'''Physical description:''' A long haired, young looking man.  Generally wearing Goodwill clothing, an ironic t-shirt, a worn US Army messenger bag and a battered trilby hat.  He is also adorned with various trinkets of either a magical or religious nature.  He usually smells vaguely of marijuana or alcohol.  There is almost always a grin on his face, and his laughter comes easily.  He will most likely be found in a circle of Kindred, loudly expounding on either some random subject or his own worthlessness.

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 (a Bokor).

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.

Having arrived back in Baltimore after spending five years in Ohio, Randall seems...different.  Instead of a gregarious and friendly man, quick with a joke and a grin, he's much more grim.  There's a tightness about him. He's much more fatalistic, and his laugh is strained. His humor turns more and more to the macabre and the absurd.  Rumor has it that he's on the outs with his Clan, but he refuses to speak about it or confirm it.

Most 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”.  More recently, however, there appears to be some strain on the man.  Whereas before he was always quite affable and agreeable, there appears to be a bit more of a darker streak to him and he often appears to be more worn than usual.  There is a definite tightness around the eyes...He does his best to not let it shine through, but is not exactly successful.

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 (a Bokor).

Having arrived back in Baltimore after spending five years in Ohio, Randall seems...different. Instead of a gregarious and friendly man, quick with a joke and a grin, he's much more grim. There's a tightness about him. He's much more fatalistic, and his laugh is strained. His humor turns more and more to the macabre and the absurd. Rumor has it that he's on the outs with his Clan, but he refuses to speak about it or confirm it.
