Personal Information

Appearance

Mask: A tall, skinny, pale-skinned man with cold grey-blue eyes and silver-white hair. Estimated Age: 26.

Mien: A tall and skinny sculpture made out of ice and snow.

Mantle: Jack's mantle is more of a slight vibe of happiness; a night snuggled up with a lover by the fire-place, a date going exceedingly well, or the first bite of pancakes with maple syrup and an ice-cream scoop on the cheat day for your diet.

Clothing: A wedding band worn on the left-hand ring finger. A white longsleeve undershirt, a black over-shirt, black pants or grey-camo pants, a blue flannel tied around hip height, and a home-knit scarf reminiscant of that worn by Tom Baker's Doctor.

Personality

Jack keeps quiet most of the time and if he does talk it's always cocky, but once you get to know him you'll see him as one who is willing to help any member of the Freehold at any cost.

Of late he has developed a bit of a Romantic streak.

Mortal World

Between the years of 1988 and 1994 a handsome young man named John Matthews was the talk of Brisbane as the host of a Educational Children's Television program which was broadcast across Queensland. Upon the mysterious disappearance of John Matthews on June 4th of '94 the show slowly lost traction and viewership until it's eventual cancellation early in the following year.

Today a man named Jack Frost is just another face in the crowd. A similar-looking man called Jack Wolff is often-times seen at the Emerald Pearl Boxing Gym.

Timeline

  • 10 March, 1970 - Born
  • 1976 - started primary school.
  • 1983 - started High School.
  • 1987 - finished high school with average grades in all but Media and Drama, for which he recieved A- and A+, respectively.
  • 23 February, 1988 - Became the host of a children's television program (something akin to playschool).
  • 4 June, 1994 - Taken - After a long day at the studio and a long night of drinks with co-workers in the city Jack missed the last service trains and buses. Having spent most of his money on drinks and given his last $20 to a co-worker (who's child's babysitter had a family crises they needed attend to) to catch a cab home, Jack slowly walked home; unbeknowingly watched and followed by someone in the shadows. Mere streets from home Jack was jumped and knocked out by the shadowy figure.
  • Arcadia - Jack remembers performing endlessly on stage for creatures of cold and ice who never showed any enjoyment of his accomplishments on-stage. Jack himself grew cold from this and thus became the man of snow and Ice seen before you.
  • 1 September, 2013 - Escaped, tortured by the the Corruptibles, and then taken in and mentored by Erebus of the House of Janus.
  • 1 January, 2014 - Joined the House of Janus.
  • May, 2014 - Causes an incident involving Arca while attempting go join Winter during a visit to the Freehold of Towoomba.
  • 1 June, 2014 - Silvio Spectre is elected Regent of the Brisbane freehold. Jack sees Silvio's policies as nothing more than an excuse for the Corruptibles to get their jollies while torturing people. Although not exactly on friendly terms with Arca he suspects his disappearance coincides with the Corruptibles' re-vetting policy.
  • 5 June, 2014 - Joined Spring Court, and somehow ended up married to Mother Lupa.
  • 31 August, 2014 - Spent most of the night glaring at some Werewolf who was getting awfully familiar with Hayley Le Quin. Upon change-over to the Spring shindig Jack sung a few songs used in the Guardians of The Galaxy soundtrack with everyone else, afterwards he spent most of his time sitting alone, drinking, and muttering sadly to himself.
  • 4 October, 2014 - Murdered by the Corruptibles and Adam Winnick. Jack Frost could no longer stand the evils being committed by his killers and denounced (condemned as evil) the "Free Hold" of Brisbane, as well as renouncing the Spring Court and the House of Janus for their consent of the Corruptibles' actions, this was apparently enough to earn him a death sentence. His last words "Goodbye Hayley, I love you" were cut short during his execution; he never made it past "I".

Motley-mate Thoughts

  • Erebus - "I would consider Erebus the closest thing I have to a friend, although I suspect I'm being used as his personal spy."
  • Mother Lupa - "Welcome to the blissfully married life Jack!... What the fuck did I do to impress her? I'm not exactly happy about being married, but at least we both decided having a very open marriage would be best for both of us."
  • Sebastian Lund - "This man is fucking terrifying."
  • Doctor Channing - "Not a real Doctor, and any credentials he may or may not have are illegit. Otherwise a good bloke, and a riot at parties."

Motley Opinions

  • The Corruptibles - "The next logical step for these bastards is for them to to open their very own Guantanamo, 'We got everything here; including human-rights violations, and wrongful detainment!' These bastards should be shut down."
  • Rangers - "They're actually keeping us protected from outside threats. Godspeed."
  • The Certain Hour - "I haven't had need for their services yet, but Hayley and Adam are good folks..."

Rumours

  • Jack, despite what he says, isn't homeless. He lives at Tranquility Appartments with most of the rest of his motley, and the only reason he hangs out on the street is because he's spending all of his money from his job making sure the homeless are clothed and fed.

Inspirations and Soundtrack

The War Doctor, Doctor Who.
"...But I don't know if you know, who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin
I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies..."
"...The hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows, it's no stranger to you or me..."
Stranger to love and affection
On the run
In search of shelter in the solitude of sin
A drifter in the dark
A soldier of the pain
A constant slave under the belt of misery
Oh joyful childhood
You died so young
Every child follows blind
On the journey we call life
Learn it every day
Given love or given name
Determines everybody's fate in life
Be careful what you give
