I'm doing a campaign right now and I'm playing a Crooked. Their name is Kip and they're a huge arsonist friend and I love them.

Is this in the rpg Monster of The Week?
That's what I'm talking about.

Ok, I've only got to play a little, but I've had a mundane name Alyza Montgomery. She had a collapsible sled hammer and a motorcycle. She was blood relives with half the party and a friend to the other half. She was the lone island of normality in a sea of weird and crazy.

If we had gotten to continue the game, my plans were for her to become the chosen one picking up where her older brother left off. Although she'll only go down that path kicking and screaming, because if she accepts she was destined to be the chosen. Then her bother died for nothing. She would rather be ordinary if it meant her big brother is remembered as a hero.

Nice! We just did the set up for Kip, my baby.
They were hitchhiking to Vegas and got drugged. They woke up in a bathtub filled with ice and the man who picked them up was muttering shit about saving them for last. They managed to escape but then got stuck in an elevator. Kip managed to get out of the room and run down the elevator. They then proceded to see a man fall off the roof with a carbon copy of him made of goop.

That sounds really interesting, Did he check for his kidneys?

I'm ashamed to say I won't get to play much Monster of the Week for a while. I can't find anyone wanting to run it. I know it's not quite the same, but recently I've been running a system Called Kult: Divinity Lost. It's basically Monster of the Week's big brother. It a horror TTRGP meaning the stakes are more life and death, but almost any monster can be bargained with. Also, the themes can be mature if that the sorry the group wants to tell. That being said any member (Including the narrator) can veto a theme that was introduced if it crosses a line.

So far my group has been loving it. They have had to deal with the Black-Eyed Children, seal a notebook from a Lechtor, and are about to start their assault on a creature called the Child Collector. I have one character being haunted by a ghost type thing, one who is indebted to a witch, another who's trying to work their way up into the angelic higher archy, and the last one started out as crazy is the lest messed up now.

We also have a revolving cast of characters that pop in and out of the story: A lawyer with a secret to hide, A brawler always looking over their shoder, and attention staved YouTuber

Nice!

Ahhhh yes, MOTW! I'm part of a campaign that has had one session so far, and my character is a Professional named Clara Carlile. It's modern day, but she still insists on just being a cowgirl.
She works for a monster hunting agency and her boss gets mad that she refuses to wear her uniform, but she's good enough at her job that he's not quite willing to actually do anything about it.
