✽ I theorize I'm on the rise

✽ Jack Rye
No one bothers to ask where an orphan comes from. War and famine and hunger pull them from thin air, thrusting them out into the cold with a pat on the head. Maybe he had a true name once. Maybe he had a family who loved him. Maybe he had a noble father who took advantage of a serving girl. When all is said and done, it hardly matters. Jack slips in and out of the corners of society, lingering in shadows and drawing little attention. He reveals nothing and asks for less.

✽ Plot Hooks
halonic guilt. Jack is a devout follower of Halone, and spent the last few years trying to navigate life in Ishgard following the end of the Dragonsong war. She doesn't particularly like to discuss her faith, even with like-minded people, but regardless she often finds common ground and comradery with others of similar beliefs.troubled past. While she keeps most of her past close to her chest (including her true name), there are rumors of her past activities. She's been accused of being everything from an assassin to a plant to a run-of-the-mill charlatan. Feel free to make up stories of her exploits. Some of them may even be true.heavy drinker. It's not uncommon to find Jack with a drink in hand, or to already be drunk when she wanders in somewhere. Those who are happy to enable her terrible coping mechanisms will find a friend. She tends to shrug off people who don't.
