Robert Bullis

Robert Bullis has never been one of your most normal friends. As a reporter for 'The Whole Truth', a local tabloid, he is constantly following the most grisly and disgusting stories that he can find. His gawky 5'9" frame, lanky legs, long arms and pale skin makes him look very much like Death in a cheap suit. Still, hiis bizarre sense of humour and charming personality has won over many a heart. Now if he would just stop talking about all those serial killings over coffee things would be fine.

He studied journalism at University and minored in Literature. His favourite author of all time was Edgar Allen Poe, and he has every book the man ever wrote lying around his apartment and at the private office he uses when he has the urge to write a novel. As he is embarrassed by his constant failing to ever publish any of his more serious work, only his closest friends know of, or have even seen his downtown workplace. While a great writer, he has never had the willpower or attention span to finish something as lengthy as a novel, but maintains the office for when he gets his creative spurts.

Over the past two years you haven't really seen much of him, usually only the random phone call or a brief lunch or dinner. He's been wrapped up in a series of grisly slayings that have been plaguing the city. You suspect that he may have known one of the male victims somehow because his normal jovial attitude towards death and his job has been somewhat repressed over the past little while.

So, when he calls you desperately asking for your help, you must admit your a little surprised. 1
