inchesofevilName:
Duncan Heimdall Jackson, but he goes by Heimdall on the internet.
Age:

Powers:
> Healing Factor
> Offensive Holy Magic
> Resurrection & Demon Summoning
Housing & Job:
> Heropa #035
>Zookeeper at the Heropa Zoo's Bird Exhibit
> Action Scientist at Tesladyne Industries
Appearance:
5'8", brown hair, blue eyes, built like a weed. Constantly full of nervous energy and can't sit still for more than a couple minutes at a time. His clothing choices tend toward a simple jeans/T-shirt combo, with a flannel shirt added on if the weather's on the cool side. He always wears long sleeves though, which means long-sleeved Ts or an undershirt (and I mean always, no matter how warm the weather is). Always boots, never sneakers. Motorcycle jacket pending.
He's also got his leather armour, which looks like this. He doesn't wear it much because he prefers to blend in with the natives as much as possible, but he's come to treat it as a formal uniform because it's what he wore in his official role as head of the church, so expect to see it whenever he's acting on any kind of ImPort business.
Personality:
In short, he's friendly and sociable but also kind of like an angry chihuahua who's never happy about anything. He's high-strung and emotionally volatile and explodes over the tiniest things but wears himself out being angry and then immediately feels awful about it forever. Intensely loyal and will go out of his way to help people, even if he doesn't know them at all.
But also, like, extremely pragmatic and disturbed by his own willingness to put pragmatism/logic/logistics above ethics. He can talk himself into some pretty awful stuff if he believes the end justifies the means. This has been tested; he was on the start of a slow spiral into villainy when he got pulled from his world and it'll probably happen again here as soon as he finds a cause to believe in.
History:
He grew up on an emu ranch in Texas, just outside of Austin. He got a BS in Genetics with a minor in Biology, and then went to grad school in Fall City, Oregon, which is basically fictional future Portland. He very carefully trained himself out of his Texas accent but it still comes out occasionally.
He was a nerdy MMO RPer and then that MMO world merged with earth and all of his and his friends' RP characters from the game became real and self-aware and not all of them took it well. One of his characters' close CR became obsessed with him as a symbolic representation of everything bad about players in general and wound up murdering Duncan's sister in a misguided attempt at revenge. That started a chain of events that culminated in Duncan murdering a demi-god to eat his heart so he could resurrect his sister.
And then meeting the god of fear in the underworld and becoming so traumatized by it that he decided the only path available to him was to find a way to end death entirely, which...turned out to be a surprisingly murderous path, all things considered.
Eating that demi-god's heart also put him in charge of fantasy-MMO-world's church, giving him the title of "Vahishta" and a cadre of auxiliary bishops to constantly police his behaviour, sigh sigh sigh.
