Name: Jasper de Montchrestien
Age: 19
Race: d’Angeline
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Not a beauty by d’Angeline standards or any other, Jasper nevertheless possesses something that draws the eye. He seems a creature of sharp edges and intensity. His movements are quick and controlled, utilitarian rather than graceful, and his self-possession belies his youth. The gaze of his deep grey eyes is unnervingly intent and accentuated by the silver-framed spectacles that glint in whatever light they happen to catch.
History
Jasper keeps the details of his past to himself, claiming an unremarkable family background and the freedom of relative anonymity in the city. In truth, the heir to a very minor noble, his determination to pursue anything as vulgar as a profession has led to a certain amount of tension between himself and his parents. Not that there wasn’t tension there already, given his enduring artistic obsessions and his determined neglect of his duties and responsibilities.
When a distant relation died and left him a small inheritance, he took the money and fled to the City of Elua, hoping to establish himself an artist. After some months of grand intentions, wild hopes and utter failure, he was forced to begin offering his services as a Marquist to the Night Court. Despite his lack of a formal apprenticeship and his brusque ways, his skill and devotion to his craft are evident and his reputation is growing day by day. He has just saved enough to open a small shop in Night’s Doorstep from which he can ply what has come to be his trade.
He has kept his family name in the hope it will open doors to him that might otherwise be closed, but he knows he little deserves it and has made no attempt to heal the breach between himself and his parents. He considers himself, above all else, an artist.
