From publisher blurb:
In the vast world of role-playing, characters are the heart of every story. The term “Vigilante” originates from the Latin word “vigilare,” meaning “to keep watch.” Historically, vigilantes have been those who take the law into their own hands, often operating outside the bounds of legal authority to enforce justice. This concept has inspired the creation of characters who live in the shadows, driven by a personal code of justice.
Fascinating Characters offers a compelling collection of 10 vigilantes, each with a rich backstory and distinct moral code. These intriguing figures bring depth and complexity to any role-playing adventure. Each character is presented on a separate page for easy printout and use, making them perfect for gamemasters and players alike.
The Watcher: Buck Ledbetter, known as “Bear,” turned his survival skills into a mission after a tragic loss. Living off the grid in North Georgia, he hunts down those who prey on the innocent, using his supernatural bond with dogs. Silent, relentless, and driven by a moral code, he stops at nothing to bring justice.
The Veil: Gideon Blackwell, a mild-mannered librarian by day, becomes “The Veil” by night, using his ability to “read” the past to hunt child traffickers. Calm and methodical, his relentless pursuit of justice isolates him, yet he longs for someone who understands his burden.
The Banshee: Moira O’Donnell, transformed by tragedy, becomes the Banshee—a vengeful spirit of justice. Her deadly wail strikes fear in corrupt officials and criminals. Once compassionate, now a cold force of vengeance, she struggles with the monster she may have become.
The Nightstalker: Vincent Carlisle, shunned by mainstream media for his focus on the supernatural, goes underground as “The Nightstalker.” A sharp intellect and relentless drive help him solve crimes others fear to touch.
