Character Creation
Remember you have 20 investigative points and 65 general ability points.
If you choose a language, please let me know what you're choosing and I'll try to work it into the storyline.
I'm going to play with Sources of Stability a little differently and instead of having them be people (since it's an isolated game), I'm going to have them be coping strategies your character can use to regain a point of stability. Thus the lower your Stability, the fewer your options to regain them. This could involve bickering, alcohol, drug abuse, flirting / romantic entanglements, cups of tea and comfort food, talking it over, sitting and avoiding people, picking a physical fight or asserting your dominance. Please place these in spoiler buttons.
Please also give me in spoiler buttons (I can add them into your post if you don't know how, if you PM them to me), what your character is currently dreading in their lives (i.e. exams, family reconciliation, breaking off an engagement), what your character is looking forward to (i.e. shopping in Ashford, birthday party in a week), what irrational fear your character holds (i.e. spiders, darkness, enclosed spaces, heights) and why your character is heading north to Ashford or beyond.
If your character doesn't fit into the occupations listed in the book, please let me know. For those whose occupational ability is all about accessing information from external parties, don't worry, I'm going to use memories to help make it worth your while. Oh, you have just what you need back at the shop? Well your experience with that item leads you to believe that…. You can only use that ability once in this
adventure.
