Profile for Jack Van Burace
Name: Jack Van Burace
Alias: Garrett Stampede
Age: 27
Hometown: Arctica
Guardian Lord he summons: Justine, Guardian of Courage
What the manual says: "In his search for the 'Absolute Power,' Jack has spent almost his entire life exploring and excavating ancient ruins. Jack's constant companion, a sprite-like rat named Hanpan, has helped Jack in his numerous excursions into the unknown. Aside from his friend, Jack has also come to rely on the 'Fast Draw,' an ancient sword technique similar to the gunslinger's quick draw. Behind his sarcastic facade lies a mysterious past. Jack was last seen exploring the ruins of the Temple of Memory."
What I say: Jack's a fun guy, but he's deeper than he appears to be. After all the darling went through in Arctica a long time past (he was the only survivor of the assualt on Arctica Castle. He lost his friends and the love of his life there...), he well should be a liitle disturbed. And after finding out what the demons did to a certain someone (Alhazad turned Elmina, the love of his life, into the demon warrior Lady Harken), he has a right to be pissed off as well. He seems to be able to keep secrets well; after all, he kept a lot about his past for Rudy and Cecilia for quite a while. I wonder if his little Wind Mouse companion Hanpan knows about his past...
Quotes of his I like:
"Damn! That was cool!" (In the Temple of Memory)
"You're not going anywhere. Stay here, with me." (If you talk to Jack as Rudy in Tripillar...)
"I'll kick as many butts as I have to to get out of here!" (At Epitaph of the Sea WInd)
"If we don't support him in times like this, who will?" (About Rudy, after the "incident"...)
Notes: Watch out for his Fast Draw!
Notes on Hanpan: Hanpan is a Wind Mouse/Rat (the distinction is not made clear). He's obviously pretty fast and has the ability to fly short distances, seeing as he can move over pits and run significantly faster than the others. He's really quite smart, but he's also quite arrogant. His age and origin is unknown, altough common ideas are that he's around a couple hundred years old and he's either (a) part of a dying species on Filgaia or (b) from Hiades. That's about all that is known about the little guy. Any more information is welcomed.
