Another Archive section gunked up by the Other-Other(Other?) Man? Seriously what the heck! In the interim, Jean didn’t do much as God’s Otherman the second time around. Well—we did kill Fate, one of God’s biggest threats—so… He did do something. But he definitely took a back seat to the whole correcting time and space. Though I’ve never been entirely clear on why Jean-Marc quit? I didn’t know that was something an Otherman could do? Let me rewind like the Otherman for a second and see if I can figure out what’s going on.
So, jump back an entire Universe ago to the 15th Canonical Sphere… Jean-Marc was a happy little French boy born in Baltimore, Maryland. Then his parents moved to Detroit, Michigan, and then died in a mysterious fire set by Miss. Cadillac, the Nain Rouge, the Demon of the Strait, a fiendish entity of misfortune and mishap. Well, sort of. He’s less a “Demon” of the Strait as he is more so the Angel of the Strait. A puppet of sorts used by God to enact certain events to occur… yes, by the way, that does sound a lot like Fate, doesn’t it? The pot really loves to call the kettle black. Anyway, with Jean’s parents dead, he was set on a path toward the supernatural world. He then hooked up with Lucifer (the absolute Rizzard of Oz that he is), got Blighted out by the Wicked, started the Cafe and Diner, and then the Nain Rouge came a callin’ once again and burnt his whole world down. However, the Nain Rouge (by proxy God) made a deal with poor Jean-Marc.
See, that whole “Blighted by the Wicked” business was no joke, and Jean-Marc was set to, more or less, explode in a funk-tastic haze of fire, guts, and Blight. God said, hey, don’t worry about that, I’ll cure you of this Blight… but… I’m going to need you to become my right-hand man. Pop up to the Topside with me, and I’ll give you all the power and knowledge of the universe so you can fix it and keep it running and in order. And, yeah, Jean-Marc accepted, and boom—Otherman. Though it begs the question: why, oh, why, sweet, sexy, French, Jean-Marc?
I don’t know. I’ll look into it. I could also ask him, I guess. He is back to living among us lowly mortals again. Anyway, blah, blah, blah, 16th Sphere stuff happened (read all about it in the Archives), God came back, Nikki and Seth vanished, Rico and Nick went to save them, God said: “Hey, Jean, good to see you again. Can you please come back to your old job? Things aren’t going well.” Jean said, “Yeah, sure.” He became the Otherman again for a few years, ended up orchestrating the death of Fate, Wicked, and Phantom, then… quit? I guess? Or… maybe he was no longer suitable for the position? Hm…
Anyway, we have a new non-Jean-y Otherman who is smoothing out space-time wrinkles. That could be a good thing or a bad thing, though it might ultimately just be… a thing. I’ll see about considering speaking to Jean though Alfa wants us to have minimal contact with the Daubers for now.
