Jericho Jones

Jericho Jones grew up in wealthy noble family. He was always a bit of a tinkerer as a child, and ended up going to the Damarin Institute of Magic and Technology to become an artificer. He dropped out after a few years of study, and, after being disowned for what they saw as lazy and disgraceful behavior, by his family, joined a sailing crew at the age of 21. He used what he did learn at the College to build a faithful companion, and construct a firearm for himself. He learned the sailing trade, and helped run security, fire control, and navigation for the various crews he served on. He's worked for merchants, transport, and a few privateers. He loved the freedom of the sea and was a bit of a drifter, but was always loyal to the officers above him. Now a little older and having lost a leg to cannonfire in a battle with pirates, Jericho, or "JJ" as his friends tend to call him, is looking for another ship to sail on. Merchant ships and transports through the million realms have lost their appeal, and he wants to work for a crew with more freedom and a better crew. He is particularly interested in "Old World" tech as he calls it, technology from the civilization that created the gates throughout the realms. Jericho's real name is Percival Silverston He used a fake name to join the sailing crews, as he wanted to avoid his family legacy, and his first name was decidedly, "Not Cool." His parents, Forscythe and Marian, own a shipping and trading company known as the Silver Trading Company that has connections throughout the realms. ironically, Jericho has served on a few of these ships, though since his family doesn't often work directly with the ships, they'd never know. For a time he worked directly with a company that was contracted out to the Blue Pegasus Guild, and has a low ranking membership in the organization. He also worked for a few years moving members of the Deadwatch around to the various gates that lead to the realms of the undead. He's not directly involved in the fight, but supports their cause, albeit not with the same absurd zeal as a full member. The battle where he lost his leg was against a crew of privateers working for (insert douchey fucks here) a cannonball mangled his leg beyond saving, and was amputated to save his life. His companion, Finn is a Wolfhound created from the fusion of magic and technology. His development was started at the College, but he stopped development when he left the college Damarin is a city state in the realms that has an exceptionally high magical population. The elder council of the College rules the city, and keeps it as an independent and primarily neutral nation. many members join the various legions that make up it's mighty defense force, however others travel the lands as independent wizards, artificers or other magic users. Jericho is a drop out and doesn't really like to talk about it. He worries about being shunned by other sailors for his education, while also being annoyed with being looked down on by officers and nobles alike
