Name/Nickname:
Carl Michael Reed/Picasso, Float face
Age:
47
Gender:
Male
Height:
6'2''
Weight:
250 lbs
Alignment:
Neutral Good
Affliction:
Human (cursed)
Nationality:
American
Occupation:
Works at the docks
Skills and Abilities:
Knowledge about archeology; can solve crosswords really fast; could probably scare anyone out of their wits if he ever wanted to
Weaknesses:
Worthless in a fight; not in very good physical condition; perhaps is a LITTLE to fond of beer; his curse doesn't have advantages at all (except that making your nose turn upside down is a GREAT party trick)
Relationships:
Has a wife and a daughter but he hasn't seen them in years
Personality:
Cheerful and easygoing guy with loud voice and booming laughter. Never lets the curse get the best of him. He's a people person and if he would spend his life isolated from other people he would go nuts. Can be overly friendly (not to say annoying) and never gets a hint... or at least never takes a hint. When someone kindly says "I would like to be on my own for a while" he says "Good idea! Let's go and have a beer and be on our own together!" He acts like he's not the sharpest knife in the cutlery, but he's actually quite intelligent and well-read... he's been around in the world and knows how it work, but his motto is that even when life gets ugly there's no idea moping. But now and then even Carl starts to feel a little down (he's just human, after all) and when that happens he systematically makes himself drunk until he's not feeling down any more.
His appearance makes people uncomfortable, even when he's in disguise (which he always is when he's around 'normal' people.) Likes to go on long road trips. Likes beer. Likes ladies.
Appearance:
History:
Carl grew up in New Jersey. He was a really popular guy who had lotsa friends, good grades in school and married early...but of course life had a brick in stock to throw in his face. He was an archaeologist but during an excavation of a Mesopotamian tomb in 87' he got cursed. The curse is called 'The Curse of the Floating Features' and makes his facial features float around randomly over his body (but he tries to keep them to his head or at least the upper body) He managed to get back to America, but his wife panicked when she saw him and told him to stay away from her and their daughter. Suddenly he realized he was all alone - no family, he couldn't show himself to his relatives, no friends, no job... He spent the first years of his life as a cursed man just driving around in his car, taking casual jobs (in disguise, of course) keeping his head low and looking for a new meaning of life. Gradually he got used to this way of living, but when he found out about Bridgeport he figured it might be a place where he actually could settle down and meet people who were going through the same issues that he was going through. But he wants to be rid of the curse, of course.
Anything Else:
After a couple of beers, ask him to do his 'funny dancing and singing stomach-face' thing.
