LORE
While Jerry insists his title is "Herald of a Funky Good Time", he's more widely known as "Herald of Vanquished Woes" which, eh, close enough. He's patron deity of celebrations, jubilation, and mass euphoric experiences. He's usually called forth during festivals and holidays, and his interaction can be as simple as watching over the party goers to ensure their safety, to casting one of his mass euphoria spells and partying down. If the summoning party is cool enough, Jerry will usually hang around to party with them for an hour or so before slinking away and keeping watch to make sure nothing bad happens to all the inebriated people, guiding them back to their homes safely after by use of his psychedelic butterflies.
Given his usually very positive interactions, Jerry's pretty well liked god, but makes no demand for worship or followers. Despite that, there is a sizeable following for him and shrines dotted across the continent. Jerry calls them his lil buddies, doesn't like the word "cult" used for them. He tries his best to treat them like friends rather than worshippers, but mortals gonna do what mortals gonna do. He insists on turning his shrines into free housing for the homeless/weary travelers, and tells his followers, if they really want to do something to make him happy, care for the helpless and hurt, reduce suffering, increase happiness. Don't build bombs or dismember yourselves or others for any reason.
To Summon Jerry: Assembling a circle of mushrooms. Step inside. Perform an original dance while lip syncing your favorite song. Bonus points for elaborate drag costume, and/or accompanying harmonica, ocarina or recorder. Proficiency with instruments not required.
Offerings appreciated but not required.
100 - 200 years; learning magic, bopping around witchwood with the homies. when jack accidentally makes a nightmare land after lucifer hurts sabine, jerry's sucked in, but he's always having a good time there. he goes around rapturing people out. otherwise, he's having whacky adventures with his bro and collecting his funky good time powers
300 years; Meets a unicorn, ig??? Or Jack dreams him one. Regardless, he now shows up at all summonings and in dream/nightmarescapes on said unicorn.
400 years; MASS DISAPPEARANCE EVENT??? idk why yet
500 years; puts out a harmonica album
600 - 700 years; building up the brand
800 years; He hangs around the Witchwood, with Jack and Sabine in their little protective dreamscape bubble. often visits Travis as well (unless Travis is also around the Witchwood idk). Basically he tends to the little communities he and teddy build and otherwise bounces around from celebration to celebration, or wherever he's summoned.

AESTHETIC
When summoned, Jerry appears in a cloud of psychedelic colored butterflies that swarm about him, periodically landing and merging into his clothes and face, making him look like a walking LSD fueled rainbow. His hair might be in elaborate braids with glitter tossed on it, with little multicolored shiny bobbles and beads woven. He's also covered in more tattoos, all iridescent and shiny, though they can shift around and make commentary like Maui in Moana.
Also, he rides a unicorn. The unicorn's name is Jean-Claude Van Damme. It sometimes appears skeletal in nightmares.
When hanging with other Summoned or just wandering around hoping not to be recognized, he looks like his usual (not really that inconspicuous) self - dumb graphic tee and shorts.

Enemies: I don't mind negative CR, as long as it has some kind of goal. Jerry's pretty hard to get onto the bad side of. If a character fucked with Jack, Sabine or Travis, that's a solid route to negative CR. Or, if they fucked with his followers, and did not apologize or explain themselves (shit happens, you know, he's understanding), that'll be another route. He doesn't really get actively antagonistic unless there's an immediate threat, but we can try to make it happen if someone wants to aim for that.
Relationship-wise: Jerry's concept of sexuality and relationships is pretty laissez faire. He tends to flirt a lot, with anyone, at any time, including people actively trying to kill him, so probably had relations with mortals and gods both, and might even have something more serious and stable now and again. So anything from chance one offs to longer flings, hit me up and we can plot something.
Pls bring me:
- party friends
- people who've needed his mass hallucination/crowd control skills before
- fans of his harmonica album
- fuck buddies/frenemies/acquaintances or long term pals with benefits
- magic sensei
- collaborators, despite being party dude, he does a lot of chemical/mechanical invention
- math nerds
- trauma bonding buds
- IDK ANY CR, HE'S NEW
ABILITIES
TOAD MILK (The Good Trip)
"One drop of this and you’ll be able to read God’s mind." The psychedelic butterflies launch off Jerry's person and flutter around the person/peoples requesting a Funky Good Time, sprinkling euphoric dust to induce a delightful drug haze. Only good vibes here, party down, commune with the spirits, go on a vision quest, have an enthusiastically consensual orgy, it's the age of Aquarius, y'all. Can also inspire great creativity, ingenuity, invention, and philosophical enlightenment.
SHAMAN BOOGERS (The Bad Trip)
"One of these can split your consciousness right open and show you the secrets of the universe." Maybe there's a reason the universe has secrets, and your brain isn't equipped to handle it. No matter how many good thoughts you think, you're not coming back from this in one piece. Reality turns inside out and so do you - body, mind and spirit. At least, as far as you can perceive. This is every brand of nightmare fuel and psychological horror. Whether it's body horror or existential terror or being convinced all their friends are giant spiders trying to eat you, the victim is wholesale enveloped in the false reality they're being shown. Often, victims go insane, or become violent, or run screaming into the wilderness to be lost forever.
VISION QUEST
The peaceful, but guided trip. Much like the good trip, everyone's having a funky time, but Jerry appears to the people as the Prophet. If Prophet Jerry says do the hokey pokey, the people are doing the hokey pokey. If Prophet Jerry says raid Area 51, we're raiding Area 51 (or the Feywilds idk). The inebriated feel a compulsion to tell him the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Maybe some extra overshare or trauma dumping. During this vision quest, he is the most trusted being the influenced can conceive of.
RAPTURE
The peaceful, but final trip. Very mysterious, not often seen. Coincides with mass disappearances. (I haven't decided where they go yet shh)
LUCKY HARMONICA
