JASPER BURNS

Name: Jasper Burns
Age: 40
Species: Metahuman
Nominated by: Redbright
Factions: Redbright
Supports: Fae, Metahumans, Night Council
Neutral: Werewolves, Vampires, Ghosts
Against: All witches. Actual humans.
Campaign message: JASPER BURNS - BREAK THE CHAINS THAT BIND YOU.

Whispers are that Jasper Burns was involved in Lambeth, but they could just be that - rumors. It is no secret that Jasper openly supports the Fae, though. A researcher at Redbright, Jasper has been desperately trying to prove the connection between Fae and Metahumans, claiming that all metahuman power is owed to Fae and that it is with them, not the witches, that metahumans should be allied. Jasper's claims have been met highly skeptically, seen as a professor with too much time on his hands. But this campaign marks a bold move on his part.

Even more controversially, Jasper believes that the supernatural shouldn't hide. This seems, to many people, reason enough not to put him on the council as it would be far too dangerous for that point to ever gain actual traction. His rhetoric is all about not being scared, not letting a small handful of people stop the supernatural from living their life. (He will even point to poor Joe the Bear - how can that man ever go out?)

Jasper can't understand why a group of people with such power - especially true in the Fae's case - would allow themselves to be held down like this. "We can rise from the ashes like the proverbial phoenix! We will break the chains that bind us!"

The whispers continue -- Is he breaking the law just by saying this stuff? He couldn't possibly get elected, right?
