[@Odysseus], thanks for the heads-up. Would be stuck with trying to scan in old family photos otherwise. [hider=W.I.P.?] Basics Name: Amanda Smith Nickname/title: A. Smith; "The Journalist" Gender: Female Age: 28 Build/physicality: Not particularly muscular though still solid-looking. She couldn't last long in a fistfight, but she could probably get away from the fistfight with incredible speed. Appearance: [url=https://twistedsifter.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/vintage-female-mug-shots-1.jpg?w=800&h=588]Linked due to size.[/url] Background Psychological status: A touch of general anxiety, largely untreated. Quirks, ticks, conditions, sensitivities to the paranormal: Magical potential: Yes, albeit low; don't expect her to be hurling fireballs. Personality: Hometown: Baltimore, MD Education: Basic education; did not complete high school due to a need to support her family. Occupation: Journalist for "Arkham Sun" (placeholder name until otherwise informed by GM of local papers) Achievements: Sexuality: Apparently disinterested Marital status: Single Family status: Mother deceased, father alive and employed, younger brother alive and in high school. Biographical writeup: Miscellaneous information Belongings Combative: N/A Noncombative: A few memo pads, pencils and pens, a pair of reading glasses, a few books on American history, a typewriter, four brass candlestick holders and several tallow candles, and a charm from one man she interviewed that supposedly wards off evil spirits (its actual effectiveness is unknown though it's nailed into the wall anyhow and cannot be removed without assistance). Other information (optional): Theme song (optional):[/hider] ETA: So extra thoughts (and one reason I wanted to do this early). 1) "Quirks, ticks, conditions, sensitivities to the paranormal:" - do you mean physical conditions (e.g. asthma)? What would sensitivities to the paranormal entail? 2) What counts as combative, aside from guns? Pocketknives? Explosives? 3) How much is allowed for noncombative inventory? Are items at home supposed to be included?
