James Strayer
A man with extraordinary fortunes, one way or another.
0 · 1,285 views · located in 
Wing City
a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Midnightclub
Description
James is a 5'10'' suave young man with brown hair and brown eyes. He is usually wearing glasses and his leather jacket. All in all there is not much significant about his looks. However, Jimmy has a problem with luck. He has too much luck both bad and good. His day will be going great until he gets hit by a car and then luckily survives. His luck has always been fluctuating and he can do nothing about
Personality
He is generally optimistic and, although his luck can be great at times, he usually wishes that he was more like normal people. He is not certain whether there's some outside force controlling his patterns of misfortune and fortune. He knows that he can't stop it though, so instead he has learned to live with it. A fairly 'normal' man, he enjoys all kinds of music and is usually calm and collected.
Equipment
Jim isn't very skilled at anything that doesn't involve games of chance but he does carry some equipment just to be safe.
Knife: a basic pocket knife with three types of blades, one with serrated edges.
Leather jacket: In his life the only thing that he knows will give him luck is his leather jacket. When wearing it he is rarely hurt, always avoiding danger at the last second.
History
James has just moved to Wing City from up north. He has just gotten a job as a bartender at Gambit's Bar.
So begins...
James Strayer's Story
James Strayer didn't seem to notice the question. "Yeah, usually if I stay in one place I don't have bad luck for a while." He relaxed back in the chair, trying to stay inconspicuous to the giant Minotaur, he didn't know the beast but with his luck it was probably best not to know him. He looked at the woman again, she seemed to be looking at him in an odd way, "...What?"
James Strayer stared openly, he'd heard of magic of course (In this bar who hadn't?) but he'd never met a witch before. "Wait, how do you stop being a witch, aren't you like born with magic?" He noticed the goings on in the bar, but he couldn't do anything, he'd most likely just get hurt. He kept his interested gaze on Willow instead and tried to ignore the rampaging man-beast.
James Strayer was surprisingly (To himself) unscathed. He absentmindedly picked splinters from his hair and smiled back. "It's ok. Most people," he nodded towards the fighting pair, "know how to fight or do magic. I don't really care about fighting and I think The Big Guy doesn't want me to be hurt." He laughed thinking about his recent fall or when he got hit by a car, "Well, most of the time anyway. So I just don't care enough for those kind of things."
A young man, about 20 walked into Gambit's. He looked side to side in the bar, his brown leather jacket fluttering a little as if in a breeze. He walked up to the counter holding his forehead. "I'll have two gin and tonics please." His glasses glinted off the light as he looked around the bar once more. James Strayer wondered what kind of luck he would have today.

James Strayer nodded to Phoebe Nesahn, "Sure, here you go ma'am." He handed over his drivers license. He wondered why he had one, he didn't have a car..., but it didn't matter. "Weird weather out there huh?" he said, making small talk.
James Strayer was a bit startled as a man on fire stormed into the bar. "Fire!" Without thinking, he took one of the G&T's that Phoebe Nesahn had handed him and threw the contents at Doryn Soulscar.
James Strayer had his other drink before replying to Pheobe, "Oh, yeah sure. I'll pay for it. Oh, and can I get a Dr, Pepper please?" He turned to the man with the still burning hair. "Hey, are you all right?" James wasn't the most observant of fellows.
James Strayer "Thanks" James said and put down the money. He took his glass to a booth and sat down.
James Strayer found himself walking the streets of Wing City. He had just gotten out of his apartment and was off to look for work. His brown leather jacket flapped in the chilly wind and his glasses fogged with every breath. He was being extra careful today, he didn't want more bad luck on such a cold morning.
As he walked he stared at the ground, thinking about where he was going to go. He figured Gambit's was hiring but he wasn't sure he wanted to work at such a dangerous place. He'd been walking for a while and didn't realize until the last second that he was about to walk straight into another man. He tried to avoid a collision with Chad.

James Strayer raised his hands in a gesture of peace. "Woah, sorry man." He offered his hand to help the stranger up and looked him over. It was no wonder that he had thought this guy was a man. Chad was several inches taller than him and he also had a lot more muscles. But, he realized that this big man was just a kid, probably more than 5 years younger than him. He almost grinned at himself but thought better of it.
James Strayer couldn't say that he was scared, but when the kid grabbed him around the head he did feel a little concerned. He tried to maneuver his way out of the grip as gently as he could and said, "Um, Yeah. Pals, right." He looked at the woman who had walked up to them. She was stunning, like most girls in this city, but she also seemed deadly. Considering the fact that this big bully was scared of her, he was wondering whether he should be too. "Hi there."
"Well," James said with a gulp "sure I was. Would you care to join us?" Then he heard the door greeter. He wasn't really one for gambling, but he would bet any money that this kid wasn't allowed in. Maybe that would be his chance, he nodded at the greeter. "Sure why not? You guys down for it?"
James Strayer sighed, he'd have to take the kid with after all. They walked into the den of sin and looked for the buffet. James walked that way and motioned to the others to follow. Then he saw the bruiser just turn around and leave. He turned to Avia, "What's his problem anyways?"
James Strayer laughed, "I wasn't planing on it." He said with a smile. Then he realized he hadn't even learned her name yet. "My name's James by the way. And you are?" As they talked they were ushered into the casino's buffet. They got a table and were talking in a booth.
James Strayer nodded, "Yeah, it is." He was watching Avia with interest. She moved so gracefully he wondered if she wasn't something more than human. The buffet was big and he looked at the food hungry. He wouldn't make a move towards it, though, until the woman did first. He didn't want to be rude.
"Circus huh? That sounds interesting." James said as he filled his plate. The breakfast all looked so good, this would probably be his best meal for a long time. He looked up at Avia who was staring at another man. "Who's that? Do you know him?" He asked almost jealously.
"Oh, yeah, lets just eat then." They sat back at their table and James almost immediately began to dig in. The food was delicious, just as he had expected. He silently eyed Mammon for a second, he was also thinking that the man seemed odd; but he couldn't really understand why he felt that way. "So," he said to Avia trying to start some small talk, "You work at a circus?"
