Editing Fitzwilliam Gerald

A character in the [[Chuubostuck]] campaign.

== Description ==

Your name is FITZWILLIAM GERALD, and you are a FORTITUDE GHOST. This title is inaccurate in that you are still alive. However, your GRANDFATHER, who is your primary caretaker, is NOT ALIVE, and you have inherited some of his GHOSTLY POWERS. These powers usually manifest themselves in that people IGNORE YOU even when you would prefer them to pay attention, which KIND OF SUCKS. Boooooo.

That's "boooooo" as in "that kind of sucks," not "boooooo" as in some ghost thing.

Since it's tough to make friends when people keep forgetting you exist, you have become something of a BOOKWORM. You are especially a fan of PULP ACTION AND ADVENTURE, with its heroes who are quite frankly UNIGNORABLE. You do a certain amount of writing yourself, but it is MEDIOCRE AT BEST, and primarily focuses on the adventures of THINLY VEILED SELF-INSERT CHARACTERS. These adventures are both ACTION-PACKED and ADRENALINE-FUELED, and often result in WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION. In hindsight, this will seem SHOCKINGLY PRESCIENT, but right now it's just another way to pass the time.

As stated, you live with your GHOST GRANDFATHER, and your typing occasionally fades out if you're not paying attention.

Age: A few months shy of fifteen

=== Basic Quest: The List (Melodramatic)===
<pre>[XXX][XXX][XXX]
[XXX][XXX][XXX]
[   ][   ][   ]
</pre>
When you declare a problem to be unsolved and unsolveable, at least by someone of your meager abilities, you may add it to The List of Scary Things to Avoid Thinking About and take a bonus XP for this quest. You may only obtain this bonus XP once per fifteen minutes/once per scene. You can add problems to the list more frequently than this, but you won't get an XP for it—and hopefully, your problems aren't that bad. Right?
