How did their university life go? What kind of grades did they get? Did they enjoy it or not?: Jack worked hard at uni. Her social class wasn’t the highest and her mother sacrificed a lot to get her there so she wanted to make Margaret proud. She ended up graduating a year early with honors. She definitely enjoyed it, making a few friends here and there but mostly sticking to herself to get through. Most of her friends were at camp anyway.

What jobs did they have during and after going to university? How did they go? Did they enjoy them?: Jack worked at an auto repair shop during university and worked there for a little while longer after university. At that point, her boss fired her because he knew that she could accomplish great things. She got a job at a major architectural firm, which she eventually left and she opened her own.

Since then, she’s also invented small contraptions that are useful in every day life and practically fly off the shelves.

What is their current job like? How long have they had it for? What’s the salary like? Is it what they want to be doing?: She currently runs her architectural firm which gets more successful by the day. As previously mentioned, she opened the firm at the age of 25 so she’s had it for four years. She isn’t filthy rich but she’s well off with the money she earns from the firm and from her inventing on the side. it’s definitely something she wants to be doing. She loves her job and likes to be involved as much as she can.

What was their dream job ten years ago? Do they have it? Has it changed over the years? Did they have to sacrifice it?: Her dream job was to be a world famous inventor. She isn’t quite there yet but she’s working on it. She has no intention of giving up on her dream ever.

Relationships & Family

What’s been happening in their family life? Any serious losses? Any drama? If so, how did that impact them?: There was one stressful time where her mother and stepfather got into a car accident. They were both seriously injured but are still alive. Another big event that was only slightly less stressful was her stepbrother, Jonathan’s wedding to a woman named Adelaide. Jack was a bridesmaid at this wedding and, while she isn’t fond of dresses, she enjoyed it very much. Jack’s relationship with her mother is stronger than ever and she has a pretty strong relationship with her stepfather and Hephaestus too. She absolutely adores her little half-sister , Octavia, who’s all grown up and going to NYU in the fall. Jack is very protective of Octavia, despite how grown up and responsible she is, and any guy who looks her way has to go through Jack and Jonathan first. 

How many relationships have they been in over the last ten years? Who were they with? What were they like?: Jack has been in four relationships in the last ten years. The longest one lasted a year. The first was with a guy from camp but they broke it off after six months when Jack decided to spend more time focused on school. The second was with a classmate of hers. He was actually a year older but they graduated at the same time. It lasted three months but then finals and graduation came around and they decided to break up. Her third and longest relationship was with a guy she worked with at the auto repair shop. It lasted a year and she thought for a few months that he would be the guy she spent her life with but then he joined the army and was transferred elsewhere. They broke it off before he left and while Jack wasn’t devastated, she was still pretty upset. Her fourth relationship also lasted six months but it was only exciting at the beginning and then the chemistry faded so she broke it off. He was more upset than she was. She’s also had several one night stands and flings in between but nothing too serious. She’d much rather get ahead in her career and enjoy spending time with her best friend, Rori, as a roommate before she decides to settle anywhere.

Who do they live with? How long have they lived together? What’s it like living with them?: Jack has lived with her best friend Rori since she was 24. She’d much rather live with her best friends than anyone else in the entire world. They have great times together either going out or just staying in and binge-watching movies and series on Netflix.

Describe the place they live. What’s the style of the place? Is it well-kept or is it a mess? What could an outsider find out about them from what they see?: There are two rooms where you can find out most about Jack. Her office and her bedroom. The communal areas of the loft and kept more or less neat for when guests come over. Her bedroom is the same most of the time. It’s the most messy midweek but by the weekend she’s cleaned it up in case she goes out and ends up bringing someone home. Her office is more like her forges back at camp, minus the actual forges. It’s a workbench with wires, designs and pieces of scrap metal everywhere. It’s locked whenever she’s not in there so nobody accidentally goes in. She rarely even lets Rori in. 

Favorites

What are some of your character’s hobbies? What relaxes them?: Inventing and tinkering is both a hobby and what relaxes her. Whenever she’s stressed after a day of work she locks herself in her office and doesn’t come out until she’s made something brand new. That’s how it’s always been and that’s how it will probably always be.

Where do they like to spend their time?: If it’s not in the office, it’s with Rori or her family, although Rori is family. It isn’t really a where as much as a with whom.

Political stance? Are they active in politics or do they not care?: She really doesn’t have much interest in politics. She’ll vote for whoever her mother is voting for when elections come around because when they do talk about politics, they more often than not agree with each other.

What are some of their pet peeves?: Jack still can’t stand it when people are careless with other people’s belongings and more often than not end up breaking said belongings. She also hates it when people chew with their mouths open.
