Name: Norman Albertson
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Description: Norm is a pretty ordinary looking guy. Okay, he may currently be wearing an apron over a business suit, but that's just because he scheduled a job interview over his lunch break and was in a rush to get back. He's still trying to make up his mind on what he's going to tell his boss if he notices.
Norm is pretty bad at managing his time. He tends to run from place to place in a panic, hoping his various screw-ups (most of which stem from running place to place in a panic) don't make him lose his current job. His average time of employment is roughly two months, shorter if there's an... accident.
Norm doesn't like to talk about the accidents.
Weapons and Abilities: Norm doesn't have anything special on him. Just his wallet, and a pen and notepad in the pocket of his apron.
He doesn't have any special abilities either. Not any more, anyways, and thank goodness for that, they're always so much trouble when you think about it...
Well, okay, that power that lets him turn his fingernails blue still works as far as he knows. But he can't turn them back and has to wait for them to grow out and it's always so awkward to explain...
Look, he doesn't have any superpowers, okay? That's all you need to know.
Biography: Norm likes to say his life is unremarkable, but that's not really true. That's just what he wishes it was like.
Norm tends to bounce around from job to job. He's been a librarian, a convenience store clerk, a secretary, a security guard, a photographer, a bank teller, a bouncer, a museum tour guide, a teaching assistant, and most recently a barrista. He usually picks up a little from each job, even if it doesn't last very long.
The main reason his jobs don't last very long is that he has a history of getting into strange accidents. These bizarre, unlikely accidents often grant him strange powers, which usually go away somewhere between half an hour and two weeks.
Norm doesn't like to talk or even think about the exciting adventures he has while he's empowered, because most of them ended up being embarrassing in some way, usually in a way that leaves him unemployed. He hasn't even tried to call in any of the various favors he's earned from saving faraway countries or lost underground kingdoms. He'd just as soon forget about it all.
So as you can imagine, he's not too keen on being entered in an interdimensional battle to the death. But it's not like he's not used to things like this happening without him getting any say in the matter.
