Oh, Jack is an easy one!
1. sex, 2. sex, 3. sex, 4. sex, 5. sex. :D

Well, okay. One more time, more seriously.

1. Jack is extroverted and doesn't mince matters. If he's got to say something, he'll say it without thinking twice, and he won't hide his thoughts or feelings - on the contrary, he feels the need to inform the general public about anything that's bothering him. He doesn't hold back his anger or sex drive.
As a consequence, he lacks any sense for tact and can't lie, mostly because he doesn't see the need to do so. Also, he really isn't good at empathy and his own needs always come first.
The only thing he doesn't show is hurt, because Jack's too proud to admit that someone is able to hurt him.

2. Jack's very single-minded, and his skills are limited to the physical level more than the intellectual. He is very sensual and has a more than healthy sex drive, over which he has little to no control, as he never learned to be patient or hold back his needs. (His complete lack of self-discipline might be the reason why being at another man's mercy turns him on so much. ;)
He prefers communicating through his body to words, and he is almost permantely in need of getting touched or at least to be watched.
The concepts of shame and personal space are alien to him.

3. Jack knows he looks good, and he knows that he's a natural entertainer and good at putting on a show - and to him, that is everything that matters in life. He's not arrogant, he just knows what he's worth! XD
His body is his capital, and he loves it and treats it with care.

4. Jack is born for a life in luxury. He wants it and physically craves it, it excites him more than anything else. He has no interest in money itself, but the spending of money (or better, the wasting of horrendous amounts of money) for expensive things, especially clothes and jewelry. Jack believes that expensive presents are a sign of worshipping and show how precious he himself is, and a diamond touching his skin is a feeling close to orgasm to him.

5. Jack needs attention. He needs the crowd, he needs to be seen, photographed, filmed, worshipped and adored. He's very prone to compliments and flattering, ready to believe that he himself is very special and more worth than others, so he's easily manipulated.
In his vain and superficial nature, he is not able to see behind the facade and to realize that a life in fame, luxury and sex is shallow and not completely fulfilling, and he doesn't realize that he's lonely.
Jack needs someone to love him for what he is, with all his faults, like Yusei. Yet a single person can never satisfy his needs.

Jack, why so complex? XD

Rudger is going to be a bit shorter.
1. Rudger is an intelligent man, yet he is very pragmatic and likes to keep conflicts and problems simple, and to provide simple solutions. He's very decisive.
2. He is stubborn and determined, and a bit short-tempered and direct. He is not one to spare someone the hurt with a nice lie.
3. He knows he's good-looking, is more than a bit vain and he has a healthy sex drive, although he's more grown-up than Jack and can control himself (when he has to). Due to his attractiveness, he's more of a macho and likes to keep his relationships on a superficial level.
3. Yet he is not as self-centered as he appears to be, being a bit of an asshole just makes things easier sometimes.
5. In fact, he's rather afraid to get too attached to someone. Expressing emotions is not really what he's good at and he hates things to become difficult - also, he's not the gentle type and very much in denial about his own feelings.
Even with his brother, he can't openly show that he loves him.
The worst part is that he's in love with Dr. Fudo, and can't take rejection. As the doctor is only playing games with him, he grows to hate him more and more, yet the more he hates him, the more he wants and craves him.
