31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters
24: The Amateur Occult Investigator
They say never meet your heroes. They should also tell heroes to never meet their fans.
In the real world we have plenty of people looking for proof of the supernatural. In a setting where the supernatural is definitely a thing, these people are going to get in trouble.
The closest we got to these in Buffy was the Trio, who used their amateur occult investigation for evil, while in Angel we met a couple guys in a comic store who mention that monster hunters have chatrooms dedicated to them.
The protagonists of various found footage horror movies would certainly qualify, apart from how those usually end. The Blair Witch Project producers Haxan also tried it on TV with a series called FreakyLinks, which was basically Kolchak: The Night Stalker but featuring something called “the internet”.
Laura in the Carmilla web series is definitely this, and the Ghostfacers in Supernatural are also good examples as they get in the protagonists’ way repeatedly.
And I could imagine one finding a suitably empowered item and having to become a full-time monster fighter too.

Description: SO STOKED
Example quote: “You’re the slayer? Can I get a selfie?”
Nobody much talks about what happens in this town in person. But online lots of people talk about its history of unsolved disappearances, alleged hauntings and more. So Mack and a couple of their friends have come for the weekend to investigate reports of “gangs on PCP” and someone fighting them. And now they have pretty good video footage of a girl stabbing a monstrous-looking guy in the chest and making him explode into dust, and they’re not 100% sure what to do with it. People wouldn’t believe them anyway, right?
