Introduction
It’s never too late — never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.
Appearance
Notable Features
Jack's body is mostly absent of scars, and his hands are soft enough to betray that he hasn't done a hard day's labor since he was a very young lad. He does have the ghostly impression of a set of teeth on the soft inside of his right thigh, and if one looks closely, they might see the faint marks left by a harsh caning years ago, upon his buttocks and the backs of his calves. The more easily noticed marks are the freckles that lay thickly upon his shoulders, and spread across his skin in a decreasing concentration as they move down his body.Personal Style
Until very recently, Jack was very much a clothes horse; he kept abreast of current styles, and had a large wardrobe to indulge himself with. He's still fond of dressing well, and indeed will never be found looking dowdy or slovenly, but his means have been greatly reduced, and so too has his wardrobe. He keeps himself clean-shaven, is extremely exacting about his hygiene in general, and presents a sharp and handsome figure for anyone who cares to look. Appearances matter greatly to him, and should he be anything but perfectly presentable, one would know that he must be on his death-bed.Jack Payne
Circumstances
Currently
Having been set aside by his former mistress and keeper, Jack has found himself without income, without a home, and with no way to regain the life of luxury that he has lost. Having no education beyond how to charm and fuck, he's left to the tools he has in-hand in order to try and forge a new life for himself. Currently, he's set his sights upon a likely target, and is working on a means of redistributing her wealth into his pockets.Health & Capabilities
In general terms, Jack is the picture of health. He is not the largest or strongest of men, and he has a nagging cough that is made worse when he smokes, or when the smoke is heavy in the city air, but generally there are no complaints about his body... Save one. The past few months have seen him stricken with impotence, which is quite the cause for concern when it's very integral to how he makes his living. No remedies so far have produced much in the way of relief, and it has taken quite the toll on Jack's mental health as well.Socioeconomics
Until recently, Jack had a generous allowance and lived the life of a well-kept pet. While he had some savings, they were not enough to support him for very long. His wardrobe and preening belie the fact that he's all but broke, and were it not for his cousin's generosity in giving him a place to stay, he would be destitute and on the street once more.Skills & Talents
R Social Chameleon — having received tutoring on how to comport himself at all levels of society, Jack has absolutely no problems blending in with any group, be it the poorest ratfucked East Enders, or rubbing elbows with nobility.R Whore's Whore — a lifetime on his back, or between another's thighs, has likewise resulted in a man who is extremely accomplished in the bedroom. But also, in general, his life has revolved around making others happy, and whether that's in bed or out of it, he's very good at finding out how to accomplish that, and making it so.
R Excellent Dancer — while this is partially part of his social etiquette training, Jack is a graceful dancer and excels at it. He also simply enjoys it, and will never turn down a chance to dance, no matter the music, the setting, or the style.
Present Relationships
R Ambrose Wilkes — cousin via their mothers, Rosie and Jack were raised in the same brothel, for all that they took very different routes in life. Jack is extremely fond of his cousin, and extremely thankful that he's given him a place to stay while he gets back on his feet.Identity
Hobbies
R Shopping — though his lack of income now means he's largely reduced to window-shopping, historically Jack loved to spend an afternoon being waited upon by those desperate to make a sale. He enjoys taking his time, being picky, and going home with something he truly fell in love with.R The Theater — given how often he plays a part for others, perhaps it's only natural that he enjoys watching other professionals do so on a stage, for themselves instead of for an audience of one. He doesn't get the chance to go as often as he used to, but very much enjoys the chances he does have.
Background
History
TW: underaged sex workBorn in a brothel to some unknown father and a whore, Jack was never particularly destined for great things. At a young age he was doted upon by the girls who worked at the brothel, imperfectly protected by them and his cousin from the foul moods of the brothel's pimp.
While the other bastards in the brothel made themselves useful in a variety of manners, Jack had never much succeeded in making himself useful. He was, however, a very pretty young man, and it didn't surprise anyone but himself, likely, when the pimp sold him
Plotting
Romance
Jack recently left a long-term committed relationship with his married mistress, and is still smarting over the realization that it was also a very one-sided relationship. She might have loved how he fucked her, but she didn't love him – which was made obvious by her kicking him out after realizing he couldn't fuck her anymore.As a result, Jack's heart is in a far more tender place than he'd ever admit. He isn't willing or interested in romance at this particular moment. All he cares about is getting himself back to living the kind of life he's become accustomed to.
Kinks
After the often-harsh treatment at the hands of men and women with adventurous tastes, Jack has long since realized that he's happiest indulging in no kinks or fetishes at all. That isn't to say he wouldn't do so for someone he cares about deeply, but a lifetime of sex hasn't given him the fulfillment he wants from life, no matter the position or accoutrements.
