 Biography: 

People assume “Poke” got his nickname from his last name, though no one is quite sure, and no one knows or cares to know any better. “Poke” has been a common sight in the city and local area, kind of a legend if legends were made of homelessness, drug-addled nausea, and the ability to know and see most things that go on in the city without ever being noticed.

“Poke,” in his many coats and ‘homes,’ has been worked with and spotted daily in the decades since he’s been back from Vietnam, always willing to help out with information as long as the person asking has something worthy of payment. He’s a very familiar face, for however much longer he’ll be around.

 

''' Known Facts! '''

Poke was a photojournalist for the Vietnam war. As far as people know, the poor guy never picked up a rifle in his life.

That fact doesn’t mean he hasn’t seen some serious shit, and everyone’s seen the long, empty state from him that almost every Vet carries.

Poke has two, and only two moods: Chatty, or grumpy. Expect to be talking with him for an hour, or a minute.

Poke will gladly accept as payment cigarettes, drugs, or food. He’s not really one for cold, hard cash, stating that if you can’t burn it, snort it, shoot it, or eat it, it goes missing on the streets pretty quickly.

Oh, by the way, he’s done a lot of drugs in his time, if you can’t tell…. And you can tell.
