Friendly and helpful regardless of the task, or his confidence in being able to complete it. He generally places faith in the good nature of everyone, even strangers. Jack lives by the wisdom of treat everyone as you wish to be treated. Many would call him naïve and likely for good reason. A friendly face can probably use his good nature against him, as he tends to give more than he asks. Still, he doesn't just endure slights and he isn't afraid to stand up for himself, or someone else if he believes they need someone to stand up for them. He is a heavy thinker, trying to predict the best way to go forward, he's not terribly impulsive and this can lead to him hesitating in a big moment or spot unsure if his course of action is the right way to go. Jack has a fearless attitude, ready to take on any challenge in front of him, and just as willing to help any friends that might come along with him.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jack Loren Sullivan spent most of his life believing he was the only son of a muggle man named Henry. His mother died in a tragic accident shortly after he was born, and her side of the family was always estranged to Jack. It wasn't such a big deal, his father's side of the family were quite accepting and loving and Jack's needs were always taken care of. They weren't rich or lavish, but they had enough to get by and that was what counted. He encountered bullies in elementary school, and for a time he hid and ran. However when it finally came to his family's attention, his father preached never running or fleeing away because someone was bigger or meaner. That a good man should stand up to something they saw as wrong, and Jack was officially suspended for a week when he broke his bully's nose. From that day forward Jack lived his life on a similar basis. Speaking up, or stepping in between bullies that he saw, he got nick named the "Sir Lancelot," because he was always trying to act like a knight in shinning armor. He didn't let any of that noise get to him.<br/><br/>Like many other muggleborns (as he believed he was at the time), Jack was surprised to discover he had the potential to become a Wizard. It took a lot of convincing his father but after a solid month of back and forth Jack was finally giving leave to attend the London school of magic. Jack absorbed information like a sponge, finding every bit of the wizard community and their differences as fascinating as many found muggle life. He tried to dedicate some focus to his studies, but he was just as busy trying to make friends and simply understand where he fit into this new world. It had seemed just as he had started to understand his place among muggles, a whole new world started and now there were all these new rules and expectations. He didn't shy away form it, but it took adjusting, and it wasn't until the later years in school that Jack really started to show he did indeed have a aptitude for practicing magic. Going form the bottom of his class his first couple years, towards the upper half in his later. He'd never be able to call himself the smartest, but he wasn't afraid to ask for help, and when his peers assisted him he listened close.<br/><br/>Once more just as Jack believed he was starting to get a understanding and grasp of what he should expect and who he was in the world, his arrival at Hogwarts turned his world upside down for a third time. This time, when Jack first had the sorting hat placed on his head, the sorting hat in a casual and mundane fashion mentioned Jack's mother Laura, and how all the Shackelthorns seemed to end up in Gryffindor. It was the very first time in Jack's entire life he had heard that anyone in his family had a gift for magic, and the first time he had heard his mother might be a witch. He'd first grown up not knowing magic existed, and then when he discovered it believed he was muggleborn and spent the next decade believing he was the first in his family to have the gift. Then just like that everything he'd every known was a lie. Jack was the long lost son of a magical family that had either forgotten about him, or preferred he stayed lost.<br/><br/>Of course his first year was a whirlwind as he tried to understand more about his mother's side of the family and where he belonged. He checked through Gryffindor records, and manuscripts, countless hours in the library trying to track down as much information as possible. He'd learn in the following two years at Hogwarts that he was part of a dynasty of Shackelthorns, all of whom had passed through the long corridors of Hogwarts and had emerged wizards. All of them were Gryffindors, and the very last of them had been his mother Laura. Steadily Jack learned that his mother had fought against Voldemort and The Death Eaters in the dark war. Jack found an old article in the daily profit speculating that her accident might have instead been caused by enemies seeking revenge for her actions in the war prior, and by the years end Jack had begun to struggle with the choice to remain estranged from his mother's family. Or to reach out to them. In the end he didn't make any decision and instead spent the summer wrestling with everything that he had learned. In many ways he was proud, his mother was a hero in his eyes and everything he had striven to be. Yet he felt a loss and regret deeper than he had ever felt in his life. As summer ended and he looked to his third year at Hogwarts, Jack was determined if nothing less to represent the Shackelthorns proudly. If he never met them, at least he could forward their legacy and be a wizard his mother would have been proud of.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Traits</strong></span></span></div><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Surfing, Meeting new people, outdoor activities (hiking, swimming, camping, etc.), football, puzzles, singing, guitars, and music.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Bullies, potions (has always struggled with it), snow, embarrassing himself, feeling alone, the end of the weekend, getting drunk<br/><strong>Skills:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Surfing</li><li>Dueling</li><li>Singing</li><li>The Guitar</li></ul><br/><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Potions</li><li>Naively trusting</li><li>Can't keep his head down</li><li>Doesn't know when to quit</li></ul><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Wizarding Information</strong></span></span></div><br/><strong>Role:</strong>Student | Prefect | 3rd year<br/><strong>House:</strong>Gryffindor<br/><strong>Subjects Taught/Taken:</strong>Defense against the dark arts, Charms, Potions (needs it to be an Auror), and arthimancy<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>13 4/7 English Oak Wood | Dragon Heart string | twisted from two branches with a moderate bend<br/><strong>Patronus:</strong>Lion<br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>Doesn't have one.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Exam Grades:</strong></span><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">O.W.L Grades</div><div class="spoiler_body">Transfiguration - A<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts - E<br/>Muggle Studies - O<br/>Astronomy - E<br/>Ancient Runes - A<br/>History of Magic - A<br/>Charms - E<br/>Divination - A<br/>Potions - D<br/>Herbology - A<br/>Care of Magical Creatures - A<br/>Arithmancy - A<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">N.E.W.T Grades</div><div class="spoiler_body">Transfiguration - A<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts - O<br/>Muggle Studies - O<br/>Astronomy - A<br/>Ancient Runes - A<br/>History of Magic - E<br/>Charms - E<br/>Divination - A<br/>Potions - A<br/>Herbology - A<br/>Care of Magical Creatures - A<br/>Arithmancy - E<br/></div></div><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Connections</strong></span></div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Extra</strong></span></div>
