Biography/Background: Jack Barakat was born in Lebanon and raised in Maryland. Jack’s family life was a good one, just like average American families. His parents didn’t have many expectations from Jack, just the fact that he needed to finish high school and become someone professional. However, Jack had different ideas. He began to play guitar and formed a band with his best friends. When his parents found out, they weren’t too pleased. Jack tried to explain to them, that he liked what he was doing. He had no intention to become a lawyer or doctor. Everything he loved was found through playing guitar and music. Not knowing what to do, Jack’s parents banned him from playing his guitar and gave him another chance. But nothing could stop Jack from doing what he loved most. Jack was determined to make the band work. He would borrow other people’s guitars and practiced late at night. Yet, Jack’s parents found out again and that was the last straw for him. They packed up Jack’s things and applied for him to attend Cambridge Academy. Cambridge Academy is the only place where Jack will be able to ‘pull his acts together’ and prove to his parents, that he is able to set up a future for himself.
RP Sample:
“It’s not the same anymore Zack” Jack shrugged and ran a hand through his week old hair. The boy sighed and forced himself off the couch before making his way to the mirror hanging above the mantel piece. Jack stood there and looked into the mirror. He smirked at his raunchy appearance; oily hair, eye bags from the lack of sleep, tears stained cheeks from the eyeliner and mascara. His shirt was stained with puke and it had been a week since Jack last had a shower.
“Come one, come all and take a look at how Jack Barakat managed to fuck up his life again, watch him lose sight of the man he once was. You’re all in time to witness his break down. And then for the finale, watch as he lets go of the person he truly cared for, truly loved, truly valued, the ‘wind beneath his fucking wings’… ” He joked, forcing a fake laugh.
Jack bit his lip hard, trying hard to blink away the tears. He wasn’t going to fall vulnerable in front of his friend. Jack had to be the one who made a joke about everything; there was no ‘serious Jack Barakat’…not until he was alone. “Ladies and gentleman…watch what happens when Jack Barakat falls in love…” Jack whispered and couldn’t help but watch as a tear fell from his face through the mirror reflection.

Jack cringed when he heard his phone ring. “Leave me alone!” He hissed as he saw the caller I.D on his phone screen. Jack sighed at how he was always able to get himself into some sort of mess or trouble. A week had past already but yet she called him every minute of every hour of every fucking day that went by. Jack tried being nice to her at first. He told her it was only a one night fling, he was bored and was looking for some fun, but Jack did not by any means want to start a relationship. He pressed the call button and took in a deep breath,
“Look! How many times do I have to tell you, leave me the fuck alone and that I am not interested in anything to do with you anymore!” He screamed and threw the phone across the room. The phone collided with the wall and broke into pieces. Jack smirked to himself and felt satisfied with his efforts. “Finally, Jack Barakat wins” Jack grinned, feeling very smug. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. “JACK BARAKAT I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE! NOW OPEN UP!” The boy whimpered and fell to the floor. Next time, Jack would just hang himself instead.

Reason for being sent Niihau: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Biography: Jack Barakat was born and grew up in Maryland. As a child, he was seen as slow and stupid. He found it hard to study and learn which caused teachers to see him hopeless case. They didn’t want anything to do with Jack. It seemed like all of them blamed Jack for his problem. No matter how happy or bubbly Jack was, he was constantly picked on and got into trouble for his hyper personality.
Jack’s case was so bad, that the doctors put him on Ritalin at the age of eight, which made him calmer but had very bad side effects. No longer was Jack the vivacious boy he once was, instead he became isolated and depressed. He constantly suffered from nervousness and insomnia. Jack’s parents saw the problem and didn’t know what to do, until they came up with the idea of giving Jack a guitar.
Everything changed for Jack when he got his first guitar. He wouldn’t touch it at first, but slowly the boy came out of his shell and began to play. It wasn’t easy for Jack but he soon got the hang of it and was able to get off his Ritalin. From then on, Jack was subject to change. He could express himself, go out, and concentrate better... Because of Jack’s enormous improvement, being sent to Niihau would enable Jack for a bigger challenge;
To enjoy life in a world different to the one he was used to.


RP Examples: Jack cringed when he heard his phone ring. “Leave me alone!” He hissed as he saw the caller I.D on his phone screen. Jack sighed at how he was always able to get himself into some sort of mess or trouble. Things weren’t meant to be like this, not meant to go this far.
A week had past already but yet she called him every minute of every hour of every fucking day that went by. Jack tried being nice to her at first. He told her it was only a one night fling, he was bored and was looking for some fun, but Jack did not by any means want to start a relationship. Jack was still young; he wanted to enjoy his freedom; which meant no attachments. He wanted to be able to go out with friends and hit on other girls or guys, but the girl on the other side of the line however didn’t seem to get it. Jack pressed the call button and took in a deep breath,
“Look! How many times do I have to tell you, leave me the fuck alone and that I am not interested in anything to do with you anymore!” He screamed and threw the phone across the room. The phone collided with the wall and broke into pieces. Jack smirked to himself and felt satisfied with his efforts. The room became totally silent, causing Jack to be at peace. “Finally, Jack Barakat wins” Jack grinned, feeling very smug. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. “JACK BARAKAT I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE! NOW OPEN UP!” The boy whimpered and fell to the floor. Next time, Jack would just hang himself instead.
