Complications:
Doesn't Know He's A Ghost - Shadow Lantern, though aware that he's some kind of supernatural being, has not put together (and has something of a blind spot on the subject) that he is a ghost.
Forgotten More Than Most - Shadow Lantern no longer remembers his mortal life, or how he came to become what he is.
Earth-bound - Shadow Lantern's hatred, among other issues that even he has forgotten, enabled him to manifest. If he ever achieves closure, he may find himself moving on.
Hatred - The Shadow Lantern believes he is the natural enemy of all undead creatures with special emphasis on the vampires and zombies.
Hunting Spirits - Though it has no phyisological effect on him, Shadow Lantern thinks consuming alcoholic berverages helps him think. As such, he has become a psychological alcoholic.
Thrills - The Shadow Lantern is a thrillseeker and a thief.
Vulnerability - Ghosts and spirits have a peculiar weakness to salt. When laid in a fully-enclosed circle, salt can trap them. Likewise, if used as a power descriptor, it adds +2 damage to the attack.
Weakness - Weapons coated in ectoplasm are usable against ghosts, making them tangable to whatever is coated in it.

The Shadow Lantern was created, designed and played by Rob Stone. He is now an NPC.
