Jack (Type-0)

Jack is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0, and one of the main characters of the same game. He is attributed the number 11 in Class Zero.

Appearance and Personality
Jack is a young man with coiffed blond hair and wears a Class Zero uniform that consists of a black jacket, white pants, and a medium-sized red cape. He also wears a belt around his waist, allowing him to perform the act of sheathing and unsheathing his katana.

He seems to always have a smile and is able to make wise-cracks easily. In dangerous surroundings and near-death experiences, he encourages his peers to take it easy.

Story
Jack is a young man who is a member of Class Zero, a group of students from the Peristylium Suzaku, the Magic Academy of the nation of Rubrum, that fight the invasion of Rubrum by the Milites Empire. As part of the resistance operation "Operation Apostle", he and his comrades seek to become the Agito, a messiah prophesied in ancient mythology to appear at the time of Finis, an apocalyptic calamity.

As he is dying with the others near the end, Jack continues to exhibit his exuberance and tries to cheer up his classmates to ease their fear of death.

In the alternate ending caused by Arecia's removal of the crystals from Oriense's history, Jack lives his life at the Peristylium with the rest of the members in Class Zero. Jack plays the drums in a group comprised of himself, Trey, and King. When they decide to skip practice he protests, but eventually goes along with them, saying he doesn't want to be left out.

In Battle
Jack fights using a Katana. Jack's movement with his weapon summoned is very slow but his play style is heavily involved with timed, lightning-fast sword strikes. His special ability Forsake is sort of a fake-out attack where he appears to surrender, but then throws his weapon into an enemy. His Furious Red Snowstorm unleashes a lethal attack against multiple enemies, but brings his HP to 1.
