“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 Eloise Cross 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. Esoteric Media: Like weird books and weirder music? So does John. He could probably even sell you some. Stereotypes Changelings: Excess makes the heart grow fonder. Shifters: The tenderness of wolves. Vampires: Under shivering stars the sickness is gliding. Sorcerers: I don't believe in destroying good mysteries or adding to bad reputations. Psychics: See the future leaking through. Mages: At the heart of it all. Wraiths: Blow wilder than the wind.
