“For I am I...my own sphinx, conflict, chaos, vortex — asymmetric to all rhythms, oblique to all paths. I am the prism between black and white: mine own unison in duality.” - Austin Osman Spare
Biography John's freshly landed in Prospect, direct from Chicago. Until recently, he operated a small mailorder esoteric books and music shop called UnPopular Books. It catered to the quiet, intellectual occultist and obscure music aficionado, and given the proper motivation, he could conceivably go back into business. His often dreamy, out-of-focus personality belies a razor-sharp wit, and John is far more perceptive than generally given credit for. Contacts RP Hooks Occultism: He's rumored to have a stash of media that he hoards; a library of supposed renown. Perhaps he will share with you? Fortune-Telling: He does it - to rather eerie and uncomfortable effect. He's no charlatan. Industrial Subculture: He's neck-deep in it. He'll deign to go to Neofolk/pagan and Goth events, too. Problem-Solver: Got an enigma to deal with? Perhaps a conundrum? He's brilliant with puzzles. Books and Music: Like weird books and weirder music? So does John. Stereotypes Changelings: Yes, please. Shifters: Allow him to consult his Jungian archetypes. The tenderness of wolves! Vampires: Only the psychic kind. Again, Jung! Sorcerers: Never in a million years. JUST KIDDING. Gold IS the metal with the strongest shoulders. Psychics: Sure. Why not? Mages: At the heart of it all.
