DESCRIPTION: Fox Mulder is a graduate of Oxford University, where he majored in psychology. This background made him an ideal candidate into the FBI. Once through the academy, Mulder proved to be very effective at profiling serial killers, a talent which his training in psychology greatly aided. Mulder is among the FBI's top detectives and investigators. His obsession with the paranormal and supernatural earned him the nickname "Spooky" while at the academy. This obsession began when Mulder was only 12 years old, when his sister Samantha disappeared. After therapy in regressive hypnotism, Mulder has become convinced that his sister was abducted by aliens. Mulder's expertise in the paranormal spans the range of UFO sightings, psychic powers, and creatures of the supernatural. His experience with the X-Files has expanded his knowledge in these areas, but it is clear his interest in the paranormal began in earnest long before this assignment. Mulder is very passionate about his work with the X-Files. He has learned to ignore the remarks and ridicule of his fellow agents, and at times enjoys a laugh at his own expense. Since Scully has been assigned to the X-Files, Mulder has developed a strong friendship with her. This friendship also shows signs of physical attraction, but this is probably due in part to the close proximity in which the two work together. QUOTES: "Maybe what you can explain to me, is why its bureau policy to label these cases as unexplained phenomenon and ignore them." "Now, when convention and science offer us no answers, might we not finally turn to the fantastic for plausibility?" "The government knows about it and I've got to know what they're protecting. Nothing else matters to me and this is the closest I have ever been." TOTAL POINTS: Attributes: +70 Advantages: +121 - 127 Disadvantages: -71 Quirks: -5 Skills: +48 =========== Total 163 - 167
