maybe also a hobo and a young journalist? seems like the two type of people to get caught up in demon ghost and serial killer shit
omg that’s perfect lmao
how about the underpaid teenage fast-food employee too?
maybe a weird scientist who doesn’t get the credit they deserve
and a survivor of one of the killers
hell yeaaa
Here’s an idea for the ghost:
Wilbur, Mechanical Ghost
Passive NPC
Wilbur is a ghost NPC you can find in the hub world of the game who can make you items that use up battery such as locators or some light source items if you give him some money and are at the level needed to unlock them.
Wilbur is a friendly ghost who was in the group of myth hunters before he died, and still is a member of them. He died after being crushed under a car he was trying to repair. Wilbur used to continue hunting ghosts with the other hunters a lot even after he died, learning some information about phantom class entities, but decided to settle down at their campsite and work on making items for other hunters in the group.
After he gets a lot of money from the week, he gives the money to his friends as he has no use for them, though he does ask that some of them buy some parts to make the items.
Wilbur also gives some details on phantom class entities in the documenting book that the myth hunters have, usually dropping the names of the ghosts and the ways the ghosts died. The rest of the details are usually unreliable information from ghost stories about the ghosts, or how they interacted towards Wilbur.
also another note for Wilbur:
he cannot directly speak to people as he is a ghost, however he carries a book around while floating which he writes in like how ghosts would write in books in horror things, and is capable of communicating with other ghosts.
Wilbur also wears a yellow shirt, blue pants, and mechanical goggles on his forehead and his body glows a light blue.
that’s sad
at least wilbur is a good ghost
oh shit
there should be a passive npc for every killer class
i mean what type of passive would there be for a slasher entity
a survivor
like a woman who had an awful encounter and has ptsd
someone who is just as murderous as the slasher people, but only against the monsters.
maybe the entities are somewhat reluctant to go near them because of how fucking murderous they are
I was thinking a crazy person for the BEAST class entities
here’s a list for possible characters and what class they specialize in:
phantom: wilbur
detector: a private eye investigator
lurker: a town sheriff who’s incredibly paranoid of the dark
slasher: traumatized ptsd survivor
digital: crazy pc tech guy
beast: bloodthirsty hunter who craves the thrill
demon: a priest of some kind
trick: a sage or shaman
easter egg: hectopopobro (my avatar)
boss class: very strong commando from the military or some kind of bounty hunter
I mean lurkers seem to just be mysterious creatures that hide in the shadows mostly, weird for a criminal to be studying them
okay makes sense
lemme change it to like
maybe a sheriff?
like that works with the mandela catalogue type monsters pretty well
k fixed it
just for fun we should like rank the classes from least to most inherently evil
demon is highest on evil, they consist of maddened and angered spirits that want to take out their evil on everyone around them.
phantoms probably on the lowest part. They’re ghosts that are confused and in denial of their death, they aren’t entirely meaning to harm you, they’re simply acting out in confusion and fear.
that gives me an idea for a special but incredibly rare item against ghosts
called “guiding incense” or something
calms down the frightened spirits and then they will literally leave you alone for the rest of the week or at least become much less hostile
I still kinda like my idea of someone who is basically a slasher but against monsters, makes more sense imo
that’s literally what the beast specialist NPC is
