PERSONALITY
| Hard-working | Friendly | Kind | Responsible |
| Prideful | Wary | Calculating | Self-Centered | Artificial |
On the surface, Jack is as ever the same friendly and agreeable guy that he has been all along. He works hard, over achieves and spends his time with like minded friends who aim and shoot high. But tunnel-vision is something that plagues him endlessly, and he often fails to see any troubles other than his own-- and is oblivious to how his actions effect those around him. Jack has a touch too much pride to admit when he's lost, as he's good at the things he sets his mind to and is well aware. This stubbornness and one-track mind can often leave him giving up on things he would otherwise be loathe to lose.

After a trying summer, he's a little more taciturn than before- but always ready to switch back to the usual upbeat attitude at a moment's notice. But if he doesn't try hard enough his cheer can feel fake, as his enthusiasm for many things has waned. Trust runs thin for him now, and he tends to assume the worst of people-- they must have some sort of agenda or hidden feelings. In an effort to protect himself from the potential fall out of discovering those ulterior plans, he distances himself and is always trying to find a way to stay one step ahead of the game so that when things do go south, he will be able to come out on top.

HISTORY
The Price family was the foremost in their local church-- the picture perfect upper middle class image of generosity and compassion. They were deeply involved with their community, and as a young boy, Jack learned quickly to follow the example. He was supposed to be normal-- encouraged into the gifted students program at school, signed up for soccer after school, and encouraged to hang out with the ‘right’ kids. Despite his parents’ heavy hand in his life, things just always seemed to go Jack’s way- the ball would roll just so into the goal, there would be a freak snow day when he forgot to do his homework… he was a lucky kid.
Or magical. His parents, devout Christians who frowned on witchcraft, were torn when they received Jack’s letter from Ilvermorny-- disturbed by the professor who visited to explain the hidden world of magic, and betrayed by their son, who innocently found the whole thing to be an exciting discovery as if all the warnings against the occult had fallen on deaf ears. The entire house grew tense as a stalemate over Jack’s future brewed like a cloud over the supposedly perfect family. It was impossible to ignore that Jack’s magic would be unmanageable if he were kept at home- yet impossible to condone a school of sin. It was a big black secret that eventually tore the family into two factions-- Jack’s grandmother and elder sister adjusted their ultra-conservative views to accept him, while his grandfather and parents insisted that prayer and therapy would do the trick.
In the span of a week, his grandmother emerged victorious and Jack’s life turned upside down. He moved to live with his grandmother in Virginia, and where once he had been preparing to enter his first year in middle school as a 6th grader, he was suddenly preparing cauldrons, wands, robes, and all sorts of things that he had been told were evil and sinful all his life. The excitement dampened, and he grew uneasy- entering Ilvermorny with a significantly damaged self-esteem and a fragility that came with knowing that he and this new world he belonged to were the source of a great deal of discord in his once tight knit family.
But at 11 years of age, the wonders of magic quickly overcame the trepidation-- Jack befriended other no-maj students and shared the fun of discovering new strange things together. Out of the same habits drilled into him before, he strove for excellence- hoping to someday show his disapproving family that he was still the same old Jack they had once known despite everything. Striking it out on his own at Ilvermorny gave him the self-discipline he’d been lacking under his parents’ watchful eye- and resolved to have the best experience at Ilvermorny to hopefully someday change their minds about the world of magic.

An unfortunate fall out with his family over the recent summer combined with an inability to stay relevant with the now decidedly internet driven world has left him somewhat disillusioned with the No-Maj world. He is stuck in the no-man's land of belonging to neither society, and is at times more abrasive than usual due to a growing sense of insecurity.

FAMILY
Eleanor Price (69) - Jack’s paternal grandmother, who lives in Virginia. She is a born again Christian who is more open minded than the rest of her family, and finds her grandson’s magic equal parts fascinating and unsettling. She never misses a chance to lecture Jack’s parents about how God would be disappointed in them, which unfortunately only encourages them to stay away.
Laurel Price (19) - Jack's elder sister, who attends University of Mississippi.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
He was born and raised in Mississippi. He had a strong southern accent in his first year at Ilvermorny, but it faded by his third year.
Though he’s extremely (Extremely) messy, he’s not exactly unorganized. He usually has a general idea of where everything is, and is fully capable of cleaning up if given the time and/or proper motivation.
His eyes are hazel. While he admittedly doesn't get as much sleep as he should, his dark circles are actually due to periorbital dark circles rather than a real lack of sleep.
