CHARACTER
One Eyed Jack
M-02
----------
Archtype: Elven Physical Adept Assassin
Description:
One-eyed Jack (hereafter just Jack) is a devilishly handsome (Cha 8)
of strong muscular stature (think Asmodeus handsome). His dark features
and hair only augment this demonic look. When in control of a situation
(in his turf, with superior numbers at home, etc) he will often be wearing
a blood red silk shirt and black leather pants. His long black duster
is polished til it gleams. Over his right eye he wears a black eye patch
that is inscribed with various mystic runes (nothing magical, just pretty
pictures). Jack has his eyes burned out when he was once caught, since
then he has replaced them with cyber- one real looking and one that is
a chrome plate (typical samurai eye) which he keeps covered with a fine
cloth mesh through which he can see fine.
Jack is an assassin born and bred. His past is unknown since a
former master had him trained and his mind wiped. He has most of the
standard physical adept power, a little stealth, a little athletics,
a decent degree of speed, and incredible senses. He has been taught one
unique power that he calls "Steel." When he induces this state, all
his emotions are put on a back burner. (Treat this like the drug Deadhead
in the FASA novels). While under this power he has added resistance to
emotion based attacks (fear, compulsion, etc.) as well as a scary
disposition. Since his former master's death, Jack has hooked up with
a Chicago based group of assassin's, known quaintly as the Guild. Within
this group he initiated into their group. Now on his own, he has become
a hired assassin who leaves a monofilament edged playing card as his
calling card. Regardless of how he kills them, he typically leaves one of
these cards behind with a slit throat.
