Overview

• Name: Bernard Marshall
• Concept: Enraged Bystander
• Virtue: Temperance
• Vice: Pride
• Age: 30

• Threshold: Stricken
• Experience: 0/0

Background

If Bernard had had his way, he would have lived a long and quiet life as a nine-to-five office worker. He never wanted much out of life, and didn't ask for much in return. Fate, however, had other plans in store for him.

On his way to work one day he was suddenly caught in the crossfire between two rival gangs and caught a bullet in the lung. He kept himself alive long enough for the ambulance to arrive, and quietly began to waste away in the hospital. He contracted an antibiotic-resistant infection in the hospital, brought on by the tender ministrations of a diseased and depraved ghost, and passed away after several weeks of ineffective treatments, enraged that he had done absolutely nothing to deserve this. His latent, molten fury awoken by his inability to do anything about his situation as he died attracted The Patient Demon, who brought him back from the land of the dead. His return manifested as a sudden incredible remission of the infection, his immune system miraculously fighting through the disease and the damage from the bullet, and he emerged from the hospital a week later as fit as an ox. His life finally had a purpose, now that he could see the world of the dead: to destroy those who would destroy the innocent, living or dead, and to avenge those who died like he had: by the callousness of cruel fate.

Appearance

Somewhat haggard, toned man with short brown hair and a five o' clock shadow. Dressed in tight fitting clothing and constantly observing the surroundings.

Geist

A horrible figure bound in a fleshy straitjacket floats through the air, full-body wrapping completely obscuring its entire body behind rotten meat just loose enough to allow it to squirm and strain. Basically a Straitjacket/Patient Demon/Lying Figure from Silent Hill with its legs bound as well. It has a rapidly switching personality from dormant and melancholic, hanging limply in the air, to raging and spastic, straining against its bindings.
