This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Robert Elvis Slade, a major character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Verse Three, Chapter One and returns...later.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about him, plus a few extrapolations, in that first book, and thus represents him as he is in the penultimate chapter.

The picture was dug up on the Internet as an approximate image of him; it's not accurate, but it will suffice.

The referee will undoubtedly notice that many "necessary" details are absent here, among them stats on most of the weapons and situation modifiers on most of the spells.  These are not particularly needed for the fundamental purpose of writing the book, and so have not been included; they might be added at some future date if they become more useful.  Meanwhile, you know how to work out such things if you've got the Referee's Rules, and if you don't you're probably adapting it to your own use anyway.

Personal History

Robert Elvis Slade was an auto mechanic in his young twenties S002.  He use to smoke, but quit; he kept a wooden strike anywhere kitchen stick match in his teeth to replace that S001.  He was never a Boy Scout S002.  He received a new high-speed CD player for his car stereo for Christmas in 1999, and was installing it some time before the New Year celebration of the millennium when he got a nasty shock and versed out S004 S022.  He's since been a bit nervous about electrical and electronic things.

Arriving in NagaWorld, he decided there must be something supernatural about it.  It didn't sound like anything he'd learned in catechism, so he figured some other religion must be true.  About the only other religion he knew anything about was the Norse faith--he'd read a series of fantasy books in which they were major characters--and it made some sense that perhaps he was being prepared for the final battle at Ragnorak.  He took that as his new faith S001.  He was trying to strip parts off vehicles on the edge of the Battlefield when he was hit by a projectile weapon and versed out S004.

His explanation for his apparent lack of aging was that he had elfin blood, or that he might have gotten too close to the djinni S014.  After Mica’s vesting S014 S015 Torrence suggests that Shella should come with him to visit Slade.  He tells Torrence he can’t marry her S016.  Argues with Torelle that people should get to plan their own lives S018.  Shella blows him a kiss as he verses out S020.
