What does UNDEAD mean? No need to breathe. No pain receptors. Immune to mind-altering powers and effects, etc.
What about Zombie as a Complication?
Head shots take him down. He loses focus due to an overwhelming desire for brains.
He has extra EC so he can use Counter-Attack without having to tap into the pool of EC, but also to increase his Threshold.
Zombies are hard to take down after all.
Being a FORMER POLICE INVESTIGATOR allows him to set up their crimes well, as he knows the way the criminal mind works, and knows the method law en-forcement uses to find criminals. So, he can make sure they leave a crime scene clean of evidence, can provide a distrac-tion, and maybe even hack into a police response system to provide misdirection.
His STRENGTH is not Linkable, but he can use his UNDEAD Trait to boost it, as he is unconcerned with muscles tearing to ac-complish a Herculean task.

Gravesludge
Background
The zombie known as Gravesludge was once Jackson Cray, a renowned police investigator whose ruggedly handsome appearance, impressive physique, natural charisma and his sharp mind made him a media darling.
A few years ago, he took on a case of a most perplexing nature – investi-gating a rash of corpse thefts. After a short time, he learned that the per-son responsible was a woman named Kaitlin Ross. He tracked her down to an abandoned warehouse and attempted to arrest her, only to be attacked by five zombies that she had just created. Just as Cray was finishing off the last undead minion, Ross plunged a ceremonial dagger into his back, killing him instantly. He didn’t stay dead for long, however, as the woman used her powers to resurrect him into the most powerful zombie she had ever created. For reasons unknown
even to her, he maintained most of his mental faculties, though his mind was now twisted and evil.
Cray’s already impressive physical strength and stamina have been height-ened to extreme levels, allowing him to easily lift busses over his head and shrug off even the most severe damage. Furthermore, he secretes disgusting-looking ooze from his pores, which burns anyone who comes into contact with it.

“Little Girl” -- Trait, Complication, and Factoid? Yup. Trait: She will use this to gain an advantage, maybe she can be saved? No one wants to unleash a building-shattering punch on an innocent little girl. She also likes the things little girls like, and might get distracted by a My Little Horsie figure, or maybe the demon doesn’t fully have possession of her for just that moment.
Shadowcreeper will try and soften up foes Incapacitating them, but will also hide in the shadows, avoiding combat as long as possible, and fi-nally striking with an element of sur-prise.

“So, tell me. How does it feel
to be killed by a little girl?”
Background
Most people regard demonic possession merely as something seen in bad horror films. The orphan named Marinda Rasmussen was no different.
Much to her eternal delight, however, she was wrong.
Marinda’s parents died in a car crash when she was an infant. Custody was awarded to her Aunt Bernice and Uncle Gerald, who raised her until she was almost three years of age. Highly religious people, they began to sense a certain darkness in her, a darkness that they just couldn’t live with. As such, she was sent to live in an orphanage, where she was treat-ed poorly by those in charge. Her darkness intensifitreat-ed as a result.
One night while Marinda was sleeping, a shadowy, spider-like figure ap-proached her, offering her an escape from this hellish life of abuse and misery. She eagerly accepted. At once, the demon took residence in her body, thinking that it would dominate the young girl’s psyche and control her body entirely. It was wrong. Marinda’s will was indomitable, allowing her to maintain control of herself, while still making use of the demon’s powers. She was the master and the demon within her was her slave.
Marinda’s vengeance on her tormentors was neither swift nor painless, leaving behind a cluster of corpses as she made her escape.

Playing the Villain
LEAPING as the rigors of combat wear on Tattie-Bogle, his body will lose bits of straw, and make it impossible for him to leap.
His STRENGTH will amp up if he Re-charges it.
He must look into the eyes of a foe to INSPIRE FEAR, so he can only do it against one foe at a time, and only after he has taken a bit of a beating.
His Auto-Defend should be described as him staring into the eyes of a foe as they try and attack him. His eyes flare and activate this ability.
