"I think on some level, that's a fear that exists in everybody, that if we're tested, we won't make the courageous choice. We won't make the decision that would make us heroic. We make the decision that would reveal us to be all too human."

~ Bruce Greenwood



History

A young man on the fast track to success, Jack Harrison's life completely turned upside-down with the birth of his daughter and then death of his wife and discovery of his powers. He's now an unassuming auto mechanic looking out for what's left of his family: his daughter. He just wants to make a normal life out of an extraordinary ability.

Physical Description

While barefoot and wearing naught, this man stands an inch or two over a six foot mark and weighs around two-hundred pounds. He has a broad-shouldered and muscled build, in the likeness of something of a professional football player. He is dark-skinned with a brown, smooth complexion. He keeps his head cleanly shaved though sports a neat, black goatee. A broad brow and thick black brows are set above his eyes, with the irises a dark brown that nears black. He has a straight, broad nose and strong jaw, chin, and plain ears. Strong expressions reveal the beginnings of worry lines at his temples and dimples flanking his near-pinked lips. His earlobes are pierced, usually adorned with uncomplicated diamond studs.

Personality Quirks

Jack is a pretty down to earth guy once one breaches his general aloofness and quiet. He's easy to relate to most times and he tries to be relaxed, and easy-going. The man is confident in his own skin and he generally makes certain there's no doubt about that. He excels at being a conversationalist, almost manipulative in a way by charisma and interpersonal skill alone. He's oft to listen more than speak and more than welcome to keep a secret rather than share one of his own. He can be trustworthy. He very much prefers to keep his private life separate from his public one, even if that would drive a potential acquaintance away.

As the years have gone by, Jack has focused his life around his daughter. He protects her with a steely tenacity and as much as she is the strongest link in his life she is also the weakest. She's his princess. He would do anything for her and to a strong degree of shirking rules and morals if harming others in order to protect her is necessary. Otherwise, he follows his heart and is predictable to act in the need to be selfish and egocentric. He likes to be right to even a pedantic degree and his pride makes it hard for him to apologize. It conflicts with his desires to be compassionate and honorable, a right and proper gentleman.

Typology

According to the Myers-Briggs (Jung) Typology test, Harrison is an ESFJ, commonly known as Providers.

Extraverted: 54 Sensing: 68 Feeling: 60 Judging: 73

ESFJs focus on the outside world and assess their experiences subjectively. They project warmth through a genuine interest in the well-being of others. All else being equal, they enjoy being in charge. Providers are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls.

Known Abilities

Jack Harrison possesses the power of Superhuman Strength. His muscular system is able to naturally produce a greater potential output far beyond that of the average human potential. This constant creation of excess force, compared to normal human possibilities, does come with its limits and difficulties, however.

Ability Stunts

Stunt Name Stunt Description
The High Jump When Jack applies enough force with his legs he can jump at larger than normal heights and lengths. Damage to the area can be easily noticeable or superficial depending on the force applied and he doesn't know how high or far he can jump using this method of travel beyond a single story and quarter block so don't ask him to leap over any ten story buildings especially when he has no protection against falling from great heights.
The Long Haul The core application that Jack applies his superhuman strength to revolves around lifting and moving things normal humans find impossible to physically manipulate. He possesses sufficient strength to influence and safely handle many times his body weight in objects.
The Total Knockout Jack may not be a boxer or one of those fancy martial artists but that doesn't mean his punches kicks and throws don't hurt when they land. He can easily do some tremendous damage to an opponent when slinging around strikes with his body. Said body can be crushing and his grip can be excruciating.
