Five Fast Facts
- While he might have been born and grew up in London, he considers Mercy Cove to be his true, spirital home.
- Is an avid gym go-er, and likes to keep himself in top form all the time.
- While he is not vegetarian, prefers a largely plant based diet. He blames this on his shifted form, and Gorilla's preference for things like fresh fruit, vegetables and seeds.
- When he is stressed, it is pretty much guarenteed that you'll find him in the forest somewhere in his other form, up tall trees.
- Is more then a little bit of a social media whore. Loves a good instagram selfie, or tiktok video of him dancing.
Personality
POSITIVE- WITTY: If there is one thing that Jack loves and excels with, it's a bit of verbal banter whether with the lads or a pretty lady. He especially enjoys it, as he knows that a lot of people can think from his first impression that he might not be the sharpest, so he enjoys nothing more than proving these people brutally wrong.
- CHARMING: Being a textbook people-pleaser, Jack likes nothing more than to win people round to liking him, especially if he thinks they don't. He also likes to think of himself as a bit of a ladies man, priding himself on knowing when to say the right thing at the right time.
- ORGANISATION: While this is not a skill that most people would associate with him, those that truly call Jack their friend, know how bad he can be with making sure that things go to plan. This is something that has only gotten worse since he got the job as Bar Manager at the brewery, as he thinks that unless things are impeccably organised, then it will all go wrong.
- CARING: Again, this is not a trait that most people who first meet him would associate with him, but Jack is a complete and utter teddy bear to those that he holds dearest. There is pretty much nothing that he would not do for his family or friends if they needed him. While he is not loud and showy about it, he is the type of guy who will always walk his female friends home at the end of the night to make sure they get home safe, and if you're having a bad day he will turn up with beer and pizza to hangout.
NEGATIVE
- SELF CONSCIOUS: Even though Jack likes to project an image of being someone who is very confident, and self-assured, the reality is that this could not be further from the truth. He doesn't think that he is particularly attractive (despite telling people he thinks he is), and it doesn't take much to have him become paranoid when someone says anything about him, that might even be slightly off.
- TALKS/ACTS BEFORE HE THINKS: Jack likes to think that he is quite charming and eloquent, both of which he can be at times. The only problem is the times when he does not engage his brain before speaking or doing something, and everything blows up in his face spectacularly. This often occurs where there is a girl that he likes involved, as he will say pretty much anything if he thinks it will impress a girl he likes.
- FIERY: While Jack enjoys banter as much as the next person, it does not take much in order to send him into a fiery rage. He tries his best to hold his temper, but once he is inflamed he finds it incredibly hard to calm back down without wanting to punch something or someone.
- HEDONISTIC: While Jack knows better, he is terrible at trying to control himself in any way, shape or form. This is particularly obvious after he has had a beer or two, as he will often drink till late into the night, despite knowing he needs to be up early the next day for work. He does try and be a responsible adult, but give the man the choice between doing something he needs to do or something he wants to do, then the want always wins out.
History
Born 8th May 1989 in London, England, Jack was born the first and only child of Louise Sloper and Owen Matthews. His mother, at the time an American backpacking through Europe and working in bars met his father when he stumbled into the bar, she had been working in. Being a young girl of only 18 at the time, while his father was in his late 20's, his mother was of course flattered by the attentions of what she thought was an older, more sophisticated English man. She thought the pairing was everything that Hollywood rom coms had promised her, growing up.Unfortunately for both Louise and Jack, his father Owen was a horrendous drunk who would spend more time in and out of jail for various petty crimes, then he did with the family. Which, in reality, was probably a godsend for them both, as he was hardly winning any father of the year awards, when he was.
Eventually the final straw came for Louise when Jack was 13, and Owen raised his hand to Jack. Not really having a huge support network due to the way that Owen had isolated her from people in England, Louise decided to return to somewhere where she knew she did. So, packing up their things, she divorced Owen, they both went back to using her maiden name and they returned to Mercy Cove where she grew up.
Really, it was a move that proved to be the best course of action for them both, as when Jack turned 14, he first found himself accidentally transforming into a Gorilla. Completely freaked out at first at what happened, his mother explained that he came from a long line of Shifters on her side of the family, all largely favouring some form of Gorilla or Monkey.
While naturally, he was freaked out at first, he found some sort of peace in Mercy Cove knowing that he was not alone, and there were others of his kind. To do this day, he is grateful that he went back to Mercy Cove when they did, as he cannot imagine being a Gorilla shifter in London without anywhere to swing around.
