idea (and

Name is a combination of Jon Ron, who is a real video producer
in the Raleigh NC area, plus Foul Old Ron from Terry Pratchett's
Discworld....I'm not sure how "Jack" got in there.

The character idea came from having to have a low end for the
Alarishi sovereignities' populations--the obvious low end is one
person.  Who would have a desire to be left alone, and enough
money to enforce it?  How about someone like George Lucas +
Robert Heinlein--that takes care of the money, and reading
Heinlein, you get the idea he wouldn't at all have minded having
a Beam 3 handy.

So Jack Old Ron writes and creates multimedia epics, and doesn't
take uninvited guests.	By the way, Oerjan, he's not a volunteer
for Defense Command--his Beam 3 and so forth cause his asteroid
to be listed as a Navigational Hazard.
