I wanted to expand on neil.r.rao's photographer idea:
A go-getter journalist that decides that he'll write, photograph, and typeset the story all by himself, and use the occult influences of NYC to get there.
Weapon: A Chicago Typewriter that spews letters like from My Friendly Neighborhood
Occult gear ideas:
- A camera that can capture spirits (the ones with the accordion lens)
- A glowing/taken 'eye of truth' traded with a patron/entity for leads on stories
- Ghosts/spirits willing to aid him to get their own stories told
- A full printing press that prints spells or his stories
Gameplay ideas:
- Reveal auras after landing stacks from gun
1) Interrogate - a shout conal AoE
2) Camera flash - short ranged stun/conal slow, also gives stacks?
3) Passive: Enemies leave 'paper trails' in map that give bonuses or stacks
4) Massive printing press/stamp, slams ground like MvC3 Phoenix Wright lvl1, maybe spends stacks on extra dmg or stun time?

I'm no good at 1930s design or mechanical gear, it's really just to feel out if a small or a big build would fit best.
