Jacks clothing slightly resemble that of a cowboy which would be a pair of brown shoes with spurs and a brown cowboy hat which he would rarely wear. Addition to the cowboy theme, jack weilds three gun belts, each belt carrying pouches of bullets and holsters for two guns each. The gun belts are worn over jacks clothing, three belts are worn around the waist, one is securly buckled were as the other 2 either flop down on opposite sides. The rest of his attire would consist of a white vest top and the standard dark blue navy trousers. He doesnt really much abide by the standard uniform and on observation he would simply look like a standard civilian, well a cowboyish civilian anyway.
History: must be detailed
Richochet Jack, Marine, Marksman, born in the south blue and son of the great Mr. Rodney and Mrs Alicia Adamuska, who own a small greengrocers that sell foods and vegtables to its local residents. It can be hard to fathom how a local greengrocer boy grows up, fights crime, creates a martial art and seeks to make the world a beter place. All that, and with some some time to spare, to try and put together a rock band. Which the only musical instrument he can play is a harmonica, to bad hes not very good at it. Jacky, as his mum use to call him, grew up and work around the shop helping his folks, finishing his chores so he could go out and play with his friends after and got a clip around the ear for everytime he took sweets from the shop without paying for them and his dad chased him around the place with a piece of wood. So this could have been the start of jacks good nature, being dead scared of doing something bad that hes afraid his dad would come backand chase him around with a piece of wood.
Growing up like his old man, working in the greengrocerys and supplying the locals with various grocerys at a good price and keen service. He would be behind that desk this very day if he hadnt have a feirce competitive attitude with neighbour, leo, same age as jack. Jack and Leo fought on everything, they were utter enemies but equaly, best friends. Although they fought one another all the time, couldnt agree on anything, the rivaled each other on evey level. It was something rather quite unatural, they were at odds about everything but in a way, exactly alike. A friendship balanced on fierce a competative will.
But that fragile balance of friendship was tipping when 14 year old jack who's best friend leo, inrolled into his uncles dojo. The way of the sword, teaches disipline, honour, pride, self defence and a whole new way for leo to rub it in jack's face and wave a fancy sword about it! Jack wasnt going to have it, so he inrolled into the dojo as well and was going to become a swordsman like leo and be able to stand equal to leo once again. However we all cant get what we wanted...
Leo was good, REAL GOOD it was his calling in life, mabe one thing that Jack couldnt hope to beat. Jack's skill with the sword can be at best be called 'ok' without hurting the boys feelings. Things didnt help either with the other students making fun of him not being that good, getting beating ALOT in duels and also some cruel treatment from the swordsmaster who intently picked on Jack because he didnt think of him muc and only being greengrocers son. over years, there have been tests, horribly failed tests, leo passed but jack failed, leo passed but jack failed, time and time again. Knowing his worth compared to leo, he felt uterrly rundown and really depressed. Jack broke. Jack got fedup with the abuse he recived from the swordsmaster and stood up to him, challengeing the swordmaster.
oOOOOooeeee his butt was wooped, unfortunatly it was jack's. It finaly stoped when his arch nemises stepped in, stopped the fight. Leo begged the swordsmaster to forgive Jack, out of pity, Jack was forgiven. Leo's pity, jack left the dojo. Leo's pity jack the the home. Shamed, angry and utterly dissapointed by himself that once his greatest rival, looked down at jack, looking at something beneth him, nothing worth but his generous pity. It utterly furiated jack that he sought to overcome leo, overcome the dojo, overcome the way of the sword.
He wasnt going to rest until he had leo groveling at his knees, appologiseing and asking for forgiveness while Jack standing looking down at him and the rest, the dojo, the swordsmaster, the LOT of them! Jack Adamuska was going to beat the sword.
Personality:
Nicknamed Richochet Jack, earning a reputable reputation of service, rewarded medals of skill and bravery and to his fellow friends and people who know Jack regard him Greatly.....an idiot.
Jack is a peace loving, hot sauce fanatic, gunslinging Marine. He sails with the navy and tries to bring peace to where there is chaos.
His good nature is unparalleled but credulous. He hates conflicts. A soft-hearted guy who is a pacifist and who has never killed a soul. Being raised up, his mother who instills upon Jack the philosophy that every being deserves life, and Jack takes it to the extreme by always attempting to save everyone. Jack never kills! He would use means of non leathal attacks to stop his oppenets but would never result to deadly force. Because Jack refuses to kill anybody, he often suffers at the hands of a number of enemies. As a result, his body suffers his belives of large scars, bruises and stitch marks.
Although he is usually seen as a laid-back slacker, jovial idiot with an obsession of hot sauce on everything he eats. However, Jack can also shows a deceptively-different, cunning, and serious side of his personality when the situation demands for it, when those around him are threatened, Jack shows complete focus and control. Despite his care-free attitude, he always speaks politely unless someone tricks of cheat him.
He is caring, good hearted and his inshakable in his task for justice. However, he is not naive and understands most situations more than he shows. Justice, jack knows thats theres more to the coin than head or tails, right or wrong and tasks the navy or unsuitble for and it is in theses times that he relies upon his own intuition in what he believes is the right thing to do even if it results in heavy consequences upon himself so long as his action or just and right, doing what he feels even if it leads to retaliation by a powerful force.
Embarrassingly Jack is incapable of holding his drink, collapsing even from a sip of the stuff. He is rather fond of music and plays the harmonica and has a small dream of creating a band but his true goal is justice. ( really cheesy goal but i couldnt think of anything else that would fit lol )

Special Abilities: A master of trick shots, a formidable gunfighter who was often referred to as a "ricochet genius". Jack is a diffrent individual who is able to use weapons such as pistols revolvers and rifles with lethal results. Martial arts are of practices of trainning and disipline to beter oneself either to defend or defeats his or her oppenent, over the years martial arts evolved from bare handed combat to weilding weapons such as swords, spears, ect. Yet martial artists have applied to beter themselves with these weapons too, example; swordsmen, samuris', knights, ect, people who sought to master the sword. Theres a weapon that is said to be changing the way wars would be fought: the Gun.
But without proper training and disipline this can never hope to succeed. 'GUN KATRA' is an martial art which teaches practitioners to attack and defend themselves based on the most statistically-likely positions and attacks of their enemies during a battle, either close combat or distanced. Jack has spent some years of his life practiceing 'Gun Katra' and is one of the original founders of the martial art.
Gun Katra is the style of close-quarters gunplay, it often resembles a martial arts battle played out with firearms instead of traditional weapons. It could compete with swords in a close combat situation wereas one attacks and defends himself either with his weapon melee or with bullets. In a close fight one could deflect the stroke of a sword with either their weapon or deflect it with a bullet. Gun Katra is based upon the premise that, given the positions of the participants in a battle, the trajectories of attacks are statistically predictable. By pure memorization of the positions, study and training one can fire at the most likely location of an enemy without aiming at him in the traditional sense of pointing a gun at a specific target. By the same token, the direction of incomeing attacks are also statistically predictable, so by assuming the appropriate stances, one can keep one's body clear of the most likely way of enemy attacks, deflecting and also allow counter attacks with the users weapons.
The focus of gun katra is style, and the usage of firearms in ways that they were not designed to be used. Its a close combat style thats uses all diffrent kinds of elements like, shooting a gun from each hand, shots from behind the back, as well as the use of guns as melee weapons are all common. Other styles of gun katra might invlove weapons shotguns, automatics, cannons, ect. It is often mixed with hand-to-hand combat maneuvers.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Weapons/Items: Jack's weapons of choice are revolvers, weilding 6 revolvers, but impossible for him to weild them all. He carries 6 revolvers to avoid reloading, although he can reload a gun remarkably fast in combat, he carries the extra revolvers in situations were he can avoid the reolad and instantly equiped a new revolver if the ammunation for the previous gun has ran out.
Goals: All he wants he wants is three wishes. Nothing fancy: to be immortal, to rule the world and have the most beautiful woman in the world to fall madly in love with him. The usual stuff.
But if not, he would settle to makeing the world a better place.
