Chris Craven is an eccentric, but reputable, private investigator, specializing in missing persons. Clairvoyant from birth, Chris learned early not to admit to paranormality, but appreciates the edge it provides in investigations. Like most telempaths, Chris is uncomfortable in crowds and dislikes being around death.

Translation for the Champions(tm) Impaired:
The Stats - The first ten rows of statistics are the base statistics and mean just about what they look like. The range is more or less from ten to twenty, with ten indicating the level of a healthy, normal human and twenty indicating the limit of human capacity. Chris is moderately strong and tough, very bright and strong willed, and rather good looking, if not awe-inspiring. The rest of column are the figured statistics. If you don't know the system, just don't worry about them. I'll tell you if you need them.
The Notes - Anything ending in CV is a "combat value". I'll ask you for these numbers when you get into a fight. Speed (SPD) and dexterity (DEX) tell me who goes first in a fight, and determine moves in what phase (a round has twelve phases, the phases you move in are listed in the notes in the SPD row). If a skills comes into play, I may ask you to roll 3d6 against the number in the Roll column (you want to roll under this number to make a successful skill roll).
Disadvantages - Champions(tm) works on a point system. You pay for skills and powers with points, some of which you get by taking disads. Chris has to stay in business and has a secretary. Chris also has some issues as a side of effect of being a telepath/medium. As a medium, Chris is sometimes targeted by otherworly entities looking for a doorway into this side.
Powers - Chris can sense the emotions of those nearby. Chris can read past events and images or information about the owner from physical objects. Chris can also call manifestations of psychic energy. Usually these are ghosts of dead people, but long used objects and buildings will often have "spirits" of a sort. Chris can also project emotions to sway peoples mental state or as an attack.
Skills - The skills are just what they sound like. PS is short for professional skill. Chris has an
eidetic memory and is a pretty good investigator.
Backstory - Chris was born with the paranormal abilities, and is well-adjusted. The powers are something of a secret. Some people are uncomfortable around telempaths. It's only fair. Chris is uncomfortable around some people. It's not always fun to hear other people's hysteria. Chris maintains an office in the outskirts of Hellenback and a house an hour into the 'burbs. The secretary, Liz, is shared with a two-person accounting firm in the same office building.
