BJ was a 23-year old college football player at the University of San Fransisco. His father was a businessman and his mother a homemaker, his father never invested in his life but his mother always trying to remind him of their family's traditions, without caring if he did or not. He never really worried about his classes too much, just taking what he needed to and coasting by on his above-average intelligence. He loves the game, and the lifestyle. The only hitch was that whenever someone close to him has died, their shade has shown up that night in his bedroom seeking to one last talk. This is something he always calmly dealt with and never told anyone, always trying to shake off the weird feeling. This happened with friends, family, but mostly his reckless peers who were always getting into drugs, vehicular accidents and gang violence. Then one night he joined them - attending a party on a boat, he got drunk and drowned while watching his friends, oblivious to his absence, from just below the surface of the water. Once he died and merged with a Geist he dragged himself back on the boat and tormented them with his Curse, until he was satisfied they would understand what it was like to be forgotten.
After getting a good night's sleep BJ spent a couple weeks screwing around the city where nobody even thought to look for him. When he was done he just slipped back into his life as it was - or what was left of it. His college attendance had slipped, and he found himself benched on the team. His roommate was now scared of him, after what had happened on the boat, his disappearance where he didn't even think it odd that his roommate is gone, and BJ's 'devil may care' attitude. Their apartment in Chinatown is convenient for both of them; away from their families but not far away enough to have to experience true independence. BJ is now re-prioritizing his attitude towards life. Not just Dead but Death, he better understands the loss many in SF feel, a loss he before ignored, safe and aloof. He sought out a tutor to gain power over the dead, someone who cared less about what he would do with it and more with the favor to be paid, and learned how to bind them into a Fetter. In exchange he helped destroy an Avernian Gate and the Geist who made it their lair. While they parted amicably, BJ was left with a distinctly poor taste in his mouth. Now with this power he is beginning to look over the ghosts of SF, but less out of an interest to help as an interest to experience the strange moods of his Geist; having ignored it before, it is beginning to become more active and BJ enjoys the alternating feelings of mania and serenity that he has begun to experience, going with whatever his Geist seems to be directing him.
