Reginald Blake
Absent Minded Paranormal Investigator
Reginald Blake (Reggie to his friends) is an incredibly rich but absent-minded paranormal investigator. When he is absorbed into a 13th century text about the Slivonian Vampire Dynasty he can rattle off facts and figures with blinking. In the real world, Reggie had been known to forget to pay the electric bill or try to water his car. If he had his choice, Reggie would prefer to stay in his mansion and research the occult and the Fortean, corresponding to clients via phone and Internet. But Sonia, his older sister and best friend, insisted on hiring someone to join him. At first he was cool to the “intruder”, but Alyson Ford won him over.
His reputation leads outside agencies to call upon his services in a variety of cases. To this end he travels the world with his aide Alyson, fighting the strange and the bizarre. These investigations, and the influences of Sonia and Alyson, have opened Reggie to a world he ignored for years. His natural charisma often times will smooth over hard feelings he may cause with his forgetfulness. Though not the most social of people, he is becoming to come out his shell. While he leaves the fighting to Alyson most of the time, Reggie has proven to not be a pushover when backed into a corner.

Hook: Absent Minded Professor: While Reggie is an expert in the Paranormal, his mind can wander when confronted with most things outside of his field. This can sometimes lead to interesting situations.
Alyson Ford
Bodyguard Bound To The Wild
A former corporate security agent, Alyson Ford parted ways with her former employers when the CEO’s son got a little to “hands-on” for her taste. She beat him within an inch of his life. After a nice financial settlement to prevent a lawsuit, she settled down for a long vacation. She was on the phone with her travel agent when Sonia Blake, an old high school friend called her. Sonia needed an aide for her eccentric brother Reginald. Expenses and lodging would be provided for her. She said yes, and joined Reggie in his paranormal investigations.
Tough, cynical and beautiful, Alyson is a dangerous woman to cross. She acts as a safeguard against some of Reggie’s more awkward interactions with people. Part of her is fond of Reggie because he treats Alyson as a person, the other part is driven to distraction by his eccentricities. Alyson is trained in the martial arts and marksmanship. But there is another side to Alyson, and it goes back to her childhood.

Alyson was abducted for an arcane ritual on her seventh birthday. She was meant to be the vessel for a beast spirit, which her abductors hoped to use as enforcers and assassins. The spirit that was bound to Alyson grew fond of her fighting spirit, and the bonded far beyond what their captors had imagined. Alyson and her “sister” Ally (what Alyson calls the spirit) escaped their kidnappers causing much damage in this process. Alyson shares many of the abilities of her beast spirit (a feline spirit) and uses them. These abilities include increased strength and stamina, claws, and running. Ally can take control of Alyson in dangerous situations.

Hook: Sister Takes Control. When Alyson is in danger, Ally will take control of her body. Ally manifests more bestial features than Alyson does, and is much more primal in her actions. When Ally is in control, replace the dice in Cynical Fast Talking Former Street Kid (3) and Sculptress Who Dabbles in a Little Painting (2) with Protector of Her Pride (3) and raise Feline Spirit Host to (5). Ally will protect anyone Alyson is protecting, and considers Sonia and especially Reggie as “hers”.
