Christopher

## Background

Christopher was a teenager in high school in 1987, when he was killed in a car crash. Driving his Testarossa sports car down Mt. Lemmon on a rainy night, he lost control and careened off the side of the mountain. Later he would come to remember: he saw some strange lights and caught a glimpse of Fiona just before losing control.

Chris died from his injuries within moments, however his last thoughts were of his young relationship with Sarah, and his soul was kept from the other side; bound to his car, and still yearning for a moment of true love. For some time afterwards, he could only re-enact his final moments, each night replaying the trauma that destroyed both his prized possession and his chance at a perfect human connection. Due to the misguided efforts of Desmond to banish his spirit, Chris was finally freed from that trap, and able to manifest freely.

In his afterlife, Chris has become aware of the supernatural world, including the hidden supernatural aspects of his old life. Some of his classmates were actually werewolves. His sister's young child Deandre would turn out to have the gift of foresight. Chris often turns to Desmond, and increasingly Gary, for help in understanding the various forces and factions in the city.

## Present Day

Chris has largely continued his pursuits from his former life. He races his (phantom) car through town, against living drivers, or police, or even other ghosts. He hangs out at school and with young people on the South side; often playing sports, or pranking people and causing trouble. But most importantly, he watches over Sarah.

Sarah has obviously moved on in the 30 years since Chris' death. Early on, Chris would reveal himself to her in various ways, in an effort to reclaim a love that had only begun to form. He still observes her and protects her fiercely, but recognizes she deserves friends, relationships, and a life that Chris cannot truly connect to. Chris desperately wants to make sure she gets that perfect chance at love that he lost all those years ago...

## Character Sheet

Chris is a Spectre, a member of Night.

He's a black man, with vintage wear (THS letterman's jacket). He looks 18, about average height but athletic build. He's looks very slightly unreal, indistinct, or even translucent at times. Most of the time he has a volatile demeanor, think asshole jock.

For gear, Chris has spritual versions of what was on his person when he died, most prominently his car. His highest stat is Blood, and lowest is Mind. He's most familiar with the Night faction.

### Moves

**Manifest** - Regular people can’t sense or interact with you unless you manifest by spending a few quiet moments concentrating and choosing 2: can be heard / can be seen / can touch and be touched. Mark corruption to instead choose 1 or all 3.

**"Wall? What Wall?"** - Can always ***Escape***. Get an additional option to bring someone with you. A miss attracts dangerous spirits and ghosts.

**Link** - Sarah keeps you from passing on. When in her presence, advance ***Let It Out***. When she's in danger, you have access to all your Corruption Moves. If she's destroyed, so are you.

### Debts

Fiona owes me for accidentally contributing to my death with faerie BS.

Desmond owes me for using my powers to get him out of dangerous spots.

(I think someone else owes me for something...)

I owe Desmond for breaking me out of my car crash trance.

I owe Gary 2 for giving me information on the supernatural world.

I owe Julio for haunting and annoying the shit out of him cause he's awesome.

I owe Inez for re-binding my spirit car to me when it started slipping to the other side.

## Inspiration

Christopher is based on the music artist Kavinsky's nameless ghost, the main character of his albums' storylines.
