Since this RPG may have elemets of Lovecraft in it, I was doing some quick reviewing.
The some types of traditional Lovecraft style protagonists that is currently missing in the lineup we have here include the Professor, Scholar, or Medical Doctor.
Another is the Dreamer/Dream Walker.
A third is the writer, author, poet.
If anyone else is thinking of joining and is looking for inspiration, here are some to consider.

Gonna give everyone another day and a half to square away what they can. Gonna try and set a start time for late saturday since I know a few others are still working on bios.s
If you aren't ready by then thats no problem, keep working on your Bio and we can fit your character in a little later.
To recap, we have one declared (but not yet posted) character from Eternal Torment (yet to be posted) and one (presumably) incomplete character, here:
Which combined with the 15 already on the list makes for a prospective cast of 17.
So far, we have the following for initial plot hooks:
Which people have (as of this moment) chosen as follows (based off information stolen from grampagen here and updated*):
- Survivor
- Selma
- Sigourney
- Lucifer
- Criminal
- Matthias
- Jagrati
- Xia
- Omu
- Arxiros
- Jacob
- Citizen
- Levin
- Owen
- Kinu
- Morgen
- ??? (Undecided)
- Kaiser
- Irriana
- CHAYAASHNI
- Barrabas Slynt? Nangong Jin? Someone else? No one else? It is a mystery to all- save one.

Did some more work on my character bio, pretty sure this is the final version. Had to split it into two posts, put a link to Part 2 on the profile on Page 1.
Basically did what I was thinking, changing Light Burst to Transfiguration Central (the version where everything she makes lasts a few minutes), gave her what is called "Street Combat" (which is pretty much using blades, guns, and clubs to fight with a preference toward knives, pistols, and bats) as well as knowledge in "Battlefield Medicine" (she can remove bullets, cauterize/sew up wounds, splint broken limbs, etc). You'll survive her procedures, the end result just won't be pretty and leave scars.
Also, her only anesthesia for patients is a swig of street liquor, which is also the antiseptic and used as makeshift paint remover.

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

Tonight I'll take another look at Matthias' bio to see if I can improve it

Fair. I'm just thinking about it because Barrabas would be the tanky kind of guy. He and Jin both focus on Body, but Mr. S would be reinforcing his body with ki. Chalk the weird grey skin and face to intense training methods to make his physical form hardier than normal while he has a more rushdown kind of fighting style. Meanwhile, Jin's the more evasive type, doesn't bulldoze his way through conversations or fights like Barrabas. I'd say it'd be more wuxia-like with him using soft weapons and using his fingers to sub for a blade when using ki swordsmanship techniques.
Nah, good on you for helping us along, keeping everyone on the same page.
These games always have a lot of moving parts to keep track of.
Wuxia ridiculousness?
Perish the thought.
...though yeah, wondering if there's enough of a twist to separate one of Eternal Torment's dudes from Fan Xia?
Just dropping in to formally announce my withdrawal from the game.
As noted in the first line of my profile page, my interest in these things is always fleeting and, in perhaps record time, my interest in playing has left me.
Enjoy the game everyone, good luck with running it Sandy.
Feel to NPC Jagrati if you think that would be useful or if someone else wants to play her, feel free to approach me.
