Mary Henry

Name: Mary Henry
Category: Living Dead, Ghost, Victim
Age: Early 20s at the time of death
Origin: Lawrence, Kansas
Habitat: Salt Lake City, Utah
General Description: A strong-willed individual and a talented organist, Mary Henry died in a car racing accident, but continued on living in a mysterious manner, without even initially realizing that she was in fact dead. Being little more than a soulless reflection of a human being, Mary drifted in and out of objective reality for awhile, until the undead from the abandoned Saltair pavilion, led by the notorious The Man, caught up with her and relocated her to the world of the dead.
Friends, Associates, and Sidekicks: None really. Occasionally - John Linden, the annoying neighbor
Sworn Enemies: The Man
Special Powers: Not being affected by caffeine
Weapons of Choice: None
Weaknesses: Being occasionally invisible to the living and at the same time not being able to detect sound waves often leaves her completely helpless.
Hobbies: Shopping... or at least attempting to shop. It’s hard to shop when sales associates don’t see you.
Pet Peeves: Seeing The Man's face everywhere
Best Lines:
1) I don't belong in the world.
2) Funny, the world is so different in the daylight, but in the dark, your fantasies get so far out of hand. But in the daylight everything falls back into place again. Let’s have no more nights.
3) Thank you for the coffee. It was unsanitary, but delicious.
Total Estimated Power Rating: 5
4 Intellect Points + 1 Base Physical Strength Points
Power Level: Low. Mary Henry is not dangerous to anyone.
Identification: When Mary Henry exists in the three-dimensional world she looks just like everyone else. However when she drifts into the realm of the dead she is rather easy to identify - if you see a woman franticly running around trying to talk to people that completely ignore her – it’s probably Mary Henry. The real question, in this case, is why are you able to see her when no other living being can...
How to Avoid: Mary Henry is a very private individual and usually keeps to herself, so avoiding her is usually not a problem.
Suggested Actions in Case of Encounter: It doesn’t really matter what you do. You can’t help her. She belongs to the dead.
Suggested Killing Techniques: Mary Henry is already dead, so technically she cannot be killed. Her existence in the objective reality, however, can be stopped by forcing her to visit the abandoned Saltair pavilion and letting its ghoulish inhabitants claim her soulless shell of a human being. Considering the fact that she is inexplicably drawn to this place, this feat shouldn’t be hard to accomplish.

The Man

Name: Unknown
Category: Hallucination, Ghost
Age: Unknown
Origin: Unknown
Habitat: Abandoned amusement parks, murky lakes, highways (floating beside moving automobiles)
General Description: Mysterious figure haunting Mary Henry. "The Man," who really has no name, appears anywhere and everywhere to confound Mary with that weird, leering stare of his. He never speaks, so he never reveals his intentions, increasing his spookiness exponentially.
Friends, Associates, and Sidekicks: The rest of the carnival ghosts
Sworn Enemies: Objective reality
Special Powers: Appearing and disappearing in strange spots at random intervals, staying underwater for extended periods, ballroom dancing, leering
Weapons of Choice: Nameless terror
Weaknesses: The ladies
Hobbies: Smiling and leering
Pet Peeves: The world of the living
Best Lines: N/A
Total Estimated Power Rating: 5
4 Intellect Points + 1 Shock Point
Danger Level: Low. If you are still alive – you would never even meet him. However, if you happen to be one of the living dead who refuse to join the carnival of the dead souls at the abandoned pavilion, keep in mind that The Man can be quite persuasive and has plenty of associates to help him bring you there where you belong.
Identification: The Man’s skin is chalky and his eyes sit deep within black pools of raccoon-like mascara. He seems to enjoy appearing in the most unexpected places, often replacing someone else’s reflection in mirrors or glass windows. Keep in mind that The Man is invisible to the living.
How to Avoid: According to our sources, The Man has no business with the living, making staying alive the best tactic to avoid him.
Suggested Actions in Case of Encounter: Make sure you are not dead. Check the pulse. Ask bystanders to pinch you.
Suggested Killing Techniques: It is uncertain whether or not "The Man" exists in any physical reality, for he seems to appear either at the periphery of Mary Henry's consciousness or in an alternate dreamlike reality, which makes the business of killing The Man extremely complicated if not entirely impossible.

Santi

Name: Santi (aka “The one who sighs”)
Category: Vengeful Ghost, Ghost
Age: 7-9 (?) at the time of death
Origin: Spain
Habitat: Bottomless pool (well?) in the basement of a Spanish Orphanage
General Description: A ghost of an innocent Spanish youth killed by one of the orphanage employees.
Friends, Associates, and Sidekicks: Carlos and other orphanage children
Sworn Enemies: Jacinto
Special Powers: Sighing
Weapons of Choice: Santi enjoys drowning his victims. Especially if they are bleeding, thus leaving a cloud of blood in the murky waters of the pool Santi inhabits.
Weaknesses: Lack of physical body makes it extremely hard for Santi to avenge his death without outside assistance
Hobbies: Harassing children who have nothing to do with his death...
Pet Peeves: What do ghosts dislike? Being condemned to watch a tragedy being repeated time and time again? Pain, perhaps. Being dead while seemingly being alive? Being suspended in time… like a blurred photograph… like an insect trapped in amber?...
Nah! Actually, it’s not being able to scratch where it itches… And also those people who insist on using cell phones while on a toilet in a public bathroom…
Best Lines:
1) Many of you will die.
2) Many of you will die.
3) Jacinto. Bring him to me.
Total Estimated Power Rating: 4
2 Intellect Points + 1 Base Physical Strength Points + 1 Shock Point
Danger Level: Low. Santi can handle a wounded or weakened adversary, but he is rather ineffective when facing a healthy adult.
Identification: A pale boy with a profusely bleeding gash in his left temple. He seems to be surrounded by ghostly water at all times.
How to Avoid: Avoid swimming in murky basement pools.
Suggested Actions in Case of Encounter: Don’t be afraid. Santi might look creepy, but he is really not that bad. Unless you happen to be Jacinto, you have nothing to worry about.
Suggested Killing Techniques: As with most ghosts, killing Santi is not possible, for he is already dead.

Yuen Chi-Kei

Name: Yuen Chi-Kei
Category: Ghost
Age: Unknown
Origin: Hong Kong
Habitat: A few feet away from Joey Cheng
General Description: Yuen Chi-Kei is a ghost of a suicide victim that desperately hopes to forget her previous life. The only way she can do that is to be born again. Her future mother however is a suicide-junky that constantly tries to thwart Yuen’s attempt at living again.
Friends, Associates, and Sidekicks: Joey Cheng
Sworn Enemies: Joey Cheng
Special Powers: Ability to not let people die, ability to be a daughter of her husband’s young lover
Weapon(s) of choice: None
Weakness(es): Memories of her past life
Hobbies: Reenacting her successful suicide attempts
Pet Peeves: Yuen hates when her reincarnation attempts are thwarted in some way
Best Line(s): - I won’t let you die.
Total Estimated Power Rating: 6
4 Intellect Points + 1 Supernatural Power Points + 1 Shock Point
Danger Level: Low. Yuen can knock off a couple of objects off the table, or make you slip on the bathroom floor, but that’s pretty much it.
Identification: If a young Chinese lady with long black hair and deep-black eyes is staring at you and then appears to jump in front of a moving train – you are probably pregnant. What’s worse, you are probably pregnant with Yuen Chi-Kei.

How to Avoid: Try to not get pregnant. If you are already pregnant – don’t even think about having an abortion. Otherwise, Yuen might get pissed off and knock your ex-boyfriend’s picture of a table or something.

Suggested actions in case of encounter: Yuen Chi-Kei probably doesn’t want to hurt you. In fact she wants you to be alive and well. We recommend ignoring her.
Suggested killing techniques: Yuen Chi-Kei is already dead and cannot be easily disposed of. Giving birth and allowing her to reincarnate as your child, however, will wipe her memory clean and make her less creepy (though probably more stinky)

Muriel Arrowsmith

Name: Muriel Arrowsmith (aka Muriel Hampton)
Category: Vengeful Ghost, Ghost
Age: 26 years old at the time of death
Size: Average Human
Origin: Unknown
Habitat: Hampton Castle
General Description: Wife of Dr. Stephen Arrowsmith and the heiress to the Hampton fortune. When her husband discovered her in the arms of David the hunky gardener, he brutally tortured and killed them both. The ghost of Muriel cannot find peace until her vengeance against her monstrous husband is fulfilled.
Friends, Associates, and Sidekicks: David the Gardener
Sworn Enemies: Dr. Stephen Arrowsmith
Special Powers: Ability to spiritually possess her step-sister Jenny.
Weapon(s) of choice: Oil lamps
Weakness(es): Muriel’s heart, once destroyed causes her ghost to disappear once and for all
Hobbies: Drinking Napoleon 1861 brandy
Pet Peeves: Blond step-sisters
Best Line(s):
1) You can kill my body, but I’ll never leave you in peace.
2) Yes, Stephen, it is my flesh you're touching, the flesh you thought you destroyed. But you can't destroy flesh, any more than you can love or hate - it's all the same thing.
3) You gave me extreme pleasure. You taught me the pleasure of the torment of the flesh, which turns into ecstasy.
Total Estimated Power Rating: 8
4 Intellect Points + 3 Supernatural Power Points + 1 Shock Point
Power Rating Estimate Notes: Like most vengeful ghosts Muriel is extremely dangerous. Although her vengeance is primarily directed towards those who caused her premature death, it is advisable to avoid the Hampton castle in general, even if you have nothing to do with the macabre events that took place there. Destroying Muriel’s heart seems to be the only sure way to get rid of her.
