Vex Marlowe

Intro Name: Vex Marlowe Age: 29 Appearance: Vex stands at 6’2”, lean and wiry, with a quietly coiled energy that suggests he’s always ready to move. His ash-blond hair falls messily over his brow, just shy of his sharp storm-grey eyes. A jagged scar slices faintly across the left side of his neck — an old wound that seems to pulse faintly when spirits are near. He wears a worn black field jacket layered over a high-collared tactical hoodie, with silver-threaded runes etched into the seams. His boots are scuffed and silent, built for chasing shadows. A single obsidian ring on his right hand is the only ornament he wears — a relic from a case he doesn’t talk about. Light Background: Vex was raised on the outskirts of a forgotten mining town, where the dead outnumbered the living. His father vanished during an unsanctioned exorcism when Vex was ten — a mystery that gnawed its way into the boy’s bones. He didn’t set out to become a ghost hunter. The ghosts came to him first. Now, he moves from city to city, following whisper trails and psychic ruptures. He doesn’t work with a team, and he never charges. Some say he’s chasing something. Others say he already found it — and it changed him.
