Personal Style (write a short paragraph):

A.J. has an interesting assortment of clothing.

His host wore mostly blue jeans and cheap, brightly colored t-shirts - usually with logo's, designs, or sayings on them. He also had an assortment of shoes - boots, sneakers, chucks - and accessories like rings, necklaces, and armbands. He was from the South, so he didn't have many sweaters, sweatshirts, or jackets. But he did have a few. The two hooded sweatshirts he had were thin - one that was reversible, black and white on one side and lime green on the other, and one that was navy blue. He has two leather jackets - one chocolate brown and one black, both light - and one faded denim jacket. He also had a few pairs of sunglasses, a few ties and dress shirts, several bandanas, and one pair of dress pants.

That is the core wardrobe that A.J. has to work with, although he's gradually adding his own preferences to it.

A.J. has a few pairs of baggy, darker colored jeans, several shirts in grey, black, dark green, and dark blue, several sweatshirts, scarves, and heavy wool and parka coats, and one heavy black leather jacket.

Strengths (3 at least):
>> Heightened Senses (especially hearing)

>> Overly Confident (he's not nearly as strong/bad/skilled as he thinks he is)
>> Lack of Control (over both his impulses and his powers)
>> Easily Wounded (it's really easy to get under his skin or bruise his ego, or hurt his feelings)
>> Doesn't Know When to Quit (tends to push others just a little too far... and pay for it)

Dreams for the Future:
He's not very ambitious. His biggest dream at the moment is to mess with as many people - and other creatures - as he can. Deep down, his true calling is to be a Trickster, but that just wasn't in the cards.

Before A.J. was injured, his dream was to travel the world and he hoped to make a career in music, even if it was just playing back-up in a band or song-writing. Now, as he sits in the back of his own mind somewhere watching this demon do as it pleases, his ambition is to find a way to get control of his body and find answers to all his new questions.

Fears:
Anything more powerful than he is. God and Lucifer scare him deeply. As do most angels and powerful demons. He is also afraid of what will happen when the war between Heaven and Hell ends - no matter who wins, he's certain things won't end well for him. He has a phobia of dogs.

Death; never being able to speak to his loved ones again; being paralyzed if and when he ever does re-gain control of his body.

Hero(es):
Stiffler from American Pie.

Biggest Secret(s):
He secretly longs to be human, to belong with them again. Although he doubts it's possible, he desperately wants it to be. He forms connections and attachments with humans, even if he doesn't show it. He is actually closer to his humanity than he thinks.

Personality (write a decent paragraph):
A.J.'s host was very layed-back and mellow most of the time, sometimes excitable. A.J. adopted this persona in order to blend in after possessing this body. But, Pilgrim is very mischeivious and can be downright cruel. When in the presence of people who knew his host, he seems mellow and good-natured. He also learned to play the guitar to pull off this charade of becoming Aidan James Fletcher (though he can't play it well). But, even when "being" his host, he is manipulative and always working an angle. He is a sly fox and could be called a con-artist. He uses his powers and general smooth talking, telling people what they need to hear to do what he wants them to. He'll occasionally use hypnosis when all other options have failed, but it doesn't always work. He loves the ladies and will take whatever he can get. He's constantly tricking others into doing things to benefit or entertain him. The way he sees it, he's out to have as much fun as possible. He likes tormenting others, getting strong emotional reactions from them because it gives him the illusion of feeling the emotions himself. He is highly intelligent and has a lot of potential, but he doesn't apply himself unless prodded.

History:

Aidan James Fletcher was born to Sean Fletcher and Suzanne O'Brien-Fletcher on April 22, 1983. He began taking piano lessons when he was eight years old and stuck with it until he was in high school. Then he began taking guitar lessons and maintained his piano skills. When he graduated high school, he started playing his songs in clubs, bars, and coffee houses. He's had several jobs, including bartending and dealing cards at a casino.

On his twenty-forth birthday, Aidan was severely injured in a car accident. He was in a coma for nearly two months and one of his legs was shattered. His collar bone was also fractured and a few of his ribs were broken. But, the most serious injury was a fractured vertabrae in his back. The doctors did their best to repair the injury, but until he awoke, they wouldn't be able to tell if he would make a full recovery.

When Aidan woke up, he was unable to feel or move anything from the waist down. Months later, when his leg had healed after several surgeries, an experimental operation was performed on his spine in an attempt to repair the damage.

Miraculously, Aidan made a full recovery. Although, unknown to the doctors or his family and friends, it had nothing to do with the operation. A demon had taken possession of his body in his weakened physical and emotional state. From that moment on, a demon has been using his body and assuming his identity.

The demon possessing A.J. long ago forgot his own name. After he got out of Hell through The Devil’s Gate, he began remembering his mortal life, which had been forgotten during his time in Hell. These memories continue to plague him as he continues to spend more time wandering Earth in the guise of a human. He has rediscovered his favorite book, Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut and has taken on the name "Pilgrim" after the main character. He was 17 years old when he died, and can't remember much about his life. He remembers he was unhappy and angry, but he's not sure why that is. As he continues to live life in A.J.'s body, he remembers more and more about his human self, and it disturbs him and complicates his feelings.

Pilgrim’s real name is Clayton Wyatt Thatcher. He went by “Clay”. He was born on November 11, 1963 to Wyatt and Catherine Thatcher. Wyatt was 20 and Catherine was only 16. She got pregnant and the two married immediately, for there was no other option in the 60’s. Wyatt wasn’t at all happy with this arrangement. He had been trying to become a lawyer, but had to drop out of school and get a job as a mechanic. Catherine was a stay-at-home mom and never finished high school.

Wyatt loved his son, but was terribly unhappy with his job and his marriage. He and Catherine fought constantly and Wyatt was physically and verbally abusive toward Catherine. He never abused Clay, but Clay witnessed the abuse of his mother. Rather than being frightened by it, he was intrigued by his father’s behavior. He was fascinated by the power and violence and fear all mingling together. As a child, he always got poor or average grades in school, despite his high test scores. He rarely did his homework and often skipped class, but always showed a clear understanding of the material when called on during class time. He was a bit of a class clown and frequently got detentions and suspensions. He had several acquaintances but no real, close friends.

In his early childhood, Clay had a fascination with fire. His parents resorted to hiding anything flammable they kept in the house after he started several fires in the neighborhood. The first death he caused was when he was eight years old. A group of teenagers had punched a hole in the gas tank of a parked car. Clay stole a book of matches from a local store and lit the forming puddle on fire. The young man who owned the car had just gotten in the driver’s seat when the car ignited and the puddle spread to another nearby car. Both gas tanks exploded and the young man nearly burned to death before being rushed to the hospital. He died later from extensive burn wounds and smoke inhalation. Clayton felt bad, but also curious and powerful. He killed several small animals throughout his childhood, including a pet of a bully who enjoyed picking on him. Clay left the animal’s collar on the boy’s desk when he returned to school. The boy wet his pants and was sent home. He never picked on Clay again.

By the time Clay was 14 he’d built quite a reputation for himself and rumors circulated around him. Some people feared him while others were intrigued by him. He had several girlfriends during high school, but no steady relationships. His mother became increasingly frightened of him and his father didn’t know what to make of him. From the time he was 14 to the time he was 17, Clay committed a string of murders. He beat two men to death, dismembering one and burying the body parts all over the city of Boston and its suburbs. The other he incinerated, dumping the ashes in Charles River. Both men were listed as Missing, the bodies never recovered. He killed a man who cut him off in traffic, following him home and knocking on his door. He said he was interested in buying the truck sitting in his driveway and the man let him in. Once the man’s back was turned, A.J. bashed him over the head with a paperweight. He wiped the place of his fingerprints and took the paperweight with him. His first trophy. He committed a handful of murders, keeping belongings from each victim – all of them men. A hat, a set of car keys, a record, and a wedding ring. He caught the attention of the local authorities, as all of these murders followed the same pattern and had the same M.O.: the victims were all white men in their thirties who let their killer in willingly and were killed from behind from a blow to the head with a blunt object. The crime scenes were always clean of fingerprints and evidence (at least any evidence that could have been examined back then). The papers called him “The Front Door Killer” because he always managed to walk right through the front door.

Clay was amused at his anonymous notoriety and it was difficult not to brag to anyone he overheard talking about it. Instead he would join in casual conversation about the murders when he overheard people discussing it, get their thoughts and opinions, offer his own – different each time he talked to a new crowd. He finally sent a letter to the police he wrote on a type writer. This letter would have been his undoing, for the ‘F’ key on his type writer was damaged and had a line through it where the ink didn’t stick. The cops latched onto that clue and started doing some deep investigation.

His last victim was a sixteen-year-old girl he was dating. He was a senior in high school while she was a junior. They were parked in his car drinking one night and she brought up the murders, saying she didn’t want to be out late with a killer on the loose. He laughed, which startled her, and he made a few remarks that startled her further. Then he started telling her about all the trophies he’d kept, showing her his car keys and saying only 3 of the keys were his. The rest belonged to John something-or-other from Dorchester. The more he talked, the more outraged and frightened she became. She eventually tried to flee the car and run from him. He ended up strangling her and stowing her body in his trunk. After a lot of thought, he left her on the side of the road in plain sight, where she’d be found sooner rather than later, and drove home. He was genuinely guilty and sad about her death. Shortly after it, he hung himself in the attic of his house and left no note.

He went to Hell and spent what seemed like a hundred years on the Rack before he was offered a deal: pick up the carving knife and join the demon ranks. And so he did until he escaped through the Devil’s Gate. Now he leap-frogs from host to host, living their lives and making them more interesting.

The Front Door Killer was never found, and every once in a while a new murder matching the M.O. will pop up, baffling police. As far as they know, he's still alive and active, getting better and better at his craft.

-In 2014-

A.J. Fletcher


A.J.'s demon was exorcised in 2010 and he has since dedicated his time to music and the supernatural. He has done a lot of research on demons and has acquired quite a bit of information. He wears a protective anti-possession amulet around his neck and carries a water pistol full of holy water. He's not much for combat, but he's very useful with research. He's perfectly happy to run boring errands or get a hunter coffee, or do a lot of intense research.

A.J. was living in Mississippi with his family when Lucifer rose. He started traveling and doing more research. He is well-read in the Bible, but he never would've imagined the war between Heaven and Hell could actually be brought to human soil. He continued to learn more about the supernatural world, helping hunters along the way if he could.

Since the outbreak, A.J.'s learned the hard way that he's immune to the Croatoan virus - a bonus from being possessed, he assumed. He's learned to defend himself a bit, though he's better with some sort of weapon than his bare hands. He travels from place to place, stopping in various camps when he can to see if he can be of any assistance. He also avoids demons like the plague, no pun intended.

Pilgrim


After he was exorcised from A.J., Pilgrim went back to Hell. However, he was soon summoned back to earth by a crossroads demon named Paimon. There was work for him, Paimon said, if he was willing to carry out tasks for higher ranking demons in return for gaining free passage between Hell and Earth. Pilgrim agreed and began running errands for other demons, building his power as he did so. His host was a man who believed himself to be harboring a case of multiple personality disorder. Pilgrim possessed him when needed, only to leave whenever his job was done to return to Hell.

However, once Lucifer rose, Paimon told Pilgrim his services were no longer needed and planned to send him back to Hell. What Paimon didn't know was that Pilgrim had anticipated something like this and already had a plan of escape. That plan was Jason Lumas, a 25-year-old psychic with a tendency toward insanity. Pilgrim found him and made a deal: If Jason allowed Pilgrim to possess him for a length of time, Pilgrim could make him more powerful so when he left the body, Jason's powers would have grown. Jason agreed.

Jason's psychic powers are similar to Pilgrim's demonic ones. He has telepathy and mind control abilities with the added bonus of telekinesis. A power Pilgrim has that Jason doesn't is pyrokinesis. Any powers the two share are now enhanced, since Pilgrim has a psychic link to the host and the host is willingly letting him share in his power.

Powers from strongest to weakest:

• Mind control: Pilgrim can now control the actions and emotions of others to a certain degree. He does this sort of like hypnosis, opening a door and going into their minds, then planting something there. The mind control wears off as soon as he leaves the victim's vicinity, or if he is injured or effectively distracted. Psychics, witches, and other demons have a natural resistance to this power, and it is possible, just like with hypnosis, that if a person is strong willed enough, they can fight it.
  
• Telepathy: Pilgrim can send thoughts and images to another being. He can also receive them. This works both in his favor and to his detriment, since if a psychic working against him wishes, he or she can combat him this way. Also, sometimes he can't block out the thoughts of others effectively and he gets overwhelmed by them if he's in a crowd. This ability works best with other psychics and demons.
  
• Pyrokinesis: At one time, this was Pilgrim's weakest ability. However, he has learned to control it very well and when he's in full control of a host, it's a very effective power. However, his current host shares his consciousness with him and this is not a power he's at all used to handling, so sometimes it backfires. Water weakens this ability, especially of the holy variety.
  
• Telekinesis: Pilgrim is one of the few demons unfortunate enough not to have inherited this ability (moving objects with one's mind). However, his host, as a psychic, does possess this ability and allows Pilgrim to tap into that power when he needs to. But, since it's not one of his natural powers, Pilgrim doesn't really know how to handle it and relies heavily on his host to effectively use this power.

Other demon abilities, such as enhanced speed, senses, and reflexes, still apply.

One of Pilgrim's greatest strengths is that he is able to keep his host straddling that line between consciousness and unconsciousness. It's something he's always done when possessing a human in order to assemulate his personality traits. In this case, that ability is also a weakness, since Pilgrim's not so much in control of this body, but being allowed to borrow it. Pilgrim also forms a psychic link to his hosts, allowing him access to their minds. But, in this case, the link goes both ways in order for him to share his host's psychic powers. So, not only does he have access to his host's mind, but the host has access to his. Pilgrim has no idea how dangerous this position could ultimately be for him. Especially when, to perform certain tasks (the use of telekinesis, for example), he has to give his host full control of the body.

Currently, Jason is continuing to allow Pilgrim to use him, but he has an agenda all his own.

Note: Pilgrim still has a psychic link to A.J., and he'll occasionally send him some weird image or pop in on him unannounced just to freak him out.
