Character Information

Summary

"Saint" George believes himself called by the Dragonslayer itself to hunt the things that lurk in the Shadows. Less a criminal himself and more a bounty hunter, George hunts infected and shadow spirits that prey on the innocent. He's aware that many Infected find themselves among the shadows, and believes in his heart of hearts that they are the darker nobles, a counterpoint to himself, in the endless hunt against all manner of horrors, such as shadow spirits, mindless ghouls, and the like.

He is also incredibly naive and will, more or less, believe the best of people until he is faced with incontrovertible truth to the contrary.

Goals

  • Establish himself among the Shadowhaven. Allies in the fight against the Dark is important
  • Upgrade his bike before he destroys it
  • Spread Hope!
  • Hunt larger and larger prey in order to be The Strongest Ever.

Background

Born and raised in Seattle, Jason Whittacker awoke when the Dragonslayer tapped him on the shoulder, commanding him into the night to hunt the monsters that hide there. Unfortunately for him, that occurred after having been in the wrong place at the wrong time - an interrupted vampire feeding. The newly minted adept found himself moving with speeds never thought of before, though he was unable to save the child before it passed.

That was five years ago.

Five years ago, he was unable to save anyone, let alone himself. A no-one kid from nowhere, it wasn't until the Dragonslayer laid his blessings upon him that he found the beginning of his skill in blades and his ability to find and ferret out shadow spirits and the darker things on the astral plane. During one of his earlier run ins, holding his own but more or less outclassed, he met Anna Van Der Pelt who took the young adept under her wing. His naivete, further, allowed her to steer him towards projects and tasks that, as his training and magical powers and aptitude deepened, furthered her own goals. Knowing that the surest way to break her new toy would be to send George on the wrong kinds of jobs, Van Der Pelt opted to save him for obvious hooder runs, monster hunts, and the like.

If nothing else, she makes money and the world has fewer monsters; but make no mistake, she is manipulating him to her own ends. After one or two run ins with infected like Blackhawk, George has realized that not all of them are monsters and some, in fact, hunt those monsters as well. With a few solid hooding runs and a few less shadow spirits, Van Der Pelt felt her new shadow hunter was ready to enter the Haven.

Symbols and Signatures

When using his adept powers, the black Full Body Armor flares with magical power and there is the impression of a far more older style of armor - what stands out is the ephemeral white tabard with the bright red cross bisecting it which seems to flow around him as he moves.

George stands out even on a run by his complete lack of firearms - opting instead for a pair of blades - a seemingly antique rapier and main gauche brimming with magic.

Appearance

Clothing

When not on the job, George has put together enough scratch from bounty hunting ghouls for a decent enough suit, though it's probably seen better days.

On the job, however, he is never without his armor and swords as well as the shifting ruthium cloak.

Matrix Persona

"George" - a matrix icon that amounts to jeans as a counter-culture tee shirt.
