“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 mail-order esoteric books and music shop that catered to the quiet, intellectual occultist and obscure music aficionado. Given the proper motivation, he could conceivably go back into business. His occasionally dreamy, out-of-focus personality belies a razor-sharp wit, and John is far more perceptive than generally given credit for.

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: Give sanity a longer leash, some of us have sharper teeth.
  • Shifters: The tenderness of wolves.
  • Vampires: Under shivering stars the sickness is gliding.
  • Sorcerers: Seduce, let loose the vision and the void.
  • Psychics: See the future leaking through.
  • Mages: At the heart of it all.
  • Wraiths: Who should I say is calling?
