On Playing Jena

Jena Blake is, hands down, one of the best actualized role-playing characters I have had in a long time. She's a strong character and fun to play as and write for. The biggest issue is that I am not nearly as outgoing as she is so she tends to act more cautiously or quietly than she ought to.

She is a reporter and blogger (aren't the two mostly the same?) and a mage in the Cult of Ecstasy. She is also a follower of sorts of Hunter Thompson, most famous for Fear and Loating in Las Vegas. (A book I am still trying to find.) Her voice and writing style reflect his to some degree.

Her blog, "Words of Blake," is where she writes things she notices or observes that she probably can't sell as news stories. (Yes, the name of the blog is a reference.) I write "entries" from time to time so you'll get to see those. I hope you enjoy them.
