Ghostbusters 5E: Backgrounds

Posted by

With this piece in place, the actual creating of Ghostbuster characters is possible, although equipping them will have to wait until the next post.

Background

This is what you were before you became a Ghostbuster, your character’s “back story” as it were. It provides you with some proficiencies, a special feature, and your characteristics (Trait, Ideal, Bond, and Flaw). The ones listed here are far from exhaustive– if you have a background idea that doesn’t fall into any of these (for instance, if you wanted to play a former police detective turned Ghostbuster, who therefore has proficiency with guns and the Investigation skill), you should work with the GM to create a custom background that suits your character.

Random tables have been provided in order to quickly select characteristics, but you should not feel required to roll. Pick characteristics that suit you or make up your own. These are intended as roleplaying prompts, not a straightjacket.

Academic
You may have become a Ghostbuster straight out of college, or possibly you are still a student or professor. The point is that you’re a lot more comfortable among the books than you are taking the hard knocks of the real world.

Skill Proficiencies: Parapsychology, choice of: Electronics, History, Medicine, Religion, Science
Tool Proficiencies: computers
Languages: Latin, one other of your choice
Equipment: smart phone, laptop or tablet, lots and lots of books
Feature: Research Savant
You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to look up information. When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you don’t know the information, you at least have a pretty good idea where and from whom you can obtain it, if it’s available.

Suggested Characteristics

1) I use polysyllabic words that convey the impression of great erudition.

6) I… speak… slowly… when talking… to idiots… which… almost… everyone… is… compared… to me.

6) I can’t keep a secret to save my life, or anyone else’s.

Buckaroo
You’re a rip-roarin’ rootin’-tootin’ adventurer, busting spooks where in an another era you might have been wrangling cattle or punching Nazis over mystic artifacts. You’ve probably got a name like “Montana Smith” or “Billabong Jack” and you’re prone to wearing a hat of some variety… which looks ridiculous with a Ghostbusters jumpsuit but you wear it anyway. At least you’re dedicated.

Equipment: pickup truck, mechanic tools, climbing gear, cowboy boots, a hat, a musical instrument

4) I Can Lick Any Varmint In the World. Or the underworld, as the case may be!

6) Don’t expect me to save those what can’t save themselves. It’s nature’s way for the strong to eat the weak.

Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, choice of one other
Tool Proficiencies: computers, cars
Languages: one of your choice
Equipment: expensive clothes, sportscar, credit cards, laptop
Feature: Wealthy
You can easily cover the cost of anything you break. No matter how many ghosts you roll, doors you kick in, or ectomobiles you crash, you never do any Environmental Damage. You are a high roller and a big tipper, welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are.

3) Independence. I can handle myself! I don’t need my family, or their money, watching over me all the time!
4) Getting Even Richerer. You play your cards right, ghost-busting’s a great gig. That Peter Venkman acts like a jerk, but he’s a jerk with a niiiiice retirement fund.

Skill Proficiencies: Parapsychology, Religion
Language: Latin
Equipment: lots of black makeup, lots of black clothes, Joy Division CD
Feature: Creepy
You tend to creep out the living, gaining advantage on Charisma (Intimidate) checks against them; on the other hand, spooks, otherworldly creatures and the like are “your crowd,” giving you advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks against them. Go fig.

Suggested Characteristics
d8) Personality Trait

2) I see omens in every event and action. The Powers try to speak to us, we just need to listen.

4) I am tiny, scrawny, and thin, and seem for all the world to be little more than a layer of skin around a wire frame. My flexibility weirds people out.

Languages: choice of German, Greek, or Latin
Equipment: ritual knife, a copy of the Necronomicon or other tome, a lot of aluminum foil
Feature: On the Fringe
You are connected with a vast network of people on the edges of society… or beyond it. Researchers, crackpots, lunatics and visionaries, all dismissed by ordinary people, but all willing to help out fellow “seekers” like themselves with information that may or may not be useful, strange inventions or items that may or may not actually do anything, or even just someone to watch your back when you go down into the tunnels of the mole people. The truth is out there… and these people will help you find it.

2) Comfort. I know what it is to feel isolated, confused, and alone. I shall do what I can to prevent anyone else from knowing that pain.
3) Security. If the whole world knew the truth of the cosmos, humanity would run screaming into the peace and comfort of a new dark age. We are their bulwark.
4) Determination. There are secrets out there, secrets that are being kept from me. I will know the truth, or die trying!
5) Greater Good. Learning the true nature of the cosmos may be a painful wrench at first, but in the long run it’s necessary to face the truth and learn to cope.
6) Power. Trapping ghosts is merely phase one. These “Ghostbuster” fools have only begun to scratch the surface!

d6) Bond
1) I lost loved ones to unnameable, unknowable things. While I live, never again!
2) Yes, my friends think I’m crazy. Let them laugh. But I shall protect them in spite of themselves.

4) One day I shall be strong enough to return to that cursed place, and destroy the thing that whispers to me in the night.

2) We are all just pawns in a giant cosmic chess game. If it is our place to fall, we shall fall. It is inevitable.

4) I sometimes doubt my own sanity. Other times, I doubt yours.
5) I must go. My planet needs me.
6) I’m a werewolf. Don’t tell the guys.

Tool Proficiencies: cars, two others of your choice
Feature: Sane
No matter how world-class weird it gets in your line of work, you stay grounded and relatable. That doesn’t mean you don’t freak out every now and again, but even when you freak out you keep your head about it. When you are subject to confusion effects, you roll twice and take the preferred result. Furthermore, in situations where having a “voice of reason” would be beneficial, you or any ally within 30′ that can hear you has advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks.

d8) Personality Trait
1) I’m always polite and respectful.
2) I didn’t have a lot of school, but my momma didn’t raise no fool.

7) I come up with funny names for everybody, including and especially the spooks we bust.
8) I’m snarky, but with a heart of gold. Well, silver, anyway.

1) Teamwork. I got their backs, they got mine. Glory’s good, but getting’ the job done is better.
2) Pride. I do a good job, that earns me respect and an honest living.
3) Kickin’ Undead Butt. Those spooks have gotta be busted, and I’m the one for the job!
4) Doing the Right Thing. Sometimes it just feels good to lend a hand, y’know?
5) Toys! I don’t even know what a thermoplasmic interphaser is, but I totally want to smoke some spuds with it.
6) Action. You get to blare a siren, see horrifying monsters, blast a proton pack, dodge flying debris, and swing from cables… and that’s just orientation! This is the best job ever!

d6) Bond
1) All my life I’ve wanted to be really good at something. Maybe this will be it.
2) Gettin’ some thrills while I pay the bills, baby! WOOOOHOO!
3) We do important work. I’m proud to be a Ghostbuster.
4) Don’t tell the guys I said so, but I love ’em all, the giant bozos.
5) I’m not letting any moldy Babylonian god bring about the end-times in MY town!
6) If there’s a steady paycheck in it? I’ll believe anything you say.

d6) Flaw
1) I do what the boss says… even if I think they’re wrong.
2) I quickly lose patience with anything too complex, subtle, or just plain boring.
3) I’m prone to run away first, and ask questions later.
4) I’d say anything to avoid doing a little extra work.
5) I’m easily talked or intimidated into doing the stuff nobody else wants to do, and I resent it.

Well that should keep you roleplaying nerds busy for a while! ;) Next time: equipment.
