Personality-
Jack is possibly one of the most balanced people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. He believes a lot in the ritual of karma, meaning if he does anything bad, then bad things will happen to him. However if he does good things, then he will be rewarded. It is this balance between the good and bad that helps maintain his life because he feels he cannot choose one side and must have a moral compass that sits directly in the middle.
Because of his reclusive nature and job, he has very few friends and very little social skills to help him in life. He isn't lonely because he feels it is other people's loss for not getting to know him. He has difficulty connecting when it comes to the emotions of others since he spends hours at a time sitting in front of a screen.
Jack is a horrible loser and an even worse winner. He will rub it in your face at every moment if he wins, but if he loses he will throw constant tantrums of rage. He does have anger management issues and because of this people often find it hard to be his friend. Deep down, Jack is just clinging to his lost childhood and goes about doing this by acting like a child and playing games.
His ADD has affected his personality greatly and often means he loses focus on things very easily. He will often miss out on major topics of conversations because he was busy doing something else at the time. It seems that the only place where he can keep steady concentration is with his computer games. This is probably because of how fun and entertaining he finds the so-called sport

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Even though he is powerless he still has skills which help him through the day.
First, he is a video game addict and as such these games have enhanced his own awareness and reflexes though he is still unsure of what to do with them, besides play video games. He mainly uses them to climb the ranks of the Pro-Gaming League or the PGL for short. He gets payed for sponsorships and magazine deals and so is technically making his money by being a kid.
And then of course years living by himself has taught him how to fend for himself. He is capable of cooking as well as a little DIY, though he isn't really an expert in such a field.
Limits-
Okay, so he's a pro-gamer; that doesn't mean he's the best one out there. There is bound to be someone better out there and when he loses to them, he will throw one of his anger fits which will cause him to throw stuff around and scream. There's also the fact that video games means that Jack is constantly living a fairytale and cannot get a good grip on reality.
So he can cook. He ain't the best in the world, and I won't even tell you how many times he's poisoned himself when trying to cook for himself
Appearance-
Jack is just like any average man of his age. He maintains a healthy height at 5'8'' and with proper diet has managed to keep his weight level at a somewhat balanced 172lbs. His hair is constantly curly to the point where it can no longer be straightened. It used to be a golden blonde when he was younger but as he grew older it became a chestnut brown. His eyes are perfectly shaped and come out as an electric blue.
Jack doesn't pay much attention to what he wears and his clothing will most likely consist of a pair of jeans, a pair of Converse, a baseball cap, and a T-shirt with some kind of witty slogan on it. He prefers bland colours like grey and whites because they make him blend in with the crowds.

History- From a young age, Jack always knew he was the black sheep of the family, even with his inherited intelligence. He wasn't nurtured as much as a child due to the manifestation of his older sister's abilities, which seemed to leave him behind to fester whilst everyone else continued to grow. He knew that he really shouldn't have expected much from his own life from such a young age.
Jack was like everyone else in his family, destined for success, but it seemed that Jack's ADD would kick in and prevent him living out a normal yet successful life. His ADD had manifested due to excessive amounts of his sister's ability radiating onto him. From there on out it was really hard to grasp his attention.
At school, he was simply deemed to be the weird kid due to his high IQ. It seemed that he was destined to live a life which didn't belong to him. Due to the fact that he had poor concentration, he ended up failing every one of his exams, meaning he was not eligible to attend universities or colleges. His parents, however, could have not cared less for him at this difficult time, and instead of supporting him they kicked him out of the house.
From there, he migrated to New York and for the first few months found himself poor and living on the streets. It wasn't until he found a youth centre willing to put up with him that he found some sort of break. From here, he picked his life back up. At the youth center there was an assortment of consoles to help youths ease into their new lives. This was his first time ever that he played a computer console and he quickly found himself not only addicted to them, but also good at playing them.
He entered a consoles tournament where he won dramatically. He was officially the best gamer within a five block radius. That was only the start, for Jack decided to enter more of these tournaments to test his skill and also to raise money.
Ten years later, and we see that Jack is still a video game addict but now thanks to taking on as many contests as he could, he has increased his reputation in the Pro-Gaming universe and has earned a substantial amount of money. He is now one of the contenders for the next World Cyber Games and is being sponsored by Sony™ which is further increasing his rep and money.
Anything else?- Jack, like all Pro-gamers, has a room in his apartment dedicated to his job. It is mainly a metallic room with a Gaming chair as well as a 50 inch plasma hanging on the wall connected to some of the most advanced gaming systems like PS3 and the 360. Apart from that, he has a large closet in the room where he stores his multiple games and controllers for different games. He is sponsored by Sony and is one of the contenders for the next World Cyber Games.

Sample RP-
Head down. Eyes up. Console to face. Fingers in correct position. Screen adjusted to his own eye level. It seemed that the level of precision needed for his job was detailed to a point that he had become a diva. Not so much that he was throwing temper tantrums left right and centre, but to the point where he had to have everything perfect, the way he wanted it to be. And if he couldn't get it like that then his mind would most likely become distracted by another task that was in need of being completed.
He clenched his hands tightly around the controls in front of him, his eyes not lifting from the screen. A few flickers appeared on his screen before his eyes could adjust to where he actually was in this gaming world. Whether he was a fictional character or not didn't matter to him; after all, reality was not in his own domain. He was the king of the virtual realm, yet felt so powerless in real life.
It was a wonder why he wandered out of his house like this. His game pad clutched in his hand as if to play a game, his head lowered down to duck and dive out of the way of others should he notice them. He took several turns with his hands still fixed on the controller, making turns in unison. People would have regarded him a nutjob; too bad they couldn't get to know the insanity inside the man.
