Basic Info

Name:	Colonel Jack O'Neill
Birthdate:	01-23

Bio

Character Name: Jonathan J. “Jack” O'Neill
Series: Stargate SG-1
Gender: Male
Age: 52
Sexuality: ~~Don't Ask Don't Tell.~~ Straight.

Species: Human

Appearance: Jack stands a bit over six feet tall. He's tall and lean and relatively handsome considering his age. His hair is cut short in a typical military style – it's gray on the top and white on the sides. Though his hair was originally brown. He carries many scars from a long military career but the most notable one is a scar through his left eyebrow. His typical attire is green military BDUs with a black undershirt. Over that he often wears a black tactical vest that carries his radio and other general issue supplies(i.e. MREs, fire starting kit, basic first-aid kit).

Personality: Much of Jack's life was shaped by pain and loss but he's used humor to help buffer that pain. His greatest pain was the lost of his son, who accidentally shot himself with Jack's personal gun. That marked the darkest part of Jack's life it wasn't until after the events of the first Abydos mission, he took a turn toward the more humorous side of his nature. He made a conscious decision to make the most of his life from then on. That said, he's never completely forgave himself for the death of his son.
He is irreverent toward authority... well, irreverent toward everything, but mostly authority. One of the core aspects of his personality is his “leave no one behind” philosophy. This sometimes make him brave to the point of stupidity. He'll do whatever it takes to get his people, his friends, his loved ones, safe and more importantly, free. His leadership skills come from a “lead by example” out look. He'd never ask anyone under his command to do anything he wasn't prepared to do himself. He can also be a bit short-tempered but that is usually in the face of pressure and great odds against him.
Jack is very intelligent, but chooses come off dumber than he is. In many ways this works to his advantage, causing his enemies to underestimate him.

Abilities:
He carries the Ancient Gene making it possible for him to activate and control(sometimes without his knowledge) the technology of the Ancients.
Beyond typical Air-Force training, Jack has black ops experience and training. He holds numerous medals and other acknowledgements of exceptional service to the U.S. Military. He is an excellent marksmen and decent in hand-to-hand combat. He is also strongly resistant to torture. He is an expert military strategist and best and making the most of a dire situation if not completely turning it around in his favor.
He is quick to learn new weapons. His favored weapon being the P-90 but he is also proficient with the MP-5 and his beretta side-arm as well as a number types of alien weaponry, such as Zat guns and Staff weapons..

Manhattanite or outsider? Outsider

History: Jack is career military. He joined the U.S. Air Force academy out of High School. He went on to become highly recognized and distinguished throughout his military career, earning numerous honors and medals.
Sometime in the 1980s, he was sent in on an “unofficial mission” over the boarders of Iraq. His 'chute opened late causing him to break both his legs and probably a few other bones. It was during this mission he got left behind by his unit. He was captured and imprisoned for four months, until he was able to free himself and escape. After that, he vowed never to leave anyone from his own command behind.
A few years later, his son accidentally shot himself with Jack's personal weapon. This devastated the man. Because of that, he was willing to take on an apparent suicide mission for the U.S. Air Force; by that time he had achieved the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Air force. That mission was his first step through the Stargate. Along with Dr. Daniel Jackson, the person who deciphered the 'gate and got it to work, as well as a hand picked team of soldiers. The planet the arrived on was called Abydos. His mission was to assess the threat to earth and if found, send the rest of the team back through the Stargate then stay behind to detonate a nuclear bomb to destroy the 'gate. Things didn't go entirely as planned when an alien posing as the god Ra showed up in a space ship. Long story short, during that mission with the urging of both Daniel Jackson and his own sympathy for the children of the planet especially a boy named Skaara, did Jack disregard his orders in order to save Abydos from Ra. Using the nuke to take out both Ra and his ship. Daniel decided to remain behind on the planet while Jack and the remaining members of his team returned to earth. Jack then was not entirely truthful in his report upon his return home. He reported that both Ra and the Abydos Stargate was destroyed and Daniel Jackson killed.
A year later, Jack is called out of retirement after hostile aliens came through the Stargate. He soon has to admit that his report was not entirely accurate. Deciding to speak up when told they were going to send another bomb to Abydos. He was then charged with a new mission of going back to retrieve Daniel. He was joined on this mission by the surviving members of the first as well as a Capt. Samantha Carter. Upon returning to the planet to a warm welcome, Daniel informed them that the Stargate went to other worlds and not just to Abydos. While Daniel took Jack and the others to show them the list of addresses he found, their camp was attacked. Daniel's wife and Skaara abducted by the same aliens that came to earth. Luckily, one of Jack's team saw the Stargate address.
After returning to earth, before it was decided what to do. Jack and Daniel renewed their friendship with the mutual bond of having lost someone close to them. They both vowed to do what it took to get them back.
On the next mission, it's learned that both Daniel's wife and Skaara were taken as host by a parasitic race known as the Goa'uld. The same alien race that spawned Ra. They pose as gods to enslave and use humans for their own needs. In short, the Goa'uld are a megalomaniac evil race. During that mission Jack recruits one of the enemy soldiers, a Jaffa named Teal'c.
Soon after they all return to earth they form a unit called SG-1, comprised from Colonel O'Neill, Dr. Jackson, Carter and Teal'c. They are charged with the mission going through the Stargate to seek out new technology and allies to aid in the fight against the Goa'uld and other hostile alien races. Through their many missions together they have formed a strong bond together, becoming something of a surrogate family for each other.
During one of their early missions Jack had the “Repository of the Ancients” downloaded into his brain. His brain was barely able to cope with the scope of the knowledge as it started to overwrite his own. Before it could kill him under the strain, he was able to use the knowledge to contact an alien race called the Asgard. The Asgard were able to help him by erasing the knowledge from his mind, thus saving his life. Among the Asgard, Jack quickly became a legend and hailed as a significant step forward for the human race. The Asgard refer to him as the most advanced human they have ever come across. They even named a battle ship after him, short lived as it was.
Six years after that first mission, Daniel Jackson was exposed to radiation while saving an alien planet. On his death bed, Daniel was able to communicate with Jack and express his desire to die so that he could ascend to a higher plane of existence. It took time for Jack to be convinced. By this time Daniel had become Jack's best friend and not someone he wanted to lose. However, finally he respected Daniel's wishes and let him die. It was a blow for Jack, nearly as bad as losing his own son again.
The team was able to continue on with their work, finally gaining a new team member. Though Daniel was sorely missed.
Later Jack was infected with a incurable virus. He was presented with an alternative, to become a host to a Tok'ra, another race of symbiotes that were fundamentally opposed to the Goa'uld. They offered to use their natural regenerative powers to save Jack and once healed the Tok'ra Kanan was to leave Jack's body for another host. However, things did not go as planned. Kanan embarked on the rescue of a girlfriend left behind with the Goa'uld Ba'al. This too didn't go as planned, Kanan died while Jack was captured by Ba'al. He was then tortured to death repetitively for information. Daniel appeared to him in this time, whom Jack thought was a hallucination. Daniel offered Jack ascension but Jack refused, instead challenging Daniel to use his powers to help him escape. Rules of the ascended prevented him from helping but eventually Daniel found a way to help in his own way. With that Jack was able to escape and SG-1 was able to come to his rescue.
Further unfortunate events passed leading to the destruction of Abydos at the hands of Anubis. Most were able to ascend and live on in another plane.
In an attempt to find The Lost City, a place of great power that could be used to defeat Anubis, SG-1 happened upon a descended Daniel with no memories of his past. Eventually his memories returned. Jack regained his old friend.
In their struggle against Anubis, they came across a new form of super-soldier used by him. While searching for a way to defeat these soldiers Daniel was kidnapped by rebels in Central America. Meanwhile, the rest of the team infiltrated Anubis' fortress. Save for Jack who was dispatched to Central America to retrieve Daniel. Jack is taken from a few minutes after he found Daniel.
