Jay Shagsby

Jay Shagsby is the spawn of Reanu Keeves and Todd Howard created after The Battle of the Todd-shaped Hole, despite this he is considered to be the purist of The Immortals. Having spent the first half of his life living with mortals, Jay has an appreciation for them which parallels the early days of Todd Howard.

## History

Jay Shagsby was formed by the blood of Reanu Keeves and Todd Howard that remained in the world of Skyrim after their Battle at the Todd-shaped Hole.

Trapped in the Tod-verse and woefully ignorant of the nature of reality, he was forced to live the lifestyle of a mortal being, though he had trouble piecing together just what that was since all the other mortal beings in Skyrim had been obliterated by Reanu Keeves.

As the Bonelords used the power of Barry the Boneraiser to repopulate Skyrim, he mingled with his new neighbors and developed an appreciation for humanity.  He is the only known Immortal aside from Todd Howard to harbor such feelings.

As he grew, the knowledge of Todd Howard and Reanu Keeves slowly seeped into his brain, for he was made of their essence.  However, Jay Shagsby could not absorb their power.  Suddenly Jay's lack of power seemed unfitting, since he now knew of the power of his “parents”.  For this reason, he set out to become a being worthy of his origins.

(Sidenote: Immortals' knowledge is imbued in their forms, and could thus be duplicated by making them bleed or cutting off an arm (if such a thing is possible), but power it imbued in their *being*, their core, which means that splitting them up divides their power instead of duplicating it. That is why splitting Reanu Keeves up into multiple copies of Skyrim works. However, blood is not part of their core, so Shagsby only gained their knowledge).

### The Cheesy Exploits

The disappearance of Reanu Keeves had left a significant power vacuum in the Tod-verse, and while the Bonelords had tapped into the power of The Cheesy Exploits, none of them had ascended to Reanu-like levels of power.

This knowledge came to be known by Jay Shagsby.  Using the knowledge of Reanu Keeves, he was able to replicate The Cheesy Exploits his “parent” used to become powerful, though the damage Keeves had done to the Tod-verse prevented Shagsby from reaching even half the power of his predecessor.  Even so, he was able to subjugate the remaining six Bonelords in an event known as The Great Shagsby Revolution and rule the plane of Skyrim not as a tyrant but as a just king.

## Plans for Rebuilding Civilization

Jay Shagsby knows that Reanu Keeves will eventually escape from the Tod-verse and destroy the mortal plane, but because of his feelings toward mortals, Shagsby hopes to rebuild after Keeves moves on. While he is not governing Skyrim he uses his Knowledge from Todd to better understand the nature of the Tod-verse so that he can remake the mortal plane using Todd's "5000% perfect" design.

While he is imprisoned, he cannot communicate with the outside world to warn them of their impending doom, though he hopes to join forces with The Spiffing Brit to rebuild the world. This is because he knows of Reanu Keeves’ offers to spare a certain number of people from the disaster, and he suspects that The Spiffing Brit will safely hold them in a pocket dimension using the power of Yorkshire Tea Gold.
