Dr. Paranormal

Dr. Paranormal is a RED Demoman TF2 Freak created by YouTube user HalBuzzkill.

Origin
After being sent into dark tunnels infested with demons and other supernatural beings by his Heavy friend in a rage, this once normal RED Demo found himself subject to a multitude of malevolent beings and sightings out for his blood.

After falling into a pit and being rescued by a trio of benevolent ghosts, he was provided with a prototype laser camera designed to combat paranormal phenomena such as demons, and the means with which to detect it all. Thus began the evolution of this Demoman into Dr. Paranormal.

Appearance
Dr. Paranormal appears as a RED Demoman with a pair of Pyrovision Goggles. He has his prototype ghost cam on his right arm and a detector on his back.

Behaviour and Personality
He's a friendly and remarkably social person, going so far to try to reason with targets before resorting to removing them, unless they are obviously evil or too out of it to be able to make sense of what he tries to say. He performs his hunts out of a sense of duty rather than for pay.

He is by no means a doctor, he took up the title to sound professional.

Powers and Abilities
Dr. Paranormal is in possession of a variety of items of equipment designed to fight and defeat supernatural beings such as demons and extra-dimensional creatures.
 * The most prominent of these is his Prototype Laser-cam, a modified Aperture Laboratories camera which acts as a flash-light and can fire special beams. These beams do severe damage to supernatural creatures but will leave normal people and objects relatively unaffected. The exception being if it's aimed at the eyes, in which case permanent retinal damage is caused. His choice of eye-wear consists of a pair of Pyrovision Goggles, modified for night-vision and to see the unseeable instead of their usual function, which makes his job much easier since most ghosts and other manifestations generally hide themselves from the naked eye. They appear to have been installed with a deadpan, self-aggrandizing and vaguely British AI that passive-aggressively insults the wearer while assisting them at the same time.
 * He wears a para-detector on his back. If a being he's after comes up behind him or is otherwise where he can't see it, this detector will light up more indicators as he closes in on it. At short distances it will begin making a light alarm noise to signal danger.

Faults and Weaknesses
Dr. Paranormal utterly lacks defensive abilities or durability present in most Freaks. If without his equipment he's left a frightened and under-equipped human.

He lacks the means to do any significant damage to Freaks that aren't demonic or otherwise supernatural in-nature, and even when they are he frequently lacks the conviction or physical/mental ability required to properly combat them.
