Hello all I have moved this character over from my other game because tbh he probably will fit way better here. His name is Roman Mercer, from the Netflix show Ghost Wars. This show is not for the faint-hearted. The ghosts' main weapon against the little town Roman's from in Alaska is making people hallucinate. There's violence, body horror, suicide, and cannibalism, just off the top of my head. So, be warned if you decide to check it out, but if you're cool with that it's kind of a neat show.
As for Roman, he's a social outcast in Port Moore, largely because his mother was something of a con artist and fake psychic. As far as he knows she abruptly left town when he was in his teens to go live with some guy off the internet. He inherited from her the ability to see ghosts, which also contributed to his outcast status but ends up being really fucking handy after an R&D corp based outside of town does an experiment with a particle accelerator and part of a meteor and accidentally makes it so none of the ghosts can move on, which the ghosts are really fucking angry about. Normal ghosts Roman interacts with like they're normal alive people, the new ghosts don't really like being around him and try to just avoid him, and he isn't affected by their hallucinations. During the show the scientists figure out that he and the meteorite are both quantum objects - they exist both in the world of the living and the world of the dead at the same time. Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Who cares!
Anyway, he's coming from a few months after the show when he's been living in Seattle for a while. He's got some trust and abandonment issues and he's kind of morally grey sometimes, but that describes half the game so he should be fine.
