1899 - Under the Sign of the Lock and Feather

Found Hugo :)

Since I don't want to clutter the main thread with discussion, please find my response:

* Skill specialty for Alchemy is something we'll work out; let's at least wait and see if someone will be taking the bait of being your mentor, which might fill in the blank for you; otherwise we'll find another solution.

* You listed Carpentry under both Physical and Mental skills. Since I consider this a Physical, please think of another use of the Mental skill point this gives you.

Looking good, besides that. Size 6, as previously discussed, is agreed. According to the nWOD rulebook, this makes you as tall as a gorilla, which turns out not to be that big, really. Turn one 90° clockwise, however, and now we're talking. About up to 9 feet :S
If we translate this to human proportions, let's say you're about 7 foot and a couple of inches tall, which would be bloody huge by 19th century standards.

Damn, I fixed that before, but I used an older source for the post. I'll change it to something else when I have the time.

BTW, a friend linked me to a nice text-based online game. The setting seems to be somewhat similar to this, so you might want to try it to get the feeling for the victorian London ambience.

Edit: The more I see of the game, the more I think it's probably not so close to what we've got here, but it's intriguing nevertheless. Also, it seems it would be better for me if I linked you through my profile, since it's in part that kind of game. It doesn't seem to hinge on bothering everybody to join at least, I hope it won't come later in the game, but so far it looks like an almost single-player experience.

LuckyDee:
@Klear, sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

@thelaptop, good start, looks promising. Now to flesh it out some more.... what makes Frank tick? What's he trying to get out of life? What has he been doing?
If he was born into money, his specialties may stem from hobbies and pastimes; if not, he's bound to have had a job or two. Based on your story, the latter sounds more fitting.

I'm curious as to how you arrived at two points of Survival though. The scope of this skill, according to the book, runs from pitching a tent to Gryllsian depravities, which at the moment don't quite add up to the rest of the picture painted. Maybe you interpreted the skill differently though.

thelaptop:
Ah, where are you getting such detailed information from?  I don't really have "the book" and I don't think that you linked to something that detailed.  I'm basing it on what I thought to be an interpretation from the Wiki.

I understand, hence my inquiry. But please do give your interpretation, so I have an idea of what you're aiming for.
