Generating starting perks...

BD, Tower of Will: You tend to isolate yourself from traumatic events in the past, keeping them out of your mind by sheer will. (The duration of malicious sanity based effects is one-quarter of normal.)
Serious, Endless Patience: Two kids, a teaching position, and years of drudging through mindless busywork have given you an extraordinary amount of patience. (You will never lose sanity or suffer skill maladies from Endless tedium, mindlessly complex busywork, or repeated failures.)
Micelus, Worn Mind: You're accustomed to the worse things in life, getting rejecting for what you want, being the victim of racism, losing a spouse, and not getting a life with your children in it. (All sanity damage against you is halved)
Ahra, Tough: Your life wasn't exactly a stellar example of a healthy living environment, but hell, it means that you could take a punch in gut better than most. (Endure is treated as twenty points higher when being hit with an unarmed or blunt attack)

Does anyone wish to re-roll their perk or shall I move on?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Nah, I'm good. Sorry, I don't know where I got 15 instead of 10 at. ^^^;

[Bdthemag]

Okay, I think I fixed it. Don't know what went wrong there...

Oh and the Perk looks good Draig.

[Ahra]

im fine with my perk 

[micelus]

Mine's good.

[scriver]

Here is the revised sheet, removed all attribute bonuses (but still included the profession and age bonus in acronyms, like Serious C), corrected some numbers, added a little to the biography and corrected my large amount of spelling mistakes.

I still have a question about the Oration skill (not included on the sheet) - I get points in it just from my attribute bonuses (and with my child perk it gets quite high against adults), would I still get to keep it despite not having any actual skill points invested in it?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Charlotte Novák
Health: 25/25
Sanity: 70/70
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Physical Description: A rather slender child with short-cut, brown hair and dour demeanour, Charlotte gives off a tom-boyish vibe. She has a few small scars in her face, and old cigarette-burns on her hands.
Profession: Child
Relationship Status: None
Children: None
Biography: Charlotte doesn't remember much from her early childhood, but she has knows that she was taken from her single-parent mother at age 5 on grounds of child abuse and neglect. Since then, she has been placed in a few foster homes, but her hostile behaviour towards her adoptive family has resulted in her ending up back at the orphanage again every time. She spent her time learning how to hide and escape, having run away several times during her stay there, though she was unable to stay hidden in Arkham for very long and brought back.

As a person, Charlotte is fiercely independent. She doesn't trust others, and wants to take care of herself, often to the point of misjudging what she is actually capable of, being that she is still just a child. She is stubborn, and has no qualms stealing from other people, or using people's sympathy or trust in her for her own ends, and for such a young age, she has become quite skilled in invoking either feeling in people around her.

Yes you get to keep the bonus, it'll still be an effective skill of 40 even without additional investment.


Bdthemag your character sheet is still wrong. 1. Remember that skills start at -10. 2. If you want to make things easier then don't factor in your profession bonus, I can do that manually if you need it.


While BD is getting hisself sorted... Well I guess there isn't that much else to get sorted before we begin. I'm going to go with the surprise method of starting items and your starting locations will be based off your profession and bio.  Ah, it would be helpful if each of you could pick a color, this is simply something that I'm going to use to designate you vague location on the map with. If you don't pick I'll assign you one randomly.

Guess I'll be green then. Also, do you mind if I have Brooks's house be on the corner where Lich Street meets S. Garrison Street? He doesn't have to start there, but I just thought I'd ask.

That's fine, less than a block away from the university so I was going to put you in that general area anyway. Though if you've been examining the map you will have noticed something else interesting as well...

[SeriousConcentrate]

Do you mean the noted locations like the Bookstore? Or is it something else?

ALSO EDIT: Reanimate your feet. That is all.

[Draignean]

Erk. No. I can't remove those, part of the initial map layer. They'll get worked in somewhere. Something else.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm. I tried zooming out all the way and don't see anything. Is it that Innsmouth is nearby (northeast road out)? I remember there being an excellent Call of Cthulu Xbox game (never played it, unfortunately) set in Innsmouth. Anyway that's all I'm going to ask, I'll let other people have a go at guessing and if they all fail too I guess we'll be surprised at the reveal. ^^^

[Bdthemag]

Okay I think I got the character sheet right this time, hopefully.

[Draignean]

You still have 380 points assigned when you should have 360 points assigned. I'll add your Profession back in when you cut the 20 points out.

While we're still waiting... I'm having second thoughts about the timeframe, specifically I'm wondering if I should move it further back or simply give up and declare Anachronism stew and give a general time bracket?

Hell the only reason I picked 1982 was because of a single astrological event.

[Bdthemag]

I honestly prefer the 1930's, because then we can run around with tommy guns and revolvers.

EDIT: Okay, it should be fixed. If its not, then I am a complete and utter idiot.
