Name: George Sanders
Age: 45
Gender: male
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic good
Power Level: 3-4 most of his powers come not from himself but from his equipment.
Timeline: a little pre to a little post modern
Appearance:
George has the classic everyman appearance. He has average for a guy, length brown hair. His skin is pale but not ghostly. His eyes are also brownish in color. He typically wears a slightly ragged suit and tie, but that is subject to change. Depending on the circumstance he may be carrying any number of other things, though most of the time he also carries a rather expensive looking brown leather briefcase. He normally will go unnoticed in a crowd.
Personality:
George is not crazy he is just a little paranoid, and he has a reason to be so. He believes and rightly so that there are a bunch of things after him. He wants to destroy the creatures that go bump in the night but he knows enough to know that some of them can be helpful at times. He most certainly believes that all those things that go bump in the night exist. He keeps a tight lid on his emotions but there are often nervous jitters in his supposedly relaxed moments. When he is engaged in a mission or similar stress situation he preforms perfectly, it seems he just gets nervous when he is bored.
History:
George had a mostly normal life up until 20 years ago. He had married and his wife had borne him a child. He worked at the local office of some legal firm as an accountant. This job was rather boring even for him but life was good. It was then that something happened. Something that happened to the occasional person and was mostly viewed as the work of human monsters.
His home was invaded by something that claimed to be from hell itself. As said it 'claimed' to be. It was a cannibalistic creature that ate the flesh of living humans preferably families. It immobilized him and then killed and ate his wife and child while he watched in horror. It had just turned to do the same to him when the police notified by a neighbor that heard the commotion arrived. The creature fled, and George was rescued, but to late for his family.
He possessed the sense to lie about what had happened. No one would believe a horror from nightmares had come into his house and killed his family. For a while the sheer horror of what he had witnessed rendered him into shock. He would not do anything but eat sleep and work in a haze. It was then that he realized something, he was still alive and he could hunt down the son of a ..... that had killed his and who knew how many other families.
Of course this first hunting's success was more luck than skill of any kind. Dumb luck really. As were the next few and they left their mark in the scars he now bears. He was lucky most who tried something like that were killed. He was lucky and learned enough to allow keep himself alive. He met up with a few others who did something similar, hunted the creatures of the night and they taught him a thing or two as well.
In the 19 years since he and his buddies went their separate ways George has hunted down and killed or otherwise disposed of many different supernatural creatures. He even had a run in with a very old doctor, they worked out a deal though and didn't fight. He has become famous as someone who can truly deal with supernatural problems. Being famous though can be a bad thing. There are quite a few monsters out there, who would love to kill him or see him dead.
Powers/Equipment:
The shifty shotgun- A mostly normal shotgun, however it has the useful ability of being able to shoot nearly anything that is stuffed into it.. To date it has shot silver bullets, iron spikes, salt rounds, a spray of holy water once, and burning phosphorous. He carries these various types of ammunition on him at most times
The briefcase- George took this off a magician who was killing people with his shows to boost up ratings and improve his act. The magician had some genuine magical artifacts that George either destroyed or now uses for good. This briefcase contains a dimensional anomaly. No matter what or how much you put into it, it will never be full and anything place in there will be accessed easily upon need.
His book- His book which has information he has gathered through his contacts and experiences contains lore and fact about various supernatural beings. Including rituals and ways to hold them at bay with sigils, ect.
The knife- George has a knife that supposedly can kill anything. So far he hasn't needed to test it. What it really does is have the capacity to hit otherwise incorporeal beings. It won't do anymore than a regular knife but it can hit them.
The looking glasses- The last of George's truly supernatural or magical items. This pair of old spectacles does not improve vision but instead allows George to see supernatural creatures who most of the time would be hidden, this doesn't work on all of them but it can often give a useful advantage.
Weakness:
George is human and suffers from all the weaknesses humans have. His strength is higher than a normal human through virtue of his constant workout but he does not have the heightened resilience of a meta human or supernatural creature. Shooting him or any other way killing that would work on a regular human should work on him as well.
