Inspiration: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Abilities/ Skills:

Advanced Intelligence - Ward's father came from a scientific background and the young man has a natural affinity for knowledge in general. His modified genetics, thanks to his father's altered genes, also aid in his ability to process, analyze and memorize information. Because of this, his is multilingual, an expert chemist and fluent in most forms of technology. The nearly constant activity in his mind often gets in the way of his sleep. On any given day, Ward typically only rests for a couple of hours before getting back to work.

Highly Durable - While Ward can't flip a car over with his bare hands, his body is unnaturally fortified. While he can be broken, it would take a lot of concentrated effort. For example, if you were to hit him with a car, he would likely pick himself back up and dust himself off before going on with his business, but if you were to shove a grenade down his throat, he would most certainly be done for. Bullets will tear through his skin, but they wouldn't necessarily be able to make it through his bones unless they were high caliber armor piercing rounds.

Combat Proficiency - Ward's physical strength is comparable to any other human, however he has trained himself in various forms of armed and unarmed combat and is proficient with a variety of weapons, which aids greatly in the day to day operation of his criminal empire.

Telepathy - Ward's supernatural mind is so advanced that he soon discovered he could enter others' minds as well. While the ability to rapaciously read a person's mind is incredibly difficult, especially depending on the person, his ability to communicate with others through a mental connection is easily done. On weaker minded individuals (Read: mostly Trash NPCs), he can even induce behavior akin to hypnosis. While the limits of this ability are not currently known, he mostly uses it as a supernatural walkie talkie to direct his cronies or terrify his enemies.

History:

Dr. Henry Jekyll gave birth to Mr. Edward Hyde through chemical induction, creating a monster composed of his own evil. Mr. Hyde was conniving, harbored murderous intent and had a power of will that eventually overtook Jekyll's psyche. Soon Dr. Henry Jekyll ceased to exist, being consumed by his own creation. Eventually, there was only Hyde.

The potion that gave Hyde life also gave him power. His body and mind were forever altered, fortified and corrupted. As Edward Hyde made his way in the world, he satisfied whatever urge happened to pique his interest, including those of a carnal nature. That is where our story starts for our Ward, the one and only son of Mr. Edward Hyde.

Ward grew up a bastard to a whore. Nothing about him fit the mold of "normal". One need only be within a few paces of him to feel his eerie presence. Quiet and calculating, fearless and also horrifying, Ward is certainly his father's son but perhaps an improvement upon the original. Whereas his father was known to be a man of monstrous strength, Ward's greatest power does not live in the fibers of his muscles. Instead, his horrifying abilities come from his mind.

Growing up in poverty, Ward quickly learned meaning of survival on the streets. While his mother turned tricks, he busied himself with organizing scores, small time burglaries and pickpocketing with a gang of like-minded youths. His prowess for strategy and action was obvious to all and as the years went by, his small gang of street rats turned into a criminal empire with him at the head of the table.

Ward's abilities manifested when he was in his teenage years and were invaluable to cementing his status as top dog among his degenerate ilk. He would terrorize his foes, entering their minds and relentlessly haunting them, pushing them to the brink of madness until they surrendered to his will or forfeited their life.

Everyone in his hometown grew to know his name, but none would dare speak it. He was the living Boogeyman who ruled the city with an iron fist. He had one demand: Fall in line or bleed. Even his own mother grew to fear him. She lived alone in a luxurious home that Ward bought for her, filled with hired help that would see to her needs, but calling it a 'life' was a stretch of the word. She was an animal in an expensive cage from which she would never be allowed to escape. In Ward's mind, he was keeping her safe. To her, she was a prisoner.

Ward's supernatural infamy and penchant for bloodshed eventually caught the attention of the Lord of Darkness, who presented Ward with a lucrative offer. Join him and open up up his assets for Dracula's use and in return he would give Ward access to more power than he could ever hope to gain on his own. While Ward wasn't sure if he truly needed what the vampire was offering, his curiosity was formidable enough that he gave in and agreed to combine resources before formally taking a seat on the Council of the Night.

Goals:

Ward's goal is to conquer. He wants life to bend to his will and he will stop at nothing to accrue the power he needs to make that happen.

Theme Song: Killing Strangers

Notes: The original Mr. Edward Hyde (Senior) is said to still exist in the world, though Ward has no interest in seeking him out. In his mind, if his father wants nothing to do with him then, in return, he wants nothing to do with his father.

Sacred treasure:

Unquenchable Parasol Zepar - A contactable umbrella composed of several metal, detachable razors. With a precise flick or gesture, the razors fly off of the umbrella's mast, soaring towards its target. Each blade can be recalled by will back to the umbrella. Fully composed, the umbrella also serves as a formidable shield and the magic imbued within the sacred treasure also allows for controlled flight, albeit only at casual speeds, not nearly fast enough for complex combat applications.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Name: Cletus Hickman

Gender: Male

Age: 40



Physical Description: Standing at 5'10", Cletus is not particularly imposing. He is the product of a healthy diet consisting of beer and beef jerky, almost exclusively. Portly, unkempt and shrouded in odor that could make a person suddenly lose their sense of location, Cletus is certainly impressionable when you first meet him. With a wardrobe that includes overalls, 1 of 2 shirts that he rotates around during the week and a cap, it's not hard to recognize this man from a distance. He almost always looks the same as he did the day, the month, the year before.

Applied Position: Pump Attendant

BUCKET LIST

REASON FOR EMPLOYMENT: In Cletus' words: "The beer ain't gonna pay for itself." Not exactly a go-getter, the man took a job at the gas station because no one else wanted him. Despite his efforts in various interview processes to educate his potential employers about government conspiracies including, but not limited to, mind controlling nano bots that are injected into your blood when you vaccinate, how Mark Zuckerberg is actually a member of the Reptilian race and Facebook is his way of creating an index of all living humans, and how ghosts aren't really dead people (just flashes of other humans living in a parallel dimension), it always somehow resulted in him getting passed over or quickly terminated. That was until he came to Gas-Way.

BUDGETING: Cletus' expenditures all involve the 3 B's; Beer, Beef Jerky and Boobs. Despite his dashing appearance and suave charm, Ol' Clete has never been accused of being a ladies man. Instead, his courtship of the fairer sex often involves poles and dollar bills.

LIKES: The 3 B's explained above as well as NASCAR, InfoWars and cat videos

DISLIKES: "Funny Folk", the Illuminati, Reptilians and taxes

TRINKETS: One multi-tool that he keeps in his side pocket, one wrench that he has secured in a loop on his overalls and a nudey magazine rolled up and tucked in his back pocket.

BACKGROUND CHECK

With 2 years out of 4 of a high school education under his belt, Cletus' professional resume is largely undocumented. Realizing he could not sustain a living by solely changing buddies' brakes in their driveway or fixing broken lawn mowers, Cletus branched out to various mechanic shops. While his work was on point, his personality was not which always left him back out on the streets within weeks. Finally he found a home at the Gas-Way where he was kept mostly away from people, telling his stories of impending invasion to the pumps and the refuse.

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Mechanically Savvy > Put him in front of a computer and Cletus is destined to go crosseyed. Bring him a beater that won't start and he'll have her purring within a week.

Simple, but Obedient > Cletus knows he's not a leader and while he's also not very self motivated, he will perform the tasks he is assigned, typically without question.

Emotionally Impervious > Criticize him, insult him, degrade his station... Cletus, like the honey badger, don't care. His short attention span and lack of empathy makes him emotionally invincible.

Paranoid > Cletus will converse with anyone and, yet, trust no one. Willing to believe any conspiracy theory presented to him, the good ol' boy delights in the mistrust of society and denounces anything that sounds suspiciously like malarkey such as science, the government and glutens.
