Adding a second Hero for my 500th Buffy post on this blog here...

Having created a very classic Hero, one powered White Hat and three regular types, I figured I should show a bit more of the variety of the system. There are rules for revenant-style thinking zombies in Monster Smackdown, but for walking through walls I had to DIY something. (Part of a tradition for ghost PCs going back to my first Buffy PBP as Director.)

And I got a “Ha!” for Madison’s quote, which was nice.

Jerome Phineas “Jer” Endicott

Type: Hero, ghost

Description: Timelessly stylish, fortunately.

Example quote: “I died protecting the college once already, so it’s not as if I have anything pressing.”

Zain Hussain

Fenmore College has a long history of fairly odd occurrences, and nobody knows this better than Jerome Endicott, because he died fighting an ancient demon in 1912. His spirit remained, however, connected to the archives of the student magazine that preceded the Sentinel. And now a long-dead evil threatens to return, and he has awakened as well, able to touch and affect the world again.

Which is probably not a harbinger of an apocalyptic threat.

Right?
