him. To have a network, you need contacts, do you not? The same goes with sleeping with the young ladies and sneaking his way into the banquets of the royals. Really, there isn't a better location to scour for his precious treasures than in the arms of a lovely. Women gossip very much, you know? ,,GREEDY This is the true face of the Jack of All Trades, the eternal scavenger of knowledge. He would use any way, no matter how inhumane, cruel or sly he has to be, in order to learn more and much more. He travels from place to place with the occupation that brings people to him, a minstrel. He's the perfect socialite, being able to wriggle into any circle to gather various kinds of knowledge. However, at the same time, he would help you in any way that he can if you can promise him something that he wants. He is, after all, a jack of all trades. He can do virtually anything for you at the right price. Call him... a wildcard, if you must. However, never forget though he is as convenient as they come, he's always on the prowl to gain more. But don't worry, he sees every piece of information as valuable as the next. Therefore, once he's commissioned to a job, he'll stick to it till the end for information that he doesn't possess. He needs to know and learn everything about and in the world. It was greed that plagued him, it was greed that doomed him, and it is still greed that defines him. LIKES: There isn't anything else that could possibly interest Jack other than information. He loves learning new things and virtually anything is able to fascinate him. There's just so much to learn and so little time to learn it. Of course, that was easily corrected but at a price as well, it seems. He is an information monger and it's his hobby to acquire them. Other than that, maybe... music could mildly fit in this category but it really doesn't compare with the above. Jack writes songs about history and the like in order to keep track of some of the knowledge he's acquired through the years. Songs have a way of improving one's memory, if you didn't know. DISLIKES: Jack dislikes being cheated, period. This whole concept of cheating really ticks him off. I know I said that nothing would move him except for gaining more information however revenge is a very good reason to move as well. He will not tolerate someone going back on his word to give him information. Or if the promised information was something he already knew, well, that pretty much falls in the same category as well. So how does Jack know that he's working for information that he doesn't already have? Simple, he doesn't. That's your job. That's why if you're going to engage the Jack of All Trades to do your dirty work, you better make sure that your information is one of a kind because if isn't at the end of the day, you better come up with something else really fast because those centuries had given him loads of times to think up all those creative ways to deal with swindlers. HOBBIES: Hunting for new things to learn is probably his most loved hobby and sole reason for living. He adores learning new trades. Surprise? Heh... When he's got nothing better to do, he writes new songs and sings in random squares of random places. It doesn't really matter to him. He's a nomad, clear that the information he hungers for could very well come in all shapes and sizes and from the most unlikely places. Other times, he's just waiting for people to come to him with a need and a cause. AMBITIONS: 'To know every and to master everything' pretty much sums it up. It's an empty ambition, he knows but one can do naught but try. There isn't much to think about tomorrow. One really doesn't even focus enough on today so why bother? Ahh... there is one... other... thing that lingers at the back of his mind. There is a certain... person, a witch or a demon, if you must, that he would so very much like to encounter again. The same witch that cursed him to this life. FEARS: Jack, more than anything, fears to accept his reality. He fears that one day, he'll have to directly confront it for real, to accept what he's become and to remind him of what he's lost in his life in order to attain what he thought was the most valuable thing in existence. OTHER INFORMATION: Ever since he was a child, Jack was intrigued by the world and everything in it. As a result, he did everything he could to learn as much as he could. However, it was still plain as day that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it in one lifetime. And that was when he met her. She offered him what he always wanted. She offered him time, lifetimes worth, to be exact. However, that came at a price. In exchange for time to learn everything, he received a curse at the same time. It was the curse to never be able to master anything no matter how much time he spent on it. Of course, that last part of the contract wasn't brought up until after the witch turned him into a phantom, a being that floated between life and death: a ghost.
