-------------------------------

Personality: Jack has a very sweet and friendly nature, though he sometimes tends to be a little too naive to believing others and it's very easy to talk him over. He is rather oblivious and doesn't always realize if he's been tricked or if someone is being dishonest, because he always wants to see the good in others and accept them, even with all of their flaws. At the same time, Jack has a great sense of humor and a love for adventures, and he loves to explore the forests that surround his house.

Likes: Music, listening to his owner play guitar, his family, Kuro, outdoors, exploring.

Dislikes: Thunder storms, fighting, being lied to, bears.

Story:  Jack was the second oldest child of Kodi and Meri. He was adopted by a young musician, who had come to Alaska to search for inspiration for his work, and they moved to a log cabin in the woods next to a beautiful lake, still not too far from Nome so Jack could visit his family. Jack was a very curious pup, and once found his owner's harmonica and started playing with it. His owner saw this, and sat down starting to play the harmonica, Jack really liked the music and curled up into his lap, and from that moment on, he developed a love for music. He would lay down next to his chair while he played his guitar and composed music, and sometimes even offered some vocals by howling. One day, when he was out exploring the vast forests around their home, he came across a wolf pup, around his age, who had gotten his leg caught in a bear trap, and was in a great deal of pain. Jack rushed to get his owner, who took the wolf pup home, and treated his leg, but since he seemed to have no parents, Jack's owner decided to keep the wolf pup, naming him Kuro, after his black fur. Jack and Kuro quickly became best friends, always playing together and exploring the woods and sharing pretty much everything, always having each other's backs. Then came the day, that they were both all grown up, and Kuro realized it was time for him to move on, since he was a wild animal and didn't belong in a human's house. Jack tried to convince him not to leave, but Kuro promised him that they'd see each other again, thanked him for everything he'd done for him, and then went on his way. Jack was sad to see his friend leave, and missed him for a good while, but some months later, while he was taking a stroll in the woods, he suddenly ran into a badly beat up Kuro. Jack was shocked, and insisted to know what had happened to him, but Kuro kept arguing that the less he knew, the better for him. Finally, after having to force the truth out of him, Jack learned that Kuro had gotten in trouble with a nasty group of rogues, who were lead by a very large and vicios wolf by the name Victor, who apparently was keeping a small valley in his cruel iron grip. Apparently Kuro had stolen some food from Victor's storage, his henchmen had caught him and were now after him. He insisted that Jack wouldn't get involved in it, as he didn't want his friend to get hurt, but Jack refused to leave him in trouble, and wanted to help him. However, the poor lad had no idea what he was about to get himself into...
