jack wasn't ok. he was horrified, he felt like he had just had a run in with death, and the worst part? he wanted to finish that run in. he wanted J to plant a bullet right in his brain, and just end it. he was in pain, he was sick both physically and mentally, and he had lost a lot of blood earlier, not to mention the heart attack he had. the only thing that could calm his nerves were his cigarettes. so far, within four hours, he had finished half a pack, hoping desperately that he might suffocate on the smoke before he blew it out. this was currently his eleventh one, and by now the tears were streaming down his cheeks and his lips quivered with every breath. he was alone. he was completely alone in this cruel world.
[spoiler=tags | 01 / 9 / 17]NAME & NICKNAMES: jackson morrison jr. | jack / soldier: 76 / soldier
 PREVIOUS NAMES & NICKNAMES: no previous names or nicknames AGE, PLACE & DATE OF BIRTH: 55 Years Old, born 25/12 in bloomington, indiana. GENDER & PRONOUNS: Cisgender, he / him
CURRENT RANK & MEMBERSHIP: member of flintlock lodge.
 PREVIOUS RANKS & MEMBERSHIPS: no previous groups or positions
SEXUALITY & RELATIONSHIP STATUS: biromantic bisexual; taken by gabriel
 PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS: no previous relationships PARENTS & GENERATION: rebecca morrison, jackson morrison. Generation ??
 [i]SIBLINGS & HALF-SIBLINGS: no siblings FAMILY: Armitage hux, adoptive son. Six, adoptive daughter, the entire flintlock lodge
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'1" & 220LBS | jack may be old, but he loves to work out, resulting in a very strong, tall old man. he, in no way, looks like a body builder but you wouldn't want to pick a fight with him. he varies a ten pound gun around on his back, and can pack an incredible punch, but he's in no way invincible. his weak points are a pressure point on his neck, and he will instantly surrender if you manage to put him in a choke hold. reaching both of these points would be incredibly difficult though, as- despite his weight and age- he's incredibly quick.
 BODY TYPE: wide-shouldered athletic
EYE COLOR & SHAPE: jack sort of looks like he's constantly suspicious of everyone, as his eyes are always sort of squinted, and he's constantly scowling, but his natural eye shape is downturned almond eyes. often times it's difficult to tell jacks eye colour, as they sort of shift between grayish blue and a steely gray
COLORATION: jack doesn't really have a lot of colour to him, as most of his colour is in his clothing. he's oddly pale, and has a few extremely light freckles, but those are only really visible if he blushes. his hair is just a pure, snowy white, with a few blond strands left on the sides. his clothes, however, are mostly blue, with patches of white and a big red "76" printed on the back. he wears a blue titanium mask with red, with a red bullet proof glass eye shield.
 PROMINENT FEATURES: jack is certainly one of those people you hate because they've aged so well. he is basically a male Jennifer anniston. the only thing really giving away his age is a few wrinkles here and here, and his spiky white hair (which some how hasn't started falling out, so he still has a full head of hair). his voice is also a large give away, as it's grown quite rough but he still keeps the intimidating, dark deepness he had as a young man.
PERSONALITY: jack, if you could describe his entire personality in one word, that word would be "dad". if you could imagine a dad, some would probably think: goofy, protective, strong.. and that just scrapes the surface. yes, jack is incredibly goofy and lenient, but he can be incredibly serious if it comes to it. he hates to punish his kids, but he isn't afraid to yell at them (though, he'd never lay a hand in them, even if he treatens to whoop their butts). jack does have a pretty short temper, so if you make him angry, you ought to brace yourself for the absolute worst. if you hurt his kids, he can and most likely will kill you, depending on the severity, which is where his protectiveness comes in. being an exsoldier and a dad, this makes him incredibly wary of strangers, often pointing his gun at them or trying to seem as intimidating as possible. despite being such a large and strong man, jack has a few mental problems. he has some serious ptsd, and once he starts a real fight with an enemy, he won't stop until they're on the verge of death or worse. he has a pretty extreme fear of being locked in a room with absolutely no way out, and will have a panicky attack.

Johannes didn't know what to do. He had found Jack like this, smoking, shaking and a wet face. He wasn't--equipped for this. He just didn't know. He couldn't do nothing--he knew that much. So he moved in, looking across at him with scared eyes. "..Jack?"
Sinking fast,
the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue
with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me

jack quickly wiped the tears away, wincing slightly. he crushed the cigarette in the ash tray he had found in the lodge and sighed, glancing at the dictator. "if you're here to lecture me, i've already had at least three people tell at me." he mumbled, frowning.
