Character Concepts

Splendid, a vacation in Scotland, just the ticket. Let us begin with a short boat trip and take in some of the fresh, sea air.
Call of Cthulhu in 1920s Scotland, first scenario ‘The Ballad of Bass Rock’.

Do we use the rolls in the order used, or can we shift them around taking into account minimum scores such as at least 6 EDU, 8 SIZE and such?

I was wondering, though my character does not live in Scotland anymore, he passed years studying there and even lived with his ex-wife for a few years on a house. Can he still own a small house or a apartment in Scotland?

As they come. In other words in the order rolled.

I see no reason why you shouldn't, however it would only be a small place not a huge penthouse apartment in the most expensive area of Edinburgh.

Ok I'd like to play a female character, and if she's on holiday in Scotland I'm thinking she's got to come from a wealthy family. So maybe the younger daughter of a minor English aristo based in London, who's spending some time in Scotland while she figures out what to do with her life. Maybe make her a dabbler in photography or something like that, with ideas of possibly going into producing pictures for magazines. If she can get away with that given what her family might think. How does that sound?

Sounds good. Two female characters? Well I must say that will be a first for me as a keeper. ;)

If she moves in London circles, she might know Robert Parkhurst, he's quite active, present and endowed.

Sorry Priest, I never saw this and moved my stats around a bit ... do you want me to redo the character either using the rolls as they were done or new rolls? Jumping in with both tentacles again.

Nah. He's okay, no attempt at megabuilding or you might have changed the APP score. As has been said before (by you I think) we are all adults here. ;)
