After the big fallout with his parents over his sexuality and subsequently being kicked out the moment he turned eighteen, Jack moved in with his more open-minded aunt Fiona. He is currently working his way through college as a waiter in a high-class restaurant, with a little (unwanted) help from Fiona. Jack plans to major in engineering.

Personality

To put it bluntly, Jack is a brilliant kid. He's got a quick mind and an even quicker tongue, both sharp as knives. On the exterior he is generally seen as a witty, clever sort of guy, with a dash of bad boy appeal. The boy's got an intensity and charisma to him that others are hard-pressed to match. Behind all of it, however, is the keen, genuine intelligence that won him a scholarship from UCLA.

Some of the most brilliant minds, though, are some of the most troubled. While always a tad cynical, the outright rejection he faced when he came out to his parents warped his personality. He went from a happy, carefree child with a bit of a wild streak, to a tough, mistrustful, lonely man, hurt more deeply by the disgust his parents displayed than he likes to let on; the weight of the world suddenly fell on his shoulders. To be fair, this pseudo-depression had always lurked under the surface of his facade, but it had never become fully realized until then.

Despite this, Jack is not an inherently 'bad' person, or anything of the like. He is a passionate soul, and loves having a cause to champion. He has a strong sense of justice, and doles out revenge as he sees fit-- though his judgement can become clouded by his emotions. While wily and silver-tongued, Jack does honor a deal, and tends to avoid overtly foul play.

He is capable of being incredibly gentle with others, though this side of him rarely comes out now, as Jack has built up walls to keep others out.

History

Jack Glenn Thames was born to Noah and Maddie Thames in May, their first and last child. From the beginning he was spoiled rotten, as Maddie was of a weak constitution and therefore couldn't risk having another child. They poured all their love into Jack, and he blossomed under this attention, growing up happy and careless. Life was a blessing for most of his life.

Then, in his freshman year of high school, after his latest girlfriend had broken up with him (she accused him of not caring enough), he noticed something. Jack was intelligent enough to notice the way he would allow his eyes to drift to other boys in the locker room, admiring their bodies. It wasn't until the end of the year though, that he realized that he really had no interest in girls.

Not quite sure what to make of this revelation, he stayed silent until near the end of his senior year, after his parents tried to set him up with a family friend's daughter. He came out-- told them he was gay.

There had been a brilliant row afterwards, and after a few choice words were exchanged, Jack swore to move out. His father agreed, and his mother, well, she had always gone along with what Noah said. So that year, he graduated and moved in with Aunt Fiona.

His father has not said a word to him since, though his mother has repeatedly begged him to come home.
