The player characters know each other through a shop called The Third Eye, owned by Sebastian Geistmann. They socialise there regularly and have become friends.
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.
Damien is a rather private individual who does not like to talk about himself or his past. Few are even clear what he does for a living. He has skills in electronics and mechanics, plus some suspect he has spent him in the army.
He likes to wear sunglasses and he can sometimes be the quiet type, but when the time comes he springs into action and can look after himself. Something hidden in his past drives his interest in the occult and the supernatural.
John is a computer nerd and looks like a computer nerd. He is clearly a little autistic and likes to tidy and organise things. He does not talk that much and he is uses his phone a lot, but he is reliable and does what he says he will do.
He is also very smart and knows his way around a keyboard, the architecture of a computer and the internet. He is very useful for fixing computers and finding things on the internet.
He is single as far as everyone assumes, although he messages a girl on his phone alot. He works from home, his car, a cafe or anywhere with internet access. The source of his interest in the supernatural is not clear, but he spends a lot of time at Sebastian's shop, even when he is working.
Amy was a paramedic and ambulance driver. She had some sort of accident where a woman died and has been suspended on full pay since.
Something about her accident has caused her to take an interest in the supernatural. She has started spending time at Sebastian's shop, although she rarely talks about what drives her interest.
She is single and does not seem that interested in romance at the moment. Amy is also clearly intelligent and has a number of interests, such as languages, geography and science. She also knows how to protect herself in a fight.
