Arkham Nights Main Page


Julie Connolly

The Vampire Slayer

Played by: Craig Oxbrow

Age: 16 years

Appearance: Quite small, 5'2" and slim, with naturally fair hair currently fiery orange.

Julie's life in Boston was pretty good, now she looks back at it. She wasn't jockish or nerdy, was part of a small social circle (the indie music scene) which was too smudgy and inclusive to count as a clique, and had a fairly steady boyfriend. Her main source of conflict was arguing with her dad about going to gigs (and formerly mom about her new guy) and arguing with others in her school's indie music scene about which gigs were worth going to.

Sadly, her boyfriend couldn't quite deal with the whole "Vampire Slayer" deal - who knew that was a thing, anyway?

So she wasn't too crushed to have to move to this no-name college town for her junior year when dad got a professorship.

Seems like a nice little town. No monsters so far, anyway. Not that she's finished unpacking yet...

Samantha Butler

Player: jamieth

Character Concept:

Character Type: White Hat

Height: 5’5”

Weight: 132 lbs

Age: 16 years

Appearance: A slim and fit girl, with healthy tan, chesnut hair and bright blue eyes; takes good care of her body, and is rather proud of it - and not afraid of showing it by wearing shorts and belly-revealing tops.

Sam (she doesn't really mind being called that) is not your tipycal cheerleader (or, more correctly, not the media image of a typical cheerleader). She isn't in it just to be popular, or get close to the football players - she just likes the sport for itself. That's not to say she isn't popular, or isn't aware of it - Sam knows her looks are above avarage at least, and years of exersize and healthy lifestyle gave her a figure close to perfection, and she isn't afraid of showing it off.

One thing besides cheerleading she is concerned with, lately, is drugs. No, Sam never used drugs herself. She also never tried smoking, or tasted alcohol - in fact, she tries to cut on sugar as well and considers turning to vegetarian lifestyle. But drugs already did... something to one of her friends (no matter what everyone says, there's something wrong with Joey lately), and Sam isn't going to let the same happen to her little sister, as well.

Claudia Butler

portrait

Player: spaceranger Concept: Phantom Grumweasel

Character Concept: Drummer, slacker, and girl about town.

Character Type: White Hat

Height: 5’6”

Weight: 138 lbs

Age: 15

Drama: 20

XP: 20 (spent: 19)

Appearance: Claudia's not strong, but wiry and lithe, she dyes her hair and dresses as much like a rocker as she can get away with.

Claudia would die for her big sister, Samantha, if she doesn't drive her crazy first. Big sis is a little too protective and Claudia knows how to take care of herself, she thinks. She'd probably be a pro drummer already if she really applied herself, but she's stopping to sniff the roses and live it up, when she's not playing video games or hanging out with the freaks at the comic store. She's thinking about starting a band sometime, again, for real this time, when she gets around to it.

Since the 'Hastur' incident, Claudia has been thrilled and excited to be in on the Slayer's gig, but her homework has suffered. Samantha and Julie have had to ram it into her head that she cannot talk about this stuff with ANYONE AT ALL, because Claudia is just not as frightened about it, or as mature about it, as she should be. Claudia has the glimmer of a sense of responsibility, but it's not really weighing on her yet, it's just giving her a sense of importance and even a sense of power. They've saved people! But she really doesn't know or appreciate what she's getting into yet. Sam's had to reign her in and be even more big-sisterly than she was before they discovered the dark, supernatural side of Arkham.

Gisa Amsel

Player: MysteryCat

Character Concept: A Swiss punk rocker, forced to move to the States after her engineer father was offered a prestigious job in Arkham by Black Pharaoh, the multi-billion dollar tech company.

Character Type: White Hat

Height: 5’10”

Weight: 171 lbs

Age: 17

Appearance: Tall, tattooed, head shaved but for a shock of pink (or green. or white. or...) mohawk, outfitted in torn nets and biker jacket, she ought to be intimidating. But she comes at the world with arms open and a ready smile, pushing her big hipster glasses back up into place; and the bruises heal quick when you're quick to forgive.

Gisa Amsel came to Arkham from Zurich, Switzerland, when her dad got a job in the engineering team at Black Pharaoh. They left in a bit of a hurry, and she's trying not to think about it too much.

Because this is America! Land of the brave, home of the free, or something. And more importantly, NYC - birthplace of punk, no matter what London says - is just down the coast!

Gisa loves life; loves people, their stories, and especially their music. She loves to dance, the badlier the better.

Sera

Player: Argent

Character Concept: Acerbic sorceress

Character Type: White Hat

Height:

Weight:

Age: 16

Appearance: Sera has mixed Indian-Caucasian ancestry (her family on her father´s side are Kashmiri), her red hair a pleasing contrast to her darker skin tone. She´s lost count of how many times she has had to hear that she´d be really pretty if she just smiled once in a while, ugh. She tends to go for a "gloomy school uniform with a hoodie" look, with a stylish yet worn back pack with her essentials (tablet with stylus for notes and basic occulty tasks, lots of handscribbled notebooks).
