Jasper Morgan

From Shahara

Revision as of 03:20, 15 June 2007

As my existence continues on, the more I long to see a day when war is declared, and nobody shows up... Every war I've ever seen- and I've seen quite a few, kid- was ultimately foolish. No matter the cause, no matter what they told you in history class, there has never been a good war..

History

Despite being one of the handful of people that escaped from the Deadlands of Hekaitor -after- the nukes fell, very little is actually known about Jasper Morgan in any database. It is known that he was the orphan son of a famous and influential priest of Pelor in that country, and that he was being groomed to follow in his adoptive father's footsteps.. But after that it gets kind of sketchy. For fifteen years he survived in one of Hekaitor's underground apocalypse bunkers, which were rumored to have enough supplies to hold entire towns for decades. And yet, once he came forth from the bunkers and managed to escape to Sharaha on a barely functioning oil tanker, he seemed to have gone entirely under the radar- along with every other survivor, this is attributed to the fact that he arrived in Sharaha on the exact same date the Upheaval began.

Personality

Morgan is a bit of an enigma given the social history and psychological background of your average Hekaitorian. He displays virtually none of the carefully cultivated outlooks, beliefs, or mannerisms that are attributed to the people of that country. Indeed, he is almost the absolute opposite of Hekaitor's ideals of psychological perfection; he is rude, constantly angry, unpleasant, foul mouthed, inclined to speak his true feelings about anything at any time, and downright murderous in some situations. How such an extreme change could come to anyone raised in a Hekaitor environment is a mystery, but many psychiatrists theorize that it has something to do with a lack of constant enforcement of Hekaitorian psych laws and the fact that his homeland is an irradiated wasteland.

Current Activities

Due to his temper and his tendency towards disregarding law in favor of following his own beliefs, Jasper is technically a criminal. Though he has no official criminal record, police -know- he's capable of committing particularly gruesome murders, smokes, and various misdemeanors. Perhaps the only reason he hasn't been jailed yet is because he's 'unofficially' gotten rid of some even worse threats to society. But that also means he has to be on the road a lot, to avoid officials in high places who don't care that he's balanced out his bad with good. He has a tendency to show up where he's least wanted but most needed, or vice versa, to fix what he sees as a problem- whether people like it or not.
