Forgotten Freedom:Jam
Jam
CG Human Illusionist 4 (Forbidden schools: Evocation, Conjury)
One Rajah, the greatest of all, was sealed into a human bloodline. Or so Jam will tell you, if you let him. Actually, he'll tell you anyway, even if you aren't listening. He is, of course, speaking about himself. He's extremely bold as long as he feels safe, and amazingly cowardly otherwise.
Jam would like to steer the crew to mildly more wholesome activities, but sadly he's not very good at it. His off-hand comments tend to only suggest things to the other members. A typical example might be, "Y'know, if we were to drop large blocks of ice over the side, the villagers might think it was hailing. Er, but we shouldn't do that. Someone might get hurt. Hey, don't do that. I'll reduce you to ash with my infinite power if you don't listen to me! Ow! Okay, fine, I'll let you get away with it this time, but I won't alway be so understanding..." At which point he will run and hide. Amazing how strong he will claim to be when he doesn't have to demonstrate his lack of just about any useful combat spell.
Jam's inept attempts to reform the crew have won him no useful friends, and if it weren't for his amazing ability to stabilize, he'd long be dead. On one notable night, his drink had two poisons in it, his food a third, he sat on a knife (several times), fell into a wall (again, several times), and cut his throat while 'shaving' so badly that he nearly bled to death.
The crew, though, is slowly becoming used to the sight of a meek, scared, and scarred deckhand stopping his mopping of the deck to cast some odd little spell or spit up some more fodder for their plots, before threatening them if they use his ideas and hiding somewhere. The fact that he claims to be the king of evil doesn't bother most of the crew, given their daily lives and companions.
