Semi well known among the folk, Jack is a travelling companion, offering lone survivors their company.

As a noncorporeal being (what we in the business would call a ghost) Jack can't do as much to help as they wish they could. All they have to offer people is a little bit of conversation, but in a barren wasteland with a dying population, for most that's good enough.

Jack's been around since day zero, and knows their fair share of what's what. Zombie hotspots? Unlooted buildings? Unoccupied hideouts? They're happy to help.

Before death Jack wasn't particularly somebody they liked, just a regular successful business joe providing a roof for their family, because that's what they were taught to do. Jack was never perfectly comfortable with that, and they couldn't ever figure out why. There's just something so uneasy about the idea of having a role you have to persue, a thing you have to do. It's not an unhappy life, far from it, but was it ever what they really wanted?

Jack died in a plane crash caused by the nuke while visiting the country with their wife and kids, and reemerged as a ghost almost instantly. Their family survived, but they were separated. Several months passed, and by the time they found them it was too late. The Bomber had found them first.

Jack, being undead too and able to understand zombie speak, soon realized that Bomber (merely a child at the time they met) was not what he was made out to be. He was a traumatized, lost teenager; controlled by bloodlust and tormented by his own existence.

Two trapped souls. One living in fear and scared of himself, the other with a built-in desire to help people. Jack decided to stick by him. They live together in Bomber's base and have for a long time now... Although most of the time Jack's out helping the survivors. It's nice to come home and have someone who can relate to all the challenges of being undead.

They do what they can to help, calming Bomber down when he's startled, giving him someone to talk to, but there's only so much Jack is capable of. They're desperate to see Bomber heal, but they don't have their hopes too high.

Being around so long, Jack has collected their fair share of stories from across the place, most are dark, but they've got some funny ones too. This makes them absolutely brilliant for conversation, good thing that's their main gig.

Bomber

Jack's roomate and close friend. The Bomber is a murderous plague parading as a zombie, but he's a miserable man stuck in the tendencies of a killer. Jack has known Bomber for nearly a decade, and it's nice to have someone you know well when you've got the duty Jack does. Jack doesn't hold a grudge against him for what he's done, they know how much it hurts Bomber to be forced to do such a thing, it's hard for Jack to look past it all the time but at the end of the day the two are close, Jack has seen his worst.

Sophie

Sophie was one of the first people Jack ever kept company, even before he met Bomber. They were only speaking for about a week, but in that time Jack learnt how to help survivors get around with their limitted ability, a skill they'd perfect later in life. Sophie was not much for conversation at the time, she was stuck in that panicked state of thoughtlessness and being a little gullible. Nonetheless they shared stories of Sophie's life before The Apocalypse and Jack's grudge against the zombie who killed their family.

Boot

Boot was the first physical contact Jack had felt in a long time since his passing. They were attacked by it very suddenly, and the memory lingered in Jack for a long time, so much so that they stayed inside for a week afterward. Jack is comfortable fighting Hostile Spirits now, but Boot played a part in getting them to that point. Jack has seen Boot since the attack, but hasn't engaged in combat with it.

Bailey

Bailey and Jack met during Jack's visit to Hideout 199, and Bailey seemingly couldn't take her eyes off of them. Bailey has a passion for all things paranormal, and Jack's visit was the first time she had ever gotten to speak with a Sentient Spirit. The two have run into one another multiple times since. Bailey has a tendency to leave the base unwarranted, and if Jack's in the area and spots her they'll watch over her until she heads back home.
