Appearance/Clothing Tendencies: Rupert is on the lean side with a bit of gawky thrown in for good measure. he's also short. He has the charisma and presence of Joe Pesci. He always seems to be slightly behind the curve when it comes to style and his ties bear silent witness to his lack of color sense and his inability to eat something without spilling some. His shoes have seen better days.

House, Circle, Influence: His two allies are his Landlady (Emma Drizowksi) and his editor (Paul Peyton) Between the two of them they are usually able to keep him from being tossed out into the street. His Backing and Influence comes from the newspaper he works for, His Contacts are a wide array of people he's interviewed, and assorted cops and crooks. His Nemesis is the Police Commissioner who considers him a menace. His reputation is that of a good writer with eccentricities.

What has gone Before: Some people are no damn good to themselves. Take Rupert for example. A semi-talented writer who went to school and got into the flourishing field of journalism. Too darn mulish to be a yellow journalist he never gets the breaks and too darn scattered to sit down and write the great American novel.

He works the crime beat on a down at the heels paper. He has no real friends, no special lady in his life and his prospects don't look good. He drinks too much...and he cares too much. An underdog couldn't have a better friend. which makes the next thing all the more heartbreaking.

Two years ago, While following a story about mad dog killer who only seemed to attack redheads, Rupert ran headlong into a Vampire. Rupert dropped his camera and ran like the wind (He escaped because the vampire had to stop and pick up the broken pieces of flash bulb.) Still, he couldn't escape what he had seen. Now he tilts at windmills and manages to have every freaky story cross his desk first. It's ruined his reputation, but he doesn't care because he might just crack the biggest story in the world wide open.

Story Uses: 

"My Friend at the Paper": Rupert is an excellent source for information. He still works the crime beat and has access to anything that the editor of the city desk knows. He has excellent ears on the street and his knowledge of his paper morgue is encyclopedic. Any character who makes friends with Rupert will find that he holds few people dear but those friends he does have are his friends for life. Of course, you will have to put up with him pestering you for favors constantly...and he'll want the exclusive.

The Shabby Crusader: Rupert is hard headed and unwilling to back down. he is a champion of the underdog and will go to the mat to fight injustice and corruption. He makes a decent friend to those with similar goals and an implacable nemesis to characters of a more shady bent.

The Kolchak Problem: Rupert knows a thing or two about the shadowy invisible world of the occult. (Although he doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks.) He is always on the lookout for supernatural trouble in the hopes that it will finally provide proof that he can publish. The only reasons that he hasn't died a million times over are his landlady, Who is a member of the White College who keeps a maternal eye on him and his own ability to run like hell when the going is too thick. Sadly, the book he eventually publishes on the occult and his experiences with it is heavily suppressed by the Aeon Society.
