JACK DONOVAN

BASIC INFORMATION

[Name:] Jack Donovan
[Age:] 26
[Birthday:] 30 December, 1980
[Deity:] Hermes, Greek Messenger, et al.
[Sexual Orientation:] Mostly Heterosexual, but willing to live a little.
[Family:]Only son of his parents, Richard and Nancy Donovan.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Jack stands about 5 feet nine inches. He has a slender build, like a long distance runner from his Cross Country running. His hair is a curly blonde, which adds to his whole childish sort of appearance. Unsurprisingly, because he looks very youthful, he’s carded quite a bit.

PERSONALITY

A sports enthusiast, Jack spends a lot of time outdoors. He likes to run in the mornings, and play football, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, anything involving athletics in the afternoons. He’s also a bit of a technology nerd. He likes the newest and the brightest gadgets that he can find (and afford). He likes the ladies, though he’s been suggested (by others) to be a little bit of a Nancy boy.

He’ll read a book when a good one is present, he isn’t above learning, and he is always a bit on the cheeky side. However, anyone that knows Jack will avidly inform you that he’s a prankster. April Fools is his favorite day of the year, but he doesn’t limit his antics to those things. He’s a bit a petty thief, but only steals the little things…things that aren’t missed by anyone or anything. And mostly, he only does it to amuse him.

HISTORY

Jack was born in rural Texas, near Greenville. His parents owned a ranch, but never made much money. He learned to ride horses, fix fences, and all other numerous ranching habits. But like all things, life is never so simple. As he grew older, Jack grew more reckless.

By 14 he was already a known face to the local authorities for criminal actions, breaking and entering on at least three occasions, minor thefts of farm equipment, and generally labeled a ‘hell raiser’. He’s parents, while always proud, considered sending him to boot camp one summer because of his reckless behavior, but backed out when he joined the track team.

When he got his license (at fifteen), he used to race a Ford truck down the old dirt roads. He raced friends, and he raced anything…until the tickets started pouring in. At 17 he was involved in a particularly ugly wreck that thankfully did not leave anyone injured, though it totaled both the truck and the car Jack hit. Jack was charged with reckless driving, and driving while intoxicated. The judge revoked his license for one year, and gave him 150 hours of community service. The judge promised the next time he came before the courts for anything he’d be serving three to five years minimum.

Graduating from High school when he was 18, Jack and his best friend (Morgan Evans, whom he’d grown up with) went out to a wild party. Jack, well known as a playboy all through high school, got the scare of his life that night. Jennie, a girl that Jack had an on going sexual relationship with, came up pregnant. Freaking out she ran to Jack, telling him she was going to have his baby.

Like any 18 year old boy, Jack flipped out. He and Jennie spent most of the night outdoors screaming at each other about what they should do. She wanted to keep it, Jack didn’t want to be a father. That night Jack was involved in a second major wreck. By sheer luck, the police ruled that it wasn’t Jack’s fault. But only because people lied for him, mostly Morgan.

Jack never told Morgan, though, what brought on the drinking and bad mood that night. Jack and Jennie never told anyone about the kid, even after they went to an abortion clinic. Jack and Jennie parted after that, writing for a while to each other before finally losing touch completely. She had been the closest thing to a girlfriend Jack had ever had, and she was the last.

That august, Jack started as a freshman at the University of Texas. There he was a member of the track team, on scholarship. Six weeks into the semester he rushed Sigma Nu. He went in as a Business major, and by his sophomore year he was putting his business skills to the test. In the Frat Jack arranged and ran an illegal casino. Luck was certainly on his side with running this thing, too. Amazingly he ran it for three years without ever getting caught, despite all the close calls.

Spring of 2001 Jack was offered a job in a D.C. based company called, Spytech Inc.. Having won several business school awards, graduating with honors and athletic awards, Jack accepted the job and left college with a bright future ahead of him. He had full intentions of continuing on to get his Masters degree, and start his own company. However, his schedule and success at Spytech did not give him enough time to accomplish that goal.

He still runs every day at five am, and is active in sports and recreational activities. He’s been promoted to a project manager, and has never quite mastered a dating life, but then many say he has no life. Recently though, Jack was fired from Spytech, and is under investigation for Corporate Fraud. This makes finding a new job particularly hard. And while his friends know he is fired, no one knows that the police are looking into his history.

WEAKNESSES

He has trouble being serious, and is overly playful at times. He is a bit overly forward with the ladies sometimes, loud, obnoxious and sometimes rude. He steals things, and likes to be the center of attention. He tells lies as if it were the only thing he knew how to say, and he has commitment issues.

STRENGTHS

Quick and clever, Jack is good at thinking on his feet. He’s fast, and not just in the way that most people think. He’s proficient, and dependable. He’s got a head for business, and a bit of luck with gambling. And we must not forget he is in extremely good health.

GENERAL DEITY HISTORY

Briefly stated: Hermes was born as the only son of Maia and Zeus. He was conceived and birthed on the same day, and within hours of birth able to walk and speak. Feeling that he should be allowed to claim a birth right to the Kingdom of Olympus, Hermes slipped away from his mother not long after his birth. He stumbled across Apollo’s cattle, and with a mischievous plan, forced them to walk backwards so to confused the distracted sun god. Once the cattle had been stolen he killed 11 Olympians, and one for himself.

Apollo did discover him, and angrily took him before Zeus. The Father of the gods bid Hermes, the young rogue, to return the cattle (Which were later kept by Hermes in exchange for the lyre he was given)…but so impressed with the child’s cleverness took him as Personal Messenger, and gave him a seat among the Greatest of Olympians.
In his time as a great god of Olympus Hermes has served his King well. He saved Io, a lover of Zeus, from the hideous giant Argos (A titan with 100 eyes, and never closed all at once- save till Hermes lulled him to sleep and then beheaded him). In the Giant Wars, Hermes defeated Typhoeus. He marched against Troy along side Hera, but did not fight against Leto in battle. He took Priam to retrieve the body of Hector from Achilles, and promised safe passage while the king did so. When commanded, he helped create Pandora…giving woman a shameless mind and deceitful nature. He divided the known world by language, and connected them along roads that he guarded safe. In both the hearts of thieves and Merchants alike he instilled the deceitful nature and cunning of mind. He guarded the messengers that crossed the country sides, and blessed the farmer who sought truth in an honest day’s work. He did the bidding of Zeus and punished those that would defy the king. He tied Prometheus to his rock, and upon the rise of Eos summoned the eagle to eat at the titan each morning. He bound Sisyphos to the wheel in the land of the dead, and punished Agrios and Oreios for devouring vistors to their home. He offer Harmonia to Kadmos by his father’s orders. He forbade Poseidon, at Zeus’ command, from flooding the land of Attic. But those are not all that he hath done.
