Think You Know my Avatar?


(The Voki website wouldn't let me publish this avatar without purchasing something, so I just took a screenshot!)

The character seen above is Jack Swanson. He is the member of some form of crime investigation agency. Jack is a cold-hearted and pragmatic man. He's not the easiest to get a long with, but his ruthless nature makes him an incredible crime-scene investigator. While to the other people in his unit believe him to be emotionless, he takes every case personally.
As his story develops in whatever game he could be placed in, we would find out why he does what he does. One night in Jack's freshman year of high school, he came home from a friends house only to discover both parents brutally murdered. The investigation that followed found the man responsible, however through some error in the justice system, he was let free. Using the money his parents left him, Jack entered crime scene investigating school and took a personal vendetta to never let this happen to anyone else. His past experiences combined with the rough nature of his job has hardened him over the years, but Jack still feels a deep emotional connection to solving the mysteries he is presented with.
Clearly this character belongs in a mature game. I picture him being effectively inserted into a game similar to Heavy Rain where the game isn't necessarily about shooting, but more about solving a mystery. His character has lots of room to develop and he has a past that can be brought up. These values make a story driven game ideal for Jack Swanson.
