Profile


Jimmy Scordato was born just before the start of the 20th century. He was a street urchin, raised in poverty, and he doesn't even remember his real parents. Jimmy managed to survive through guile and wit. He made money as a shoe-shiner, but that was a small portion of his true earnings. By keeping his ears open and close to the shady underground, he picked up bits of information, and would sell it to cops and criminals alike. Many crooks ended up behind bars because of him, but just as many ended up in cement shoes.

On one fateful day, he learned something big. News of an operation by the local Vampire Mafia, run by a younger and meaner Mrs Paula, where she would betray the other largest crime syndicate in the city during a trade. He knew he would make money from this, and sold them out without a moment's hesitation. For a brief moment, he enjoyed actual, genuine wealth. But the Vampire Mafia got hit hard. Many vampires were dusted that day. Jimmy knew, deep down, this would happen, but was able to tell himself that the vampires were criminals and deserved it, in order to sleep at night. Unfortunately for Jimmy, it didn't take Mrs. Paula long to find out who was responsible.

That cold, Winter night, vampires kidnapped Jimmy, brought him to a bridge. They drained him of blood until he could no longer stand, then threw him into the river, where he drowned.

But Jimmy didn't move on to the next world. His soul was left behind, suddenly awakening as a Mage, and somehow he managed to avoid the watchful eyes of Heaven's reapers. He felt Karma weighing him down; his soul was bound for Hell! Despite his self-reassurances, the number of crooks dead because of him was too great, and while his hypothetical stay in Hell would not last too long before he had a chance to climb his way through purgatory, he still didn't want to go. He faded in and out of a coherent form for a hundred years, and during that time swore to earn his redemption without going to Hell. While a young Reaper named Morticia caught wind of his trail, he decided he would much rather go to Hell than cease to exist. But, instead, he was able to find refuge with Amvira and her crew, who even managed to sway Morticia away from the side of Heaven. Now, he'd have to face his most difficult trial yet: earning Mrs. Paula's forgiveness.

  • Jimmy's a seemingly skittish and cowardly person, but he's actually a lot braver than he lets on. 
  • The fact is, he usually IS afraid, he just doesn't care to hide it, and he can act despite fear with relative ease.
  • In life, he had gray fur, and dark eyes
  • When Jimmy passes through solid objects, he leaves behind frost on them.
  • Jimmy's clothes are part of his ghostly form, and cannot be taken off. Except the hat, but it just kinda reappears on his head if he tries to throw it away.
  • When Jimmy's in a less coherent form, he will appear mostly transparent and you can see his skeleton.
  • Jimmy cannot use glamor fields. Instead, he can just become invisible and completely intangible.
  • Jimmy left behind a pregnant girlfriend, and has a long-lost grandson who, in a twist of fate, becomes a vampire in service to Mrs. Paula.
  • Look I'm gonna be perfectly honest, he's lowkey based off of Johnny the Ghost from Monster By Mistake

In-Game Fighting Style

Jimmy's somewhat unique in that he's immune to physical damage, which is one of the more common damage types in the game. He's also immune to poison, and resistant to Ice and Unholy, but he's weak against Fire and Holy, AND his health pool and defensive stats are really small. That, plus the fact that you have to get up close to deal damage with him makes him a hard character to use properly. That said, he can do reliably large amounts of damage, inflict massive debuffs in the form of ice, AND he has some defensive and evasive abilities. His number one method of survival is to kill or disable enemies before they can do anything to him.
