Name:Joseph Jakosik
Age: 1410 (Appears to be 30-ish)
Species: Human
Class: Wizard
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Occupation: Traveler/Conman/Showman/Inventor
Appearance:
Since his encounter with Angel Bob, he's Regenerated many, many times over, and well... he's gained a new face.
Joseph is a tall man, with an athletic but lanky build, brown hair, and brown eyes. Joseph often wears a rather plain button up shirt, sometimes with the sleeves rolled up, a vest, and a neck tie, with a pair of brown traveling pants and a pair of boots, for those long journeys, and has recently donned a brown trench coat. He always had a pair of black gloves on his hands, but got rid of his bow and arrows, feeling that they somehow got in the way. He always carries a bag that holds many of his things, more often than not books and ancient tomes. He, sadly enough, had forgone his fedora after his , attempting to whoo women and pull off cons with a certain charm. During the colder seasons, he'll adopt a scarf and a pair of earmuffs.
On his belt, he wears a sheaths for a knife for those fights where magic and arrows just won't work. On his gloves, there are thin metal plates on the underside, woven into the leather of the glove. This is for his little routine to block blades that he thinks he can block with his hands, since, in his words, "I think better with my hands than with a blade." For situations that blades can't help, he carries a large bore flintlock pistol that breaks open for easily removable rounds. He only has a few on him at a time, since making the bullets are very, very expensive, and he uses this as a last resort.
The fact that he looks thirty when he's actually almost nine hundred and ten is due to the fact that he had done a ritual when he was thirty to rejuvenate his entire body, practically adding years to his lifespan. Of course, he has to redo the ritual every five years, otherwise the effects will stop and he'll have to live out the rest of his sixty-seventy years; this process often scars his torso with burn-like marks. The spell's description said that the spell might change the physiology of the caster in the next "Regeneration". He was skeptical of this once. No longer.
Personality:
Joseph is, at first glance, a weirdly up-beat womanizing drunk with an eccentric attitude, though a bit thick on some things. But, deeper down, you'll see a sophisticated gentleman and a con man with a wide range of knowledge, from art to foreign languages willing to go far to get something out of his mark. He's done small and simple cons, like card tricks, to large and elaborate ponzi schemes. Of course, he's been wanted for these countless crimes, and has racked up quite the bounty, something he's rather proud of but not one to brag about.
As a wizard, Joseph has an extreme amount of intelligence and a great memory, which almost never works in he's heavily intoxicated; the only thing he can't forget is the spells he has engrained in his brain - though being drunk off his ass doesn't help his casting.
As a conman, Joseph will often try to pose as a magician, pulling off basic spells for quick and easy money, but may often use this as a cover to get close to a mark.
Being as old as he is, he often tries to find at least some positive aspects in the world, after he's seen so much evil. This mostly appears in the women he sleeps with, the drinking, and the cons he pulls.
If cornered, Joseph will fight, but he mainly prefers to run, avoiding confrontation. This isn't a testament to his fighting skills, but to him not revealing anything that could be used against him.
After Angel Bob had sent him back in time, he's developed a sort of... tired demeanor. He, at the beginning, chose to involve himself in the wars fought, thinking that he could make a difference in these battles. He could not, so after a while, he just stood on the sidelines, watching people kill each other for gains not their own. Because of this, he's developed a bit of a dislike for war, seeing it as useless. Then he started seeing what archeologists could only dream of, understanding things they didn't. And it made him laugh. Being a time traveler, he points and laughs at archeologists.
After gaining his new face, he's still angry that he didn't become ginger. He wanted to be ginger!
After
History:
When Joseph was young, he was trained by his father in the arts of being a Warlock. Of course, this wasn't the action that young Joseph wanted in his life. So he concocted a plan. When his father was summoning a demon from the underrealms, he purposefully ruined the ritual, summoning only a low level demon, but it was powerful enough to kill his father as Joseph ran with all the belongings he had.
A few weeks later, he was found by a traveling con artist convoy, who took him in and taught him everything he knew about the trade. Soon, he managed to gain the hold of some magical tomes, finding that he had a talent with the learning of the magics that he had found. But later, at the age of thirty, he found a ritual that would extend his life. At first, he used it as a way to help him learn more about magic, but soon it became an occurance that he found himself using every five years if only to "extend his learning ability".
He used to fight for a cause, killing many in the name of that cause, but he had left that life behind when he was forced to kill his men in the field. It was then he took to the drinking.
So far with his life, he's conned many a time, slept with many daughters, and attractive women in general, and he's drank himself into many a stupor, only to wake up with a hangover worse than the last. He's always looking for a new con to pull, a new woman to sleep with, and another bottle to climb into. Though dark forces are on the horizon, and he's started to take notice. There may be days ahead where he'll have to fight more and more.
After Angel Bob sent him back in time, he experienced and learned more than he could possibly imagine, and more so. Now, he plans to teach Jake, and any others worthy, Olde Magic.
