James Strayer

A man with extraordinary fortunes, one way or another.

0 · 1,273 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 wasn't as startled as Avia had been until she almost confirmed that they were a couple. He was pleased at first until she saw the distress that the woman was in. Something about this guy was freaking her out. He felt a twinge of anger for her sake and spoke up, his voice a little too harsh for what he was saying. "Yeah we're fine thanks."

James Strayer stayed silent until the man was out of earshot. "Thank God he's gone huh? You looked really worried back there." He looked at her, she seemed to be calming down now. "What was all that boyfriend stuff anyways?"

James Strayer smiled "You're welcome. I really don't mind." Then he had some more of the wonderful food. It was so good that he started eating a little too fast. After one particular bite he swallowed before he was done chewing. As he choked his face started to turn blue and he fell onto the floor.

James Strayer spat the half-chewed ball across the room. He collapsed on his knees drew in several ragged gasps. "Thanks...You saved my life!" He was truly grateful. He sat down at the booth again and pushed his plate away. "I guess The Big Guy was getting bored again." He sighed and rubbed his chest where she had administered the Heimlich maneuver. Already, it felt like a bruise was starting to show.

James Strayer laughed at that, "Yeah, I'm sure. Its not very often that I get saved by a beautiful girl. I don't want to press my luck." He was feeling really great all of the sudden. "Hey, how about you and me go hang out somewhere?"

James Strayer let her guide him by the arm, completely forgetting about their bill. "Sure we can go I guess."
He was unsure about what was happening. But he didn't really care.

James Strayer had never been this confused before. But then he noticed the same red car that she had warned the doorman about before. The man was wearing a purple suit that almost made James wonder if Avia was really a circus performer like she had said. When she started to talk about the snow, he almost called her crazy. But then he thought (what the hell, I'll play along), and replied. "Yes dear, its wonderful, if a bit cold."

James Strayer walked slowly into the bar. As he walked his tan leather jacket hung loosely around his slumped shoulders, almost falling off. His glasses were a bit foggy as the water in the air condensed on their cold surfaces. He was exhausted and needed a rest. His fruitless job search was nothing but a waste of time and he had decided to waste his time drinking and talking.

James Strayer walked into the bar, his jacket waving slightly in the breeze. His bronze glasses glinted off of the ceiling lights as he sat down at the bar. "I'll have two G&T's please."

James Strayer nodded and smiled. He'd been in a good mood ever since he'd gotten a new job at the local alien zoo. "Here, how about I buy you a round. You look like a man who likes a good drink."

"Wow, a bounty hunter?" James thought for a second and then looked back at Echo, "You mean like that guy on tv who goes around catching people who skip their bail?"

James Strayer realized what he'd been saying and shook his head. He grabbed a green vial from inside his coat and chugged it down. He almost threw it up for the taste, but the medicine had done its job. His head was clearer and he felt less groggy. "Sh-sorry bout that. I guess I still don't know my limit."

James Strayer nodded and then grabbed his head. Fast movement-not a good idea right now. "Anyways, how does one go about being a bounty hunter?"
