Spinnaker Jon's page

Spinnaker Jon is a veteran sailor, likes to carouse down in bars with other sailors, ladies of the evening and gambles unwisely. He seems haunted by something and he is occasionally gloomy; yet there is something compelling about him that draws people in to hear his sailors stories and laugh at his prestidigitation tricks. Every so often a mysterious cold breeze will blow his hair or crawl down peoples shirts, or the hair on the back of your necks will stand up. People leave quickly then.

Growing up as the son of a fishing captain he joined a merchant clipper and went all around the known seas. He became curious about exotic and mystic artifacts. One day he went a bit too far on shore leave on a remote island somewhere, and the god whose idol was vandalized took offense and hit Spinnaker with a bolt of purple lightning. The magic flows through him now, creating effects outside his control; opening and slamming doors and chests, sudden gusts of air blowing down your neck, mysterious lights. He got a reputation as cursed and can't find a sailing job now, though is is a fine sailor and his crews like his ability with Mending. He is just finding out how to control the force. Despite his new career, he still thinks of himself as just a sailor.
