Captain Jack Harkness
By: Raven Tepes Date: February 15, 2022, 1:38 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Jack barely makes it into Zelpharia's TARDIS as Cyber Men fire
at him during a trip to the 48th century. Jack: Did you miss me,
beautiful?
Zelpharia: About as much as I miss a Dalek with down syndrome.
Zelpharia sarcastically says as she fires up Tara's main
temporal engine and increases fire power to external weapon
defenses.
"Sorry, old man! I gotta go meet a girl...But you've got an
excellent bottom, too!"
~ Jack Harkness to the Time Lord called the Doctor during their
first meeting
"There you go! I can taste it! Oestrogen. Definitely oestrogen.
Take the pill, flush it away, it enters the water cycle.
Feminizes the fish. Goes all the way up into the sky then falls
all the way back down onto me. Contraceptives in the rain. Love
this planet. Still, at least I won't get pregnant. Never doing
that again."
~ Jack Harkness
The Doctor: Sonic blaster, 51st century. From the weapons
factories of Villengard?
Jack: surprised You've been to the factories? hands over his
blaster
The Doctor: Once.
Jack: Well, they're gone, now. One of the main reactors went
critical, vaporized the lot.
The Doctor: tucks the weapon back in Jack's pocket Like I said,
once. There's a banana grove there now. grins The Doctor: I like
bananas. Bananas are good!
Jack: Okay. This can function as a sonic blaster, a sonic
cannon, and as a triple-enfolded sonic disrupter. Doc, what you
got?
The Doctor: I've got a sonic...never mind.
Jack: What?
The Doctor: It's sonic, okay? Lets leave it at that.
Jack: Disrupter? Cannon? What?
The Doctor: It's sonic! Totally sonic! I am sonic'd up!
Jack: A sonic what?!
The Doctor: Screwdriver!
Jack: Make yourself comfortable. Carry on with whatever it was
you were doing.
The Doctor: We were talking about dancing.
Jack: It didn't look like talking.
Rose: It didn't feel like dancing.
Mickey knocks on the door of the TARDIS, only for Jack to open
the door
Jack: Who the hell are you?
Mickey: confused, irritated What do you mean, "Who the hell I
am"? Who the hell are you?
Jack: Captain Jack Harkness. Whatever it is you're selling,
we're not buying.
Zelpharia slices down some alien invaders on New Terra in the
41st century as Jack fires his sonic blaster at others. They're
back to back as they fight as Zelpharia's butt just lightly
brushes against Jack. Jack: You know what I like about working
with you?
Zelpharia: doesn't stop fighting Let me guess. We always find
some kind of excitement outside of Torchwood.
Jack: No, you have a much nicer bottom to bump against than the
Doctor or some of the others at Torchwood.
Zelpharia: For the love of all that's holy, Jack. Is this really
the time to talk about my backside? Zelpharia takes down two
enemies in one swing.
Jack: It's always the right time to talk about your shapely
backside when it helps you fight harder. Jack says with coy
humor.
Zelpharia: Come on, Jack. We've got to decide who's taking a
team to a dimensional rift ripping open near Pembroke and
letting a bunch of dinosaurs loose.
Jack: Again? Can't we just let Hellsing or UNIT take care of it?
Jack moans from his desk.
Zelpharia: Pilgrim sent the orders to us so it's in our court.
She says as she walks over to Jack's desk.
Jack: Fine. Let's do this then. He leans forward and gets ready
to decided who takes a team out. Jack: Ready? Jack asks as
Zelpharia gets her hands ready.
Zelpharia: Ready. She says with a determined smile. Jack and
Zelpharia then begin to play paper, rock, scissors to decide
who's taking the team out. Zelpharia throws rock while Jack
throws scissors. Zelpharia: Ha! I win, Jack. Now go get a team
together.
One Valentine's Day, Jack walks in with two full bouquets of red
roses and places one on Ianto's desk. Jack: Happy Valentine's
Day, Ianto.
Ianto: gives Jack a small smile Thank you,and Happy Valentine's
Day to you as well. The roses are lovely. He then raises an
eyebrow at the other bouquet. Ianto: Planning to divide those
among the ladies on the team?
Jack: Nope, these are for our lovely resident Time Lady. He says
as he goes to Zelpharia's TARDIS, Tara, where he can hear
Zelpharia working through the open door.
Ianto: You really like pushing her buttons. Don't you? Ianto
says with a hint of jealousy.
Jack: pauses and looks back to Ianto How is giving her flowers
going to push Zeph's buttons?
Zelpharia: walks into the door frame of Tara and crosses Because
the flowers usually come with innuendos or is an apology because
you did something stupid.
Jack: looks to Zelpharia Not always. These were going to come
with an offer for a Valentine's Day dinner for three.
Zelpharia: raises an eyebrow Dinner for three?
Ianto: clears his throat I believe Jack is trying to fulfill a
Valentine's Day fantasy he's had for awhile.
Jack: Hey! Can't I be nice to Zeph without such implications?
Ianto and Zelpharia: at the same time No.
Jack: And this is what I get for trying to be nice.

Pheromones: Like other men in the 51st century, Jack possessed
evolved human pheromones which made him naturally nice-smelling
and attractive to others. Basically Jack's pheromones are strong
enough that he never has to wear cologne and smells nearly
irresistible to most species and genders.
Natural Leader: The power to know how to be a leader. The user
possesses innate understanding of how to be a great leader
allowing them to effectively keep order and morale. Users have
an intuitive mastery of the associated leadership skills, speech
and body language, expertly sending all the right signals,
granting them major leverage in any social situation and
allowing to easily forge a fanatical level of trust and devotion
in whoever they exert these talents on.
Using this ability, the user can develop an incredibly
charismatic personality, and is capable of inspiring and swaying
others into the users influences. With enough time the user
could win the loyalty and devotion of anyone, change anyone's
views on anything, bring them to serve and follow the user. The
user can easily develop a strong cult of personality around
themselves.
Using this ability, the user can obtain authority, raise to the
top of any social hierarchy and take leadership positions very
quickly and easily, and perform feats such as always making the
right choice when it comes to administering, commanding,
governing, and leading.
(
HTML https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Leadership_Intuition)
Temporal Anomaly Physiology: The ability to be a temporal
anomaly within the multiverse. The user is either born or
created as a temporal anomaly and exist outside the of the
timeline of the multiverse.
Those who are born as temporal anomalies exist outside of the
multiversal time-line until the last day of existence. They are
typically born either in an area of immense temporal energy
(tachyon energy in some cultures) which pushes the character
outside of the time-line at either conception or birth. The user
will grow until their body hits the age of full maturity for
their species.
Created temporal anomalies is typically when a user has been
exposed or hit with an immense temporal energy. The amount of
energy needed is equal to a small bomb or greater. Example of a
created temporal anomaly: Captain Jack Harkness was turned into
a temporal anomaly after taking a direct blast of temporal
energy shed by the Doctor during Time Lord Regeneration. These
temporal anomalies don't always exist until the end of their
universe as it can be a temporary condition.
Application:
~ Temporal Lock: The power to exist outside of time. The user
exists outside of time, which makes them immune to its effects
and all that is caused by it. This can render the user ageless
as a result. Since the user's body is not affected by time, they
do not expend energy, and therefore neither need to eat nor
sleep. Because time does not flow for the user, any diseases
also do not progress, thus effectively rendering the user immune
to disease symptoms and damage. They may also exhibit
regenerative capabilities as a result of their temporal lock, as
their bodies will always revert to the point in time in which
they were not injured. The user may be locked into a specific
point in their time, and will always regress to that particular
point in time, no matter how much of it passes.
(
HTML https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Temporal_Lock)
~ Infinite Resurrection: The ability to resurrect oneself
endlessly. The user can resurrect themselves endlessly every
time they die, returning inevitably to life in perfect
condition. In other words, the user can not stay dead without
certain vulnerabilities used. This is done through a form of
Temporal Resurrection which is the power to resurrect oneself by
rewinding time to a point before death.
(
HTML https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Infinite_Resurrection)
~ Delayed Immortality: The power to age to a certain point as an
immortal/long-lived being. The user is able to age at a human
rate until reaching maturity, after which they stop aging and
live forever afterward. Note: This is only for natural born
temporal anomaly beings.
~ Regenerative Healing Healing: The power to rapidly heal. Users
possess a regenerative healing factor, meaning that they can
rapidly heal and get restored to their optimal and full
health/state at an extremely fast rate. Unlike Healing,
regeneration/healing factor is a process that happens
unconsciously without the need for activation, resulting in a
constant state of optimal health. Regeneration is a process that
occurs in all biological entities, but a regenerative healing
factor is much more efficient, seamless, and powerful. So much
so that users can recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs, and
limbs, sometimes slowing, or even stopping aging, something
natural regeneration can never accomplish (or does so extremely
slowly). The rate and amount of healing vary widely (see Levels
of Regeneration); some can regrow missing limbs, others must put
the limb back in place for rapid regeneration. The user is
generally in very good physical shape, as their bodies are
constantly reverting to a healthy state, granting them
nigh-inexhaustible stamina and vitality.
Temporal Anomaly beings have a near superhuman regenerative
healing factor when wounds are not fatal in nature. This is done
through Temporal Healing which returns one's own body to a state
before it suffers any damage.

Passive:
Knowledge: Language and Literacy: The ability to speak and read
one or more languages.

Social Intuition aka Common Touch: User intuitively determines
how to interact with subjects. One with this ability could tell
exactly what to say to interact with certain people, or tell the
rank of a person within a group. The user also gains a great
voice, eloquence, and charisma.
Research: Training in the use of methods, techniques, and means
of finding information, including public records, libraries,
interviews, surveys, demographics, trade journals, the computer
network, and legal searches. This skill is helpful in locating
information about people, places, and things. The G.M. should
ultimately the availability of accessible, known information
regarding a particular subject. Any character can do research
and ask questions, but the research skill will reduce the amount
of time by half and the character is trained to notice relevant
information that an untrained character is liable to overlook.
Thus, for truly secret or difficult information, you must have
the character with the research skill try to uncover it.
Criminology: The user possesses an incredible and innate
understanding/knowledge of criminology, the study of crime and
deviant behavior. With this knowledge, the user can figure out
how criminals function, working out their motivations and what

This means that a player may choose this skill repeatedly in
order to pilot more than one type of Mecha.
Space Fighter: The skill to pilot space fighter jets and jet
like space crafts.
Navigation - Space: Basically the same as normal navigation
techniques. The only difference is the use of stars, and some of
the sensory equipment.
Pilot TARDIS: The user is fully trained and skilled at piloting
a temporal-spacial shapeshifting spacecrafts called T.A.R.D.I.S.
Temporal Travel Device and Navigation: The skill to use time
travel devices and to navigate through the universe's timeline.
Espionage/Rogue Skills:[/I]
Surveillance Systems: This is the study and understanding of the
operation, methods, and techniques in the use of surveillance
systems. Includes motion detectors, simple and complex alarm
systems, audio/visual recording and display equipment, recording
methods, amplified sound systems, miniature listening devices
(bugs, line tapping), and some optical enhancement systems
(specifically as they relate to camera lenses). Tailing, or
following someone without their knowledge, is another form of
surveillance. This also includes stake-out procedures.
Detect Ambush: Training which develops an eye for spotting
locations and terrains suitable for ambushes and being ambushed.
It also provides a rudimentary knowledge of guerrilla tactics
used by the enemy.
Sniper: This skill represents special training in long range
rifle firing and marksmanship. Only rifles that can be made to
fire a single round or blast can be used for sniping (no
automatic/multi-firing rifles). Adds a bonus of +25% to strike
on an aimed shot.
Tracking: Visual tracking is the identification of tracks, and
following the path of men or animals by the signs they leave on
the ground and vegetation. Tracking is a precise art, requiring
much practice. The skill includes the evaluation of tracks,
indicating whether the person being tracked is loaded down with
equipment, running, moving slowly (by measuring the space
between steps), and so on. By this means, the tracker can
estimate the person's rate of movement, apparent direction, the
number of persons in the party, and whether the person knows he
is being followed. Other methods of tracking require recognizing
other telltale signs, such as blood and other stains, broken and
displaced vegetation, overturned rocks, litter (such as
cigarette butts, ration cans, candy wrappers, soiled bandages
and campfire remains), and even odors carried by the wind.
Tracking also includes the recognizing of dangerous animals by
their tracks, habits, and feces. Likewise, tire tracks made by
vehicles can reveal much, such as size and type of the vehicle,
the weight of its load, etc.
Counter-Tracking techniques are also known, such as covering
one's trail, misdirection, parallel trails, avoiding obvious
pitfalls like littering and others.
Imitate Voices & Impersonation: The ability to imitate the
voice, accent and expressions of another person or area. This
skill is common among ninja, spies, and priests as well as tengu
and oni. The first number indicates the character's ability to
change his-voice and imitate accents, inflections and
expressions from other regions.
Interrogation Techniques: This skill is common among policemen,
intelligence officers, and assassins/spies/bounty hunters. The
character knows the techniques to get information from
(typically unwilling) subjects. This includes such old methods
as "good cop, bad cop" (one interrogator is threatening and
intimidating, the other is sympathetic and friendly), deceiving
and misleading the subject into giving away information, and
similar. The character can also judge if the subject is lying.
This skill also includes some basic knowledge on methods of
torture, from basic tactics like depriving the subject of sleep,
to the use of "medieval" instruments, drugs and psionics.
[i]Note: Only evil characters will engage in actual torture.
Seduction: This is the ability to make the opposite sex melt
with desire. This skill is somewhat similar to the interrogation
skill, in that the seducer knows how to ask the right questions
to get information without being obvious. The seducer usually
seems attentive, sympathetic, and alluring/sexy. Men and women
who are seduced tend to have loose lips (meaning they tend to
talk freely), say more than they should, and tell secrets. They
also lose track of time, spend big money to impress and please
their seducer, and lavish her or him with their affection, time
and attention, while oblivious to everything else around them.
Most of all, somebody who is seduced is vulnerable. The person
who is successfully seduced is distracted, skill performance is
half and takes twice as long to perform, the character has no
initiative, doesn't notice people or events around him/her, and
is easily caught off-guard; no initiative and all bonuses are at
half when attacked by a character other than the seducer. Worse,
the victim(s) of the seduction is completely vulnerable to the
seducer! The seducer always gets the first strike/attack/action.
The victim has no chance of self-defense against that first
attack, plus loses one attack/action from surprise or horror. In
addition, the seducer is +5% to pick the pockets of, palm, or
plant things on his/her victim of seduction, as well as +5% to
the skills cardsharp, sing and dance. Research has shown that
the more alcohol the intended victim drinks, the easier it is to
seduce someone (+5%).
Military:
Strategic Mastermind: The ability to be an extremely skilled
strategic genius and apply this skill to several objectives. The
user is an extremely skilled strategic genius and apply this
skill to several objectives, able to intuitively create
strategies and plans several steps ahead of the opponent. They
can elaborate complex plans/strategies and apply them not only
in battle but all activities that involve cunning intellect,
e.g. strategic games. They can instinctively anticipate all of
the possible obstacles/opportunities and know what the best
actions to take in any situation, allowing them to adapt and
prepare for future events in advance by considering a large
number of scenarios/outcomes/options/paths, and plan ahead for
them, to be ready for any situation that may occur and handle it
effectively.
Most of the users of this ability are very analytical and can
understand or anticipate the enemies' moves, and always be two
steps forward in any situation.

Wilderness Survival: Techniques for getting water, food,
shelter, and help when stranded in wild forests, deserts, or
mountains. Characters without this skill will not be able to
stay healthy for more than a few days in the wilderness once
their supplies run out.
Camouflage: The skill of concealing a fixed base position,
vehicle, bot, equipment or individual, using natural or
artificial materials. A fair amount of time is involved in the
preparation of a larger position. Large cargo nets, cut branches
or underbrush are most often used in camouflage. This skill is
also used to conceal traps.
Demolitions: Demolitions provides the person with an advanced
knowledge in the use and workings of explosives and detonation
devices for the purpose of blowing up bridges, buildings, and
sabotage. This includes all types of explosives, such as mines,
dynamite, plastics, nitro, blasting caps, etc. It also includes
a basic understanding of the strategic placement of mines and
booby traps. This will increase the character's awareness of
suspicious rope, string, and wire.
Military Etiquette: This skill grants a clear understanding of
the way the military works, including rules of behavior (when to
salute, how to address superiors/subalterns, etc.), military
procedures and routines, standard issue of equipment, special
ordering procedures, proper display of rank and medals,
advancement in rank (and the duties that come with it), proper
troop formations,
how to deal with military bureaucracy, the chain of command,
proper channels, who to contact to get things done, and other
useful information on matters of military protocol and
bureaucracy.
Find Contraband, Weapons & Cybernetics: The character with this
skill knows where to find arms dealers, smugglers, body
chop-shops, cyber-snatchers, M.O.M. and Juicer conversions,
criminal cyber-docs and illegal medical treatment, as well as
how to spot them. He is also familiar with their practices,
hang-outs, gang or criminal ties, general practices, code of
conduct, pricing structures and modes of operation.
Likewise, the character has a good idea of what black market
weapons and cybernetics should cost and what these people pay
for contraband items (typically only 20% of the retail market
price). The character also knows the penalty for being caught
with an illegal weapon, implant or bionics.
Fortification: This is the skill of designing and building
defensive fortifications suitable for modern mega-damage combat.
If provided with the time and materials, the character can
greatly increase the defensive value of natural terrain with
murderous defenses that include obstacles to impede movement and
protective structures to shield friendly forces from enemy fire.
The character is trained to prepare mine fields, barbed wire,
tank obstacles, tangle-foot wire, booby traps, trenches, tank
ditches, foxholes/shell scrapes, reinforced concrete or earthen
walls, bunker complexes, rail gun/mortar emplacements, tunnel
systems and similar defensive constructions.
Parachuting: This skill includes the methods, procedures, and
techniques of parachuting, packing the chute, skydiving
techniques, precision landing, landing without injury, and
practice of jumping from a high altitude aircraft. The advantage
of parachuting is secrecy, since the troopers' insertion into
enemy territory is silent and often goes unnoticed. The
following three methods are the ones most commonly used by
modern paratroopers:
High-Altitude-High-Opening (HAHO) jumps take place from a height
of 25,000 to 30,000 ft. As the paratroopers drop, they travel
laterally to the desired drop zone (DZ) where they wish to land.
This technique is used to "throw off enemy units since they will
probably search for paratroopers directly beneath the path of
the aircraft.
High-Altitude-Low-Opening (HALO) operations also begin at 25,000
to 30,000 ft (7620 to 9144 m) but the paratrooper does not pop
the chute until an altitude of 4,000 ft (1220 m), or even less.
The jump takes place so rapidly that there is little chance for
the paratroopers to be viewed after the chutes open.
The most dangerous method is Low-Altitude-Low-Opening (LALO)
drops. The jump is made at the mere height of 300 to 500 ft (91
to 152 m). If there are any complications (a failed roll), the
paratrooper is likely to be injured (broken bones) or killed
(30% chance)! Even if the jump goes without a hitch, there is a
20% chance of taking damage from an awkward landing, even if
wearing M.D. armor.
Recognize Weapon Quality: The ability to accurately determine a
weapon's durability, reliability, and quality by physically
examining it. This includes knowing which manufacturers are
reputed to make the best weapons, the ability to recognize
damage or signs of misuse, modifications/customization or wear
and tear, whether the weapon can be made as good as new
with a little repair work and/or cleaning, whether it is a cheap
(or quality) "knock-off (copy/imitation), and so on. The
character can also recognize if the weapon is stolen (serial
numbers filed away, etc.), new, old, and if it has any other
special features or properties as well as knowing what the fair
price should be.
Trap/Mine Detection: Knowledge of the strategic placement of
booby traps and mines, the
tell-tale trademarks and indications of traps and mines, how to
avoid them, and the use of mine and explosive detection
equipment. The character has been trained to watch for
suspicious objects, dirt mounds, trip wires and camouflaging
materials that may denote the presence of a trap. Simple snare
traps and trip wires can be easily disarmed by the character,
but the demolitions disposal skill is required to disarm mines,
explosives or complex traps.
Weapon Mastery: The power to possess proficiency, capabilities
and knowledge in weapons beyond that of the peak members of
their species. Users possess proficiency, capabilities and
knowledge in weapons, any implement or device that can be used
with the intent to inflict damage or harm, beyond that of the
peak members of the species. This means users are skilled in
wielding various forms of weapons, from swords to hammers to
chains to sniper rifles, being able to beat anyone wielding
similar forms of weapons instantly and effortlessly.
Users can perfectly and without a single flaw or mistake use any
and every type of weapon there is, was and will ever be whenever
they want with 0 zero effort. Being proficient in any weapon
comes with a plethora of various abilities as well, like overall
better precision, accuracy and combat capabilities.

HTML https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Weapon_Proficiency)
Weapon Systems: This is the complete understanding of weapon
units and systems incorporated into military vehicles, power
armor, and robot vehicles. It includes lasers, particle beams,
rail guns, missile and grenade launchers, cannons, and
vehicle/robot weapon systems. Adds a special bonus of +10% to
strike when using these types of weapons
Armorer/Field Armorer: This is a somewhat simplistic version of
the weapons engineer as it applies to infantry weapons. A
competent armorer character can maintain, fix, modify, mount,
reload/charge ammunition, and figure out most small arms. The
Armorer can repair all types of pistols and rifles, repair minor
damage to body armor, adjust targeting sights, use and repair
optical enhancements, reload missiles and ammo drums, recharge
E-clips, install/mount a rail gun or machine gun on a vehicle,
and even fix most simple robot and bionic weapons like forearm
blasters and retractable blades, as well as make arrows and
arrowheads, sharpen blades/weapons, make horseshoes and basic
metal items (including nails, spikes, and chain links). He can
also deactivate, reset and fix simple traps (roll for each
attempt).
Combat:[/I]
Boxing: Classic art of fighting with fists. Training helps build
the body and reflexes. Skilled boxers will automatically
knockout an opponent on a roll of a natural twenty. The victim
of a knockout will remain unconscious for up to 6 rounds. Unlike
normal knockout/stun, the player does not have to announce that
he is trying to knockout his opponent before making a roll to
strike.
Wrestling: As taught in old high schools and colleges, wrestling
is more of a sport than a combat skill, but it does provide some
useful combat moves.
Hand to Hand: [I]Basic:[/I] Provides elementary fighting
techniques and methods of attack and self-defense as taught in
military basic training or in self-defense classes.
Hand to Hand: [I]Expert:[/I] An advanced form of self-defense
and unarmed combat usually taught to commandos.
Hand to Hand: [I]Assassin:[/I] This is an advanced form of
combat with an emphasis on immobilizing or killing one's
opponent quickly.
Back flip: [I]Defense:[/I] The back flip involves throwing
oneself backwards with the arms and shoulders, flipping the legs
completely up, over, and back down on the ground into a standing
position. The result is that one quickly moves backwards by a
full body. Doing a back flip counts as one melee attack/action.
Back flip: [I]Escape:[/I] If used in place of a strike (when
it's the back-flipping character's turn to strike) this removes
the character from combat and requires the opponent to use up an
attack/action to move into range. This also gives the back
flipping character the initiative.
Back flip: [I]Attack:[/I] This is especially useful against
someone attempting some kind of back strike. Once the opponent
is detected in the rear, the back flip moves back into combat
range. A back flip can also be used as a combined Strike against
an opponent to the rear of the character. Use with either an axe
kick, snap kick, or backhand strike. If striking with a back
flip use only the bonus to back flip (not strike). Cannot be
used with death blow or knock-out/stun.
Body Block/Tackle: This is a combination of a damage causing
body block and a knockdown attack.
Body Flip/Throw: A judo style throw or flip that uses an
attacker's own momentum and leverage to "flip" or "throw" him
off his feet and onto the ground.
Break fall: Also known as "ukemi," this is an advanced version
of roll with punch/fall/impact. The character takes no damage if
the break fall is successful, and only half damage if the roll
for break fall fails! It can also be used against a knock-out
attack.
Cartwheel (Attack): Holding the body rigidly extended, the
character rolls like a wheel by using the arms and legs as
spokes. This maneuver can be used to move quickly into combat
range. A cartwheel can also be used as part of a combined strike
against an opponent to the rear of the character when used with
either an Axe kick, Wheel kick or Knife Hand. If striking with a
cartwheel, use only the cartwheel bonus. Must be used as the
first attack in a melee round. Note: Cannot be used with death
blow or knock-out/stun.
Critical Strike: A powerful, special or nerve shattering strike
that inflicts double the usual damage.
Death Blow: A special attack designed to kill an opponent in one
or two strikes! Whenever the words "death blow" are presented
without limitation, the character can use a death strike
whenever he desires; however, such a devastating attack counts
as two melee attacks/actions.
Drop Kick: This is the combination of falling to the ground, a
dodge and a kick. The kick can be either a kick attack, a snap
kick or a crescent kick. It's done in place of a dodge (or as an
attack) as a defensive move.
Disarm: The act of disarming is simply getting rid of the
opponent's weapon; it does no damage. It can be used as a
defensive move in place of a dodge or parry, or can be done as
an attack/strike.
The disarm move is a strike, hold or grappling maneuver that
causes an opponent to drop his weapon or whatever he's holding.
Counts as one melee attack/action. Disarm does not give the
weapon to the character making the disarm move. True, the item
is forced out of the victim's grasp, but it is either knocked
away or falls to the ground.
Hold: Using both hands, the attacker grabs on to some part of
the opponent's body and attempts to immobilize him. If the
strike is successful, then the victim is helpless until
released. Holds do no damage. Neither the attacker nor the
victim can attack, parry or dodge while the hold is working.
It's easy for the attacker to hold the victim so that some third
character can attack unopposed or attack from the rear.
Jump Kicks: This kick is performed by leaping completely off the
ground and attempting to land foot-first on an opponent. Jump
kicks can be used only by those skilled in hand to hand martial
arts. The advantage of a jump kick is that it works as a
critical strike and doubles the normal damage inflicted. The
disadvantage of a jump kick is that no other attack may be
performed in that melee round (all attacks for that melee are
used up in the kick). The jump kick must be the character's
first attack of that melee round. For the rest of the melee
round, the character can only parry, dodge or move into
position.
Leap Attack: An airborne assault where the weapon and/or fists
or feet are wielded in mid-leap. An attack must be made only at
the beginning of a melee round and, like a jump kick, uses up
all attacks for that melee round. Usually only a single strike
can be made during a leap attack.
Maintain Balance: When some kind of knockdown attack has
succeeded, while the character is starting to fall over, this is
his last chance attempt to recover. A successful roll (over the
opponent's
strike roll) means that the character will immediately regain
his balance and remain standing. He can continue to fight but
the act of retaining balance means he used up one melee
attack/action. When
maintain balance is used, then roll with punch/fall/impact or
break fall can't be used.
Paired Weapons: Certain kinds of weapons, such as sais,
nunchaku, daisho, knives, clubs and swords, can be used as
paired weapons. Users of paired weapons can strike and parry
simultaneously, can do twin strikes against a single target or
against a pair of targets, and can parry two, different
opponents at the same time. In other words, warriors skilled in
paired weapons often can do two actions for every one of their
melee attacks (i.e. strike and parry). However, a twin,
simultaneous strike with both weapons means losing the automatic
parry and leaves the character open to his opponent's next
attack without benefit of a parry (dodge is optional but uses up
a melee action).
Pull Punch: The ability to control the force of a hand to hand
attack, whether it be a punch, kick or with a hand weapon. The
character can choose to inflict half damage, quarter damage, a
single point of damage, or no damage at all!
Jujitsu: This combat style is very pragmatic, using the
philosophy of "whatever works." Techniques range from the
assault of vital points, joint locks and throwing techniques. A
trained master can reduce their victims into helplessness even
if armed with daggers, sticks and guns. Any
advantage that can be gained will be used by a Jujitsu
practitioner without a second thought of fairness.
Kendo: Kendo is a martial art developed around the art of
swordsmanship. Consequently, it deals with balance, striking,
parrying and slacking.
Mecha Combat: [i]Excalibur Type: Each Destroid has a different
weapon system and hand to hand capability. To take full
advantage of these astounding
machines, the character should have Mecha combat. This training
enables the pilot to complete the symbiotic link with the
Destroid, nearly doubling the number of attacks and agility.
Like the Pilot Mecha skill, the player must select Mecha combat
for each Destroid to function at maximum efficiency.
Weaknesses: Jack Harkness is a human who can technically be
killed with a well placed kill shot.. he just doesn't stay dead.
Jack can feel physical pain of death both when he dies and for a
moment or two after temporal resurrection. Created Temporal
anomalies can be returned to exist within Time if one is able to
go back to the precise moment that the person was turned into a
temporal anomaly and prevent the event.
Weapons and Items:
Compact Laser Deluxe: The compact laser deluxe is a small, but
powerful laser weapon. Its compact dimensions were demonstrated
when Jack was able to draw it on and surprise Trin-E and Zu-Zana
despite being completely naked at the time, using the weapon to
blow their heads off after they threatened him. Jack refused to
elaborate on where he'd been hiding it other than it being
somewhere "you really don't wanna know".
Webley Revolver: Jack Harkness owns a Mark IV Webley Revolver.
It is .38 caliber and has a five inch barrel with 6 shots.
Vortex Manipulator: A vortex manipulator is a form of basic time
travel used by the Time Agency of the 51st century. The Tenth
Doctor has taken a dismal view of it, claiming that it's a
"space hopper" compared to his "sports car," his TARDIS. Unlike
safer time travel options, vortex manipulators take a major toll
on organic beings, through direct exposure to the Time Vortex.
Enough successive time hops can kill most beings.
Psychic Paper: Psychic paper is a blank, white card that has
special psychic properties. When shown to a person, it can
usually induce them to see whatever the user wishes them to see
printed on it.
Personality: Jack Harkness' personality was willfully enigmatic.
He enjoyed his persona of "mysterious time traveler", much of
which remained constant in his experiences with Torchwood and
the Doctor. Before being cursed with immortality, he was a
flippant former con man who loved adventuring with the Doctor
and seducing beings throughout the universe. Jack automatically
flirted with most people he met, not caring about their gender
or if they were human, alien or even robots. The Doctor often
told him to stop and Jack would often reply, "I'm just saying
hello". But as the Doctor pointed out, "For you, that's
flirting".
Besides being a flirt, Jack was a drinker. He once remarked that
on one occasion when he was sentenced to death, he got drunk and
ended up in bed with both his executioners. He told Rose that he
preferred to discuss business while he was drinking. He smoked
but gave up in the 1980s. Jack claimed to the Ninth Doctor that
before he met him he had been a coward and said that he might
have been better off that way.
Despite the fact that he was incapable of dying even if he
wanted to, Jack retained a sense of humor, frequently telling
jokes and being lively and cheerful. However, underneath his
cheerful demeanor, Jack was unsure if he wanted to die or not.
Living forever (or at least as near to forever as a human could
live) brought him to an existential viewpoint. While he joked
about grey hairs and remained silent about mortality, Jack saw
death as the ultimate end of being; there was no afterlife and
no one waiting for him from his past lives. Jack expressed
annoyance at people in the 21st century being unable to figure
out that aliens exist, believing the Sycorax invasion on the
Christmas of 2005 and the Battle of Canary Wharf were more than
enough proof that they did. While escaping a Dalek saucer, Jack
gleefully told the surrounding Daleks that "I'm Captain Jack
Harkness and I'm immortal."
Although friendly and flirtatious, Jack could also be ruthless
at times and did not hesitate to kill anyone or anything that he
felt was a threat. He was also equally unwilling to do anything
that could endanger the Torchwood facility. This sometimes got
him into trouble with his allies who disapproved of his lack of
compassion. An example of this was when he tried to force Ianto
Jones to execute his girlfriend Lisa Hallett, who had been
turned into a Cyberman, instead of letting someone else do it.
He reasoned that the entire thing was Ianto's responsibility and
even threatened to kill them both if he didn't do it, causing
Ianto to say "You like to think you're a hero, but you're the
biggest monster of all". Another example of his ruthlessness was
when he refused to open the Rift despite it being their best
chance to change everything back to normal, even insulting the
rest of the team when they attempted it. This caused Owen Harper
to shoot him because he felt that Jack didn't care about what
they had lost. Because of these incidents, the entire team was
surprised by Jack's desire to save the Cash Cow, with Gwen
Cooper going so far as to imply she thought he didn't have a
heart. Indeed, although he could be aggressive, Jack still cared
deeply about his allies and was devastated when any of them were
killed.
Always a vocal, unreliable narrator of his own adventures, Jack
was as much of a mystery to the people he met as the countless
lives he claimed to have led. Jack continued to protect himself
with an air of mystery. No one he encountered knew his real name
or many details about his career or life. He often told
anecdotes about his sex life, but no one knew how many were
real, however since he was a successful flirt, it is likely a
lot of his tales were true. He rarely told his teammates
anything about himself or his past unless the situation demanded
it; Gwen even once lamented the fact that they knew almost
nothing about him and that he just came and went whenever he
felt like it. This was because Jack believed that his past
didn't matter and that who he was now was important. He was
shown to greatly dislike being reminded of his past, such as his
desperation to remove Captain John Hart from his life as he was
a reminder of his past. In contrast to this mysterious nature,
Jack could also be brutally honest at times, such as when he
bluntly told Beth Halloran that she was a ruthless killing
machine and that there was nothing they could do to change that.
Despite being immortal, and so coming back after being killed
numerous times, Jack continued to have a fear of death, which he
acknowledged during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I. He
remained ever uncertain whether his next death would be his
last.
Though he professed "responsibility" as his motto after the Year
That Never Was, the utter devastation Jack experienced in the
space of five days over the course of the 456 incident and the
deaths of his grandson and Ianto Jones left him wrecked with
guilt and grief, unable to remain on Earth. When he returned to
Earth, Jack seemed to be a shadow of his old self because he had
lost so many people he cared about, although he had recovered
enough to stay on Earth in order to defend it.
Jack was haunted by the loss of his younger brother Gray and
spent many decades searching for him. He blamed himself for
Gray's disappearance because he'd let go of his hand when they
were fleeing from aliens during their childhood, describing it
as the worst day of his life. Jack loved his brother deeply and,
even after Gray turned against him, Jack told him that he
forgave him. However, Gray refused to give him absolution and
Jack had no choice but to chloroform him and seal him in the
cryo-chambers. John Hart insisted that killing him was the only
option, believing that Gray would never recover from the trauma,
but Jack refused, believing that there had been enough death.
Jack possessed a deep hatred of the Daleks due to their being
responsible for his first death and was only too gleeful at the
chance of destroying them.
