Cool!. Philulhu, how are your stats coming?

I tried using the Dholes House but I’m having problems adding the organised crime option. I’ll try again and if I can’t get it to work I’ll just have to manage without.

Appearance & Personality:

Alex was born and brought up in Bremen, one of the Hanseatic trade ports in northern Germany. He left school at 14 and, like his father and brothers before him, went to work at the docks, loading and unloading cargoes from home and abroad.

He managed to avoid being called to the front during the world war by a combination of his reserved occupation and a hefty bribe to a local doctor who certified that he was unfit for service. Besides, he was involved in the black market and wasn’t wiling to give up that source of income in a hurry.

Politically, Alex could leaned to the left. He could see that the war was being fought for capitalist and imperialist interests and wanted no part of it. As the war dragged on, he got more involved with protests and strikes and the establishment of the local Council Republic, as a fixer and someone willing to fight for what he saw was right.

Things came to a head when the Freikorps violently destroyed the Council Republic. In retaliation, one of the Freikorps commanders was murdered and although Alex swore he had been nowhere near the murder scene, his name was linked with the killing. Deciding that Bremen had become too hot for him, he was smuggled out of the city for his own safety.

A friend of a friend found him somewhere to live and a job in Berlin, which is why he now works at Cafe Braun. The increase in popularity of the right wing politicians and their followers worries him, however, and he is wondering if it is time to move on again.

Alex is 5’ 9’’ tall and of average build. He has sandy-blonde hair which is thinning slightly at the crown, and blue eyes. He has a scar along the line of his jaw on the right side of his face, sustained in a street battle. He wears a short, neatly-trimmed beard to hide it.

He rents a small apartment (little more than a bed-sitting room) in the Wedding district of Berlin, a traditionally socialist area. He has been seeing Lisle, a shop girl who works on the Ku’damm for a few months, although sneaking her in and out with the block warden finding out is becoming more and more difficult.

Alex wears his father’s pocket watch on a chain, tucked into his waistcoat pocket. His father was a terse and tough, but fair, and the watch is a reminder of that for Alex. He also carries a knuckleduster, just in case he gets into a situation he can’t talk himself out of.

Bonus Points (70) in history and library use, something else instilled by his father.

Great! I think we're ready to start.
