____Background (-15)____
John Gilmore grew up on the bad side of San Francisco. By
his teenage years he'd gotten into a culture of mysticism
and the occult in the Haight-Ashbury. On his 16th birthday
John attempted a ritual to summon the fire demon Ralkazan.
With his slight -- though personally exaggerated -- skill he
managed to bind Ralkazan, but only because the demon had
been weakened from a recent battle in his home dimension.
John was able to fuse some of the demon's power into his own
body, granting him psychic powers that are still increasing
to this day. With his new abilities, John was able to get
out of the ghetto and start his own PI agency. Now at age
23, John dreams of the "big break" -- the case that will
catapult him to fame and fortune. In the meantime he's
content to help those in need, for a nominal fee of course.
____Description (-15)____
A young, flame-haired man who dresses in a nondescript suit
and slacks, with his "lucky" worn trenchcoat on top. He is
usually carefully coifed, with short, slick hair and utterly
clean shaven. He typically wears a signet ring showing
flames, and several silver chains.
____Personality (-15)____
Arrogant and cock-sure, John is certain of his abilities and
never admits to a mistake. When it comes to physical
conflict, John is a bit of a coward, and that's about the
only thing that can make him step down. John frequently
claims to get secret messages from the spiritual world.
