Introductory Short Story

Bill Holly had a bad feeling when he woke up in his Laketown apartment that evening. It wasn’t just the hangover, there was something else. A vague sense of loss, of pain, but not inside him. It was outside of him, somewhere out there, beyond the four walls of his bedroom, on the street or in the subway, or perhaps in another similar apartment across town. (more...)

Player Character Profiles

Ethan Woodward

This scruffy man can often be seen in an ill-fitted suit, standing with his hands buried in his coat pockets. Thin of build, and slightly unhealty looking, Woodward has joined the Paranormal Scientific agency after working unsuccessfully as a private detective for several years. He has met with hard times more than once, and appears to have associated with more than his fair share of the undesirable characters of Laketown.

Kyle McMurdoch

A tall, gangly half shaven young man, stands in the agency field office, sips coffee and sucks on a cigarette, burning down to his fingers. An academic expert on ancient cultures and languages, McMurdoch has several large gaps in his career resume which he has been unable to satisfactorily explain. He has proven to be an unpredictable agent.

Alistair Straker

Alistair is a hair over six feet tall and of fairly wiry build. He has a long face with shoulder length golden brown hair held back with an elastic band. He typically wears boots, black jeans and a white tee-shirt with a black leather biker's jacket on his shoulders.

He is an adept martial artist and has found work in the Hong Kong film industry, and various martial arts action films. Alistair is hardly famous in mainstream terms, but amongst aficionados of Hong Kong cinema his distinctive Fanziquan (Tumbling Fist) style is well recognized. He has shot his latest film in Laketown and has been invited to accompany the agents on their investigations for future film making purposes.
