Real Name: Hans Jung
Current Name: Jack Young
PB: Chuck Hittinger
Apparent Age: Twenty Something
History: Jack was born to a poor family in German in 1394. There really wasn’t much chance for him to advance in life even though he was rather bright. All of that changed with a chance Nicholas Flamel where he greatly impressed him who apprenticed him as a student where Jack showed true talent for alchemy and became one of his favorite students and learned many of his secrets.
However the darker gods felt Nicholas was going to powerful and starting to become a threat to their waning power. They set into motion events that would ultimately lead to the demise of both Flamel's and most of what they worked so hard to accomplish when the Flamels though they had discover the secret to the Elixir of Immortality. Jack barely survived the fall out and possesses many of the Flamel's journals and books on magic an Alchemy something that he has kept secret. Some of the servants of the Dark Gods made off with a few of the journals but Jack has most of them and has been slowly hunting down the other ones.
Jack has been in hiding ever since brewing the elixir of life every month to stay young and virtually immortal. Jack keeps just how powerful he really is a secret with only a few people left alive that still know.
To most he is just a nice fun loving guy with some still in alchemy if they know of such things and works very hard to blend in with the times. Every decade or so Jack likes to attend college again having found them to be a good way to blend in if he doesn't let himself stick out to much and he moves to different cities on roughly the same cycle. He is currently located in Denver where he runs a small bookshop after have graduated again at a college nearby.
Powers: Jack is an extremely powerful Alchemist. As such he is capable of Matter manipulation(Such as turning lead into gold and coal into diamonds), Force Blasts, Chlorokinesis, Pyrokinesis(Exciting Air molacules till they combust), Intangibility(By making object permeable to him with a touch) among other powers. These abilities are all do to the use of magic mixed with science that makes Alchemy work. Due to his aptitude for Alchemy Jack does not process much skill for sorcery or any other type of magic.
Jack is an immortal in the sense that as long as he takes the Elixir of Life he does not age, is unaffected by disease or poison, is slightly more durable than a normal person and has a minor healing factor in the hours after taking the Elixir. But otherwise he can be hurt and killed like a normal person. Though doing that is much harder said than done. After a month of not taking the Elixir the effects will quickly fade and he will start to rapidly age still he dies which he guess would be about a week.
Even for Jack the Elixir of Life is a complex thing to make and only know how to make it for himself.
