Brief biography: Juke is a kind, outgoing person. While he maintains a friendly disposition, he’s not naive. He has spent time adventuring in portals, and before that his home was the underbelly of a steampunk city. He keeps his past close to his chest and rarely shares the details with others. Despite not being genuinely close to many, he has a lot of connections and people willing to lend him a hand because of his generosity and willingness to help. At times he’s been known to bite off more than he can chew, but he’s managed to scrape by so far, so he doesn’t seem to find it very crucial to work on that flaw.   

Background: Juke was created in a steampunk city with heavy emphasis on technology and inventions. He was made by a retired alchemist as a personal performer, but when the scientist discovered he had created an entirely new person he became endeared and sought to treat him like a son. The alchemist passed away after a year or two together, and Juke lived on to be "adopted" by family members who treated him like a possession. His time with them was cruel and lonely. Desperate to escape, he ran away after a confrontation exposed his emerging latent elemental power that made an opening for him to run. 

After that, he spent time in the underbelly of the city, hiding, busking, and doing odd jobs.

While performing for an upper class orchestra he became friends with a mysterious benefactor (trust fund kid with an interest in the paranormal) and began exploring portal phenomenon for him.

Combat Abilities: Juke has honed his skill to the point of being able to melt down his trombone with heat, he can shape it into the form of a greatsword with magical manipulation that holds him together. He’s still practicing the art of greatsword wielding, so he imbues his blade with the power of fire to potentially do more damage. 

Bits and Pieces: 

• His body has some limitations, mostly being inactive nerve endings, making him less sensitive to sensation. Because of this, the only instrument he can play well is the trombone. 

• He can sing pretty well, it’s common practice for jazz players to vocalize their solos to figure them out, so over time he became competent at translating that to singing songs. It’s not a polished skill, but he likes doing it for fun.

• His right hand is completely mechanical, yet it’s his dominant hand
