Jack Highroad

TL 11

Advantages: Racial Memory (Active), Rank 3 (Survey Service), Combat Reflexes. Fearless +5
Disadvantages: Duty (Survey Service)
Skills: Pilot!, Mechanic!, Planetology, Blade!, Guns!
Quirks: Suffering from reincarnation fatigue
Searching for novel experiences

Jack is a pilot of the first human vessel to bridge the gap between the spiral arms of the galaxy and a bit of mystery to his crewmates. He doesn't seem to take the possibility that he might personally die at all seriously, joking about how he could use a nap, and they've noticed he seems to know facts about Old Earth that were lost in the Long Night. Whether he's making it up or not is a matter of some debate among them.
