“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”
– Freidrich Nietzsche
Overview
Mortal: Easily overlooked and barely noticeable most of the time. A very few people might be aware that he is a gunsmith who can customize and make firearms.
Lost: John is a quiet man who often lurks in shadows and doesn't speak up often. He's hard to spot, unless he intends to be seen. When he is seen, his mantle is quite stark, and his flesh seems to be almost translucently pale, a stark contrast to the black clothing he almost exclusively wears.
RP Hooks
All:
- If you do the research and seek out someone who can make or improve your weapons in Fort Brunsett or Tamarack, you'll eventually find your way to John.
- He is occasionally found in the woods, target-shooting.
- He grew up in a military family, travelling to different bases all over the country, from 1974-2012 or so. You might have known him (or his fetch!) if you've done the same.
- He spends a lot of time quietly watching people, and some say he's into Eastern philosophy or meditation.
- If you've a fear of monsters, or have encountered those who have--hobs and hedgebeasts specifically--it's rumored that calling on Shadowfire will give you strength.
- If you or a family member have been *saved* from a monster, it may have been by a shadowy figure with a pale face who appeared as if out of nowhere and shot it to death with pistols. Just sayin'.
- Occasionally, he can be found drinking quietly to excess or consuming various sorts of drugs, but he tends to be subtle about it.
- He really, really likes Chinese food.
Lost-Specific:
- John occasionally makes it known that he can help crafters make things, and that he works metal of all sorts.
- Winter Court members may have heard of him, a quiet master crafter and hedgespun weaver of metal and shadow, who has been moving around when his "worship" became too widespread of a thing for the comfort of the Court in other Freeholds he has lived in.
- John has a passionate interest in tales of different kinds of hedgebeasts and hobs, their behavior and their weaknesses, if any. He'll share what he knows with almost anyone, especially if they're a hunter-type.
