Amy Floures, Vampiric Pizza Delivery Girl
Significator: The Devil
Traits:
(S) Hemovorous Walking Dead 5 : After a particularly ill-advised necking session, Amy has become... a vampire. Naturally, therefore, she has no particular need to eat, drink, or breathe, is difficult to kill, and rather quicker and stronger than most humans, not to mention able to heal particularly quickly. Elongated canine teeth are useful for opening cans, or people's necks. The power to sway the minds of the weak-willed is also a fun trick at parties, but getting people to look at her eyes can be tricky. Maybe she shouldn't wear such tight shirts or something.
(T) Thirty Minutes or Less 7: New York Cabbies got nothin' on Amy's driving skills. Put her behind a wheel and not only will you get there, but you'll get there in record time. Of course, the property damage in the process might get pretty high, but speed's the thing, right?
(T) Cooking for Cannibals 3: Just because blood's your only source of sustenance doesn't mean you need to forget all your kitchen skills. Amy's finger-tip pizzas with blood sauce are to -die- for.
(R) Collection of Medieval Weaponry 2: A former ren-faire enthusiast (they close before sundown, the bastards), she's got quite the collection of swords, flails, floggers, and generally pointy stuff that makes one go ouch.
(R) My Friends Are Really Pale 3: She's fairly popular within the local vampiric community, especially thanks to her cooking skills, and can call on aid occasionally from her blood-sucking friends when she needs it.
(N) Sunburns Easily 5: Being a vampire isn't -all- fun and games, unfortunately; the sun can burn her down to ashes if she's in it for too long, holy water and crosses sear her skin, and she can't cross the border of a home uninvited. A stake to the heart will kill her too, but really, who -wouldn't- that kill?
Fears:
1) Amy is terrified of her father coming to find her; a runaway, even now that she's a vampire vastly more powerful than him, the very idea of meeting the drunken bastard again makes her feel sick to her stomach.
Wishes:
1) To find a handsome vampire guy of her own to marry, turn some little kid to be their son, and open a chain of vampire restaurants across the country. Hey, nobody said she was particularly sane.
2) A pony. Doesn't every girl want a pony?
Secrets:
1) She's a vampire. Duh. Her boss at Pizza Hut might be upset to find this out.
2) She ran away from an abusive home environment, and technically is listed as missing - she's been using a fake ID for the last few years rather than the real one with her actual last name (Brownstone) on it.
3) She gets paid under the table. Her boss is a cheapskate. Look out for the IRS!

David Wilson, Occult Investigator
Significator: The Hermit
Traits:
(T) I Want to Believe 6: Having made an extensive study of the occult, religion, cryptozoology, ufology, and pretty much every crackpot or fringe topic that you can find in a library or on the Internet, David's extremely knowledgable of such topics. Of course, figuring out what's true and what's just garbage is often the trick with such things.
(T) Back-Alley Brawler 4: When you ask weird questions of people of dubious reputation, you've got to be able to take a punch now and again - and hand them out as well. Not a student of any particular martial style, David's a rather respectable fighter with his fists, feet, and head. Of course, many would say he might've given out one too many head-butts in his time, which would explain his obsessions...
(T) I Saw It On Hackers 2: David likes to think of himself as something of a 'computer hacker', although anybody actually deserving of the term would probably scoff at his skills. Still, he does know a few tricks around computers and electronic security that've come in handy a time or three.
(S) Sixth or Seventh Sense 2: While he doesn't see auras or hear prophecies, being around supernatural beings, magical spells or enchanted places gives him a chill up his spine, a feeling that something is 'wrong' - often enough to let him know an investigation is heading in the right direction.
(R) Conspiracy Conspirator 4: The crazies always band together, and both online and in the flesh David's in contact with quite a number of conspiracy theorists, occult scholars, 'abductees' and others in the community of 'kooks' who believe there's more than is generally known to the world. Most would be surprised to learn they're often right, at least to some extent.
(R) Occult Library 2: The shelves of David's apartment are loaded with books from all sorts of occult and esoteric disciplines, and the reference materials might even come in handy on occasion.
(N) Oh God, That Guy 2: David doesn't exactly have the best reputation with the police and other local authorities, who consider him nothing more than a crazy nuisance that just gets in their way.
Fears:
1) Deep down, David's greatest fear is that he /is/ actually crazy, and that none of his obsessions have anything to do with reality at all, all of his evidence mere delusions. The idea that all his work is a lie and he'll end up curled up in the rubber-walled room of a sanitarium some day scares the hell out of him.
Wishes:
1) To find absolute, concrete proof of the supernatural or aliens to finally vindicate his work to himself and the world.
2) To gather a group of others who believe as he does, to aid in his investigations. It's lonely work.
Secrets:
1) He spent most of his teenaged years on psychiatric drugs due to the side effects of his sixth sense - if revealed, this would probably just make everyone even more certain that he's simply crazy.
2) He once panicked when he saw what he believed was a vampire feeding on a homeless victim in an alley, and fired several shots into them before running. He's not absolutely sure it was a vampire, and that guilt is why he doesn't carry a gun anymore, as he may have killed an innocent man.
