Character Creation Challenge 2023

31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters

10: The Occultist

The show replaced Cordelia’s uncomfortably honest outside perspective with Spike and Anya, both also deactivated monsterish types who could bring the occult knowledge as well. So, an occult expert, which risks overlapping with the Watcher and those Scoobies who have invested in research skills but it’s not bad to have help there. Maybe with some shady connections most people wouldn’t want to deal with.

A Sorcery-heavy PC got de-magicked in The Watch House as the power level stopped being fun for the player. This is a riff on that.

Carter Brandon
Type: White Hat

Thomas Doherty

Description: Doesn’t actually have a little raincloud hanging over his head. Wishes he could.
Example quote: “I really miss being able to make doors hit people on the way out of the room.”

Brandon used to be a capable self-serving sorcerer, until a dangerous spell backfired and burned out his powers. But for how long?

He’s not bitter.

Sorry, let me read that again and try to keep a straight face.
