John's freshly landed in Prospect, direct from Chicago. Until recently, he operated a small mail-order esoteric books and music shop that catered to the quiet, intellectual occultist and obscure music aficionado. He's expanded those talents by assuming proprietorship of Off the Record, a local media shop and cafe. His occasionally dreamy, out-of-focus personality belies a razor-sharp wit, and John is far more perceptive than generally given credit for.

“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 been in Prospect about a year, now. He's assumed proprietorship of Off the Record, a local media shop and cafe that caters to the quiet, intellectual occultist and obscure music aficionado. His occasionally dreamy, out-of-focus personality belies a razor-sharp wit, and John is far more perceptive than generally given credit for. Recently, he has been being tutored by Stella Amunet; given that he doesn't attend college at all, this could be seen as kind of an unusual arrangement.

  • 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.

  • Psychics: See the future leaking through.
  • Mages: At the heart of it all.
