Charecter Profile: The Bartender of the Damned.
Releasing this to celebrate. I'm *done* with the editing portion. Huzzah! Now to convert it from a word document to HTML into the fiction template. ::groans::
Jackson Miles, Bartender of the Damned.
Jackson Miles is the owner of the Yankee Rose, a modest sized bar in the small town of Talon Bluff, located near the Appalachian mountains in Tennessee. He normally appears to mundanes as a human male in his mid-40's. There are few mundanes that frequent the bar, and Talon Bluff is a community made of mostly of therianthropes, mages, and Tigeareans. There are mundanes that live there, they just don't frequent the bar that often. The bar itself is an old brick structure built in the early 1800's and has been refurbished every couple decades or so to keep up with the various codes and improvements in technology.
Jackson it in reality over 800 years old, and is one of the few numbered among the intellegent undead. He was cursed by an extraordinarily powerful mage back in the 1400s for assisting the Inquistion in rooting out the area's mages and therianthropes. The mage burst into the inn that he was bar tending at the time, and the mage cursed him on the spot before casting a spell that killed the inquisitioners and every patron in the Inn along with himself. Jackson found that his body had died, but that it never started to decay. In addition, he found that even though his body was dead, his mind kept going, and he was able to move his body as well as he ever could. The local Mai council gave him the title "Bartender of the Damned" when they discovered that neither the curse nor the explosion killed him. Over time he gained a magical ability to disguise himself as among the living, and as the centuries progressed he bacame a gifted potion maker. He also redeemed himself to the magi, and even though he was formally forgiven in 1680, he requested that he keep the curse, as he stated "I'm dead... and loving it!" They shrugged and declared "So be it. Your life will be tied to the Nexus. When he dies, so shall you." He spent the next 50 years seeking out the nexus, and he then bought the land that the Yankee Rose stands on.
Jackson has the ability to disguise himself as a human of any age between 30 and 90. He is a master potions master, and can create just about any effect desired. This trait also makes him a master brewer, and he often brews up new batches of mead or beer with random effects just for the hell of it to see what happens. The curse also gifted him with True sight, and can see through all illusions and disguising effects. This ability is always on.
As an unaging undead, Jackson does not grow old, or tired. He does, however, meditate to keep his mind centered. He calls this period of time his "sleep time". Any damage he takes will generally heal itself in no more then 48 hours. He cannot regenerate limbs, but he can reattach severed limbs, which will reattach and heal themselves upon reattachment. He's been robbed a few times, but the robbers are always found the next morning tied up and hanging from the lamp pole outside the police station with a note attached to them stating what they've done. the robbers are always dumbfounded and confess to attempting to rob the bar, but can not explain how or why they failed. This is due to Mile's Terrify effect, which reveals the true horror and Hell that he is in to the victim of the effect.
