Personality:
Jack is timid, polite, and reserved. He was known as the peace keeper child, always appeasing and sacrificing to keep things running smoothly between his siblings. Dependent on others. Usually a very calm and light hearted person. When troubles came, he tried to be optimistic. However, after the death of his family, Jack is even more reserved than before and is fueled by a burning anger and hatred inside of him. Will not often act upon his anger but he is no longer gentle and can be easily triggered these days. However, he does his best to keep it together infront of strangers.
Bio:
Being the second oldest of the Reed children, Jack grew up in his brother, Tom's shadow. He was an obedient child growing up and valued his family dearly. He did not attend school past the sixth grade, as his help was needed at the farm. He was the closest child to his father, as the two of them would often go on hunting trips alone. His mother was more fond of Tom, and while his father did have a strong fondness of Tom as well, he always had a special bond with Jack.
Life carried on as normal, not having any real change until the depression hit and their land began to turn to dust. His parents no longer got along and each family member was in low spirits. It was not until Margaret came down with a strong illness that things truly began to go sour. The family resorted to selling most, if not all, of their valuable possessions including jewelry, family heirlooms, the family car, and numerous livestock. However, they still did not have enough money for medicine or a doctor. A few weeks into Margaret's illness, Tom came down with a similar affliction. With the eldest son unable to function, the task was now up to Jack. About a month an a half later, Margaret passed away. Tom followed her three weeks later. The youngest sibling, Deborah had also come down with an illness at this point. It had proven to not be as severe as Margaret or Tom's but it did a toll on her young body. This drew Jack, his brother Fredrick, and their father even closer. They vigorously tried to reap crops from their land but obtained no such luck. The men began taking turns of riding into the city to find work, often coming back empty handed.
Seven months after the death of Tom, true tragedy struck the family. In the early hours of the night, a band of criminals attacked the farm house. Said criminals took whatever food or semi valuable possessions they could find, killing Joseph, Fredrick, and Deborah in the process. They had knocked Jack out by smacking him over the back of the head with a rifle. Thinking him dead, they took off. When Jack came to, he discovered his home to be ransacked, his brother and sister dead from gunshot wounds, and his father dying in a pool of blood on the floor. He held his father in his arms for the last few minutes of his life and vowed to kill the men who did this to him.
