Description

Jack has a few constants in his life: grime, a toolbelt, his favorite armored jacket, and a beard that seems to defy physics, which hides a shiny partial metal jaw. Back in the 50s, Jack was counted among one of the novahot riggers, but with Crash 2.0 he took the opportunity and left the shadows. Now, he is just Jack, and his past a secret.

Jack's a dwarf, proud about it, and to quote him, "dayum good at me job". His shop, The Armored Jacket, seems small at first, full with racks of armored clothes and jackets in all colors and sizes, but Jack is savvy and hides the good stuff in his back room(s). But even his back room(s) have back room(s), so you’re never seeing the REAL good stuff.

• Likes: Dwarfs, armoured jackets, a good grown and groomed beard
• Dislikes: high fashion clothes, unarmored clothes (yer beggin to get shot laddie), Armand, Soyweiser (who drinks this piss!)
