bio

John Miller was failed foot ball line backer that tried to turn his hobby of magic into a career. Unfortunately for John he wasn't a much better magician then he was a football player. He had just completed this last booking and was trying to deposit the check when he happened to be standing in line while the guy in front of him decided to rob the bank. Whipping his off his coat he produced a group of rabbits which distracted the robber while he bashed in the robber head with a dove's cage. Then John tied the guy up with a couple of silks until the cops could show up and take the vile thief into custody.

The bank manager was so inpressed with john that he hired him on the spot to do a
show for a local charity, where a TV network exec heard Johns story and approached
him for a Network special. This of course launched John on his life as a TV magician.

But John missed the excitement of his foot ball days and enjoyed the adrenaline he had experienced during the robbery. One night after his show he decided to try crime fighting for a second time.

John dressed in an old tux he found hanging in the back of the Magic Castle. He loaded his pockets, and there are lots of pockets in a magician's tux, with all the trick and gags he could find, and went out looking for trouble.

Four nights later and getting tired of waking the LA streets John was a bout to give up when shots ran out from behind shop up the street. And this is when john got the idea this wasn't the best Idea he had ever had. Unfortunately he didn't have a chance to change his mind since that was when trouble defined as a guy with a large gun decided to literally run into him. John panicked and grabbed the first think he could.

He tossed an object from his pocket at the guy, and a large cane appeared in midair
and hit the guy between the eyes. This Shocked both John and his opponent John
recovered first and followed the cane with a bunch of flowers, a long coil of paper, a handful of foam bunnies, and a floating zombie.

The robber wasn't really impressed by the flower, bunnies, coil, or cane, but he large aluminum ball did get his attention, really since it was the only thing that actually hurt when it hit him. Now more pissed then injured he brought his gun up to clear this bloke out of the way when the zombie came floating up between him and the clown in the monkey suite.

Since the robber wasn't paying him any attention John decided it might be time to
leave before he had to try the bullet catch with a real bullet. He had turned and
started running back up the way he had just come he noticed he wasn't really running
any longer. He was kind of floating but that wasn't going to stop him floating or
running he was going to get away.

When john stopped running he was on top of a fire escape he hadn't really intended to climb but he was out of harms way. Oh an there was a round aluminum ball floating next to his head.

"I must be dreaming" John said to no one.

~Really I'd think it was more of a Nightmare~

John shook his a head a spun around looking or the person who had just spoken.
~Really you might want to duck that guys still down there looking for someone to
shoot.~

John not having a better idea decided to follow the advice of the disembodied voice. It really was good advice. "Who's there?"

~Me~

"Who's You?"

~I'm me. You can call me Inidouh,~ came the voice again. ~Some have a called me the spirit of Loki, others the sword in the stone. But to you I'll be the spirit of magic. I'm the voice of knowledge and the gift of experience. I'll be your guide, your tutor, and your Muse. ~

"And what do I have to do to get this gift, give you my soul?"

~No there isn't much market for souls any more Ana Nicole saturated the market don't you know. No what I'll be getting from this is much more tangible. I get to live again. For the rest of your life I get live through you. Your Joy, your sorrow, the taste of the steak you'll have for dinner I'll get to feel those things. I won't be able to directly control your body, nor can I prevent you from doing anything, saying anything, or thinking anything. What I can do is give you advice, instruction and suggestions from my experience. ~

" And what if I don't want to follow your advice?"

~About all I can do is sing I'm Henry the Fifth until you change your mind.~ The metal globe floated over to the man cowering on the roof, ~Its not a deal with the devil your agreeing to but it may seem that way at times. If you agree to this you will never have a moment to yourself again. My thoughts will always be in the back of you mind, but you'll never be alone again.~

John looked at the shiny silver orb floating in front of his eyes, "And if I decide to not agree to this "gift" then what?"

~Then you climb down from this roof replace the tux you stole and hope that the guy with the gun didn't get a good look at your face, or doesn't like magic. And I go back to sleep until someone else picks up the tux and wakes me again~

John stood up and started climbing down "So are you the spirit of the Tux or the Zombie?" When he reached the street he started heading back towards the Castle.

~Neither and Both. I can be anything in the middle ages I was a shield or sword once I was saddle but I can be anything, A belt, A car, what ever helps me to blend in with the environment. The last person I interacted with was a Magician and so I was a tuxedo, but I could have been a robe or even a hat.~

On the way back to the Castle John and the spirit talked about what it would take for them to form a team. by the end of their walk John had decide he just couldn't stand to give up the chance to live up to his dream. And So a new mage was born True he had started as a faker and thus he was name Faker Mage
