Jack grew up in a middle-class family on the planet Corellia. His parents were respectable trade guild representatives, and he was expected to follow a similar, stable career path. However, from a young age, Jack felt a powerful, unexplainable pull toward the unknown. While his peers were learning business protocols, he was devouring ancient star charts and whispered tales of forgotten civilizations and the mythic Jedi Knights. This obsession with a bygone era, and his feeling that there was "more" to the galaxy than just commerce and politics, led him to reject his family's plans for him.

He left Corellia to become a Fringer, taking on small survey and exploratory jobs in the Outer Rim. His parents, disappointed but not entirely estranged, still send him the occasional message, urging him to reconsider his life choices. During his travels, Jack crossed paths with a charismatic and daring smuggler named Pash. Pash, while a criminal, had a surprisingly deep knowledge of the Outer Rim's hidden routes and dangers. The two formed a partnership of sorts; Jack would provide intelligence on uncharted territories, and Pash would help him get to the more remote locations, often as a co-pilot or extra hand. It was Pash who first mentioned a strange, powerful energy field he had once sensed during a smuggling run—a sensation that resonated deeply with Jack's own nascent feelings about the Force. This shared secret, and their unlikely friendship, became the foundation of Jack's current quest.

Jack's primary motivation is to find and understand the Force. He is not driven by a desire for power or glory, but by an insatiable curiosity and a deep, intrinsic feeling that he is meant for something more than a mundane life. He believes the Jedi and the Sith were not just myths, but people who understood a fundamental truth about the universe. His ultimate goal is to find a lightsaber and learn to use it, seeing it as the ultimate symbol of the power and discipline he seeks. This quest is not about becoming a hero; it's about fulfilling a personal destiny he can't ignore. He sees the Force not as a weapon, but as a path to a deeper understanding of the galaxy and his place within it. His journey is a deeply personal one, a rejection of his comfortable past in favor of an unknown future defined by a feeling he can’t explain.

Duty (Pash) - 10

Jack feels a strong obligation to help Pash, the smuggler who was recently captured by a Hutt. Pash isn't just a business partner; he's a friend who helped Jack get closer to his dreams. Jack is now burdened with a significant "debt" to Pash, not in credits, but in the obligation to free him from the Hutt's clutches. This task is both a moral imperative and a logistical nightmare, pulling Jack away from his primary quest and into the dangerous world of organized crime. He knows that Pash's freedom is likely tied to a steep price or a dangerous mission, and he won't be able to truly focus on his own goals until this obligation is fulfilled.

Duty (Family Expectation) - 5

Jack carries a low-level, but constant, obligation to his family on Corellia. While he has left their world behind, he still feels the weight of their expectations. They continue to believe he will eventually give up his "delusions" and return to a respectable life. This obligation, though not immediate, creates a passive pressure. He occasionally worries about bringing shame to his family name and struggles with the internal conflict of wanting to prove them wrong while also not wanting to cut ties completely.

Jack Packer is a young man in his mid-twenties, with an average build and a persistent, slightly disheveled appearance. His brown hair is often pushed back from his forehead, and his eyes, a clear hazel, hold a mixture of determination and an almost boyish wonder. He wears practical, well-worn clothes suitable for a variety of planetary climates, often with a sturdy jacket and cargo pants. A satchel slung over his shoulder is filled with survey tools, a datapad, and various trinkets he's collected from his travels—evidence of his fascination with the galaxy's hidden corners. He carries himself with a quiet confidence that belies his lack of formal combat training, relying more on his wits and a knack for getting out of tight spots.
