Call of Cthulhu: Horror on the Orient Express [Seeking One Character]

[PhantomPistoleer]

Here's our nurse!  She was very young during the Great War and saw some horrible things, including some things she convinced herself that she actually didn't see.  Please take a look and let me know your thoughts and any edits to make.  I can also provide the backstory I've mentally sketched out for her also.  Thank you!

Wow, she is awesome!  I like how everyone just has guns. :)

Anyways, I created an OOC so as to quit bumping this thread in the Players Wanted section.  I will post a Character Sheet thread shortly.

The OOC thread.

Ha!  I gave her gun since she's a single woman traveling alone, you know?  It seems like the kind of thing that fits the time.  She's not that good with it though.  She prefers a rifle for hunting like her Papa taught her. : )

Are you going to link the OOC here?

I edited it in the above post.  Sorry for doing you like that!

Ha ha!  No worries!  I'm excited for this!

I may tinker with this character a little and will add possessions.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Hi! 

I would like to have one more character.  A player who expressed interest sadly dropped out.

[Snowball]

I'd like to express interest, though I would need to make my character tomorrow. It's really late for me right now. Would you be interested in a priest with some repressed desires?

That's the best sort of priest!  Sure.

[Snowball]

Here you go! Let me know what you think. Should I DM you backstory or post it somewhere?

Yeah, I usually hash things out with you in PMs.

As for your sheet, I will need to review it.

[PhantomPistoleer]

I think you ought to change track with something like library use and move points away from Psychology.

[Snowball]

Sure, I could do that. I did want to make him good at reading people - but I understand if it infringes on our good doctor's niche.

You could be at 40%, and still be considered “good at it.”  70% is, like, an expert.
