Username: Kalamadea
Name: John "Grimjack" Gaunt (real name unknown)
Origin: Grimjack (First Comics series)
Where you wind up?: The city of Cynosure
Gender: Male
Appearance: Gaunt is easily described as appearing very rough, and many would consider him ugly. Gaunt is moderately tanned, with sharp stone-grey eyes that seem to pierce into one's soul. He keeps his straight black hair at shoulder length, with the gray streak clearly visible due to his hair being combed back most of the time. His jowls are clearly defined, but not that prominent, and his cheeks are slightly sunken, giving him a sort of skeletal look when his face is viewed from the correct angle. A single scar graces his face over his left eye, and his large nose is hooked, something obvious from the side.
His attire appears to be an old military uniform with a variety of pockets, and a utility belt sits on his hips to hold ammunition, his guns, and a variety of other necessities. He also sports a long blue cape, likely part of the uniform he wears, with large shoulder plates protecting his neck and shoulders. He also sports a red bandanna around his neck. Every pocket on his uniform always looks stuffed with supplies.
Alignment: Technically neutral, but tends to stick around with the highest bidder (obviously it's the Protagonists at this time).
Personality: Grimjack is a bastard, simply put. He puts his greed at top priority, only ever helping people if they can pay his hefty fee. He's blunt, cold, and downright callous at times. Despite this, he still holds a code of honor from the early years of Cynosures mercenary market, one not really followed anymore. He will never break a promise or a contract, holding that loyalty is what keeps you valuable as a mercenary. Bolstering this is his training as a soldier during his first life. He also, much like Ajax, feels that you should only fight your own battles, never interfering with someone else's, because you just might end up screwing up something.
Grimjack is also a drunk, but has, in his several thousand combined years of life, developed such a tolerance for alcohol that it hardly affects him anymore. He's also a chain smoker, and is rarely seen without a cigarette in his mouth (usually it's only when he's drinking). Finally, the rest of his personality could be described in a phrase: "A man with a soul so black Hell itself was too good for him."
Skills:
Master Marksman: With several lifetimes of experience, Grimjack is the best general marksman in Cynosure, and one of the best in the Multiverse. While he is not totally accurate with any specific weapon, he can pick up any weapon and start using it without instruction, even if he's never seen or touched it or even heard of it before.
Master Swordsman: Grimjack loves only one thing as much as his guns and booze, and that's his swords. He possesses several lifetimes' worth of experience honing his swordsmanship, making him one of the most dangerous swordsmen in the Multiverse.
Tactical: Grimjack's first life was a soldier, and he retains the tactical mindset from that life. He can analyze almost any situation and figure out how to come out on top.
Powers:
Reincarnation: When his original life died and he was judged for the dimensions of Heaven or Hell, he was banished from both, causing him to be unable to die permanently. When he dies, he is reincarnated in the next world and the group enters when he reaches his usual age, and the encounter awakens his memories as John Gaunt. His equipment is then restored after the world he is reincarnated in.
Equipment:
Unbranded Pistol: A custom-made pistol he paid a hefty sum for, this pistol is crafted to his hand specifically, allowing for far steadier handling. This also means if anyone else tries to use it, they'd be unable to handle it properly. He can also load a variety of types of ammo into it, as he designed it with versatility in mind. Most common ammunition he uses with it is .45 magnum rounds, but he carries experimental one-use energy charges. He has four of these, replenished between worlds. He carries 15 mags of magnum rounds, each one holding 10 rounds.
Military Saber: Each life carries the original saber Grimjack used. This is nothing special, really, just a standard military saber.
Steel Dagger: A typical dagger he uses in his off-hand.
Sawn-off Shotgun: An unremarkable sawn-off shotgun. He doesn't use it much, preferring his swords and pistol.

Can Fourth Wall breakers see into your world and/or this application thread?: no, the snatcher is immune to the forth wall
Can Fifth Wall breakers see into your world?: yes, the fifth wall upon it can be breached.
Are the physics of this world any different from the usual?: no.
Does this world have life?: yes, the snatcher is host to all kinds of life, many saved from dying worlds. There are birds, fish, mammals, plants. Anything one could think of that breathes or lives.
If this world does have life, please explain: nothing that lives in permanent residence upon the snatcher, save the current omega, or the alpha who is in line to be omega is intelligent.
Although temporary lodgings of those that omega wishes to test, or do experiments with do occur, they are never long enough to be notable.
How did this world come to be: the snatcher is an existence, which had come to being during the clash of two dimensions in the process of being created, shortly after our own universe was born.
As such, it had lived since far, far ancient times. It traveled and drifted between dimensions, gathering more energy as it went along. Until one point, when it began to become aware of itself. It became aware of it’s being, and the being of that that was around it.
And... It became enraptured with the concept of worlds, of life. How such small things could exist, and continue to exist despite the hazards swirling around right above and around them. Eventually, that enrapturement turned to love.
It came to love that which it watched. Even shifting it’s own physical form to emulate those worlds. At times, it would save the creatures upon worlds it observed dying. At first, it saved all creatures, intelligent or not. But after seeing the trend of intelligent beings destroying their own worlds, it saved only the non-intelligent ones.
But the name those with intelligence gave it, that of “the snatcher” stuck with it. At some point, a being sought to use the snatcher’s dimensional energy, combined with a ramming at omega primus’s ruined earth to absorb near infinite power from the impact.
But omega stopped the attempt, and saved the snatcher. Thus starting a friendship which had lasted throughout the endless cycle that is the existence of alpha and omega. To this day, the snatcher serves as omega’s home, ship, base and ally in all his endeavors.
How long has this world been in existence? The snatcher has existed Millions of years.
Are there any Crucible pieces in this world? No, as it is the RL version of the snatcher, not the Internet multiverse’s copy. however, it does hold two world totems. The book of Ω, an ever uncompleted record of the lives and knowledge of the various incarnations of omega and alpha that invariably come to live out their days with the snatcher as their one constant companion.
and the primum calamus, the original hand carved cane that omega primus had utilized in his later life in memory of his only son, whom had made it embued with a mere fragment of the power that bound omega to the cycle, and embedded in the snatcher's core chambers by the snatcher itself to protect and preserve it.
