=Name= Albert Jacobs ==Profession== Drifter ==Stats:== GOOD Physique ABOVE-AVERAGE Mental Fortitude ABOVE-AVERAGE Awareness AVERAGE Co-ordination AVERAGE Empathy POOR Reasoning ==Motivation== Your Own Personal Demons ==Background== Albert used to live a simple, hard-working life as a farmer in a out-of-the-way valley in New England, raising cattle and tilling the ground just like his father and grandfather before him. The work was hard and money was scarce, but Albert was content with his lot, taking satisfaction in honest work and in his wife and his two sons. Then there came a bad summer, full of rumours of hauntings and growing madness. Albert saw his wife grow deranged and needing to be put in an asylum, saw his formerly hale and hearty sons wither away in some strange disease, saw the crops he had spent his life growing come out of the ground wrong. One night, between the trees in the nearby forest, he saw... something... that had no place in a sane universe. He fled, then. From what he heard later, things in the valley got far, far worse after he left. Now he wanders around in a permanent daze, trying not to think too much, taking work where he can get it and trying to stay ahead of something he can't quite name. All he is sure of is that something is wrong with the world. Maybe something was always wrong with it, from before the time humans first learned to work the soil. He feels, vaguely, that someone ought to do something about that. ==Loved Ones== - Sister Katrina, formerly Jill Jacobs, Albert's sister. A Trappistine nun living at a convent in Massachusetts. Was always somewhat estranged from her family for leaving the family business, but worries about her brother and considers him a lost soul who she is called upon to save if she can. - Henry Fields, a shoe salesman in North Dakota, long-time friend (through correspondence) of Albert. He feels sorry for Albert who he considers a good fellow who had a bad turn in life and went a little funny in the head because of it. He tries to keep him in good cheer through his letters and occasionally lends him small sums of money when his own finances allows.
