Powers And Abilities
________________________________________
Strengths:
Jaspar, like the rest of his species, has great strength and stamina compared to those of humans. Jaspar, especially, is built like a tank to compensate for his lack of powers. He is incredibly physically strong and can take a surprising amount of damage for someone that whines so much; he's not afraid to take hit either. He is also surprisingly quick on his feet for someone as big and bulky as he is.
All Demons have a chemical in their body fluids (e.g blood, saliva) which acts as a potent aphrodisiac in humans. This became known as SIN on Abraxas when the humans quickly discovered how dangerous this could be. Tolerance levels vary from person to person dependent on height, weight, sex, and genetic factors.
While a coward at heart, Jaspar will quite happily take damage for those he truly cares about; those these people are few and far between.
He is also a dab hand at poker.
Demons have the ability to heal far quicker than humans, this is most likely due to their proficiency at cell control and manipulation. Demons, using such power over their own internal mechanisms can tolerate many adverse conditions (though Jaspar less than most), as well as controlling their rate of aging. Jaspar currently opts to age at the same rate as his best friend, Sam, who just happens to be human.
Weaknesses:
The most notable of Jaspar's weakness are his lack of 'demonic powers'. All Demons on his planet have the ability to manipulate muscle matter (it has been rumored that the strongest of the species can manipulate other matter as well, but this is unconfirmed)
Your character’s weaknesses, faults and significant personality flaws go here.
Jaspar lost his powers when he was around 18 physically, when asked how, he will answer he lost them "in a poker game".
He is a complete and utter coward. He is not brave. He is not courageous, and he will run away from anything that he is scared of (including small animals, he has a terrible fear of them).
He smokes. Whilst this may not seem like a weakness, you may think again after hours of whining when he is in need of his nicotine fix.
Jaspar lacks... intellectual ability and is far from bright. He cannot read nor write and has a fairly limited vocabulary. He is a bit slow and sometimes fails to read tones of voice or other such subtle hints that may seem more apparent to others.
As Jaspar has aged irregularly for a Demon, it has been debated whether this could have caused some of his mental instability, but most likely stems from genetic factors passed down from his mother. Jaspar has been through a lot, and occassionally his happy-go-lucky exterior can slip.
His old Demon tendencies also sometimes slip through, such as aggression or disrespect towards humans as well as hissing and snarling like a wild animal.
Weapons And Equipment:
Jaspar carries no weapons, and if he were to fight, it would be with his fists. Or his feet. Or his forhead. Or throwing sand in his opponents face. He's not fussy and will fight dirty if he fancies.
Jaspar carries nothing but a packect of cigarrettes on his person. He was banned from carrying money.
Personal Information
________________________________________
Personality:
Oh jeeze...
At first glance Jaspar comes across as very egotisical, arrogant and selfish.
Which he is.
He is a coward and is not ashamed of this in the slightest.
Jaspar has quite a deep voice, and is arrogant in its tone but is also loud, whiny and has been known to throw childish temper tantrums when he can't get his own way; what a delightful manchild he is.
He can, however, be charming and suave when trying it on with a pretty girl... usually long enough to not put his foot in it.
Jaspar doesn't talk loads, but when he does, it's usually drivel or meaningless banter. Only occassionally will he say anything useful or profound, but at least this makes him amusing to talk with.
History:
Jaspar is a Prince of an extremely ancient family of Demons, the most powerful in his world’s solar system. It is a family built around tradition and blood sports, something that intrigued Jaspar throughout his childhood. However, as he grew older, he grew to hate his family due to a feud between them and a neighbouring family of humans and eventually ran away from home with the child from the neighbouring family to escape the madness that had gripped them for countless generations.
Once he ran away he earned a bounty on his head, and ever since has been persued by bounty hunters.
Years later Jaspar, Sam and the Bounty Hunter in tow fell into another world; Moonlight City and subsequently found themselves in a situation far grander than any of them could have imagined.
Meeting up with a mysterious man named Cainn, the four of them traversed the universes trying to find a way home and came across many unexpected trials along the way...

A short extract from Traversing Worlds. [(c) whathave you to Jenny Whiteside and Alexandra Tagkali]
“Huh.”
Jaspar stared at the floor of the world he found himself in intently.
“Sand,” he mumbled and flexed his feet as if he were barefoot. The heavy nature of his boots meant nothing much happened, but he closed his eyes and smiled as if he were remembering the feeling of his toes between the sand.
“Jaspar,” Sam breathed, “Look around!”
“Yeah, yeah in a minute...” Jaspar remained with his eyes closed, a soft smile on his face; not really caring about his surroundings.
“It’s... beautiful.”
“Yeah.”
They were standing on a golden beach; the grains of sand glistening in the blazing sun. Behind them stood a thick lush forest that lead to a murky darkness in which many a beast would be sure to hide. The trees themselves were extravagant, and neither Abraxian had seen any such foliage in their time, with colourful flowers growing in every direction as if groping for the sunlight in some kind of exotic dance; reds and oranges and yellows littering the canopy.
The ocean was a deep dark blue and its crystal clear waters lapped upon the shore gently, as if whispering to the forest about the things it had seen and done on its journey.
There was a gentle wind blowing that was warm and comforting, and took the edge off the burning heat of the sun. The sky was so clear and so bright that the reflections off the water and, to an extent, the golden sands were almost blinding. In the far distance the blue sky gave way to deep purples and greys and oranges on the horizon.
Sam squinted at the colours that were swirling in such an evocative manner, taking a few steps forward towards the water. He frowned, concerned, hoping and praying that the clouds would not advance.
“They’re so far away,” he muttered under his breath. “It looks like they’re on the other side of the world...”
“WOOOOOO!!” Jaspar suddenly yelled and shot past him, running into the water; shoes still on.
“JASPAR, COME ON!” Sam threw his arms up in the air in exasperation. “We don’t know if that’s safe!”
