#16 – Runner
After the flood, most of the city’s poor congregated in the few buildings that managed to survive. As the government rebuilt the financial and industrial centers of the city, the less fortunate spent what resources they could to make their new homes livable. The only real similarity between the bright, shiny new buildings of downtown and the ramshackle tenement buildings of the old city are that neither could expunge their spirits through simple reconstruction. Just as the city center has its wandering dead commuters, the damaged apartment buildings play host to the lingering souls of former inhabitants.
The Runner is a particularly intense spirit that inhabits a stairwell in one of the tallest buildings in the old city. Every night, it can be heard rushing headlong down the stairs, only to disappear at the bottom and reappear at the top. No one has been able to find anything out about it, other than that it does not like being seen.

Fred 15: Alia
After killing the beast, we started feeling uneasy about it. Obviously, it was intelligent. Maybe it didn’t have to be evil, maybe it just made some bad life choices. Maybe, once, it was innocent…

#15.) Mask Face
Mask Face is a mysterious creature with an incredible sense of balance and dexterity. It usually doesn’t interact or attack anyone, unless provoked. Unfortunately, what exactly it considers “provocation” is anyone’s guess.

Gan used to be an abandoned iguana until he died in a trash compactor and was given a human form in the afterlife to help with spirit labor. His guide is Spirit Lady, who doesn’t speak but makes icons and words with her wand.
Fred 13: Moose?
Pointing to something strange in the distance, I ask:
-“What is that thing?”
-“It’s a moose, innit?” he answers.
-“Mate, I don’t know how you make mooses where you’re from, but you’re doing it WRONG.”
Fred 12: The dreaded ghost of Alphonse Lorens
Alphonse always dreamed of being a pirate, so when he died at sea and came back as a ghost, he thought ‘yeah, that could work.’
#15 – Ted Bacon
The final member of Clair’s team, Mr. Bacon is the only real professional anything in the group; a professional photographer. A naturally sarcastic and taciturn skeptic, his contribution to the team usually comes in the form of terse explanations of photographic artifacts. His lack of interest in the paranormal is offset by the rather large amount of money Clair is paying him, but nothing in the world could offset his sheer lack of people skills.
Day 11 – Rainbow Lizard
The Rainbow Lizard is about 3 feet tall. It has a mesmerizing gaze and iridescent skin that shifts hypnotically through the color spectrum, putting its’ victims into a stupor. It then expels a hallucinogenic/neuroparalyzing toxic compound through its’ tongue and skin that renders the victim inert, allowing the Rainbow Lizard to slowly digest the hapless meal in its’ expandable paunch. There is no known antidote for its’ poisons.
Day 12 – Gnumanara the Gnome
Gnumanara the Gnome is a fun loving guy that is more illusionist then magician. He creates a lot of big, flashy spells that look impressive but don’t do much damage. He can seem scary if he wants but he’s really a push-over. He gets in big trouble when he tries to impress the wrong people.
Day 15: Drott

2013 Challenge: Day 15:- Max Olotol
Despite living almost entirely underwater in a small stream, Max longs to be a lumberjack.
#14.) Mr. Big Paw
Mr. Big Paw might be a bit rough around the edges, but he’s really not as bad as he seems. The scandalous rumors circulating about him and Little Red Riding Hood are all rubbish. He’s really all Granny’s boy at heart.
Day 11 – Yanee
Yanee is an agent for the Knights of Peace, a group who keeps the peace within the kingdom. She was send to Earth to collect the princess that was left there years before. The scar on her face was a result of fighting off those who would stop her mission. She is lucky to still be alive but her mission was a success.
#14 – Alex Lorentz
Every group of paranormal investigators needs someone techy to run the EMF meters and play back their static to find EVPs. For Clair’s group, that someone is Alex Lorentz. A very enthusiastic young man with a homegrown expertise in electronics, Alex has a practical understanding of how the scientific instrumentation he carries around actually works, but a very limited ability to interpret those findings. Of course, that makes him a perfect fit for a paranormal group, where every blip on the infrared camera is a ghost until proven otherwise.
