Description

Update: I added the Almire family symbol to Jack's cowl or whatever it is called.

Here is a rework of my character Jack Almire. He is part of a family of knights and they serve the Kingdom of Abreteur which is located in the Abreteur Desert.

        Jack is a fairly good person and he always gets work done, so he tends to work constantly. He usually does work alone and due to that he tends to keep away from people because he doesn't talk much. Jack isn't that comfortable around people but the biggest thing that plays into that is his past.

    When Jack was eight years old, he and his cousins were playing outside late one night when warning bells went off. At that time, demons invaded the Kingdom's outer city, where Jack and his cousins happen to be playing. The demons moved quickly, knocking down buildings, burning farms, and attacking anyone or anything that moved. Jack froze while the others ran back towards the Falgar's castle walls. Finally realizing what was going on, Jack started to run as well, but was stopped by a demon. Jack fell down and attempted to crawl away, but the demon grabbed his legs, which made Jack scream as he tried to free himself. Right then, someone shouted at the demon, which made it pause and look at the caller, who then tackled it, sending it tumbling into a nearby building. The caller helped Jack up, who Jack recognized right away. He was Jack's father, Jason. Jason was fully equipped to fight the demons and seemed that he had already cleared a few of them as he told Jack to run home as fast as he could. As Jack ran home, he ran past many knights and soldiers who fought off the demons, many of who are part of his family. He continued to run until he was caught on something and tripped. He tried to free his foot that was caught in some sort of snag but Jack just couldn't free it. That was when someone came running to him. This time it was Karin, Jack's cousin who he was just playing with. Karin helped Jack free his foot. After Jack was free, he stood up and dusted himself off. He then took Karin's hand and was about to run when he felt Karin drop. Jack turned to see that Karin was attacked to a demon which was standing over the now lifeless Karin. Jack dropped to his knees and got closer to Karin, trying to get her up. As he tried and tried, the demon grew closer and closer to him as he continued to cry, fighting to keep Karin awake. The demon raised his claws and was going to attack Jack but someone stepped in the way. It was Jason. Jason had stopped the attack from reaching Jack but in the process, he was cut down, through armor and all. Before falling, Jason cut down the demon and kicked it away. He then turned to Jack, fallen to his knees, telling Jack to run. Jack said he didn't want to leave either of them there but his father told him that it was too late for him and Karin, as they have lost to much blood. Jack still didn't want to go but his father finally persuaded Jack to go, telling him that they just need to rest for a little bit. Full of tears, Jack got up and ran the rest of the way to the walls, where the soldiers led him inside with the others who had made it to the walls. Jack turned to see as the fire that the demons have started has engulfed the entire city and he looked to where his father was, who was now laying face down on the ground, also burn up into flames. Jack screamed and shouted, as he wanted to help his father and cousin who lay there, now about to be turned into ash. Now early in the morning, the demons were fought off, the few fires that were still burning, was put out, any survivors found were rescued, and anyone who didn't make it were carried off for a burial. Jack was in shock because not only did his father and his cousin die right in front of him, but most of his family had died in that demon attack. Jack only has his Mother and his cousin Smith now. He then began to blame himself for his fathers and Karin's death. "If only I was stronger," Jack kept telling himself. Jack's mother continued to tell him that it wasn't his fault but Jack tells here that if he hadn't got snagged on something, he would have never of needed help, which means that they could be alive right now.

    Since then, Jack has decided to work hard to become a knight, so he can be strong enough to fight for himself and do things on his own, that way he won’t have to put anyone in trouble if he ever fails. Jack did work with his cousin Smith every once and a while, who was also determined to become a knight. The difference between the two is that Smith is more open, talks more, has a friendlier, positive attitude, and oddly gets Jack talking more than anyone else. Jack and Smith are cousins but they look like twins, so that may be why Jack talks to him more or because Karin was Smith's sister and Jack feels that he should be open to Smith about things.

    During a reconnaissance mission with Smith, Jack had spotted a purplish cloud form in the sky. He got closer and used binoculars to see exactly what it was. As he did so, he seen a person fall out of it. Jack dropped his stuff onto Smith and told him to get the carriage and follow behind him. Jack ran as fast as he could because he knows from that height, hitting the ground would cause a lot of damage to the body, possibly even death. As he closed in, he positioned himself under the person and caught them. As he dropped a little from catching, he realized that this person was a she, who had really long hair, which some laid over his head has he held her. Jack looked at her face and asked if she was okay. She opened her eyes and Jack was taken aback. He had never seen such beautiful green eyes but quickly nodded that off as he continued to worry. The woman started to tear up and hugged Jack while still in his arms. She said thank you very softly and then passed out. As Jack continued to hold her, Smith rode up with the carriage and dropped down to help. "Whoa! What is with the babe?" Smith said to Jack as he approached. Jack told Smith to shut up and move some things in the back of the carriage so they can lay her back there to keep her out of the heat. Once Jack and Smith made it back to Falgar, they finished their mission report, and then headed to Jack's place. Jack carried the girl to the guest room at the House of Almire, the manor his family has lived in for the past century. Jack took care of the girl until she woke up and then he helped her up and gave her water. It wasn't until now that he realized that she was really a beautiful woman who happened to also be well endowed. Jack asked for her name and she said Sarah, with a smile and oddly began to blush....

.... Jack and Sarah have now begun to travel together. Jack told Sarah to leave her alone and go back home but Sarah insisted to help him with his jobs. Because of this, Jack decided to take less violent jobs so Sarah wouldn't be put into danger, only to find out those jobs were heavier than he thought. Smith also went with them sometimes and he always tries to smooth talk Sarah but always fails, because she has too much of interest in Jack. Sometimes Sarah will humor Smith though, just not to put him down. As time passed, Jack realized that he may have feelings for Sarah. They have been through a lot. He learned of her fears, he has told her his past, he has been in a few awkward situations with Sarah, like accidentally knocking her over only to have fallen on her with both hands on her boobs or walking in on her right after taking a bath, and he has actually started to feel like living his future, rather than dwelling on the past...

...Jack found out that the men who took Sarah was not a part of the government and were actually part of an organization who were experimenting on people that they have taken from all over the world. Enraged, Jack went to Smith and told him to get ready for battle. Jack also went to the witch, Magnus, who helped him with a poison epidemic one time before and asked her for some healing potions. Magnus told Jack she wouldn't until she knows why he needs all of those potions. He told her and Magnus said she wants to help. Jack said no but she persuaded that she would be helpful and Jack finally agreed. With Smith and Magnus, Jack invaded the organization and they stayed within the shadows as they searched the place up and down. They eventually found a secret passage that lead downward towards what looked like a grand hall with a bunch of guards and many doors. Jack could hear many cries and came to realization that one of those cries was Sarah. Not being able to just sit there and listen to her cries, Jack abandoned the stealth approach and alerted the guards. At this point, Smith and Magnus decided to follow Jack and fought the guards as well. Magnus came to a realization that these soldiers were actually magical golems which are actually pretty tough but can be defeated by either destroying or crossing out their magical etching on their forehead. Jack decided to go all out after hearing that, as he started to smash the golems left and right with his sword. After clearing out most of the golems, Jack listened until he could hear Sarah's cries again, which he heard coming from the room next to the one he was going to check. He went over to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. He then called Smith to help him quickly. Smith came over quickly and helped Jack knock the door down and went back to helping Magnus fight off the golems. Jack was about to enter the room when he was stopped by a golem that arose from the ground and slashed his face. Jack destroyed the golem and then covered the right side of his face that was attacked with his hand, while entering the room. There he saw Sarah, now with short hair, chained to the room's floor and laying on a pile of straw covered by a sheet of cloth. Jack moved quickly to her side and freed her from the chains. Sarah jumped as she thought she was going to be carried off again but Jack calmed her down and told her to look at him. Sarah then looked at Jack and started to cry. She grabbed his hand that was covering his face, pulled it to her chest, while taking her other hand and used her healing magic on the gash on Jack's face. The cut healed quickly, leaving only a scar over Jack's right eye. Sarah then lost her strength but told Jack she is fine. Jack helped Sarah onto her feet, only to find that she can't stand easily right now. He then threw her arm over his shoulder as he supported her. After steadying himself and Sarah, he pulled his sword out ready to fight but as they stepped out of the room, Magnus and Smith were both waiting for them as they had cleared out the area. Smith told Jack that they need to get out of there before anyone or anything else shows up. Jack asked of the other rooms and was told that there were only 2 other people who had just left to find their way out. Jack, Smith, and Magnus all helped Sarah as they snuck back out of the place she was locked up in.

    Over time, Jack realized that they must have altered Sarah or hypnotized her into doing deeds for the organization that they rescued her from. He noticed that she was a lot quieter, had less regard how she was dressed, attacked people more viciously, often beating them half to death, and had very dark thoughts, which she often shared. Jack even hit Sarah once because she came very close to killing someone with a big smile on her face. When he did that, he looked Sarah in the face and he was pretty sure he saw the old Sarah come back as she teared up and her eyes seemed to glow with life again. Jack then put his hand on her face where he hit her before he pulled her in for a hug, stroking her hair, as she put dug her face into his shoulder. Sarah apologized and Jack continued to hold her, telling her that everything will be okay. Sarah hadn't returned back to her old self as she was still brutal but she has pulled back on trying to kill people since that moment with Jack. During nights when they were travelling, Jack noticed that Sarah was herself when she was sleeping. He always heard her crying and saying stuff like "What have I done?" or "What's wrong with me?" in her sleep. Sometimes she would be herself even when she just wakes up but within a few hours, her dark persona would take over.

...After searching for so long, Jack had finally found a lead on the boss of the organization that had kidnapped Sarah and heard that they were actually using a forbidden magic that turned humans into dark minded killing machines that listen to whatever the caster requests. Jack, Sarah, Smith, Magnus, and Agnus, Magnus' sister, found their way into the boss's head lab where they do their experiments. It was only then that they realized it was a false lead, but it was too late to leave as they were ambushed by golems and soldiers. Everyone fought their best, destroying the golems, and fighting of the soldiers, trying not to kill anyone. Eventually the enemies started to diminish and they started to let up a little bit as they were winning. This proved to be a bad idea, as they finished off the rest of the golems, a soldier that pretended to out cold, got up and rushed Jack. Jack turned and as he turned the soldier stabbed Jack in the abdomen with a large dagger, which went in all of the way up to the crossguard of the dagger. As this happened, Sarah seen it and grew enraged. Sarah used her magic and blew the soldier into the wall with such force that he created a crater in it. She then rushed to Jack's side who had laid himself on the ground. Sarah was full of tears, telling Jack to stay awake as she kneeled by his side. Jack started to lose consciousness, and Sarah started to freak out. Before he fainted, Jack told Sarah that she needs to calm down and that he will be fine. Jack then fainted right after that, which then Sarah seemed to wake up, like her old self, realizing that she can save him, if she moves fast.

    Jack felt heavy. He then heard a familiar voice call to him. Jack turned and seen his father, Jason. It was odd. Jack was sure that his father was dead, but if he is seeing him, then that can only mean that he is dead too. Jason then pointed Jack into a direction of blank white nothingness. As his vision steadied, he saw Karin, his cousin. Karin walked toward him, and as she did, she slowly got bigger until she looked like his age and then grabbed his hand. She then smiled and said hello. Jack was very well confused. Karin was dead too but he has never seen her older than when she died. Karin told Jack that he should come with her and his father. She said that this place was nice, there is never any fear and he no longer has to worry about anyone or anything. Jack has always had the thought in the back of his head that if he were ever to receive a fatal blow, he wouldn't fight it and just accept his death. So he decided to follow Karin. About halfway towards the area where Karin was originally standing, Jack heard a faint cry. He then stopped to listen. The cries got louder and eventually he could make out what was being said. Jack. The cries were for him and he started to recognize the voice. Sarah, it was Sarah who was calling him. Jack just remembered that he was just stabbed in the abdomen and the last thing he remembered was her crying face. Jack then suddenly opened his eyes, only to awake to Sarah now over top him and kissing him. He was going to push her off but instead he wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her back. He even leaned up and pulled her closer, as he continued to kiss Sarah...

    The story above is about Jack, how he met Sarah, and some of their adventures. Some things may change and some are set in stone. Long story short, Jack finds that he shouldn't dwell on the past and that he loves Sarah, who popped in his life out of nowhere but it took a dagger to the abdomen for him to figure all of that out. The bit below is about Jack and Sarah sometime afterwards.

    Jack is actually shy and always felt nervous around Sarah and even after his realization of his love for her; he still was shy around her. He did tell her what he liked about her and how she caught his eye. He told her that it was the day that he caught her from falling. It was her emerald green eyes and her long blonde hair, which he asked her to grow back out, the fact that she is actually very smart, and to be a little bit more on the body appearance, he likes her hips and legs. Sarah asked him about her boobs and Jack said those too but he is more of a leg guy. Sarah laughed and then rubbed her legs up against Jack's legs. Jack coughed and also said that he likes her flirty side as well but he wish she would stop using it to her advantage all of the time, especially when she uses it to get bargains at stores. Sarah asked why but Jack just looked to the side and started to turn red. Sarah then said she would tone it down and then kissed him on the cheek, which only made him turn even redder.

Here is Sarah to see what she looks like:
