[Afraid] Someones.. and Interplayer Tension

Thanks (gotta get one right sooner or later).

Re #1 and the Victim themselves, d'oh to me for missing that juicy one. Particularly given my own scenario I'm working on where the Victims are men who have mistreated women in ways ranging from crimimal to simply 'heartless' (inspired by Hound of Baskerville story, one is simply a father who cut off his daughter when she ran off with someone he disapproved of, and hasn't forgiven her even though the cad deserted her ~ him being another victim). Such can have moments when they honestly repent, pray for forgiveness ~ even though they fail again. Players may divide. The player of the "investigator" whose professional interest is that they're the local pastor, vs the player of the veteran who sees in every human act harming and wronging others the first step to the creation of the next Monster, or the "entangled" who is the uncle of the woman mistreated and brother of the Victim.

The backgrounds do come with some implicitly variable "agendas". Would be interesting to hear if play has seen those borne out: Veteran wants the Monster stopped most of all, a bitter Veteran may see a "dead Victim as better than a Victimized Victim" (a rogue Veteran with that attitude could be an interesting complication). Attached/Entangled want the Victim saved most of all and their relationship maintained/redeemed (and could be natural rivals over that - the fiance and the ex-fiance). Investigator wants to learn and fit it into the paradigm of their discipline. If players "get into" the agenda that comes with a background, some conflict will flow naturally. "Let's use the Victim as bait" will go down smoother with some than others.
