'Jack' was always different. Always smarter than everyone else around him, more athletic than the neighborhood children, and quick witted enough to make even the adults pause.
His sharp tongue both enamored his mother and enraged his father. Routine beatings were common as 'Jack' couldn't help but point out fallacies and hypocrisies in his father's words.
'Jack' did not care about the beatings, in fact he secretly reveled in the power he held. For while he was physically being hurt, he knew that mentally he was pushing his father close to a mental ledge.
As years went on, 'Jack' took to studying medical books on anatomy and psychology. He became more amd more aloof, choosing knowledge over human contact.
His father, meanwhile, had become a bitter drunk old man, the beatings on 'Jack' stopped as the effort only made 'Jack' more difficult to control. Instead, the mother got the fist. 'Jack' was elated. His mental games had broken his father, turning him into a shell of His former self.
'Jack' finally found himself around people. His success with his father pushing him to see what else he could do. Manipulation was his drug of choice. He'd talk best friends into fights, the most pious into sin. But nothing compared to what he did to his father.
The scene was spectacular. His mother lay on the bed, neck slit, sheer terror on her face. His dad stabbed himself, tears staining his face. Blood everywhere.
'Jack' took the time to slice open their bodies, finally seeing for himself what he had been studying in the medical texts. In his dreams, his mother's terrified face brought both peace and need. He needed to see it again, cause the fear again.
And so, he worked at night, terrifying the people of London. Bathing in both the fear and the blood of his victims. He got sloppy one night and chose the wrong victim. She wasn't a nightwalker and her husband was none to pleased.
The husband chased 'Jack' into a warehouse where he had disappeared. The terror caused by 'The Ripper' ended that night but the mystery remains.

Survivor
Name - Anika Gupta
Growing up in Delhi India is hard. The city boasts the highest crime percentage in the country. So when Anika's parents were killed in a robbery when she was 12, she learned to adapt.
Life was hard at first, foster homes turned out to be almost as bad as the streets. At her third home, where the foster father had an eye for the younger girls, Anoka ran away and got lost in the streets.
She managed to fall in with a powerful street gang, using them for protection as they used her for not-so legal jobs.
All the while she was learning and by the time she was 17, Anika had her own followers, bodyguards and friends, though she never let her guard down.
She gathered enough power to live a comfortable lifestyle, if not glamorous. Until one of her own flipped and brought the police down. Her bodyguards were trained to fight, but not think and in the ensuing shoot out, Anika lost her family again. In the chaos though she managed to flee from a hidden exit she had prepared just for such an occasion.
Despondant, Anika roamed the streets casing her safe houses to see if they were indeed safe. Unfortunately for her, a rival gang spotted her and gave chase.
Anika ran them to a highway. A driver saw her as she dashed in front of his car. Swerving to miss her, he collided with truck and the ensuing pile up ended in tragedy as seven people were killed. Anika's body was not among the dead.
