Weaknesses:
While his right hand is fully robotic, he has no feeling in it and will often use it to it's full extent. Sometimes damaging the hand and leaving it unusable from time to time.
While he is able to wield an Energy Sword only by using his right hand, it is still much harder for him to use as he sometimes still struggles with using it properly. This leads to slower movements when the blade is activated and out.
Short Bio:
While others may have called planet earth home, Jack had called a small space station home. Living with a handful of roughly 100 people. His family had been born and raised through the military so places like a space station was all in the normal. The space station had been named "Station 53" and had been running for many years and orbiting around the planet Mars.
Jack always enjoyed the life of the military and had watched Spartans in action twice by the time he had turned Nine. His first occurrence was a documentary on the Tides of war, a small small bit had shown Spartans in combat along with Members from ODST. Instantly from the documentary he had fallen in love with the line of work and hoped to one day become one of the men. With this in mind, as Jack went through the years he joined a UNSC training program and worked his way into the UNMC.
Joining at the bright age of seventeen, Jack found himself working with many different forms of people. Some elites back when the rogue groups had begun attack all the way up to when they became allies. When High Charity erupted into chaos Jack was on the back lines fighting the wars on Duraan which was Under Swords of Sanghelios control at the time. Jack was a long range combatant using the UNMC sniper rifle before he had grown fond of the standard issued Battle Rifle. It was at that point in his career he moved into closer ranged. Becoming a part of the infantry unit.
Two years after joining the Marines, Jack had advanced from Rank Recruit and moved his way into Private. He gained access to his own platoon of five soldiers and through vigorous training the group was placed into the tides of war under a Sergeant. The aftermath of everything he knew had gone to shit. Joining the fight with other soldiers and fighting off the flood in the end. Here, Jack had learned that war wasn't all the fun he had believed it to be. He had lost two of his now seven squad mates to the flood, and three others were killed off during the battle.
A whole other year of training had gone by when he was working with other students as his experience in the field gave him the ability to prep others for the cause of war. During this time, he was approached by one of the Admirals running a war ship. Offering him a job to work under him as an ODST. Excited for the chance to join the ranks of ODST and to be back out in the field, Jack took it without second thought.
Now, with his title of ODST, Jack had gained a full set of ODST armor and ranked up into Corporal. He had been placed with another group of men and was under the command of a man who had gone by the name of Shock Dropper. Known for his infamous drop and release a shock wave of energy from his pod from the way he had modified it.
Two years had gone by and Jack was met with fighting a group of outlawed covenant. on one of Earth's baby planets as they called it. The battle was to protect a facility of new recruits in which the elites and grunts had actively tried to take over. Tho the group who attempted the attack was separate, they were by no means any less of a threat then the rest.
During the battle, Jack had used his skills and knowledge of fighting the covenant over the years to aim for the creatures soft spots and effectively took down three of the elites. The battle had raged on for a long three weeks before lowering down what they had believed to be the end of the battle. That was until the Hunters were dropped and set to face the ODST .
With years and years of training, Jack was faced against the gruesome beast, one known to be the strongest in the covenant forces, the beasts were dropped as a final assault on the training camp. Jack was met with a dead lock battle between his squad and the two creatures. All had seemed to be going well until one of them launched their charged cannon shot in Jack's direction nearly destroying all of his right hand.
When the battle was thought to be over, Jack nearly dead, one of his squad mates were dead while the other three fought the beasts off. Spartans had arrived in groups and saved his squad from immediate death.
Now that the beasts had been defeated by the Spartans, a camouflaged Elite had snuck his way into the base and attacked. Jack had took sight of the feint glow just before the Energy sword was pulled out and struck Shock Dropper. Quick to act, Jack quickly picked up an M6G (Magnum) and fired three rounds into the skull of the Elite. It wasn't enough to kill him but had stunned the Elite just long enough for the Spartan in the room to finish him off.
Jack, had taken a liking to Shock Dropper and even had become his second in command over the years, so his loss was a huge one. Yet he wouldn't let it hold him back. As remembrance, he took his formal leader's helmet and used it as his own. Only to replace the visor with a solid black one rather then the light blue it was originally. The only things he kept from the attack was the blade that pierced the man and the helmet. Through Mechanical Engineering, his right hand was replaced and was modified to wield the Energy sword with profound use. His right hand was stronger then the normal human being which gave him the ability to hold the blade as it should be and to push the buttons to activate the glow. Jack used the Energy Sword as a back up weapon to the Battle Rifle through his challenges in life.
It took Jack a long five years to master the ability of the sword and to use it proficiently, but he worked on it each day of his career that he could. Using the Magnum as a back up weapon until he learned how to use the sword correctly. During this time, Jack had taken over the ODST unit he was in and obtained the status of Corporal Grade 1 while in command. His unit took the name Fire-Team Thunder as a name and would often be brought in during dire needs of the ODST .
While it was a challenge to get used to at first with an artificial hand, Jack had earned the name "Spark" as he would often push his hand to the limit until sparks would come out of it from the electrical unit frying itself and him needing a replacement. Jack would be the first to agree that he was bad at using the robotic hand as he knew he couldn't feel anything in it which drove him to using it to it's extent.
