[Name;] Doctor Jack Edward Lancet

[Gender;] Male

[Age;] Forty-four.

[Height;] Six foot three. Yep.

[Occupation/status;] Physician, minor injuries surgeon, dispenser, professor of Medical Genetics at Bristol University (though he's never there), general practicioner and doctor for the experiments. Head of Welfare.

[Personality;] Rather worn, thanks to the excessive amount of things that have happened to him over the years. He tries to remain calm, and does quite well most of the time, but finds he will often blow out on people he quite likes. Like Rook, or Carmella, for instance.
The loss of his wife and eldest daughter still cause him a great deal of grief, Especially Emily as that was not so long ago.
He is rather often stressed because of Carmella and the problems she gets into, in the lab and out of the lab, because she's so unbelieveably scatty. It's getting easier, mind you.
He became a doctor to help people, and that is what he persists in doing. He avoids the injection room if he can help it, and prefers to stick to his office and his own little medical bay. He is, as you would expect from a doctor, incredibly intense when it comes to his job. He can't afford to miss anything. He is very light-fingered, careful and kind... when he's not in any way annoyed by anything.

[Build;] Formerly well-toned, but having let go a little bit. He's getting older, after all, and he'd rather not look like a body-builder in his latter years. The slightly chubby yet still rather trim look is good enough for him.

[Appearance;] Good, for his age. Then again he and Hannah had children young, so it was all good... well... maybe. He has dark brown, sort of chestnut-coloured hair flecked with grey here and there, but it's not particularly noticeable unless you really look. He has blueish green eyes, slightly more green than blue, a little tired around the eyelids. He has rather pale skin.

[History/past;] Born in Bristol into a rather priveledged family, Jack Wood was sent to a private school, to get the finest education money could buy. He tore through public school with the very best of grades, until he was expelled in his final year for having a girl in his room. Hannah Oliver.
He was moved to a state school, where it really didn't matter if he carried on seeing Hannah as it was now his own time he was wasting if anything. He finished his A-levels, and got in to study medicine at Bristol uni.
It was while studying that he and Hannah had their first child, Emily. Hannah had moved out of her mother's house, and was working for the local council while studying politics at UWE part time, and having a child knocked her back. It rather annoyed her that Jack was rather loathed to help, and far more interested in moving up the academic ladder, and so he did. He became a doctor with a separate PhD at 25, and was keen to get stuck into a new career, as the teachers at Bristol were eager to see him work for them.
But a second child put paid to that. He was married to Hannah during her second pregnancy, and finally put his career on ice to help her. After all, his family had enough money to support her. That was until he was offered a job where all he would need to do was think.
USASI inserted an AI chip into his brain. They said if he could use his thoughts only they could read his mind, and he would be able to stay at home and care for his children. But this was a lie. They wanted to control him. The USASI knew what sort of politics that Hannah Oliver was involved in, and that she was fighting to bring them down. The nearest thing they had to her, that they could control, was Jack. They used the AI chip in his brain to control him, and used his body to shoot her. A crack team of USASI scientists took his children, and used bullying and threats to stop him leaving the company.
He was a destroyed man. And still is, in many ways. Life has never been that easy around here. Seeing his daughters grow up, becoming a grandfather, everything means something.
Even having someone there by his side now is a comfort.

[Other;] Engaged to Carmella Bravanucci.

[Sexual Orientation;] Straight.
