Jay

Bio
Jay was born into a middle of the road family in Watsky. Not much is known about Jay's upbringing. He was separated from his parents at the age of eleven and was forced into the world of Terry Tornado's Hippodrome. Given food, shelter, clothing, and a few pieces of gold to line his pockets; Jay figured it was safer to stay in the circus than run away and end up on the streets for who knew how long.

He started off learning the tricks and trades of the nonmagical performers: namely the clowns and sword swallowers. His favorite trick he learned was fire juggling.

His Accident
The "Wagon Incident" happened when he was nineteen. During one of the many moves the circus made, one of their wagon had an axel snap. Jay and three others (two humans and a gnome) stayed back, promising they'd make a speedy repair and be back with the others in no time. The damage was pretty common and the four men were confident that they had everything under control despite the wagon being a bit heavy and the winding trail being on an incline. The humans held up the wagon, the gnome would do the repair, and Jay would be there to hand him tools and hold the wagon when one of the other guys needed a break. What they didn't account for was for someone to lose their grip on the wagon so early while Jay crouched down to be able to shove wedges of wood under the other wheels, his hand on the ground to steady himself. As the other man buckled under the weight solely in his hands, the wagon started to roll back, effectively crushing Jay's left hand. Without a healer in their small party, they relied on a potion left by their house medic for the circus. Due to an allergic reaction, the bones in Jay's hand mended but also became pliant. Like really pliant. Within the month, the curious side effect spread up his forearm. Eleven months later, every bone still did their job but was sickly flexible. Terry saw the potential of a new cash cow and moved Jay permanently to the freak show; at the time referred to as "The Oddities".
