Jack Langley

From DreyNet

Name: Jack Langley
Player: Ben Rosenblum

Caucasian Male, 24
5’11”

Hair: Dark brown, stylishly tousled
Eyes: Blue

Full brows and lashes, always has two days’ growth of stubble, high cheek bones

Typically, he can be found in a creased plain business suit of a dark color, cut slim, and minus the tie, opting instead for a more relaxed open collar. Little jewelry, though he does sport a nondescript metal-link wristwatch.

Occupation: Unemployed

The Problem: His main problem, then, is that he is entirely disillusioned. He thought of turning to drugs, which he had experimented a bit with when younger, but you needed money for those, and that meant either getting a job or doing something bad.

And so, now, he basks in laziness, not doing much of anything at all. He hardly goes out, except when he needs food, or to get the mail (not that he gets anything besides junk and bills). Television and the internet are his life, now.

He knows he'll have to get some more money eventually (his meager savings won't last forever), but why deal with it until he has to? Besides, he could always move back in with his parents if things got really bad. Nope, no need to do anything at all.

Talents, Assets, Abilities:

  • Investigation
  • Knowledge of the law
  • Decent shot with a gun
  • Good at puzzles
  • Good with dogs
  • Has watched lots and lots of movies
  • A good listener

Has an apartment, laptop computer, cheap car, a few suits, meager savings, and lots of empty pizza boxes.

Relationships: Being unemployed, of course, did not make things better. His father would hardly speak to his embarrassment of a son, and his mother, while encouraging, was worried sick over his condition.

Fiona Nice – Ex-girlfriend.

Lives next door to PC Gene Reichman, but doesn’t really know him. Sees him and Brayden once in a while in the hall.

Online friends with PC Andy Bushner, but has never met in person.

Back Story: Jack is one year out of school with a degree in criminal justice. His dad was a cop, and he himself was aiming to be a detective. Eight months as a police officer, however, disabused him of his dream.

Having always been smart and an independent thinker, Jack became quickly frustrated with the stringent rules, regulations, and bureaucracy imposed on him during his stint on the force. In less than a year, he found himself robbed of the dream he had built up around the profession. The dream he had to build for himself, because it was his father's dream, too.

Jack had breezed through school, but now he was faced with real work, and he couldn't handle it. It would be better when he made detective! He knew it. But still, he couldn't find the motivation to make it through the drudgery of the bottom rungs of the ladder. To make things worse, the tension he was feeling made things degenerate at home, and his girlfriend left him. Shortly after, he quit his job.

Jack did have hopes of starting a private investigation business, but no bank would give him a loan to get started, and besides that, he hardly felt the need to get out of bed before noon, let alone do what was needed to be licensed. You needed initiative to start a business, and Jack had a definite deficit of that.

Fear: Loss of control, and problems with memory.
