General description: Jørgen is a modestly typical sight for a northern greatling stonerunner. Riddled with furs, anointed with trinkets with each a symbolic meaning to the deeds of the earth. His skin blessed to wear itself as though the terrain he most usually inhibits, the mountains. He lacks any noteworthy details such as tusks or horns, though notably Jørgen is short and slightly on the less bulky side of greatlings.

General quests: In contrast to most Stonerunners  Jørgen is superstitious in nature. Seeded into him in early childhood, he often looks for signs or omens that indicate punishment from the supernatural and tries to plead with them for his health and wellbeing. However, that he is a stonerunner and being brought into that kind of world, he's anxious not to let this part of him slip. This makes him wear as though a guise upon himself that constantly wears him down in broad daylight. He attempts and tries to maintain it secret out of fear of judgement and shame. Though he doesn't entirely know if the things he would want to believe in are real for that matter, just that they gnaw at him at every turn. 

Though his foremost goal in life is to settle down and provide for a modestly stable and balanced life, he is intrigued to try and explore the world and locate proof for the supernatural of his superstitious beliefs. To befit both goals, locating a suitable place for a secretive shrine and become it's guardian. Though how this will play out will depend, as he lacks both knowledge and skill to fully refine such ambitions into being. And whether or not the world around him will support that intent provides an unkind uncertainty to it.

Spoiler
Jørgen is weirdly superstitious, paranoid, fearful and hungry. The combination of these traits would have me drive the character towards pursuing the Shrinekeeper fables, with somehow a weirdly fucked up way to garner reason to actually defend the shrine. This is something I'm verily unsure of yet and will let the choices of other characters impact Jørgen foremost.

As time would have it and events unfold before Jørgen, his foremost interest begin to shape within the Spire. Turning towards the fables to face the problems of his daily work in favor of alleviation. Whether towards the Siren serene or the fable of the lucky coin, his interests are foremostly expressed towards having a life of luxury and relative ease, devoid of hunger and poverty. Furthermore, with his superstition bound to himself, he's began to express distrust towards the magical and fae in nature. Wanting the least to do with them.

Ambition section (simplified section until I can make it all pretty)

Driven towards:

Siren Serene:

0 - - - x - - - - - 10 

Fable of the Lucky coin:

0 - - - - - - x - - 10

 Important events timeline:

09232024 - Jørgen makes contact with an underworld criminal association in the Spire, establishing himself as a small-time member of it.

09232024 - Jørgen arrives by a townhall gathering where he first learns upon the situation that plagues the Spire.

05102024 - Jørgen arrives to another gathering to debate the recent occurences with council murders, kidnappings and bandits. He meets with a baker prior to it, and meets with another greatling during it.

08102024 - Jørgen meets with his 'official' master, employed to the household service of someone significantly smaller than him. The idea of serving someone significantly less intimidating than himself makes him not only paranoid and weak to the thought. He's yet to find proper respect towards the figure, though has found their offers far too good to pass up on. 

231124 - Jørgen attends a Stonerunner fishing competition. This is where he first attains his initial foresteps into fishing and his interest in gambling with the Siren Serene and the fables of the Lucky Coin plant their roots within Jørgen. Though the latter would develope into more of a damnation than salvation later on, his interest in fishing is gagged due to being unlearned in swimming. 

291224 - Jørgen attends the Spire Yule, where upon nagging others for coin to purchase his daily bread, he's thwarted with 40 coins from a friend, and then from another. Re-instating himself from absolute poverty to relative wealth. Time will tell if Jørgen manages to actually re-instate himself properly with this investment.

Relations

Jørgen's personal perception of those he meets.

The gossip band @Vigilance & co

Met briefly in matter of happenstance by the latest townhall meeting. Jørgen alongside four others agreed upon the otiose terms of the discussion being held within. And how insufferable it was to try and listen. Furthermore their playful discussion on gossip and rumors kept Jorgen most intrigued. Jørgen found the group in hospitable terms, that of an amicable sense, and wonders often as to when he will get to meet them again, if at all?

Theme: A bit of sass

House Phonquis - Bridge to the underworld @NOS402, @Medicai
Met on the dockside, Jørgen was introduced to an associate-like status to work for the Phonquis from time to time. Though it has been some time since he was last in contact, Jørgen doesn't believe he can merely walk out of the bond he shed to join. Jørgen believes House Phonquis to be both an opportunity to consider, as well as a threat to fear, keeping him relatively submissive towards them. 
Theme: Vampyr - Bridge to London.

The common @Blossom

Whether another beggar or worker of the common status, anyone who Jørgen meets with and seems to fall into a similar state of poverty as he falls into here. To them, Jørgen regards a sense of shared burden, crushed by the spinning wheel of a feudal society underneath the merchants and noble 

Theme: n/a

The household of service - Noctis

Initially under the stewardship of Lady Meriel Noctis, Jørgen remains unsure if the contract between the two still stands given the lengthy absence of the Lady. Nevertheless, having been introduced to a finer living, Jørgen remains steadily intrigued by any whom might so be interested to hire him into such a fold. 

Theme: Fullmetal Alchemist - Nocturne Amestris

The Mountain Clan

Forged by merely similar background, Jørgen has met with other greatlings that spawn from stonerunner culture and attends in their presence without issue. They've helped Jørgen stand in his poverty from time to time and such have earned his upmost respect as well as a need to be of further service to them, if not just for the sake of being familiar and of blood.

Theme: TBD
