General Description & Personality Overview
Jackson is taller with a trim build. His brown hair is longer and allowed to do as it will, usually somewhat awry as he runs his hands through it out of habit. He sports a shadow of a beard and always seems to have a smile on his face. He favors Hawaiian shirts when on duty, unless he's in the show lounge, then it's dinner jacket and black bow tie, naturally.
Jackson is that guy, the one who seems easy to talk to, the man you've known all your life. He has an easygoing personality, a very keen sense of humour. He is also something of a practical joker, but his advice is always right on target.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths: He is very insightful, and his advice is good. He had a wide compassionate streak and is always willing to listen and help out where he can.
Weaknesses: Since he is everyone's friend, he sometimes misses the mark with his own problems. He's great at helping others out but often needs help with his own and doesn't ask, for fear of appearing weak.
Ambitions
To run a good bar, to stay alive, and have some adventures along the way.
Hobbies & Interests
He's a rabid baseball fan. He plays chess and has several long-distance games in progress. He is also working on a kal-toh sphere, and has been for several years now. He likes to think it teaches him patience. He also loves old Earth film noire movies and detective novels. Much to his patrons' delight, he is a master at bar napkin origami.
Personal History
Jackson Beauregard Banning V is the oldest of six boys born to Jackson IV and Dixie Mae in June of 2345. The family home is a large spread in Charleston, South Carolina, a plantation passed down through the family for generations. Most of his brothers are still there, running the family's distilling business where they produce small-barrel bourbon that is highly sought-after. Jackson, however, wanted adventure, and given his vast knowledge of alcohol, he decided to pair the two together and took to space as first a bartender, then bar manager.
