General Appearance: Jack is usually up to date with the current trends of the wizarding world but he does not particularly care what he wears. He does like to dress nicely but he prefers comfort over style. His favorite colors to wear are bright colors like green and light blue, but it all just depends on his mood. When it comes to his hairstyle, again, it depends on his mood. His hair is curly when it is long and during the winter time he can be found for long curly hair down to about his neckline, sometimes in a pony tail or slicked back. During the summer he usually shaves his head to keep cool. He stands at a pretty tall six foot one and weights around one eighty so he is a pretty good sized guy. He likes to keep in shape by running so he has a pretty athletic body.

General Personality: Jack could be described as someone who has a lot of potential but does not want to use it. He has all the qualities of a leader but he does not want to be put into that position. Usually he is very friendly and easy to get along with but he has his days, like everyone, where he only wants to be left alone. He is almost hypocritical in the fact that he does not want to be a leader, yet he is the first to react when someone needs his help. He cannot stand by and watch as someone is bullied or picked on, it is just not something he likes. He will thrust himself into a situation of danger without thinking twice to help someone, not caring whether he lives or dies. He is very adventurous, sometimes getting bored and deciding to try new things. He has searched for every mystery that Hogwarts has to offer and still looks for new mysteries to this day. He is a self proclaimed adrenaline junkie and loves high stakes situations.
H I S T O R YFamily Information: Ben Wickim: Father: Broom maker
Angela Wickim: Mother: Broom Maker
Sam Wickim: Brother: Scientist
Carrie Wickim: Sister: N/A
Childhood: Being the child of two broom makers was not exactly a childhood filled with wealth, but it would be foolish to say he lived a poor childhood. The Wickim family lived in a very nice house and lived a pretty average life. Jack usually got what he wanted, but he was not spoiled. His parents made sure he did things right and Jack usually liked to do the right thing. The only problem he had growing up was his huge appreciation for all things dangerous. Ben and Angela had to constantly keep an eye on Jack because he was always looking for trouble in the form of doing dangerous things. When he was very little he would climb cabinets and try and get as high as he could or he would break out of the house and go exploring. He was not like his brother Sam who was scared of everything. They were polar opposites in that category.
Hogwarts: Hogwarts was a great time for Jack because he got to explore a lot. He pretty much knew how to handle situations now so he did not put himself in bad situations, though he did get detention a lot because of sneaking out after hours. He made a name for himself as one of the most dangerous students to hang out with because not only did he thrive on doing dangerous things, he was also pretty persuasive and would often convince his friends to do things with him. Besides being dumb in school, he made average grades but was no standout in anything. He did best in spell classes like Charms and DADA, but struggled in classes like Potions.
Adulthood: While at school he decided becoming an auror was the best fit for him. During his last two years at Hogwarts he buckled down and began to study harder and practice magic more so that he could accomplish his new dream. After he graduated he applied to become an auror but did not receive word back. Crushed he decided he would work for his parents at their broom shop but still keeps his dreams of becoming an auror alive.
Short Roleplay: Jack sat quietly at his desk with his feet propped up and his chair sitting on two legs. His mother would have thrown a fit if she saw him sitting like that, but sometimes he did it without even knowing he was doing it. It was how he sat when he was thinking and lately he had been doing a lot of that. Most of his days were filled with boredom and repitition and it had been bothering him lately. He wondered what had happened to himself, why he had gone from being the wild and adventerous kid to the guy sitting behind a desk at a broom maker shop?
He let out a sigh and he reached into his pocket and he pulled out his wand and he tapped it on his leg. He was feeling a little trapped, like this was going to be his life from now on. He began to get jittery thinking that he was going to turn into the same old wizard that everyone sees now days. He dreamed of fighting dark wizards and going to mysterious places when he was at Hogwarts, now he had to wear dress clothing and be professional all day long. It was enough to drive him crazy.
Sighing he removed his feet and he let the legs hit the floor. He looked over the sheet his father had left him to go over that day. Looking at it he realized this was not the life he wanted to live. He could not feel like this for the rest of his life. Standing up he decided he was done, he did not want to let his parents down but he knew that they knew it was coming. He had to much energy, too much potetnial to be sitting around at a desk all day. He was going to get that job as an auror no matter what the cost.
