I'a! I'a! I'a!

Hello all CoC keepers and players. I'm new here and am eager to begin playing the game that I've always been fascinated with since I got my first book by HP Lovecraft and discovered that an rpg existed based off his work.

I do have a character, though, that I am really proud of that I've been playing for a long time and would enjoy playing him here in this forum, but I can play other characters as well.

The character's name is Patrick Mason, a renowned parapsychologist. He can be played both in the 1920's and the modern day. I've played him since I started and would like to stick with him as he is indeed my first CoC investigator. Oh, and he's 6th ed.

Here's his stats. My avatar is basically what I believe he looks like.

Name: Patrick Mason
Age: 24
Gender: M
Occupation: Parapsycologist
College/Degree(s): Yale University/Master's in Psychology
Birthplace: Maine, USA
Yearly Income & Property: $225,000 (partially through inheritance) & owns Walterbrook Manor (inherit from his late uncle)
Personality and Appearance and Background: A rather handsome man, Mason grew interested in the occult and the different worlds which nobody can see during his later years in Yale. He keeps his face clean-shaven, his black hair combed well, but is usually hidden under a fedora hat. He wears a long trenchcoat, usually unbuttoned, revealing the different amulets he keeps on his person. Anything from pentacles to crucifixes hang from his neck. He is usually the life of any party, loving automobiles and chatting with folks about different things he has learned in the past years. His father, Jonathon Mason, is actually a manic depressive and his mother, Diana Mason, is deceased from a mysterious illness. He is an only child, and his father didn't help in his upbringing because it was after his mother's death when he became manic depressive. Patrick was only seven years of age. Patrick still remains quite active, enjoying outdoor activities along with his occupation. Driving cars is also a hobby of his. He stands at 6' 4", weighing approximately 185 lbs. His charm is what has got him into strange buildings in which most folk would forbid anyone to go in so he may investigate the happenings. He has a slight fear of spiders. Not so much that he goes crazy when he sees them, but enough he will avoid them as much as possible. The man's religion (if any) is unknown.

Please, any comments? Questions? Games without a parapsychologist?

[Laraqua]

Hey, you still around?

[ralazere]

Yes, I am actually.

[welsh]

Actually I am kind of in need for a character to play a private investigator... can you wing it? We might have to make some changes to character.

[ralazere]

I probably can. Though, Mason is now playing in Last Express right now as his usual parapsychologist self.

[Laraqua]

Though now he speaks a little French.

[ralazere]

Heh, of course he does.
