DAT EYE- JW's left sclera is a soupy yellow color and his pupil is an unnerving pinprick of black. An un-healing scar curves down from it over his cheek. When he can, he keeps a bandaid over it.

DEM ANTLERS- Faerie curses, man. JW sports a pair of whitetail antlers. In spring and summer they are still growing and covered in velvet. In fall in winter, they are polished and eventually drop off. Due to his poor health, they are thin, stunted, and brittle. He rarely becomes anything better than a six point.

POWERS

The Ghoul Eye
JW's left eye is cursed. It sees spirits and ghosts when others cannot. He also tends to get nosebleeds in the presence of ghosts which is a messy, annoying alternate way of detecting them.

Mundane Strengths and Weaknesses

MEDICAL NOTE
(If mental illness is a squick/trigger for you, just let me know and I'll avoid the subject in our threads!)
JW suffers from schizophrenia. His symptoms are mild even when not medicated, but are exhausting to deal with day after day. These symptoms are amplified by his drug use. He exhibits hallucinations (detailed below), ritualism going down stairs, paranoia concerning the mail, and a singular delusion that has caused an eating disorder.

Audio Hallucinations: Hearing voices not unlike a talk radio station being left on in another room, crackling sounds like paper packaging, barking or whining dogs, thumps, cars in the driveway, the voices of familiar people calling his name, door chimes, locks or door latches coming undone.

Visual Hallucinations: Text in books and woodgrain on furniture will 'jiggle', doorknobs and handles are offset a few inches from where they actually exist, doorways feel shorter than they actually are, reflections and small shadows caused by glass or tree branches can be mistaken for insects or mice, crumbs or bits of dirt where there aren't any, etc...

JW does not hallucinate full humanoid figures. The closest he usually comes is having trouble recalling conversations or events because the facial features of the person he was with can change drastically when he tries to recall them.
