Jesper Alyeras
Jesper Alyeras
Jesper was unceremoniously dropped on the stoop of the Sun Fields orphanage, left with nothing but a strange crystal around his neck. While he didn't fit in well for many years, he eventually found a few close friends. As he got older, a strange voice began to reach out to him, originating from the crystal necklace. Soon after, he formally met the voice, a Dao genie named Kar'dun. Kar'dun gave Jesper a small amount of power and requested he set out from his home in search of greater things. Despite his better judgment, Jesper left his old life behind and went on cross-country journey of exploring and scamming.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Jesper is quite short and has an unimpressive physique overall. He isn't particularly strong in any way, though his hands have grown quite long and nimble from practicing card tricks and magic.
Body Features
Jesper has several cheap, dark red tattoos of trees and waves on his back.
Facial Features
Jesper has a boyish face with clay-brown eyes, and there is a faint scar across his forehead into his left eyebrow. Despite being a young adult, he is incapable of growing facial hair beyond a horrendous goatee and mustache.
Identifying Characteristics
One of Jesper's most identifying physical traits is the long red streak of hair on his head, poorly dyed but maintained reasonably well.
Special abilities
Kar'dun's power gives Jesper several unique abilities, especially focused towards stone and crystal.
Apparel & Accessories
Jesper wears a few layers of fine loose-fitting, comfortable clothes, consisting of a white undershirt, red overshirt and scarf, which is all topped off with studded leather he only wears out of necessity. In the freezing north, he tops off his normal attire with layers of furs for extra warmth. His most notable accessory is a quartz necklace that glows with power when he uses magic.
Specialized Equipment
Jesper has been practicing a number of card tricks to run scams with, but when he messes them up, he just fixes the mistake with magic. In combat, he primarily uses eldritch blast to displace opponents and large utility spells to give himself the advantage, typically to escape.
