Helloooo, lovelies! This is Haley
again, it's a sickness, introducing my newest addition to the family. Rusty Nelson is a former boxer and businessman from St. Louis, recently retired from the world of normalcy to pursue a career in something a little more eclectic. He is a medium, and has been aware of his ability since childhood. It has gotten him into heaps and heaps of trouble, as you can imagine, and being able to talk about it freely without fear of being judged is something he's still adjusting to.
He's never really
not being pushed or prodded at by a spirit or entity wanting to make contact or pass along a message, so he tends to space out and go on a sort of mental 'lock down' from time to time. He works very hard to keep his messages and 'visitors' positive, but an occasional nasty thing will slip through. When that happens, he'll try to seclude himself as much as possible -- unfortunately for him, the change in temperament will still be easy to pick up on, especially to those prone to empathy.
He also works as a roustabout, because even though he is a gentle giant, he is still perfectly capable of laying down the law. He's been part of the carnival for a few months, but he's a private person and would have done more one-on-one work so he wouldn't necessarily know everyone's names. Or, because he does have a tendency to be forgetful, he might have learned a name at some point but can't quite place it when he comes across them again. Only recently has he emerged and started to become more social, now that he's adjusted to the place.
More information on him
