Jessie

Backstory

Jessie grew up during his planet's 'revolution' which resulted in a split across the world causing his happy white picket fence childhood to plummet into chaos and destruction.

His planet was full of ungifted (as in, no magical abilities) that relied heavily on technology but there was also a dark underbelly where Vampires lurked.

Jessie, having lost his contact with his family and lost his home in the revolution and knowing he'd be easy pray for any vampire that crossed his path went into hiding in the subways and underground paths that weaved their way under the suburbs and city he had once called home.

Jessie's blood type comes from a lineage of specially bred and created humans that were made specifically for vampires so this was his best chance to survive. While it has been several generations he knows that it has not been bred out completely yet and that he'd be tracked to the ends of the world if a vampire even set eyes on him.

Finding some safety with a group of others who had the same idea as him they set up an unofficial medical centre as these were quickly gaining success in the lower income areas and each of them had some experience in medicine whether it was via family like Jessie or now dead dreams of being in the medical field back before the revolution.

Settling into this life for a few years and being fully prepared for this to be his life style; shut in and dealing mostly with corpses, he became subservient and quiet. Far from the energetic child who would play street hockey day and night with the neighbourhood children and his brother.

That is until one day a corpse that was brought just happened to not be dead at all. Or from that world at all he would later learn. Shae, who had been feigning death stood on his operating table from where he had turned away commanding him to follow her across the city. No context was given even when asked (on multiple occasions) but the girl had a gun, two guns in fact so who was he to argue?

Over the course of a day and a bit (and after a brief encounter with a vampire) Jessie's life went from dark and dimly lit musty rooms with the odd whiff of formaldehyde and antiseptic to standing in the middle of a white and silver metallic room (that smelled oddly like apples) only to be told he would not be returning to that world he had called home. He was of use elsewhere.

Going from only being aware of other worlds in science fiction to standing in a teleport dock on another planet was quite a culture shock. From that point on Jessie's been living very different life; a much more active one. Travelling from planet to planet collecting information alongside Shae and the rest of her team. A Data Collector.

To be honest he'd much rather lie down and sleep/cry.
