This week I’m writing up the player characters for the Ghost Punchers RPG I’ll be running at Thanksgaming on Saturday. Since the files are hot on my desktop, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share some of the characters who will be punching ghosts this weekend.
First up: Monica Harper!
Monica was born into money, and lots of it. She was a fourth generation trust fund rich kid, with no real responsibilities beyond picking out a killer outfit for next weekend’s party and making sure that her drug-fueled escapades didn’t embarrass her family too much.
All that changed when the pale, faceless man started appearing in her room at night. He never touched her. But he spoke to her. He told her she was a disgrace to her family, useless, nothing more than a cheap shiny trinket destined for the trash. Everyone knew it, he said, and was eagerly waiting for the day she’d just overdose and get it over with.
Exhausted by the ghost’s constant attacks, Monica spoke her family about it. “Oh yes, that’s your great-grandfather Horace,” they told her. “He’s horrible. He’s been haunting the family for decades.”
Monica set out to defeat Horace. She spent months studying the supernatural in general, and ghosts in particular. She stopped partying. She lost friends. Her family started to worry. But she was obsessed. Eventually, she discovered the secrets of seeing ghosts and fighting them on their own terms. The next time the pale man appeared, she was ready—and destroyed him.
Now Monica has dedicated herself and her money to helping others defeat their own ghosts. To this end, she’s tracked down others with her ghost-punching abilities and put together a team she calls the “Boo Busters.” No one else calls it that.
