Character History/Story

Raised by parents who travelled around the world frequently he was thusly also raised in military style boarding schools on more than one occasion. When the Paschals settled in Salem, Aleister was already in his late teens and was part way through his junior year of High school. He had his first paranormal encounter on the winter solstice of that year when he witnessed the kallikantzaros, as he later discovered they were called, running around vandalizing things.

In School he did and did not fit in. While a nerd who read any and everything, he was quite physically fit, but did not join the jocks in any fashion. Nor did he fit in with the pot heads, disdaining those who used drugs for escapism. A rebel and disruptive force in school, his grades nevertheless were always an ‘A’ or better, which did not endear him to many, if any, at all. Staff included.

Moriarty and Holmes were his principle idols in literature while sci-fi, fantasy, and horror rounded out his interests.

Attended the U.S. Naval Academy out of high school. Became a pilot with a reputation for out-of-the-box critical thinking and intelligent viciousness. During a routine mission his wingman’s plane went down. Officially it was due to unknown mechanical issues and pilot error. Which he considered utter bullshit because he saw the ghost/spirit that affected the pilot at takeoff and ultimately brought down the other plane. He achieved the rank of lieutenant Commander at age 25 with his career “officially” ending shortly afterwards while assigned to D.A.R.P.A. due to the ghost incident, as it became known. He was (is?) under a D.A.R.P.A. black project: The Paranormal Initiative.

After a few years working as an arcane detective he found that he needed to get more in to the game to find and eliminate these unnatural threats.

Returning to Salem he began to work as a private detective. The Midnight Society became aware of him and stayed clear initially owing to his mere dabbling in arcane things and the penchant for paranormal people, or beings, he investigated, or ran into, dying. Additionally he seemed to exhibit an almost aberrant attitude and outlook towards life.
After a year Aleister found that working as a detective of the paranormal wasn’t enough to find and eliminate these unnatural threats he’d become more and more aware of and once the world changing event happened he experienced an epiphany that changed his whole outlook. Rededicating himself to his life mission, his mastery of magic increased greatly as did his awareness of the greater picture of the world and the dimensional entanglements therein. This newfound attitude and ability did not go unnoticed by the society, who formally extended an invitation to join a year ago. After some research into their capabilities, members, and motivations Aleister agreed to join. That was five months ago.

Aleister can often be seen running about town around dawn, midday, and or sunset and is known to frequent the University’s gymnasium on most days during off hours, as well as before closing.

About the Writer (OOC)

I am a long time role player who has enjoyed nearly all the genres out there and have done so through TTRPG and Post based writing. I prefer longer run games with both depth of character and plot, but have done one-offs as well. I try to be on the site at least once a day during the week.
