Character Biography:

History: Jack lived with his parents as a young child and grew up in a good home. His mother was loving and diminuitive. His father, however, was the bad egg in the picture. His father was an alcoholic and he was there at every turn to fight Jack. When Jack grew older he went to medical school and became a successful orthopaedic surgeon, working in the same hospital as his father. One day Jack was called into the operating room to find his father working on a patient. The patient was in critical condition and upon closer examination, Jack discovered it was because of a mistake his father had made. He confronted his father who then made him swear not to take the matter to a higher authority. Jack, however, had other ideas. He had to put a stop to it. Taking the matter to the M&M conference after the patient's death, Jack confessed about his father's drinking before the surgery and had his father's license suspended. After that his father flew off to Australia. The two parted on ill terms.

A while later, Jack's family received notification that his father had been found dead in Sydney and someone needed to go find the body. Of course, Jack volunteered. Upon seeing that his father really was dead, Jack broke down. He accompanied the body back to the States, but Oceanic flight 815 crashed before it reached LAX. Jack found himself on an island with several other survivors for over a year before they were finally rescued. Upon rescue, Jack needed to re-evaluate his life. It was then he decided upon moving to Aternaville.
Personality in seven words or less: Tempermental, independent, protective, possessive, determined
How Others Perceive Your Character: Sometimes a little unstable, as an almost "if you want things done right you have to do them yourself" type person. Not a quitter, never ready to just give up.
Beliefs, Convictions, Morals: When it comes to patients, Jack doesn't give up. He lives by the phrase Do No Harm. He's a man of science, not a man of faith. Either the group lives together or they die alone.
Reason(s) for Escaping to Canada: To get away from his past, to move on.
Their DHAs [Dreams, Hopes, and Aspirations] for Canada: To settle in and become successful in his career again. To find someone to settle down with. To take time to reflect on the past and change for the future.

Sample Journal Entry [1st POV]:

Dear Journal,

Most people wouldn't think of me as the type of person to keep a journal. Even I wouldn't think of myself as the type of person to keep a journal. However, since I'm being told from every which way lately that I need to get some of my feelings out and I need to get some rest, I've taken up a journal as means of expressing myself. I don't think I need to get anything out, I just need some sleep.

Sleep. That's something hard to come by for me lately. The moments where my eyes close are few and far between. There is always someone else who needs me. If no one needs me, then I go looking for work. It's a vicious cycle. If I sleep I'm worried that I'll think about him again. That's I'll dream of him and then become him.

I can't stand my father. He's been dead all this time and I still can't let go of the things that I feel towards him. I'm afraid that if I let go of those feelings, I'll become more ignorant of traits of his I'm developing. If I become more ignorant, I'm afraid that I'll be even more likely to become him.

No. I'll never be like him. I would never violate my Hippocratic Oath just for a few glasses of whiskey.

Do no harm.

Those are the words I live by. Even if my father chose to turn his back on those words that day, I will never follow in those footsteps.

I don't even know why I'm writing this. I don't need a journal to mull this over. I don't need to mull this over.

--Jack--

Sample RPG [Third Person, Character in Situation]:

Jack had never been so happy to see the caves as he was the moment that he and Kate broke through the dense foliage just outside the entrance of it. He was cold, he was sore, he was exhausted and he knew that Kate must be even worse. They only had to presevere for a short while longer, however. They just had to make it through the caves to the end where Jack's infirmary caves was settled. He looked over at Kate, his gaze enouraging her.

At the same time, Jack found strength within himself to carry on as he looked at Kate. She looked so much more pale now than she had in the rain, so much more drawn. Almost a week in the jungle had definitely taken it's toll on her. Jack was determined now to take care of Sawyer, make sure the man was well on his way to recovering and then to move on and take care of Kate, make sure she wasn't injured, make sure she recovered from the hypothermia. Once all of the formalities were out of the way, Jack would be able to take Kate in his arms and that thought pushed him on.

Finally he and Kate reached the infirmary cave and together they carefully laid Sawyer down on a reclined airplane seat. There was mud absolutely everywhere, all over the three of them, but right now Jack had to be concerned about Sawyer's wound before anything else. Jack looked over at Kate for a moment before standing up and rushing quickly to his supplies, retrieving several things he would need to patch Sawyer up. As he returned to the man's side, Jack retrieved several spare blankets, handing a few to Kate before using the rest of them to lay over Sawyer's body so the man would be kept warm as Jack worked. That way the hypothermia wouldn't make Sawyer's condition worse. Jack looked up at Kate for a moment as he began to peel Sawyer's shirt back to expose the bandage over the wound.

"I want you to move up there and sit down for a while, wrap yourself up in those blankets," Jack instructed softly. "You need to rest and let your body temperature readjust. I'll be over to check you out once I'm done here."

Jack looked back down at Sawyer, seeing the slightly bluish tinge Sawyer's lips had taken from the cold. He slowly peeled back the bandage covering Sawyer's wound and almost gasped at the sight of it. It was bleeding steadily and the skin around the wound was an angry red color, inflamed and edemous. Infection was setting in. Jack quickly poured some peroxide onto a cloth and began to clean out the wound thoroughly, knowing it was probably better that Sawyer was unconscious. If he'd been awake, the pain would have just knocked him out again.

200 Word or Less Summary and Reason for Escaping to Canada

After coming back from being rescued off of the island, Jack decided it was time for change. He couldn't face his past, so he would try running from it. One day he just packed up and left, broke all contact with his family and friends, and moved to Aternaville to start over, hoping to find peace and some semblance of a normal life there.
