Character Information

Known History

There's not much "Known" about Randall Scott. Even his name is a fraud, which he will cheerfully admit. He's (depending on when you ask) from Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, or any number of other places. Sometimes he lived through the Great Depression, sometimes he missed it. He may have served in the Pacific during the Second World War, maybe he fought in Korea, perhaps he's criminal and the only serving he did was on the chain gang. The only consistent portions of his story are that he grew up poor, went "On the Road" while wandering the United States, has always been able to talk to ghosts, and considers himself to be a voodoo sorcerer.

He "Earned His Bones" in Baltimore, where he served as Sheriff for a time back in 2007. A position he describes as "My investigation abilities backed up by four Gangrel who liked to hit people". For an unknown reason (Most likely due to some sort of arcane situation within the Tremere) he ended up moving to Dayton along with William Shultz and Elias Beecher in 2009. The other two have since moved on, but Randall stayed.

These nights he seems to spend his time traveling around the Ohio Domains, avoiding whatever supernatural or political events that may be occurring and instead chatting people up on Elysium. He seems to be on a crusade against what he refers to as “The lazy science of the stereotype”, and tries to point out that regardless of Clan…most Kindred are “just folk trying to get by”.

He is also often seen in the company of various Giovanni, and the rumor mill has him romantically involved with one.

Quotes

  • "I'm a botanist by hobby. A very certain type of botanist. A niche, really. I, uh, grow pot."
  • "Your shoes really don't have anything interesting to say, and they speak Chinese."
  • "There is nothing more satisfying than using eldritch powers for irresponsible purposes."

  • "Oh, I've been there! Well, not since I died..."
  • "Who you gonna call?! House High Saturday, bitches, that's who!"
  • "Seriously. I can't fly, throw fire, conjure anything, grab you with my mind. Unless you want to know what a table lamp thinks, or need to talk to a dead guy, I'm really quite useless"
  • "Good to meet ya! Here, have a beer!"
  • "Hallucinogens alter your consciousness. They pierce the veil and allow you to commune with the spirit world. That's why they're used in so many shamanic rites. Also, they let you see dragons. And that's pretty cool."
  • "There's a Nietzsche quote that pretty well sums up my life's expereinces: 'In consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence and loathing seizes him'. Dark? Yup! But life ain't pretty, and if you can't embrace the absurd and shed some angst then the horror will kill you."
