Jack opinnions and state of mind[edit]
Not sure if this was ever posted on the wiki.
Vivian: Jack has mixed feelings about Vivian on one hand she seems to be
one part Wonder Woman one part Super Secretary and seems to be able to
get what needs doing done in a pinch. And her loyalty once given in an
impressive and unswayable thing. On the other hand her tottaly lack of
ability to take anything jack trys seriously and her immediate
assumption to jump as far to the opisite of any direction no matter
weather hes being "jack" or has a good idea is frustrating to the young
man. Its his own fault hes chosen to see Vivian as a competent person
and a member of the group but in the end she realy is brains man thru
and thru.
Brian: Jacks untarnished view of Brian being able to do no wrong has long shaken free and been replaced by a more pragmatic view of the man. Jack finds it difficult to stomach that Brian trys as hard as he can to keep from getting his hands dirty as if until recently he hadn't realy decide if he was in this or not. Aurther and Jack have discussed these concerns exstensively. Overall though Jack still respects Brian and thinks of him as the go to man. He thinks Brian has a good heart and is trying to do the right thing but gets blinded sometime along the away. But push come to Shove no one can Deny that qualms or not Brian hasn't been there for his friends each and everytime theve needed him and that's something that no matter how frustrated jack gets with Brian will brand the man a friend for life. He worrys about Brians growing 'War' with Milos and sees the two men as Mirrors to each other.
Milos: Jack used to think Milos maybe had the right ideas and was just going about them the wrong way. He felt Milos was to readily willing to abuse his power aginst peoples wills but that other then that maybe the man wanted good things for the survivers. However recently he has seen Milos becoming increasingly obsessed with competing with brian to the point of beginning madness. As well as Jack is starting to think the man is more concerned with power and seeing himself as a new GOD in the world. Jack feels this is a very dangerous road. He fears where Milos's ambitions will lead him. But he didn't truly think of the man as a threat until Milos actcidently/inadvertently threatened Jacks family.
Mandy: Jacks view of Mandy has changed radically over the last year. First he saw her as an Idealized hero from the plane A firefighter hero rescuer of people who could do no wrong.. then she killed and Jack saw her as human and vulnerable and though he couldn't reconcile what she did and her reasons for it. It has made his view of her more real and lead to a closer relationship then he would ever have had with her on the pedistle he first put her on. Lately Jack has loved watching her blossom into her own during the rescue work in Pakistan. Of us all she seems the most stable these days.
Aurther 1.0: Aurther is Jacks best friend how that happened is hard to
say. But he and Jack have been together one way or another for so long
having aurther there is a given. Hes already lost Aurther once when he
lost his memorys for the future. Jack feels protective of Aurther as if
he where a brother Jack could relate to better then his own brothers.
This is a far cry from the original opinion he held of the man
"PSYCHO!!!" Jack is very much worried about loosing Aurther again.
Aurther 2.0: Murdering Psycho, did you see the way he killed those Soilders without a second thought? Hes everything our Aurther has managed to leave behind.
Jacks State of mind:
Jack feels like hes drownding lately, Hes finaly starting to accept that he needs to take responsibility and step forward and be a "Kennedy" or whatever hes going to be. He wants to help and protect the survivers he wants to get to the bottom of what happened. He wants to see his government as his Ally not as his enemy. He wants to do good.. Do the Right thing.. but what the hell is that?? What way do we go what decisions do we make? What right do I have to be the one to take action to make decisions to take responsibility for others lives? Some how the answer "because you're a kennedy" just wares to thin to Jack.. Hes as frustrated with his actions always seeming to make things worse as he is with brains inaction. Jack is not sure what the right thing or right direction to go is. For once in his life he wants to take some responsibility and DO something improtiant.. But he finds his misspent youth poor training for accomplishing these goals.. maybe Father is right.. maybe it is time for a home coming.. but Jack finds it hard to believe that even the Mythic Senator Kennedy has the all inclusive right plan..
Jack feels torn between whos right is right. Is Brian right? Is Milos? Is Senator kennedy? Who has the answer? Whos cause should Jack back?
Jack finds himself pray for some devine stroke that will make him from Just Jack bennet into young Mr. Kennedy and while he waits with little hope of it happening he keeps trying to slug his way through the shit and not fuck up to bad as he trys to do the "right" thing. Why? Because.. what other choice is there?
Future Plot Arcs Ideas[edit]
The changes we make. Like, the first three arcs are he "establishing arcs" on some level, setting up the broad strokes of who the characters are and how they interact with the world, and after that we get into the "coming into our own for the first time" arc.
To my mind, that makes it the arc of positive changes and bettering the world before the fifth arc, wherein our enemies fuck us up the ass, only for us to win back to goodness in the sixth arc, but that's me.
What changes are the survivers making in the world. Not just us but all over. Now that everyone has had time to get home and time for there powers to begin to reveal themselves and to deal with immediate bigotry and then celebrity. Now I think its about time to see how the survivers are choosing to user their abilitys. Who fades into the wood work who fails tragicly who means well but accomplishes little and who moves mountains and erects great monuments for good or ill.
Then I think that just as we are realy getting into the groove of trying to make a difference some weird revliation about our origin would but a spin or twist on that of some kind.
The next arc would be about discovery of where we get our powers and what happened to us. Only to have said quest/introspection interuped by villains kicking our butts and what not.

The Reaper - “Angels of death In the Bible, death is viewed under form of an angel sent from God, a being deprived of all voluntary power. The "angel of the Lord" smites 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (II Kings xix. 35). "The destroyer" kills the first-born of the Egyptians (Ex. xii. 23), and the "destroying angel" ("mal'ak ha-mashḥit") rages among the people in Jerusalem (II Sam. xxiv. 15). In I Chronicle xxi. 15 the "angel of the Lord" is seen by King David standing "between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem." The biblical Book of Job (xxxiii. 22) uses the general term "destroyer" ("memitim"), which tradition has identified with "destroying angels" ("mal'ake Kabbalah") and Prov. xvi. 14 uses the term the "angels of death" ("mal'ake ha-mawet").

You're always wondering when the shoe is going to drop. You've got a good condo in Georgetown. You could have a car but there's no need with the transit. You're down in the Potomac Park tonight meeting a senator to "talk" about an issue you have... You've got some good info for your job at the Times and you're looking to get scoop. He's supposed to be around here soon, near that funky statue park thing called the Awakening. Looks like an old guy floundering and sinking in the ground - WEIRD. Where is Senator Chaffe?
- James "Truck" Hill: To open this issue you are James "Truck" Hill. You're one of the "soldiers" in the Lincoln Westmoreland crew. They call it a gang in DC, it's a brotherhood. You're with your boy "G-man" (Marcus Gunter) down in the park (Potomac Park) scopin for civilians that shouldn't outa be down here. You're a black guy, African America if you're a stuff white fuck, nigger if you're a dead man or my nigga if you're G-man. You think you saw some legs just back at the big ass hand stickin outa the ground (the Awakening statues). You like white bread, you're a killer, you like white meet... nice....
