Ghost

Jeremy Black's personal History

Dr Jeremy Black (a.k.a. Ghost)

The Vigil's resident occultist and expert in the theoretical physics of dimensional travel, Ghost straddles the borderline between the living and dead, able to inhabit or depart from his mortal form at will to wander the world as a spirit. He and his wife and partner in the paranormal, Susana Black revolutionised the scientific world's views on the human spirit and have been instrumental in keeping the people of Bathala City safe from spooks and spectres for over a decade.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

In his living form, Dr Black is something of a scrawny man. Preferring to challenge himself mentally rather than physically, he has often neglected the need for good eating and exercise, and is subsequently sick fairly regularly. Luckily, diseases suffered by the body do not carry over into his spirit form.

Physical quirks

Exposure to the Poltergeist Machine accident and the subsequent manifestation of his powers have slowly caused Jeremy's hair to turn prematurely grey.

Special abilities

Ghost's primary superpower is his ability to leave his mortal self behind, allowing his spirit to roam the earth like an archetypal ghost. In this form, he's able to become invisible and intangible, fly, move items telepathically, and on rare occasion even possess people and objects, though the latter always leaves him feeling uneasy. In this state he is also able to allow most attacks to pass through him harmlessly, though certain types of energy and psychic abilities are still able to hurt him.

Specialized Equipment

To aid in their ghost hunting escapades, Susana and Jeremy make use of a specially customised van. Essentially an urban tank, the Ghostmobile as its sometimes called, is the pair's home away from home, equipped with camping and ghost hunting supplies enough to keep them going for weeks at a time.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Once, Jeremy Black was just a University student in a van trying to find evidence of ghosts, but all that changed when he and his then-girlfriend Susana managed to create the Poltergeist Machine, a device that could allow one to communicate with the restless dead and one that soon malfunctioned, separating Jeremy's spirit energy from his body and birthing a brand new type of superhero.

Education

Jeremy Black has earned several degrees in fields such as folklore, theoretical physics and mechanical engineering, with a PhD in applied physics which he achieved remotely while doing his occult research.

Employment

Jeremy's primary work is for himself, needing little to supplement the income from his superhero activities, Nobel prize, and occasional guest lecturing at the University of Bathala.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Earned the Nobel Prize, alongside Susana Black, in physics for successfully proving the existence of spiritual energy.

Intellectual Characteristics

Jeremy is something of a scatterbrain when not focused on a single task, often getting sidetracked by tangents and wanting to explore the minutiae of a given problem, sometimes at the expense of the bigger picture. That said, when a topic or challenge has managed to capture his full attention, then he'll dedicate himself to it with every ounce of his will. Thanks to this, he's able to tackle problems far beyond all but the most gifted scientists, and has on occasion even given Cryogen a run for her money.

Morality & Philosophy

After his accident, Jeremy wasn't sure what to do with his newfound ability until, during a camping trip with Susana, she explained to him how she'd always wanted to help people and now they had the opportunity to do so in a way that no-one else could. He was captivated by her compassion and decided that evening to join her quest. Jeremy can sometimes have a cold detachment from the human factors of a situation, but with a little prodding it becomes clear that he simply wants to provide the most happiness to as many people as possible.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Jeremy is generally a well-meaning individual, hoping to improve people's lives by being a part of them, but it was his promise to Susana that really drives him in his superhero work, otherwise he'd be happy just chasing ghosts forever. Over a campfire, Jeremy vowed to join his wife in her quest to help people wherever they can and with everything they've got. Her passion ignited his and if ever one falters, the other is always there to keep them on track.
