party, or the joker of the night. History: Jory
Sutherland was born the oldest child of James and Esther Sutherland,
influential Real Estate Developers of New Orleans. He and his 2 younger
sisters grew up on the Estate nearest to Bellevue. While he was two years
older than Callie, his sisters, twins were the same age as she, so the four
children grew up close. Or as close as they were allowed. Jory, as the elder,
and only boy, spending most of his time teasing and ordering the girls
around. When he was 9, his father died of a heart attack, and his mother
relied heavily upon Callie's father, Edward Natori, the closest friend James
had had. As best he could, Callie's father became a surrogate father to Jory,
teaching him as best he could, to become a man. Shortly before Jory's 14th birthday, Eve was driving them home
after a trip into the city. It was a terribly stormy night, when lightning
struck the car, and Eve lost control of the vehicle, there was nothing any of
them could do. The car left the road airborne, and slammed into a tree with
enough force that Jory flew out of the front window, and the car exploded
within seconds, his mother and sisters trapped inside,and he himself barely
alive. He had no idea how long it was before he was found, but found he was,
and by Edward Natori, or Uncle Nat as he and his sisters had always called
him. He didn't remember much of that moment, except the man fervently
whispering in his ear, asking him something, he found himself agreeing to, to
save his life. Days later, he awoke safely ensconced in a guest room at
Bellevue, both Callie, and "Uncle Nat" at his side. After sending
Callie from the room, the adult explained, that there was no way the
ambulance could arrive in time to save Jory's life, He had taken things into
his own hands. His "uncle" was a lycanthrope, and had infected
Jory. Now, not only was Jory the only surviving member of his family, but the
newest member of Edward's pard. Edward Natori was legally his guardian until
he was 18 anyway, so even in Jory's distraught mind things made sense. Over
the next few years , he learned all he could at Edward's hand, even managing
to move through the ranks of the pard. As Edward's favorite, besides his
daughter of course, it wasn't a hard task. He stayed until he was 18, and then took off on his own, to
see the world. He attended Harvard, but really wasn't into it. and eventually
ended up pretty much bumming around the world, until he feel into the world
of casinos, and gambling. For the last 5 years, he has become a world reknown
professional gambler. But, has found himself bored with that life, and
thinking of home. And so, he has come home to New Orleans, to his former
pard, and Bellevue. Strengths:
Jory has normal were strengths, as well as the ability to heal through power
and blood. His speed is average, thoug his strength and cunning supercede it
by far. His time traveling the world has made him a skilled fighter, managing
to learn a little of this and that, enough to keep them guessing in a fight.
Over the years of travel, he visited many pards wit han introduction letter
from Edward, and learned all that was necessary to become the powerful alpha
he now is. Weaknesses:
Jory has a stronger aversion to silver than even the weakest of lycanthropes.
Even the slightest touch can cause a festering wound, that would take forever
to heal, if not immediately cleansed, and flushed by fluids of another
leopard. Quirks:
Jory drives a silver porche, and hates for anyone to touch it. In fact, he
gets down right pissy if someone dares to touch his baby. Other: |
