- Is vulnerable to sunlight, holy symbols*, stakes through the heart*, and beheading. (Vampire)

_{(*Ellis is only vulnerable to holy symbols wielded by those of genuine faith; stakes through the heart immobilize Ellis but do not kill him. This increases the cost of his Vampire quality by one point, to 16.)}

- Receives -1 penalty to Willpower rolls to resist fear or losing his temper, or otherwise letting his emotions rule. (Artist)

- Has a a bonus of +1 on Willpower Tests to resist fear, neatly canceling out the fear bit above. (Due to Fast Reaction)

- Has a +4 bonus to Survival Tests (Hard to Kill).

- Has 4 points of Armor Value against blunt attacks (Natural Toughness).

Carries on his person at most times:

• Several knives: specifically 1) his 'default' pocketknife, usually a Harpy; 2) a throwing dagger; 3) a Swiss Army style “tool” pocketknife; 4) and a crude but sharp knife of wrought iron
  
• 2-3 guitar strings or piano wires, in small coils. One of these is usually in his hatband
  
• A steel-reinforced stake made of ironwood
  
• A crucifix, made of silver, worn on a necklace of beads
  
• A silver cigarette case
  
• A silver Zippo lighter
  
• Cellular phone
  
• Wallet
  
• Either a wrist- or pocketwatch– he owns several of both
  
• A harmonica, made of silver, and a case for the harmonica
  
• A handkerchief
• A small vial, given by the Lady, that will instantly heal all injuries upon consumption– one use only

If going into light-to-moderate battle, Ellis may supplement these with:

• A hand axe (qualifies as small axe) or a machete
  
• More throwing daggers, possibly another back-up knife
  
• A handgun, most often a Ruger .45
  

If expecting heavy battle, Ellis's preferred gear is:

• Police-standard body armor over torso
  
• An AK-47
  
• A chainsaw
  
• A string of hand grenades…..
  
• ….and this is why we can't have nice things, Ellis.
  
• (Ahem. Ellis engages in what he'd qualify as 'heavy' combat about once every 3-4 years.)

Found in the field:

• Tactical Vest [Armor Value 4]
