The weight of millennia has eroded JB's mind and he has trouble remembering details or telling fact from fiction. When he hears the folktales of Paul Bunyan or John Henry he will claim that those deeds were really his. That could simply be the effect of centuries of booze and other vices finally taking their toll.<br> |

That hole inside himself... that absence... can be very frustrating for the ancient man. At times he feels the pain of loss so much that he'll do anything to fill it. On top of that... he seems to have some sort of connection to the primordial energies of old. It's why he's in Baton Rouge. Something important is here... he just doesn't know what... or where. <br> |

Lody suppresses this as much as he can and worries that if he doggedly seeks this ancient power he might end up losing himself in the process.<br> |

− | + | The Aesir are not known for their modesty. They prefer to tackle obstacles in the most dramatic of fashion like an epic fight or battle of wits... stuff the poets would sing about for ages. When the do resort to subterfuge and trickery, rarely does the deed go unsung. If the Lody doesn't reveal his plot to his enemies to rub salt in the wound they will likely hear about it from his drunken boasting as he makes sure his legacy is remembered.<br> | |

− | + | Lody has crossed paths with the authorities during his various exploits... and a couple of the times he was even on the right side of the law. He's also made some friends among the criminal underbelly of Baton Rouge. I mean, when your only appreciable skill is beating people up your options for meaningful employment are pretty slim. | |
