Player Characters
John Dunn
Gerald works in occult research for the Government. He has a PhD in Parapsychology. He is a little nerdy and takes an interest in any sort of manifestation of psychic ability in people.
He has a wife and two children aged 10 and 8. He earns enough that his wife does not have to work, though she does a part time job as a teaching assistant.
His father was German, but he grew up in the UK. He is a competent German speaker and visits his family in Germany at least once a year.
His work and personal interest in parapsychology lead him to make a number of connections in occult circles. He spends some time at the Sebastian Geistmann's book shop both professionally and personnally. He also sometimes has paid excursions from work to research centres and takes his friends with him.

Sebestian is a charming man who own an occult book shop called The Third Eye and deals in rare books. He has a confident, deep voice that tends to be able to win people over.
He has a love for all things occult and loves doing Tarot card readings for people. He is fairly successful and does not have to work that much, allowing him a lot of time to socialise. That has helped him build up connections in the wider occult circles around the UK.
Sebestian spent his youth married to a rich, older lady who he regularly cheated on. She tolerated this for a while, but eventually they broke up.
His interest in the occult came from his Aunt, who left him the book shop. He is rumoured to have dabbled in magic too in his youth, but he does not much talk about this. Some speculate that he had some bad experiences, but they did not dent his interest in the subject.
