Description

Name: Jess Valentine / Jesse Sexton
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 1,92m / 6'3.6''

Original World: Parallios, a world similar to our earth but stuck in the 19th century, the era of Industrial Revolution, Victorian clothes and seemingly impossible inventions.
Medical research is quite advanced for its time, enabling people who lost their limbs to have them replaced with fairly developed protheses. Same for organs.
This technology is only available in the capital city, Babylonia - also called the City of Science, though.

Status Points:
Atk 10 | Int 5 | Def 5 | Aim 20 | Agi 10 | Kno 20
World-Union: Vidofnir

Personality: One can say that Jesse might have the typical traits of a pianist, for instance, ambition and diligence. Being punctual, calm, disciplined and creative is surely helpful to become a famous one as well. Not that fame would have been his main motivation but his affection for this particular instrument and its own world of music.
On the other hand, there is no much love left for the rest of humanity, although he enjoyed a decent education with mannerism and politeness as main subjects. There simply was no room for morals. He does not mind being brutal and cruel, not at all.
Due to the fact that his twin brother was the only one he could talk to, he does not allow anybody else to be very close to him and prefers to tell as much as he wants to tell, that is, what people need to know, not what they don't need to know. He certainly comes off cold at first sight, maybe even frigid because he does not share his own kind of humour with many people and favours working alone.
Generally, he distrusts anyone except himself and his brother to whom he occasionally talks to, even without his physical presence. Yes, he does that. No, he is not mad, not at all.
After a couple of years of working and training as an actor in small roles though, he managed to loosen up a little and smiles more than usual, although those smiles remain cold more or less.

History: Jesse was originally born as Jess Valentine in a world called Terra which resembles Earth during the 18th century but is populated with magical beings like demons, vampires and werewolves, even though he had no opportunity to meet any of the non-human kind. Instead, he was born with his twin brother Jonathan in a rather poor family in the outskirts of London. Since his parents had neither money nor love left for their sons, they soon were sold to a rich landlord from the nobility.
Although they had been adopted in a way, they were brought up as loyal servants and musical entertainers, never allowed to socialize directly with the guests of the remote mansion. Thus, the brothers grew very close together, having no one but themselves to trust and talk to. But even then, physical differences separated them. While his brother was the healthier one, being able to work outside like tending the gardens, Jesse was an albinic, therefore considered as the weaker one who ought to stay inside, doing the housework and cooking.

During his free time, he loved to practice on the piano and, once in a while, going "hunting" with his brother, a special priviledge their master granted them. However, Jess began to be slowly fed up with the constant housework and the mansion the older he grew, especially after watching the guests enjoying their freedom numerous times. Even his brother who told him a lot about the world outside had more freedom than he did, worsening his discontent.
When he was 15, he decided to run away with his brother but seeing that their master had a wide area of influence they needed to come up with a plan which should buy them as much time as possible. Since Jonathan was more athletic than his brother, it was decided that Jess should leave first and wait at a safe place for the other one.
The day arrived when the plan was finally put into execution and everything seemed to go well. Jess left without attracting any attention and followed the path Jon had explained to him over and over again while the latter distracted the rest of the household.
But as soon as he was far away enough he started get lost in the woods and suddenly fell into a deep pit, losing his consciousness.

When he woke up, he found himself at an unfamiliar place again, a vast city with strange kinds of houses and steam wherever he looked, even the sky was covered in dark, thick and neverending clouds. The almost completely different style of clothes the people were wearing at that place alienated him more. He realized slowly that he might be in a whole different world, or at least far away from his former home... and his brother.
Nevertheless he started to look for him while starting a new life in the city called Babylonia. His education proved to be helpful for the latter undertaking and he soon got a job as a pianist at a saloon and a place to stay. Becoming more and more known for his unconventional style of music, he quickly gained fame, admirers but also enemies as well.

One of them was ambitious enough to give him secretly a present, a small bomb which blew up his right hand when he opened the package. Immediately, he was sent to hospital where he made the acquaintance of Dr. Steward Hawke, a famous head of department, well-known for his skills. He was the one who diagnosed that Jess' hand was gone forever but as he seemed to be fond of his music and didn't want it go to waste, he offered to replace it with an artificial one under certain conditions.
Having nothing else to lose, Jess agreed. He didn't mind to be used as a test subject as long as he was able to get his hand back. But during his treatment, taking many different kinds of medicine took its toll, causing his eye colour to fade from red to pink and small spots to appear on his skin.
Additionally, the doctor allowed him to "hunt" again, not really rats but other "animals" as well, and he was partnered with a young man called Casper, another patient with whom he shared his odd humour.
After he fully recovered and was able to move his new hand like his old one again, he left the hospital, partly returning to his profession as a pianist but beginning to be interested in being an actor at the same time and took the opportunity to give himself a new name:
Jesse Sexton.

One day, a couple of years later, like any other day, Jesse wanted to leave his new house and walked through the door when he suddenly ended up somewhere else. Again.

Some facts:
He uses a cane as his main weapon. Even though it's hiding a long blade in it, he seldomly makes use of it. Same applies to the hidden blade in his hand prothesis.
He is a human.
Because of his albinism, he wears dark sunglasses to protect his eyes.
He likes cherries.
That applies to eyes as well.
He is Jonathan's twinbrother.

Songs he would play on the piano:
Classic Horror 3
Wounded
Nightmarish Waltz - Piano version
