Literature Text

Name: Jacob Highland aka Trenton
Age: 22
Height: 5'8 (~173cm)
Weight: 130lbs (~59kg)
Race: Demigod (half-human, half forest/mountain god)
Intelligence: Below average
Distinguishing marks: Covered in scars, the majority of which are focused on his neck and arms; missing his right eye. Glass replacement is discolored and mostly white.
Clothing, etc: Nothing impressive. Wears normal, modern clothing and prefers to keep most of his body covered. Has no fashion sense so is generally plain-looking.

Special skills: Near-immortality (details to follow), some control over preexisting vegetation, the ability to see spirits/ghosts, can function as a gateway for gods and the dead. Almost all abilities are amplified by the presence of his blood. Also, he feels better if he can be outside and barefoot.

That whole "immortality" thing: Despite using the term "immortal," it is possible to kill Trenton. Pretty easily, in fact. Incapacitate? Even easier.

Things that result in total death:
- Decapitation
- Cutting him in half
- Burning him (with a forest god as a father, he is susceptible to fire)
- Suicide
Things that result in temporary death:
- Drowning (cannot revive until water is removed from lungs)
- Stabbing him in the vitals and leaving the weapon in (cannot revive until it is removed)
- Hypothermia (cannot revive until body temperature returns to normal)
Things that cause him general distress:
- Being stabbed (he only heals to the point where it is no longer fatal. Serious injuries still remain)
- Strangulation
- Having his throat slit (very messy and annoying)
- Limb removal (oh god oh god what did you do that is going to take forever to reattach)

Personality: Constantly overwhelmed by the desire to help others, pet bunnies, protect orphans, grow flowers, etc. Is the kind of idiot who will sacrifice himself for someone, learn they betrayed him, and then do it again. He is a strict believer in second chances (and third chances, fourth chances, fifty-seventh chances…). Gullible. Also believes that everyone should be nice to everybody else and that no one is truly "evil," just misguided. He's generally laid-back and kind but if he sees you doing something horrible and you won't stop after he asks nicely, he has the potential to get pissed off. If you are scary and mean, he'll probably want to run away but he's got the heart of a hero and won't (if not for his pseudo-immortality, he'd be dead a billion times). Often blames himself for failures and events that were out of his control.

Background: Trenton comes from a world in which mass belief becomes reality, be it in regards to urban myth, religion, etc. If enough people believe in a god, that god exists. He's had two near-death experiences in his past, the second of which apparently resulted in his near-immortal state as well as complete memory loss (hence the change in name). It is unlikely that he will ever regain his memory and he doesn't particularly mind. Trenton spends the majority of his time working at an orphanage and planting things in his garden. When he's not home or at work, he's usually running around cities, feeding the homeless and attempting to make a difference without being horribly arrested. His god!powers are generally weak but the more contact he has with other gods and spiritually-related entities, the easier it becomes for him to control his abilities.

B4T5R: Thorton, enraged by the seal which kept the gods from the five realms, expanded his reach across the dimensions in search of fighters who might prove useful to him. Unable to directly interfere with the five realms, he gathered the combatants he found the most promising and, because of his connection to the gods of his own dimension (and perhaps because Thorton thought he had a snazzy name), Trenton was among them.
