Tough 2/ Fast 1
Hit Dice: 1d10+1d8+9 (28 hp)
Initiative: +2
Speed: 30 ft.
Defense: 17 (+5 Class, +2 Dex)
Base Attack/Grapple: +1/+2
Action Points: 6
Space/Reach: 5 ft./5 ft.
Saves: Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +1
Abilities: Str 12, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 12
Occupation: Law Enforcement (Gather Information & Knowledge: Tactics)
Reputation: +0
Skills: Drive +3 (1), Electronics Use +2 (1), Gamble +3 (0), Gather Information +3 (2), Hide +4 (2), Intimidate +8 (5), Investigate +3 (2), Knowledge (Streetwise) +4 (3), Knowledge (Tactics) +3 (2), Move Silent +4 (2), Spot +3 (2)
Feats/Talents/Special: Combat Martial Arts, Confident, Personal Firearms, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot
Wealth: 10
Allegiances: FBI, Self, Good
Appearance: Standing just above six foot (6’ 1”) and weighing just over 210 lbs he has an impressive frame and broad shoulders. Looking youthful for his age (26), he shows little signs of stress or fatigue. His dark brown hair contrasts his green eyes. He hates wearing suits and if he gets the chance he won’t.
Background: The first thing Jack remembers is growing up in a Catholic orphanage just outside Portland, Oregon. In fact that is all Jack remembers of his childhood. Raised during the depression and the war, there were not many families willing to adopt. That Jack was known as a trouble-maker.
Naturally athletic Jack did well in high school, playing fullback in football. Jack made a name for himself locally. Looking forward to enlisting, the war ended before he was old enough. Instead he attended the University of Oregon on a football scholarship. During his junior year though he was injured and while smart he had to worker at his academics.
Ultimately he applied for the Portland Police Bureau and was hired as a cop. He made a good street cop, although he earned a reputation of being heavy handed and excessive sometimes. After three years on the job he applied for the FBI. Being a G-man seemed more exciting and better opportunities to fight crime.
Once again he gained a reputation of being heavy handed and rough. He was transferred to “Special-Investigations” where he first encountered strange and paranormal things. At first he was skeptical but now he loves the chase and unusual aspects of the job.

Talents: Increased Speed, Improved Increased Speed.
Wealth: +1
Allegiances: Texas, FBI, Mama.
Appearance: At 5'7" and 140 pounds, Ryan only qualified to be a
FBI agent through his marksmanship skill. A red-head, heavy
freckled, and somewhat bony, he isn't going to win any beauty
contest.
Background: Ryan came of Dead Hope, TX. With his father a
sheriff, it was only natural that he would go into law enforcement.
While at first he didn't really have any aspiration higher than sheriff
for himself, his steady hand and somewaht sharp wit led his
instructor to suggest he might want to apply to either the Secret
Service or the FBI. After flipping a coin, the FBI it was.
While he himself never experienced anything remotely close from
being occult, Ryan isn't close-minded, and does believe something
might be out there.
