Name: O'Connor, Jack
Gender: male
Age: 16
Grade: 10th
Extra Curricular Activity: Baseball team, right field
School: Barry Coleson High

Appearance: 5'3 and posessing a built frame, Jack's blue eyes peer out from wire-rimmed glasses while spiked black (but dyed white) hair covers his head. Muscular but light at the same time, his skin is a very pale shade of white, despite spending as much time in the sun as he does.

Biography: Infamous for his hacking of the school computers and changing everyone's grades to straight A's in the first semester, Jack "Hack" O'Connor was good with computers from an early age. Learning programming from his older brother at 11, it eventually became only a matter of being able to access the internet for him to hack into something, though more advanced computer systems could give him some trouble. He joined the baseball team, like others, out of boredom, though he has demonstrated his usefullness on the field many times. He was nearly always seen with his computer during school, hiding it in his bag when he was in classes or in a similar circumstance. He might be able to be convinced to use his skill to help escape SOTF, though he never did trust the majority of his classmates...

Other: his skill at computers is the basis of his nickname, "Hack".

Number: Boy #80

The above biography is as written by Slayer. No edits or alterations to the author's original work have been made.

Designated Weapon: Riot Shield
Conclusion: Admittedly, if there's one kid who could give us trouble, it's this kid right here. Thankfully, he doesn't have a laptop, but if he were to find one, it could be trouble for the system. Then again, the odds of that happening are astronomical, and in the end he'll just be another dead member of the baseball team.

Kills:

Killed by: Still Alive.

Collected Weapons: Riot Shield (designated weapon, discarded), Enfield No. 2 Mk 1 (from Guilame "Gilbert" Archambault), switchblade (from Sidney Crosby).

Allies: Sidney Crosby, Hannah Juett, Jill Gatling, Martyn Ferdinand and Michael Suarez. Presumably would've allied with other baseball players if given the chance.

Enemies: Technically Jason Andrews, Adam Dodd breifly, Lucinda Garnett and Angelina Kaige. One could say Danya is also his enemy, but that's up to speculation.

Mid-Game Evaluation:

Post-Game Evaluation:

Memorable Quotes: "Don't beg. I hate when people beg."-To Hannah Juett when she asked him not to shoot her.
"Get up or I'll fucking shoot you. You pick anything up, I fucking shoot you, you blink at me the wrong way...well, you get the idea, just get out!"-To Sidney Crosby when finding out he killed Chance Burton.
More to come...

Other/Trivia

Was originally named "John Connor", after the main character in the Terminator movies.

Jack O'Connor is the name of a real student at Slayer's school (he did not know this until recently.), though they most likely have nothing alike but name.

He knows the lyrics of "In the City" by heart, along with "The Last of an Ancient Breed".


He is also an avid reader of The Art of War, and quotes it whenever he is stressed out in an attempt to calm down and think over the situation.

There is a reference to "A Clockwork Orange" in Jack's first meeting with Hannah Juett (where he says "So what's it going to be then, eh?" after basically telling her to drop her gun and leave, give him the gun and negotiate, or die).

Jack is essentially the first of Slayer's characters to be truly morally ambiguous. David Jackson and Jacob Starr came close, but looking close one could clearly tell they were good or evil respectively. One cannot really tell whether Jack is a genius or a psychopath, a hero or a villain.

Of all the "final ten" (now "final seven"), Jack is the only one to have not received any wounds over the game's course.
