==Personal Details==
It was a cruel fate that JB should fade from memory, though that's not even his name.
 
He claims to have memories of living all over the world, most notably North America. In his least lucid moments he thinks his name is Jack. Or John, or James or Jimmy. Since he spends most of his days at various bars bragging about half remembered heroics, many patrons dubbed him Bob, short for "Big ol' Blusterer." The people he has helped over the last few years have come to call him simply JB, a combination of both names. This has given the ancient hero an identity to cling to. He claims to feel much more like himself these days, even if he's unsure who he actually is.  

What he does know is that he has a fire in his belly. A love for life itself and the passion to live it. 


Although he can only glimpse fragments of his past, he has in fact lived through millennia. His mind has eroded and crumbled under the strain of countless memories from hundreds of lives, though some traits hold true. He hates being shackled and will always fight to live on his own terms. He has a big personality and a bigger heart.

On bad days he doesn't even remember who he is, and can be found reveling in one vice after another. Other days he mourns everything he lost, and drowns his sorrows in a river of ale.

Sometimes... when he can be reminded of who he really is, that spark of adventure can be reignited. A glimpse of who he used to be will surface as he charges forward toward one heroic deed or another... for what is life without a worthy cause to back or a great challenge to face?

==Aspect Details==
'''High Concept''' "Defiant Drunken Demigod"<br>
Whether or not he is what he claims, there is no doubt that JB possesses abilities far beyond that of a mortal... and an ego worthy of a god. He bucks authority or attempts to control him, believing men and women are best when personally working toward their goals. He is often found turning to booze and other vices, but it's unclear if this is to hide from painful memories or to mourn the ones that are missing..<br>
'''Invoke''' when doing implausible heroics like the tales of old, when drinking or resisting the urge to drink, when standing up against authority.<br>
'''Compel''' to have him be drunk at the wrong time, to have his aversion to authority get himi into trouble.<br>


'''Trouble'''"Millenia of Mantles"<br>
Through fragments of broken memories, one thing is painfully clear to JB... he's not what he once was. 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.<br>
Being drawn to that power is one thing... but it also makes Lody worry about becoming a calculating, power hungry Aesir like most of his brethren  He feels the Although his new name helpes, JB need's needs to reclaim his lost memories to feel whole again. 
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 Ol' Stormalong he will claim that those deeds were really his.
<br>
'''Invoke''' When trying to recall something from his past when trying to reclaim his lost identities.<br>
'''Compel''' to have him prioritize seeking his past over his friends, to have him 'recall' incorrect or misleading information from his past, to have him confused as the current scene echoes a dramatic scene from his past.<br>


'''Aspect''' "Larger Than Life"<br> 
Folk Heroes are exaggerated for a reason. JB 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 he does resort to subterfuge and trickery, rarely does the deed go unsung. If the JB 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>
'''Invoke''' when being obvious, making a spectacle of himself or doing something over the top when a much simpler plan would do. when his his physical size and girth would be an advantage<br>
'''Compel''' to have his attempts at subtlety fail, to have his bragging rub people the wrong way, to have his bragging reach the wrong ears and warrant revenge, to have his size and weight be a hindrance. <br>


'''Aspect''' "Man of the Little People" <br>
JB is a man of the people. He enjoys working with his hands and the simple pleasures in life. That is probably why he has taken a liking to the Lost Court and the Cleaning Sprites Union. Both groups are marginalized or being taken advantage of and are fighting back against the authorities. He has helped both groups out in some sticky situations and is generally on good terms with both communities. He's even shared drinks with a few members of the Tangle. JB often frequents bars and pubs in the Second Hand Market to support the Goblins's businesses. <br>
'''Invoke''' to get tipped off by his contacts in these groups, when trying to help them out, or for his reputation among either group help him out in a social situation.
'''Compel''' to have either group come to him in need at an inopportune time, to his association with such 'common folk' be a roadblock when dealing with authorities' <br>
