Henry Johnson

The honor of first Player Character submitted to the House goes to Troy “Dolcet” Brock. Henry Johnson is a Sword Bearer from the Nightbane RPG (The Nightlands sourcebook to be specific) and an Antiquities Consultant.

While I hadn't considered the Sword Bearer O.C.C. for BTS before,
I really like the idea of this O.C.C. as much as I do Henry's character as a whole. Take out the verbiage of The Nightlords and putting The Supernatural in its place, and you've got a BTS worthy O.C.C. with little alteration required.

Henry is the possessor of Shamshir, a Greatest Artifact that became bonded to him after he discovered its resting place (within the hidden tomb of Genghis Khan) by accident. Since then, Henry's been traveling the world for more than forty years, working as an antiques consultant while slaying the Supernatural.

The depiction of Henry is none other than Bob Newhart, this particular picture coming from The Librarian TV movies and TV show. Side Note: All three Librarian TV movies and The Librarians TV show are very Indiana Jones inspired, very BTS worthy and very worth watching if you ever get the chance.

Svetlana “Sparks” Dementyeva

Submitted by “Hibik”, Svetlana (“Lana”) is a 23-year-old American-Russian Fire walker, Musician & Part-Time Bartender.

As is common for Fire Walkers, Lana is a passionate woman, especially when it comes to music, cars, motorcycles, and politics. When not involved in a paranormal investigation, she can be found trying to make it big in the music business, and hanging out with other paranormal enthusiasts.

Not sure where the image came from, most likely she's a “Suicide Girl” model (she has that “look” and matches well with Lana's description).

She's a great first submission from Hibik, and I look forward to more!

Cassie Chadwick

Cassie Chadwick is a player character that's near and dear to my heart. Cassie came from the mind of one of my favorite players (Shannon), and she created Cassie using my
Lucky Psychic P.C.C. from the Rifter #53.

After playing her for a few levels, Shannon wanted to try a different character, asking me to add Cassie to my list of available player characters. Model is unknown.

Elizabeth “Beth” Melrose

Submitted by Warren “Hibik” Davis, Elizabeth (“Beth”) Melrose is a 27-year-old Psychic Sensitive and Religious Scholar, specializing in esoteric, mystical and religious lore.

Early in life she planned to become a nun, but life had other ideas in mind for her. She's often consulted for both her academic expertise and her psychic powers.

She's a really interesting character, one that I wish I'd created myself. Nice work Hibik! Art / artist is unknown.

“Pastor Luke Christianson”
A.K.A.: Yegor Golovchenko,
Priest of Vice and member of the Court of Tarot

Yegor was commissioned by BTS fan, House guest and good friend Scott Zaboem while I was back in school, learning how to build websites. Scott asked for character based off the Priest of Vice P.C.C. he'd written (and has since submitted to the House). I had a LOT of fun designing Yegor, and years later he's still one of my favorite commissions.

Recently, Scott joined in on one of my Discord PBP adventures and played Yegor to great fun and effect. I realized while looking over his two character sheets (as all Priests of Vice characters should have two separate sheets) that they were in need of updating.

So, as of 2/22/2022, you can click here to download the newest version of Yegor!

Pastor Luke Christianson (which Yegor's legally changed his name to years ago) is a
36-year-old Priest of Vice P.C.C. who's a traveling evangelist and member of the Court of Tarot. Still preferring to go by Yegor in private, he's lived nearly twenty years as a Priest of Vice, and it shows; Yegor looks several years older than he really is, and has a body full of aches, pains and scars. But even so, he's still one of the toughest psychics you'll ever come across (especially during a period of vice) as well as a gifted priest, or healer, or exorcist when you need one.

Ive always been a fan of Scott scribes, which not only includes this House exclusive version of the Priest of Vice P.C.C., but also the incredibly good Court of Tarot article in the Rifter #45. Its one of my personal favorite BTS articles and I refer to and use it regularly in my home games.

I had a lot of fun designing and creating Yegor; I think he's one of the most complex and intriguing characters I've ever created. Due to the dual nature of the priest, there are two character sheets for him, one which depicts him during a period of Vice, the other during a period of Virtue.

Zain Lomax

Zain is a 35-year-old Psychic Diviner and Bail Recovery Agent/Bounty Hunter. Zain spent most of his adult life as a warehouse laborer and a public nuisance, making one bad decision after another and hanging out with a bad crowd. Then, a chance encounter changed all that.

He's only been a bounty hunter and a psychic for a couple of years and has a lot to learn, and some of his old habits are dying hard.

Zain was created for an online play-by-play game with my good pal and fellow BTS fan Scott Zaboem.
The image is Francis from Left 4 Dead.

NOTE: Zain's Pregen Character Sheet has been updated as of 10/18/19. For those who want it, click here to download my original Character Sheet

Mercedes Lee Kingsolver &
Madison Jane Kingsolver

Mercedes & Madison Kingsolver are sisters and a team. Mercedes is an Autistic Psychic Savant Player Character and Madison is an Ordinary Human and her assistant during paranormal investigations.

Mercedes grew up in a loving (if not misunderstood) household, and started developing her Savant Psychic abilities around ten-years-old. She now uses her psychic talents as a Paranormal Investigator, with the help and assistance of her sister, Madison.

Madison is a paternal and caring person by nature.
While she's proud of Mercedes and appreciates her willingness (if not determination) to use her psychic talents to help people, she herself is not a paranormal enthusiast and has challenges confronting all the terrifying things she witnesses at Mercedes’ side.

Both images are from the Rose Red TV movie.

Maren Michelle O'Connell

Maren is a 25-year-old Psychic Diviner and Forest Ranger.

Maren is a favorite character of mine as Stephanie created and played her with lots of personality and details (her heterochromia eyes are a nice touch).

Maren even got me to finally write some details about Ghostwood National Forest as she works there (its existed in my home game for years). I've added some notes about it in this PDF.

The image used is actress Rose Leslie, photoshopped as she does not have Heterochromia in real life.

Steph, thank you for letting Maren stay at the House!
