Description of Jack Sparrow....

[fajrdrako]

A wonderful description, I thought, of Jack from sennuyer on pirategasm in her story and the ground shuddered with you:

Jack Sparrow seemed to ruin and repair everything he touched. Every bit and piece he placed his dirty hands upon turned to ashes and molded to gold and Will wasn't sure whether to hate him for it or respect it....

That's why I like Jack: the incongruities and paradoxes. He fumbles, and comes out on top. He takes risks, fails, then wins. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a leap and a fall. Lucky bumbler, or clever schemer? Take your pick.
