Jack Wesson

Jack, Jack, Jack...no matter the reincarnation, Jack is always strong, stubborn, and passionate - a willing martyr to whichever is his favored cause. He's a fun character to write, all angst-ridden and intense...Charlotte--the little sister he guards with his very soul (literally)--finds him to be irritatingly judgmental, having an open mind and a case-by-case mentality when confronting a specific problem herself. Jack assess a situation from the outside and assumes from his past experience that "this happens this way" and "that happens that way" without exception (and he is often correct since he never makes it far enough for something dramatic and unusual to happen). Even if life were to settle down for him (without killing him), he wouldn't start a family of his own, preferring instead to roam around and kill things well into his old age. He would make his own un-settled-down-ness.

Unfortunately, I usually have him die a heroic death as the push to get a story rolling, and so rob myself of his exciting, adrenaline-powered personality.
