Birthplace: Okay, try to follow along, Jack's family is English, as in from the UK; however, they moved to the United States right before he was born. It wasn't until he was eighteen years did he move to Japan.
Family: None because they are all useless pieces of crap

History: They say that some kids are screwed before they are even born, that the family someone comes from really does determine how their life will turn out. It's not that way for everyone but for Jack it was and no amount of good luck or whatever could have changed the facts. Jack's family was never a credible one, both his mother and father never honestly worked a day in their lives. They got their money by frauding the government and breaking the law, and although they never did get caught they were still criminals in every sense of the word. Drugs were his family's trade of choice and slowly as the years passed the Simon's were known for getting the job done and not getting caught while doing it. Was only natural that after years of being in the drug smuggling game that word got around the underworld about a skilled family of mules. It was right around the time Jack was conceived that his father got a drug smuggling gig from one of his connections in the United States. Many people would think twice about being an international drug mule, but not his father. In fact, he even expected his wife to help out when large jobs came their way. That was Jack's family life most of the time before he was born and when his mother finally noticed she was pregnant Jack was his family's ticket to big money and the States. The further along in her pregnancy she got the more drugs they were able to smuggle. After all what kind of cop suspected a pregnant lady to be a smuggler, much less searched her? Playing on people's morals made the Simons good at what they did and eventually, they became good enough to begin asking favors of their American connections. Green cards were what they needed and again they used their son as an excuse to get it. Told their connections how they wished their son was American even promised that he would work for them if he was. 

It was lucky that the Simon family had a good reputation among the scum bags of the world because green cards are what they got for all their hard work. Had them singing the anthem all the way to their new home in Harlem where they worked as one of the top brass in the New York drug ring. Needless to say when Jack was born he was without a leg to stand on per-say. As a baby, he pawned off to anyone who was willing to watch him for a quick buck, who were mostly druggies that owed his parents. Needless to say with the lack of quality and care in his life he was more than abused as a child, even shaken around by god knows how many people while he was still a baby. Abuse was the leading cause to all of his disabilities go figure and oh well because what could he have done as a baby rather than just take the beatings? It wasn't until he was a little more grown-up did he begin to fight back, he fought back at school because let's face it the school system sucked, he fought back at home because his family sucked, and even fought when he was forced to deal drugs. Life for Jack was pretty much one big brawl until he was old enough to make choices for himself. At eighteen Jack ran away from home and moved to Florida, thinking that was far enough away from his piece of shit family. It wasn't and he found out the hard way that he would have to leave the country to escape his families clutches. So that's what he did, he saved up every damn penny he had and took every test he needed to so that he could become a Japanese citizen. He kind of randomly picked Japan because of how many people lived on the tiny island, there was no other logic to it and that's how he has come to live in Shizume Town.

It was fate really that Jack ended up part of Homra, kind of just wandered onto their turf and ended up in a brawl. Although he lacked the advantage of having powers, Jack still put up one hell of a fight, a good enough fight in fact that the previous red clan's leader Mikoto commented on the fire in his eyes and told him to stop by the bar if he ever got around to cleaning up his act. Well needless to say Jack took Mikoto up on his offer and has been part of Homra ever since. It is thanks to Homra that Jack has had some luck in his life and to this day he is a loyal member even if he is just an underling. 



Abilities: Jack has all the abilities of a middle ranked red clan member, so watch out because he won't hesitate to show you how hot his fire burns. If you missed it earlier in the app, Jack is nearsighted with a lovely mixture of being partly deaf making battle a pain in the ass. Naturally, because of his handicaps he is a close range fighter. He doesn't really have a weapon of choice, he will just pick up anything in arms reach and slug you with it. Then again he is pretty good at fist fights, so maybe he will just slug you with his fists instead.

Trivia: 

• Jack is a total hot head, he acts first and thinks later
  
• Jack knows three languages: English, Japanese, and sign language
  
• Going with the above point, there are times when he gets all jumbled up or carried away with a conversation and jumps between two or even all three languages
• His hearing is really crappy and he HATES whispering so be respectful and speak up, he's not a damn mind reader
  
• Because he is partly deaf he often slurs his words when in loud, crowded places. For your own sake don't be an asshole, just roll with it
  
• Jack was born February 14th 1987
