Age: Young Teen

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: [b]Eye Color:[/b] Piercing yellow<br />[b]Physique & Colors:[/b] Black all over, except for his claws, which are off white. While his head may have the standard Griffin look, his eyes are all Wolf. He's the perfect blend of both: stealthy, ruthless, and a hunter.

Personality: Jack is most active at night; that is when he contributes to the gang. Being quick, dark, and able to fly, getaways are usually rather easy. Jack has mastered the art of lock picking using his claws, so stealing from the wealthy is one of his specialties.<br /><br />Jack also likes to draw using his talons, and keeps a sketch book and ink bottle with him in a satchel.<br /><br />Being a meat eater, Jack will sometimes be away from the group for a few days at a time, in order to travel and hunt. But he still returns to the group, bringing with him a contribution.

Backstory: Jet black, he is the hunter of the night. Nearly as old as Dodger, he's one of the heads of the crew, though he and Dodge do not always agree. It's a power struggle between the two, one that Jack believes Dodger cannot win. But, he respects Dodger's authority, and figures that the other orphans will back Dodger up.<br /><br />However, Jack knows that he owes his life to Dodger. When he was just an egg, he was stolen away from his family, and put on display in a Circus as a rare species. Working as a sideshow 'amazing oddity', and a Circus grunt, Jack stayed, only because he had no where else to go. Dodger helped him escape and hide, and they were soon fast friends. Jack was the first to join Dodge's group, back when there was no house, and everyday was spent looking for food and a new place to sleep.<br /><br />Jack likes his life how it is, not really answering to anybody, but having animals that care about him, and that he cares about as well. He has ties, but not so strong that he can't strike out on his own at times. He has almost no worries, his only fear being that he will be caught—which is a fear everyone in the group shares. He can do want he wants, when he wants. If there's something he wants, he can likely get it. How could life be better?
