(Even one of the specialties is Religion)Occult is reserved for superstitious legends (usually those NOT related to a major religion).  Otherwise, all devout christians could be said to have a couple ranks in Occult!!Occult deals with thing like supernatural creatures (Ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc), Magic, Wicca, Tarot, palmistry, etc.  Knowledge of ancient egyptian mythology may qualify as a single dot in occult with the specialty (Egyptian Mythology), but Occult is usually reserved for a more general knowledge about stuff that the general public considers to be 'not real'.The reason I took two dots in it is b/c my aunt's Wiccan, my mom does Palmistry, most of my Mom's side of the family believes in magic & the supernatural, we talk about it a lot, and I personally love reading about vampires.. non-fiction books such as Piercing the Darkness and Encyclopedia of the Undead.On an unrelated note, i see that you have Academics 3.  Whenever I see someone with three or more ranks in something, I wonder why, b/c 3 ranks is considered Broad, Detailed knowledge/skill.  I'm just curious, b/c you have nothing in your background to suggest a lot of Post-secondary Education... Is that from random knowledge gained in various forums, or College graduate, or what?  And if you are a college grad, what did you major in?  That may be worth a specialty.The Firearms and Larceny I will assume came from your extensive military background.</blockquote>
