Profile
Jack Burton, trucker extraordinaire, has been hauling, boozing, and gambling his way across the country. He'll tell anyone who'll listen a story about having been caught up in the wildest Chinatown gang war he's ever seen in his time on God's green Earth--but what he's been far less ready to tell--until he's well in his cups--is that he thinks he hasn't seen the last of those crazy bastards...or that they're even the worst mothers he'll run into.

Sheet
Description
Description:
The man's build is athletic, with bare, well-toned arms and a chest barely covered by a white tank-top featuring a faded design of a Chinese figure and yin-yang symbol. The shirt is tucked into a pair of dark blue jeans, which themselves are tucked into knee-high leather boots buttoned up along the outside of each leg.
History
Personality
Personality:
Stumbling into luck: Jack's kind of a moron, i.e. not the brightest bulb, and even when he's not acting foolishly headstrong, he often misunderstands the world beyond the specific circumstances of his own life. In fact, more often than not he manages to fumble and bumble his way into lucky break after lucky break--or, just as frequently, he misinterprets someone else's hard work (that indirectly benefited him) as his own hard-won and well-deserved success.
Well-intentioned: Despite being a headstrong idiot, Jack ultimately IS a pretty good guy. He's not out to harm others but instead just wants to make a living. When he sees problems affecting others, he tends to step in and try to help (regardless of any relevant skill Jack might need to overcome said problems). This, of course, leads him to new hardship of his own, and the "headstrong but lucky bastard" paradigm is maintained.
Abilities
Reflexes:
Skills
Dirty Fighting:
For all of his talk, Jack actually is a pretty skilled street fighter. There's as much chaos as discipline in his technique, and he's entirely unafraid of heading into a skirmish to fight as dirty as he possibly can--whatever it takes to win the fight.
Streetwise:
Jack is highly learned in the way of the road, of the street, of the CB radio. He knows guys that know guys that know guys. Jack can get his hands on a lot of goods and find information tough for others to hear about. Sometimes, that information is completely wrong. Sometimes, his deals land him in the wrong back alley on the wrong dark and stormy night. But, all the same, Jack knows how to navigate his way out of the problem...usually.
Truck Driving:
Resources
Friend Network:
Jack has a network of friends all across the country, as a result of his years hauling cargo. Nearly any city has someone he knows by name as an acquaintance, and more than that in some places. For example, in San Francisco, he is an honorary member of the Chang Sings, and is known as a hero in the Chinatown community there.
