  • Streetwise (3) Johnny has been living on the streets for years.
  • Slippery (4) Johnny always lives to (not) fight another day.

Magic

Power 5 - Shackles of the Spirit. Johnny uses this summoning ritual to enslave spirits he whose power he covets, and converse with those whose power he fears.

Power 4 - Dead Bolts. These cloth bracelets are actually powerful talismans that lock and secure any door whose handle they're hung on.

Power 8 - The Long Shadow. Johnny's familiar is an incorporeal demon that inhabits the body of a tiny, white rat. It can become material in short flashes, just long enough to crush someone's ribcage.

Notes

Johnny Fetish wasn't always a whacked-out homeless guy obsessed with acquiring supernatural power. Back in the day, he taught Linguistics at Yale. It was through his translation work with ancient texts that he stumbled upon his first spells. Of course, he didn't know what he'd found at the time, but something did.

The Wild Hunt came to Professor Johnny without warning, but he proved a more slippery target than the Long Shadow had anticipated. He managed to slip away with his life. Suddenly, all of that mystical shit started to sound a lot more plausible.

He dove back into his studies with a fanaticism born of self-preservation, and bordering on insanity. The next time the Long Shadow came calling, he bound it in Shackles of the Spirit and made it swear to serve him loyally for all time. Now, the demon has become Johnny's tutor and bodyguard.

He has long since discarded his academic career in favor of becoming a master spellbinder. His street name is a reference to his collection of small talismans and his habit of summoning spirits into figurines.
