Anguished Character Pack
Every campaign needs characters that linger.
This NPC Pack introduces four gothic-horror NPCs designed to weave seamlessly into investigative, psychological, or eerie tabletop adventures. Each character carries unresolved history, emotional weight, and secrets that may draw your players closer—or pull them into something far darker.
Inside this pack:
- 🕯️ Jess, the Unfinished Witness – A determined investigator haunted by fragmented memories and places she cannot leave behind.
- 🕯️ Tony, the Watchful Protector – A grounded guardian who trusts routine over superstition, and will stand between danger and those he cares for.
- 🕯️ Sasha, the Quiet Listener – A perceptive observer who notices patterns others miss, and fears what they might mean.
- 🕯️ Liam, the Fractured Architect – A calm, manipulative presence who believes suffering reveals truth—and may be shaping events from the shadows.
What you get:
- 4 richly detailed NPCs with quick-reference blurbs, quirks, and roleplaying notes
- Secrets, twists, and escalating plot hooks designed for long-term or one-shot play
- Suggested 5e-compatible stat blocks for easy integration
- Flexible design: use them as allies, investigators, witnesses, or antagonists
- Gothic, psychological horror tone ideal for small parties and mystery-driven campaigns
Whether introduced individually or as part of a shared case, these characters bring quiet dread, emotional tension, and unsettling depth to your table.
