Aaahh I’m glad you like him but I can’t say for sure what I’m going to do with this character!
Originally he was a last-minute addition to Chapter 2 to provide some exposition but he ended up growing into something more. Jasper’s an useful character in that way though; he’s just a humble odd-job dude who’s always available when Chie needs someone to talk (and vent) to. Also he’s the only one who’s below Chie in the ranks so that’s an interesting detail too
I doubt he’ll disappear but he won’t be a major player in the plot either… There’s a way I could write Jasper a nice little subplot of his own but we’ll see if I can sneak it into the comic smoothly :)
