Bio

jack

the seven

Jonathan "Jack" Havemeyer is a 24 year old college student, currently attending CSULB, having just transferred from Seattle Community College. He plans to major in journalism with a minor marine biology; his dream job is working public relations for Sea World. Or, you know, something like that. Could be he'll end up going back to the business of torture and being a supervillain.

Jack was one of the original members of the Seven and is also known as Harkness; he chose the name because he's a geek.

Jack is bisexual and doesn't much care what people think about that. Before going to college, he worked his way through various temp agencies before eventually getting a steady job at Starbucks, working his way through the ranks before suddenly leaving town. After the Seven broke apart, due in large part to his friend Loretta's involvement as the first powered superhero in the region, and after Lore found out that her best friend was in fact one of her worst enemies, Jack packed up his life and left, intent to restart.

The Seven were, up until just a few months ago, the reigning faces of terror in the Seattle area. Composed of seven powered or otherwise naturall equipped individuals, all with a certain bent toward havoc and mayhem, the Seven were feared symbols of anarchy and psychosis. Led by Shadowgirl, the other members were the Rabid Random, Obsidian, Sunflower, Dart, 0110011101101111011011000110010101101101 (or Zero-one-one for short), and Harkness. Each provided their individual skills and preferences to the team, equalling a cohesive whole. Of the Seven, the most feared might have been Harkness and the Rabid Ransom, who were known for their blatant disregard for the sanctity of human life, while Shadow Girl became increasingly obsessed with taking down her enemy, the leader of the Everymen, Wind Walker. When Shadow Girl tried to focus the group on her own personal vengence, things started to go awry, and late in 2008 the group dissolved for good.

no heroes plz	harkness	Links
"No Heroes Plz" was my 2008 National Novel Writing Month creation. Jack was the best friend of the protagonist, Loretta Donald Darling, and was eventually revealed to also be the maniac behind the mask of Harkness. Therefore, he belongs to me, and any resemblence he has to fictional, living or dead persons is wholly coincidental. No money is being made off of this venture, anyway, so bugger off. Lucky for Jack, the world in which "No Heroes Plz" was set included all possible superheroes and villains as real and actual people, making crossfandom RP not only exceptionally easy but perfectly logical for Jack. Being something of a geek, as well, if that villain or hero is at all well known, he's probably read about them. Especially if it's a villain. (Check out the unfinished novel)	Harkness is Jack's alterego. When going out on the town as Harkness, he wears a full body suit in a mottled dark gray, green and blue. It includes a mask, but no cape, because those are just asking for trouble. Jack can manipulate electricity, which shows itself in the form of red crackling sparks, most often around his hands and arms. He can shoot the electricity in bolts as well as control it in nearby electrical units. He can also fly.	Profile Code Link Link

fire-fighting verse

capitulation verse

In the Fire Fighting verse, Jack has cut back on being active as Harkness. He almost never pulls out his costume and rarely even goes flying, even if he desperately feels the urge. It's definitely worth it, though, because he's insanely in love with Duffy, who even returns the feelings. Focusing on becoming a normal member of society, Jack's trying to completely give up his villainous ways.

And in the Capitulation verse, Jack -- isn't doing that. He's giving in to the pressure and returning to his old habits. Right now, he and Duffy are barely talking, even though every time they do, Jack has a hard time tearing himself away. Who knows, maybe he'll still get a Duffy or another nice girl or guy. But Jack's main goal here is to be true to himself or, at least, who he thinks his self is. Or who the Rabid Ransom thinks his self is. :D Maybe he'll even move to Gotham!
