*Working Stiff: Jasen works as a graveyard shift janitor at the UC Prospect campus library, Wyldman Hall. It's his version of working at his dealer's place, he's a total bibliophile and uses work as an excuse to read all night while performing menial yet important labor. 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.

*Burn the Witch!: Yep, he's a witch, or at the very least he'd consider himself as such, though he'd argue against the idea of being a good witch. He hasn't accomplished much and he bumbles through most things all on his own, figuring out magic by trial and error and a ton of studying. His particular source of knowledge comes from books he probably shouldn't have, not evil lore exactly, but blood magic can't be good for the not-so-undead persuasion.

*Worst Luck Ever: Okay maybe that's an exaggeration but his luck still isn't all that great. He's pretty damned accident prone, even when he seems like he should be perfectly safe something is bound to go wrong for him in some weird chain reaction of annoyance.

*Gutter Punk Kinfolk: Jasen's a Bone Gnawer Kinfolk, and as such that comes with a few perks. 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.

*Unlikely Artist: 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.

*Bad World View: Ever since getting kicked in the face by that digital leprechaun, Jasen's been seeing multiple planes of existence all at once. 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.
