Jack Solaire

Since his arrival, Jack has gone through some rather major changes. From Matey to Kingsley, to Solaire - from a fake pirate to a real one. Now, he tries his best to protect and serve the Isle that he once sought to destroy.

Backstory
Jack has almost no recollection of his early life. At a very young age, he was stolen from his parents by pirate hunters, who trained him to become an efficient spy and a killer. At the age of 16, he was given his first assignment: a “hidden” pirate outpost to infiltrate and destroy from the inside, which he did. And then he went on to the next assignment. And the next. And the next, and so forth. Until Puerto Dorado. He can’t quite explain what changed, but there was a moment where he decided that he was done- that this was the end for him. So begins the story of Jack Solaire of The Sunken Cephalopod.

Appearance & Gear
Jack is human, standing at about 1.77 meters (5’10”). He has perceptive brown eyes and long darkish brown hair, which he usually keeps in a braid. As for clothes, he can usually be seen wearing a red vest over a white long-sleeved shirt. The vest, aside from being rather fashionable, has quite a few pockets. In those pockets can be found small books, usually poetry, as well as his journal/notebook.

Also usually on his person are his weapons, of which he only has two. His pistol, a French Model 1763, has served him well for many years. In close combat, he generally favours his knife, which is in the Fairbairn-Sykes style. While he can use other weapons somewhat well, his proficiency lies in these two.



Personality
In his mid-20s, Jack is an outgoing and friendly person. He especially likes to hear stories and learn more about others. He’s pretty much always willing to help a friend. He can be very polite and formal, especially with people in positions of authority. However, he allows himself to be more casual around people that he knows well. Jack enjoys reading poetry, as well as performing it in the tavern on quiet nights.
