Appearance: Background: Jamie Packard hasn't exactly had the best of luck in his childhood. When the turn of the millennium saw the Anarchist movement erupt, his family found themselves caught in the heat, what with Nora Packard being a small-time cop in Imatra. Unprepared to fight such a major outbreak, and yet unwilling to turn away from her duty, Nora fought her best and was ultimately beaten down and publicly executed alongside ten other members of her brigade. This was just before little Jamie was even five years old yet, barely even able to grasp the idea of what was happening in the world and why her mother was so suddenly gone.
As the time of the 'Revolution' began to rear its ugly head, Jamie's father Gustrav found himself being drafted into the military. Fearing the worst after seeing his wife die, Gustrav had his son sent to live with his uncle in Switzerland, where Jay could hopefully live and grow up in safety. Though the boy did end up quite safe, Jamie's uncle couldn't help but concern over his brother, unwittingly exposing Jamie to the many evils and violence of the modern freedom movement.
Come age 8, and the poor child had an equally poor outlook on life ahead. Even as some semblance of order would return, the machinations of the world remained changed. Taxes were long exhausted, stock fluctuated wildly, private defense and major corporations boomed and dominated. Even after the war was over, Gustrav gave no signs of returning. Jamie's uncle went into depression, the remainders of his money spent drowning himself in cheap alcohol. Jamie couldn't help but be lost and alone, unable to yet act for himself and yet unsure of what he could even do.
At age 12, Jamie Packard was taken into government custody after a court ruling decided his uncle was unfit to remain a legal guardian for him. Any extensive care plans that would've taken the child in were long gone now; the only place willing to put forth the effort of taking him in happened to be one of the seedier private military corporations. They would teach him that the most common, the most well-paying, the only business worth pursuing at all in this new world had to be security detail. As much as Jamie would reject and resent their teachings and training to turn him into another of their corrupt soldiers, he simply had no other option lef to him as an individual, and could only force himself to accept that.
In 2012, one year later, the private industry housing Jamie is compromised after the Anarchist movement exposes their criminal practices and undermines several of their operations. Unfit to continue, the company attempts a merger with a more localized security firm in order to regain a foothold, only to be subsequently absorbed. By this stroke of luck, Jamie is able to come in contact with his father, who had quietly transitioned into work as a security agent without sharing the news with his family. This certain revelation leads to Jay attempting to formally disown Gustrav as his father, utterly disgusted over the man's apparent selfishness- alongside the fact that he seemed to be fooled into the same mindset that private security was the best job to pursue.
Fast-forward several decades, filled with strife, training, controversy, and war. Jay Packard, age 32, is now one of the top marksmen in his branch of the agency - but only begrudgingly so. He works as a skilled assassin and watchman, skilled enough to take on the more dangerous and expensive of operation with little strife and cost. Jay's aim in his field is the money, not to fight for any particular side. For as swiftly as he works, he too is silently dissatisfied with the politics of the world and quietly longing for the power to change that.
In early August, Jamie was extended an offer to join the Combat Operative Private Service program, and help take Neo-Bay City back from the rings of corruption and violence that now governed it.
