Jahk of tricks

Every universe has a trickster, often immortal, and Levis is no different.

Jahk is a fey being most often spilled into the body of Nightbloom. With long, often well kept orange-red hair, and a deep red tentacles, Jahk completes the look with bright blue eyes that are almost cerulean. The fey often-man is often seen in many a guise or outfit but the thing that links them all is a pin of fresh kelp, no matter how far Jahk is from any source of water.

Jahk muscles into any moment he is involved in, whether that be through otherworldly intimidation, or through the more common affable charm, using guile and mischief to turn any situation to his advantage. One of the more fun 'props' the trickster uses is a long and gnarled cane - grown impossibly crooked, and yet of the perfect height to hold his weight when he leans on it - which he often does when he uses the cane.


The point of a good trick is that it gives a laugh or moment of wonder to someone - and while those who earn the ire of Jahk would say the person laughing is the fey being, the best of Jahk's displays play to an audience. The man or maybe woman plays the game for the thrill of it, bringing down the high or those abusing their power, and bringing up those with a need or at a disadvantage. Or sometimes messing with the rude.

It is said that when coming across Jahk it is always valuable to be polite, and to offer a tipple of whatever liquor comes to hand - and that sweet ambrosia will come whether you had some before or not. One should never trust an offered map by Jahk though, her smile is sweet but her maps are poison and too many have become lost or worse following a map to secret treasures or artifacts from the human realm.

What an interesting character. I love the detail of the fresh kelp.
