Jasen/Hooks

*Working Stiff: Jasen works as a graveyard shift janitor at the UC Prospect campus library, Wyldman Hall. He also owns and operates the Crypt nightclub, although he typically seems like nothing more than a bartender. Jasen also busks for money in various parks playing music, and sells his skills in linguistics.

*Burn the Witch!: He considers himself a witch, practicing archaic blood magic. Medieval alchemy, old school wizard enchanting, that kind of thing. He's not very good, zero formal training to speak of, he mostly blunders his way through his magical education alone.

*Worst Luck Ever: Okay maybe that's an exaggeration but his luck still isn't all that great. He's pretty damned accident prone, even when he seems like he should be perfectly safe, something is bound to go wrong for him in some weird chain reaction of annoyance.

*Gutter Punk Kinfolk: Jasen's a Bone Gnawer Kinfolk, he has a natural affinity with rats and can even speak to them. Extremely tribeist, he's die hard in love with his tribe and he's 110% loyal to his family over anything else in the world. If he knew Ratkin, they'd be considered family too, most likely.

*Momma: Jasen worships the Rat totem, leaning heavily towards the Momma Rat aspect. He mothers after his tribemates fiercely, acting as a sort of Bone Gnawer bank, takes care of the local tribe colony, and makes sure his Gnawer family has everything they need to be healthy and happy without judgement or attempts to subvert their natural place in the urban jungle. Stray dogs, cats, and most especially rats can count on him for free food, warmth, and healing just as much as any bum on the street can. Everyone in the dust and grime that's looked down on by the rest of the city has a friend in Jasen.

*Linguist: Do you need to know a dead language? Want to impress your friends by flawlessly saying those ridiculously long Welsh names? Need something translated? Jasen's your guy. A little cash and a bottle of Irish whiskey will get your text discreetly and efficiently translated. If he doesn't know the language, he'll figure it out in record time.

*Bad World View: Jasen has Spirit Sight and no ability to turn it off. Seeing every plane of existence at once is, to put it mildly, extremely disconcerting. He acts and reacts to things most people can't see, often times coming off either mad as a hatter or just awkward and weird at the very least. It may be a merit, but for him it's a definite burden.
