Biography

Murrit and the Dead Shufflers. Art by Xamag.

Jack Noir, once know as the Scathing Sharper, was once the leader of a feared crime ring, renown for its stranglehold on Derse: The Dead Shufflers. This stranglehold was secured through ransom -- specifically the dream self of Murrit Turkin, whom they kidnapped. Turkin had just awoken on the planet, and although he was a means to the end of getting leverage on the planet's royalty, Sharper grew fond of the seadweller and invited him into his ring. Murrit would become an integral member of the Shufflers, and was key to their success, while Murrit would use the skills he learned from his time with the Shufflers in his waking life as well. Eventually however, Murrit began to lose interest in the life of a criminal, and sold out the Shufflers.

Since then, Noir has been sentenced to a lifetime of community service.

Personality and Traits

Jack has no tolerance for things he doesn't want to do. His vicious demeanor, sarcastic nature and nasty attitude are readily apparent, and he exhibits a lack of concern for life that isn't his own. He is incredibly bitter about having to deal with community service, and constantly reflects on the times when he and his gang basically ruled over Derse.

While he is generally quite murderous and stab-happy, his time in community service (and the electric shocks he receives from his monitoring anklet when he misbehaved) have made him more reluctant to act on those impulses

Relationships

Murrit Turkin

Murrit was once a member of The Dead Shufflers. After he awoke on Derse, his Dreamself was kidnapped by the group in hopes of using him as leverage against the Dersite royalty. However, Scathing Sharper took a liking to the young Murrit, and he invited the seadweller into their fold. Murrit was a natural fit for the cut throat group, and began taking on their activities in his real life as well. However, Murrit eventually lost interest in that kind of life, and sold the group out. He hasn't looked back since.
