He pulls a second job at The Crypt nightclub, usually tending bar or doing paperwork. Anybody could be forgiven for just thinking he's only an employee there.''

He has a natural affinity with your garden variety city rats, knows neat tricks for staying safe and fed on the streets, and of course there's the whole being related to giant rage beasts thing which is always super handy. Ridiculously tribeist, Jasen views Gnawers as the only people worth knowing, and keeps his mortal life and overall standards pretty damned low, generally consorting with other gutter dwellers and frequenting low brow establishments. He's kicked most of his drug habits but still drinks quite a bit and still gets into bar fights. He packs a wrench and a very durable walking cane, wears his sourness on his sleeve, and is generally just kind of a douchebag.''

<font color=orange>'''*Unlikely Artist:'''</font> ''Linguistic understanding comes very naturally to Jasen, whether it's the spoken kind or the musical kind. Put something with strings in his hands and he can figure out how to play it, and play it well. His forte in instruments are the cello, the bass guitar, and the piano, but he can rock a banjo or a shovel just as well. He doesn't sing, but he can speak a ton of languages and loves learning them. Both of these things he shares with the world in exchange for money, be it busking musically in a park or selling language lessons.''

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.''

Not only does this make for a lot of difficulty both handling the sight of and interacting with the world around him, he has no fucking clue how to turn it off. As a result, he comes off mad as a hatter some times, acts and reacts according to things most other people can't see, and just generally looking down a lot and refusing to witness the insanity around him. Spirit Sight may be a merit, but for him it's a terrible burden.''
