Jobe Lus

Jobe Lus is a character played by Leek Whibble.
==General Information==
Jobe Lus is a civ / crim homeless character that lives in the city. He works for food, favors and information. He also likes to gamble and is interested in playing some dice games whenever the chance arises. With the news that gambling is now allowed, he's hoping to get a job at the casino if that opens.
==Physical Description==
Jobe wears practical clothing that doesn't make him stand out. He wears a hat and medical mask to cover his head and protect him from illness as his immune system is not the best due to his past injuries and living situation. Taking his headwear off, it is immediatly clear that Jobe has suffered serious burns in the past. His head is covered in burn scars and he is unable to grow any hair on his face and head due to the heavy scarring. He is 6ft 2 with a thin build due to malnourishment. His voice is very rough and labored due to his lungs and vocal chords being damaged in the same accident that burnt his body. The burn scars reach down to his shoulders and the top of his chest. The other most striking thing is his blue eyes and his facial structure is quite well defined.
==Background Information==
Jobe Lus, stage name Jobe Luscious, used to be a rising star in the modeling and acting world. Baby blues, luscious locks (of which he took his stage name from) and a defined facial structure. He was gorgeous and fantastically photogenic. He lived a rather hedonistic life as a result, taking for granted his lavish lifestyle. Fast cars, many dolled-up girlfriends and an excellent wardrobe curtasy of the magazines and fashion shows he modelled for. Jobe was even working towards a music career, his singing voice perfect for crooning country blues.
Unfortunatly, when the nuclear bomb went off on the coast, the city was thrown into chaos during the onsuing panic. A building he was sheltering in caught fire during a riot and he was trapped inside. Jobe suffered horrific burns on his upper torso and head, plus permanant damage to his lungs and voice box. His career was over.
Reconstruction surgery was offered, but already in the throws of apathy and depression, knowing his previous perfect face would never be the same, he refused to go through any cosmetic reconstruction beyond what was necessary for recovery. His voice was also destroyed either-way, sounding like he had been smoking like a chimney for 50 years. Adding insult to injury, Jobe’s head and facial hair also failed to grow back - Those luscious locks he had named himself after now a thing of the past.
Unable to continue his previous careers and his appearence causing others avoid him or treat Jobe like an oddity, it wasn’t like Jobe didn’t try to pick himself up at first. Attempts were made to work; at first in job paths that were customer facing (after all, Jobe’s skills were charisma-based), and after that in factory work. Neither jobs lasted too long, multiple complaints were put forward, either due discrimination towards scary appearence or increasingly his bitter and very rude attitude, and he was asked to quit. This knocked him further down into the dirt, afterwhich Jobe spent a number of years resigning to living rough, not wanting to interact with other people.
==Relationships==
In the past he had many. All those were rather superficial and quickly ended after his celebrity career ended. He doesn't keep many people in his life these days, rather prefering to be alone. However, loneliness is a horrible, creeping feeling and he has started trying to make some connections with people that give him the time and day. People that are nice to him without pointing out his face first. His old habits are not gone, however... He used to be a horrible, manipulative person and used people often. Has the harsh years on the street changed him for the better, or will he continue to use people if given the chance?
==Trivia==
*I imagined his pre-accident face looked very similar to a young Kevin Bacon, particulary from his 'Tremors' days. Kevin Bacon also sings in his own band, don't ya know? 
*I miss Vampire The Masqurade and my favorite clan is Nosferatu! I wanted an information broker style character that lived more underground and created a network of other homeless very much how the Nos clan worked in VtM :D
