Skyler

Monster Type: Ghost

Motivation: Trickster (create chaos)

Skyler is the ghost of a teenage boy killed in a car accident. When he was alive, Skyler had an interest in technology, spending his free time taking apart phones and other electronics in a shed in his backyard. After his death, Skyler's spirit became anchored to one of his phones.

Several months after his death, teenagers in Skyler's town discovered that if they called his number, they could contact Skyler from beyond the grave. This sparked a trend of kids contacting Skyler to see if his ghostly abilities were the real deal. It seemed harmless (if a bit morbid) until a seance held at a party led to several teenagers getting seriously injured.

Skyler has the ability to move objects and interfere with electronics. Crucially, Skyler does not know that he is dead. He becomes agitated and violent when people tell him this. Skyler may be defeated by destroying the phone his spirit resides in, or by exorcising his spirit from the phone.
