As you may have guessed, my name is Captain Jack Harkness, but almost everyone calls me Jack or Captain. I was born a long time ago in the 51st Century, so that makes me just about 150 or so.... Don’t be alarmed, but I am a(n) human fused with energy from the Time Vortex.
ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY
---------------------------
WITH THE PERSON THAT YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR
I was the first person to join the Time Agency. They were so proud, made me their poster boy. “The Face of Boe” they once called me.
I'd have to say I'm not a bad looking guy. Classic Lantern jaw, with medium brown hair that get's blondish highlights in the summer time(when I actually get to see the sun), and bright blue eyes. Fairly light skin tone. No stubble or body hair to speak of. 5 ft 11.75 in (182 cm) tall. Fairly well built. (like to keep in shape). Typically wear a white t-shirt with a button up shirt over top. Sometime wear a waist coat. And of course the military gray trench-coat. Brown slack and hiking boots. And I never leave home without my Vortex Manipulator how they dress and anything else you see fit.
AND SO WE REACH A NEW POINT
---------------------------
IN THE PATH OF LIFE, DEATH AND IMMORTALITY
He's a flirty, fun loving guy that likes to talk and tell tales. Even if some of them aren't entirely true. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and those under his protection and detests the near worship some people have of money. Mostly due to the fact his own search for money nearly destroyed the Human race before he met the Doctor.
Jack is immortal and tries to keep from forming too deep of an attachment to anyone, knowing that he will outlive everyone. Though that hasn't worked out for him. He is in love with Ianto Jones though he has problems discussing his feelings. He was once a Conman but has changed his life, though he still uses some of his old tricks to for the benefit of Torchwood.
He doesn't sleep often, or for very long. His mind is haunted by the past he can't help but remember. The deaths of loved ones, failing people he feels like he should have been able to save. And the past he can no longer truly remember.
He has his secrets and doesn't share them because he wants to keep them, but because he'd rather not burden others with the knowledge.

HOW CAN WE EVER TELL A TALE
---------------------------
IF WE STILL DON'T KNOW ITS BEGINNING AND END
Started off in the Boshane Peninsula as a Time Agent helping to avert disasters and make sure advance technology didn't end up in the wrong hands or wrong times. Worked with a partner; John Hart, for a while. Lost two years of his memory to the Agency which refused to tell him what happened. At that point Jack resigned and ran away to become a Conman. He used his knowledge of the Agency to amass quite a bit of money, stealing useless artifacts from the future and dropping them in the past to get half the money he asked from the Agency and then having the object destroyed before it could be examined. Tried to keep from doing harm but didn't always check his cargo's history.
That's how he met the Doctor in his 9th incarnation. Jack had brought a military ambulance from the future back to World War 2 in hopes of scamming the Agency again but miscalculated and nearly destroyed the human race. Luckily the Doctor managed to salvage the situation and fix things. Afterward Jack traveled with the Doctor and Rose until the Game Station where they were attacked by Daleks. In an effort to buy the Doctor and Rose time he took them on with the help of those on the Station and died.
After Rose absorbed the Time Vortex and destroyed the Daleks she brought Jack back to life, permanently before the Doctor was able to remove it from her. The Doctor then ran away from Jack and how wrong he felt.
Jack then bounced backwards in time to try and meet up with the Doctor again; using his Vortex Manipulator, but miscalculated and his Manipulator burnt out. He was stuck in the 1800's and decided to try and wait for the Doctor there. He was shot in the heart by a man during a dispute and that was the first time he realized he would come back from death.
As time wore on Jack realized he also wasn't aging but by the Torchwood had found out about him and his 'Talent' as they called it. They forced him to work for them until 1999 when the Head of Torchwood 3; Alex, killed himself and left Jack in charge.
Jack then changed the whole of Torchwood 3 and removed all connections to Torchwood London and changed policy in honor of the Doctor, still waiting for him. When he finally got the answer he was looking for it shocked him to discover he was a Fixed Point in Time, but he has come to grips with it. Even if he doesn’t really like the answer. He then returned to Torchwood and Ianto.

THERE IS ALWAYS A PUPPETEER
---------------------------
CONTROLLING EVEN THE STRANGEST OF THE PUPPETS[/center][/color]
Hello! My name is Chimera Dragon, and I have been around for nearly 27years. Roleplaying's not my only hobby, I'm also super talented at writing (fanfiction and originals), cosplay, gaming, and cooking.. Want to get in touch? You can contact me by email on my profile, and IMsand also by PM here at ACROSS TIME AND SPACE. So even if I've only been role playing for 5+ years IRL, online for about 2yrs, I think I’m pretty good! Here's an example:
Jack sat at his desk, drinking the whiskey Ianto had poured earlier as his thoughts raced through his mind. He hadn't been back lone and already he's lost someone. Poor beautiful Estelle had to pay for his inability to see what was coming. Fory trying to keep the girl long after the Fairies had her mind and heart with them. He sighed heavily as he worked on the report. It was a truly mindless task, but one he'd rather not have Ianto finish. It was his fault and his job to do the report about it. Not that the beautiful Welshman wouldn't see it when he Archived it later, but it was better this way. He wouldn't need to put thought into Archiving it. Jack knew about his lover's habit of going behind his back and finishing some of his paperwork when he fell behind. He smiled at the thought. It was never going to get him to want to do paperwork, but the one time Ianto had hid under his desk and 'encouraged' him it had.
He looked out the door towards the quite HUB. The sound of water falling down from the fountain above and into the small moat they had under their work stations was rather soothing. And he just watched the water fall for a few minutes, his pen still and his mind miles away as he lost himself.
The sound of an alert on his phone brought him back to the present. He pulled it out and looked.
A text from Ianto.
[FINISH YOUR REPORT AND COME TO MY FLAT.]
Jack smiled to himself. He couldn't see the expression but he could tell what the other man meant. It wasn't always about the sex with them. He needed the companionship Ianto provided. Maybe that was why the Doctor always traveled with a Companion. Why he always seemed to have someone along for the ride. Once you've lived for a long as Jack had you tended to get a little jaded against the world. Ianto help him stay Human. Stay sane.
Gwen was supposed to have done that, but all she seemed interested in doing was getting together with Jack.
Jack shook his head yet again and got back to work on the report. Thoughts of Gwen seemed to have done the trick. He was happy with Ianto and really didn't want anyone else. Yes he still flirted but the Welshman had his heart. He knew he'd have to find a way to show it, but how? When they both knew this relationship would end in tears?
The last few lines weren't about to write themselves....
“I think I'll bring him dinner,” Jack murmured quietly to himself as he pulled his phone back out. [HAVE YOU EATEN YET? I THOUGHT I'D BRING SOMETHING TO EAT.] He smiled as he sent the message. Good food from their favorite restaurant and simply curling around each other as they watched movies would do wonders for his soul.
