Thanks!

I've settled on the retired hit man. Meet Eric Stone.

High Concept: Retired Shadowy Killer of the Underworld
Eric Stone was one of the best assassins in the country. His name is a legend, and a byword for oncoming death. But he's been out of the trade for a couple years now.

Trouble: I Hate What I've Become
Stone has killed men, women, children and dogs. If it walks or crawls on the Earth, he's probably killed it. And it started to break him. The final straw was when he was hired to kill a prostitute to keep her from talking to the police about a high ranking mob boss. Unbeknownst to him the hooker was a White Court Vampire. Still, he couldn't do it, and vanished from the underworld, vowing he wouldn't take up a gun again.

Phase One, Where did you come from: Gun Fu Master
Stone grew up in the streets of Atlanta, a thug who found a gun and the means to make himself a name. He had killed several people in robberies before he was eighteen, and caught the eye of a hit man named Marco Windberg. Windberg took Stone on as an apprentice of sorts, and taught him how to be a contract killer. Stone's talent with firearms far exceeded Windberg's, and he soon broke away from him to make his own way.

@gnomius,@JoshuaMabry sounds very promising

@JoshuaMabry what is your retired hit do nowadays ?

@gnomius why your wizard decided to come to Atlanta ?

He is a professional gambler, so he realized he had more opportunities to make a living in the States, where the gambling laws are more permissive (I don't have a clue if this is actually true). Also, he had too many debts with dangerous people in England, so he thought it might be wise to put an ocean between him and his creditors. ;-)

This is still a work in progress, as I'm working through the "Background" aspect, which brings me to my next question: are you using the 5 Phases as per the book, with 5 additional Aspects on top of High Concept and Trouble?

(also, please remember I need you to paste the template in the character sheet to start filling all this info in)

Thanks!!

@flopflop122 Are you still interested, I do not see any post from you.

Cool, just feel free to introduce me when you want, then, and I'll be filling the sheet in parallel. :-)

Stone tends to keep to himself. He has an expensive apartment in a well to do neighborhood (still haven't done my research on Atlanta). There's a diner he frequents at the same time every night, and he's friendly with the staff there. By and large he spends his time alone, reading and living comfortably.

Sorry, that won't do, it will be difficult to integrate your character in the story, I need a more active role.

At least he needs to be able to help someone to find someone else, may be it is a friend or may be to pass time he became a private eye ? Or anything else that would allow me to investigate on a disappearance. (I'va started that way with the player that disappeared and it will mean redo everything)
Jul 8, 2022 9:12 pm
Do you already know who's disappeared? Maybe it's one of his friends from the diner.
Jul 9, 2022 11:22 am
It can very well be, it's sold then..
Jul 9, 2022 12:49 pm
May I suggest that we have the game tread it the root of this forum? Easier to find and navigate to.
And we get it going soon ;)

Don't wait - move the story forward. As both @huttyman and I don't really have any idear how to go on. He found a letter and tried to follow that clue but hit a brick wall. At this moment there are no real avenues of investigation to follow

Yeah, I mean we stuck there for 1-2 days and you are recruiting more players. So I thought you wanna wait?

At least you could write something like "the employee looks at you with no clue" or something to cue us that game still running and you still need us to input something.

And as you can see we are still active in this forum not missing at all

I know, I know, and if I did not say anything during these few day it was indeed because I was recruiting new players. Now I set the motion back in place. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have responded that way it was not very nice and may be a tad provocative; it was by no mean my intention, I wrote to fast for I was in a hurry.

And I know you are not missing, the only one I was asking about is @flopflop122 who has accepted the invitation but never sent any message.

@gnomius Is by the "book club" you mean our supernatural stuff? (incase you assume that we all know the code)
