A.E.P.J.- Alan Johns'son
[In old times, only first names, and the persons' fathers' name were used to ID the person, within towns, hence, the last name Johnson literally means son of John. Also, in VERY small towns, just the name of the town was substituted, as in Robin Hood, Sir Robert of Locksley.]
Alan is, and was, a 23 year old male human who was transported through unknown means to an unknown location. He lived in a small room in a small apartment building, and had a small income. None of that really matters now. Alan is, and was, something you would call an Empath. He had, and still has, the ability to sense the feelings of others around himself, and those feelings can, and do, alter his mood significantly.
After Reading a Strange Book, Alan was granted the ability known as Beast-Speak, which is known to allow a person to converse with animals as if they were human. Normally Beast-Speak is limited to about 30 minutes of length before it wears off, but this was given through apparently divine means, giving it permanence. Alan was also given Knowledge of the True State of The World. This means that Alan now has the ability to control unworldly phenomena through his thoughts and actions. He is now similar to something that you would call a sorcerer, or wizard.
