Beware the Berserkergang...
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Name: Jack
Meaning of Name (if any): As in Jack-in-the-box, from which he was modeled. (Not the restaurant chain, either, the jester in the box with the crank and that damn annoying song.)
Race: Clockwork Manequin
Age: 56
Apparent Age (if different): 25

Height: 5'10"
Build/Weight: Moderate Build, roughly 185 pounds. It should be noted that his body is made not of flesh, but a plastic-like material.
Hair: His hair is a solid, black, windswept mass of the same material he is made of.
Eyes: Gray.
Complexion: Whiter than white.

Identifying Marks (if present): He bears a large scar running down the left half of his face all the way to his chin. The scar runs through his eye as well, though it apparently has no ill effects. There is a heart-shaped hole on his chest, where clockwork is visible.
Other: When the room is quiet, a 128 BPM metronome tick can be heard from his chest cavity, evidence of the heart-machine that sustains his existance.

Clothing: His clothes are faded versions of a Medievial Jester's garb - a combination of curled-point shoes, poofy shoulders and pants, and tights, the entire set is colored a set of alternating dull blue and red.
Personal Items: Jester's Cane: This simple cane is a metal staff with a golden brass orb adorning the top, with the bottom half coming down to a sharp point. A candy-cane style striping pattern of alternating blue and red decorates the entire shaft.

Jester's Cloak: A simple cloak, wrapping around his shoulders and reaching down to the bend of his knees. It bears the same pattern as his clothing, the dull red and blue striping.


~Personal Information~

Personality: Jack is a quiet, easily confused individual, with a very black-and-white sense of right and wrong. He also understands little of life and death.
Occupation: Wanderer, Vigilante, Adventurer
Skills and Abilities: He is incredibly agile, as he is modeled after a cunning Jester, and is proficient in minor illusionary magics, like hallucinations, creating another version of himself, etc.
Weapons Used: His short staff, bearing the designs of a Jester's Cane, adorned with a brass ball on the crown of the cane. The cane is bevelled down to a point at the opposite end, and is primarily used for thrusting attacks. (See: Personal Items.)


~Background Information~

Family: Korvus Herr - Creator; age 86; deceased.
Marital Status: Null.
Children: Biologically Impossible.
History: Jack is the creation of the old magus Korvus Herr, whom had the hobby of ventriloquism and puppetry (without magic) when he was younger. As the magus grew older, he decided to imbue his favorite beaten-up mannequin, a jester, with a personality of its own and magically enhance its size to that of an average human, so he would have a companion to talk to through his older years. As the two aged, Jack began to view his creator as a sort of father.

Soon after Korvus reached the age of 86, he passed away, his age having caught up to him. Jack, having no concept of death or aging at the time, was left alone, confused, and furious. Slowly, he worked his way into the real world, trying to make it by.
