[Godot]

Name: Vincent Cohen
Age: 20
Profession: University Student
Timeline: 2020
Skills:

1. Sensitive Hearing: Vincent can often hear more than he should, which may or may not be a bad thing given his situation.
2. Athletic: Forced to participate in extra sports in his youth, Vincent even won a few track and field cups which he has on display in his apartment.
3. Well Educated: Vincent is not ultra intelligent, but he definitely knows more than the average student.
4. Overcoming: Vincent will try to overcome anything and everything, as long as it keeps him going.

Personality: Vincent is a quiet, smart and athletic university student, not too keen on making new friends or being social and outgoing, yet whenever he's around the right people, he feels comfortable enough to be himself. He's got a fair share of friends in his own little circle and he is happy enough with them around. Not having a successful love life during high school and university, he decided to put it aside and focus on living his life, doing what makes him happy. Vincent can make a good friend if you really get to know him, but if not, he remains a stranger to everyone.
Background: Vincent grew up in a strict family, always being bossed around by his older sister and his father, ever since he started attending elementary school. During those years, he got used to this life, but it definitely wasn't a simple task to overcome. Nearing his young adulthood, he was sent out by his parents to live alone in a cheap but good apartment, being close to the university he goes to. He didn't mind. In fact, he liked the freedom of not having to listen to his father's every order and the bickering of his older sister. Now that the pandemic has set in, Vincent is forced to remain inside and attend classes using his laptop, as well as keep all communication online, which he doesn't mind.

Derek displays a certain level of experience that makes the younger soldiers look up to him... but also hold a great deal of cynicism that makes him appear standoffish. The truth is, he stopped fighting for his flag and his country a long time ago. Now he fought for the soldiers around him.

Derek fought his way through Africa, Italy, landed in Normandy and fought his way through France.

Rommel, Kesselring, Stűlpnagel, Kitzinger, and now Weidling one thing the Nazi commanders all had in common was arrogance. But the closer we got to Berlin, the harder the fighting got.

Derek was recently demoted from platoon sergeant when his CO ordered their men to charge a machine gun nest. Only Derek returned and he assaulted his CO. Under normal conditions, Derek would have been court martialed and sent to prison... but in lieu of both his service and the extreme circumstances. Command decided to demote and reassign him instead.

[Jholdono]

Name: Francis Clarke

Age: 32

Profession: Detective

Time Era: 1920s

Skills:

1. Heightened Senses: Being a detective for several years now has trained Francis to keep his wits about him, and hone in all five of his senses (touch, taste, smell, hearing and seeing).

2. Gut Instinct: You don't make it long in the seedy underworld of 1920s America as a law enforcement officer without two things - street smarts and gut instincts. No situation goes by the book, and a lot of times demands what some might call a "sixth sense". In conjunction with Heightened Senses, Francis has an almost premonition-like feeling about many of the situations he faces - and it has saved his skin more times than he would like to recall...

3. Firearms Proficiency: Francis carries his Colt Detective Special chambered in .38 Special everywhere he goes - never leaving home (or the hotel room) without it. In addition to his high accuracy and proficiency with his trusty revolver, he also retains a high proficiency with other firearms (rifles and shotguns).

Personality: Quiet, calm, cool, and collected - Francis has taken to a more solitary lifestyle. His line of work allows him to be sociable when he needs to be, despite the solitary nature of detective work while out on the streets. He can work with a team, depending on the individuals that compose it. However, much of his life's work has seen him operate by himself - chasing down leads, catching a murder suspect, and the long days and nights in which he would travel the country to find his quarry and bring them to the light of the law. 

Background: Growing up in Chicago, Il in the early 20th century can be a death sentence for anyone. You either carve out a life of squalor, following your old man's footsteps and working yourself to the bone for pennies a day at one of the various steel refineries or in construction work; or fall into the dangerous life of crime smuggling hooch, dealing drugs, robbing banks - hey, the sky's the limit!

Francis, however, chose a different path - one not chosen by many who lived there. Choosing the life of a detective, he had hoped would improve the living conditions for all in Chicago by cleaning up the city and putting an end to the crime spree. But the seeds of corruption had not only taken root in the heart of Chicago - they flourished and stretched out far to the coastlines of America and beyond. During an investigation for a murder, his primary suspect seems to have left a trail of breadcrumbs for Francis to follow - leading to a small town in Oregon...

Name: Randall Scott
Age: 35 (1923)
Sex: Male
Profession: Doctor
Time era: 1920s

Current sanity: 100!

 

Skills:
Drive Automobile: Anyone with this skill can drive a car or light truck, make ordinary maneuvers, and cope with ordinary vehicle problems. If the investigator wants to lose a pursuer or trail someone, both participants might attempt Driving rolls until one fails and the other succeeds. Dangerous maneuvers always call for Drive rolls.

Medicine: The user diagnoses and treats accidents, injuries, diseases, poisonings, etc., and makes public health recommendations. If an era has no good treatment for a malady, the effort is limited, uncertain, or inconclusive. Failure in application requires that the user wait some amount of time to try again, but another practitioner could make his or her attempt in the next round.

Pharmacy: The user recognizes, compounds, and perhaps dispenses a wide variety of drugs and potions, natural and man-made, and understands side effects and contra-indications. He or she has a good practical knowledge of poisons and antidotes, and can use Pharmacy as a first-aid skill in cases of poisoning. The skill grants no ability to diagnose diseases nor the right to prescribe medicines.

Psychology: A skill common to all humans, it allows the user to study an individual and form an idea of his or her motives and character. In general, the keeper will make the rolls for this skill and keep the results secret, announcing only the information, true or false, that the user gained by employing it. Players should not expect that this skill penetrates skillful deceit unless the person’s confidence somehow has been shaken.

 

Personality:

He has a no-nonsense personality and is not one for idle chatter. He does not believe in the so called occult and considers testimonies of such things to be mass delusions and psychosis born from over-imaginative minds. He does not blame those with mental deficiencies because he believes that man cannot be faulted for how they were born. In Randall's opinion the blame lies with the father that impregnated the woman, and the woman that gave birth. Randall is not shy about making it clear he believes that not everyone should be allowed to have children.

Background: Born in Ridge Cliff and a proud graduate from Bedlam university, Randal continued his higher learning at the local hospital and later transferred to work at the Ravenmore Asylum. Showing a high work ethic he quickly gained acumen and respect from his peers.
