Character Name & Journal: Darth Nox | a_gaggle_of_ghosties Guild Affiliation: Unaffiliated Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: He's a grumpy nerd who's like two decades overdue for a goddamn vacation, so he's going to prefer to just not do a damn thing. This won't work of course, and he'll end up helping out on the superhero end of things every so often (and especially during any major crisis or during the Confluences), though he'd balk at the idea of joining either guild. When not doing that, he's probably going to pass the time trying to learn as much as he can about this world and the nature of the Confluences. If there's a pattern to who gets pulled in, the powers they get, etc.
There's also a good chance he'll end up accidentally starting a cult out in Sunset Falls. But don't let that fool you, he'll (surprisingly) actually use it mostly for good. He'd encourage things like community service, charity fundraising, etc., rather than anything overtly evil. But he'd also use the members as an information network of sorts--not actually as spies or anything, but just some extra eyes and ears on the lookout for anything that might be worth knowing about.
Plot/CR Hooks: He sticks his nose into just about everything. Everything. So even if someone's not necessarily hanging around Sunset Falls all day, the odds of him literally just appearing next to a character to learn more about them are higher than you'd expect. And I do mean that literally: He can cloak himself through the Force, making both himself and his mind virtually undetectable (highly sophisticated sensors meant to see through such things can still detect him if he gets too close), and as a result of that and his own issues he has a horrible habit of just appearing without warning after observing while undetected.
Other than that, anyone studying magic, the supernatural, or anything just plain weird or unusual is probably going to get a visit from him sooner or later. His skills may not always be directly applicable, but he has a sharp mind and a hunger for knowledge, so he'll pick things up fairly quickly.
Plus, who else here eats ghosts? He's a walking lightning rod for the dead, and his presence alone is typically enough to cause ghosts to begin acting...strangely. Sometimes violently, sometimes with a greater degree of lucidity than they would have otherwise that allows them to interact with people as if they were still alive (despite, y'know, still being ghosts). It's always hard for him to predict just what a ghost's reaction to his presence will be, but his working hypothesis is that their mental and emotional state tends to revert to what it was around the time of their death (for better or worse). So if you've got a ghost problem, he's your go-to person to solve it since he can just bind them to himself and leave, no muss no fuss.
