So, am I to create this character up and submit it? I don't see the submit button.

Meaningful location 1d10
Treasured Possession 1d10

The incident really shook Larry to his core. He fixed the ledgers and turned it in, saying his farewells after collecting money from his last two runs, he bought a couple handguns and lots of ammo. He trained at the range daily while trying to get his private investigators license. Larry has decided with all of his "connections" he could do well for himself as a P.I. and he really wants to learn more about that crazy stuff that went down. He will take any jobs, but prefers ones doing with the occult. He got rid of his nice home and traded it for an office with an apartment above it. If money gets tight, he figures he can rent the apartment and live in his office. He has contacted his "friend" the book dealer and tries to read as much as he can on the strange and unusually. He usually carries a double shoulder holster now, on his left side is a Colt M1917 revolver and under his right side is a special one holding the obsidian knife from the incident. In his boot concealed is a small .380 pistol.

One comment before I tackle the rest, you only got one of the knives. The other was taken by the police as evidence. Thankfully they've not come to question you about them...yet.

Ideology: Science has all the answers. Pick a particular aspect of
interest (e.g. evolution, cryogenics, space exploration).
Meaningful person Grandparent (e.g. maternal grandmother, paternal
grandfather). - Roll d10 to see why significant
Location: The grave of a significant person. Who? (e.g. a parent, a child, a lover)
Treasured possession : A weapon (e.g. service revolver, your old hunting
rifle, the hidden knife in your boot).
Trait: A good reputation (e.g. the best after-dinner speaker
in the country, the most pious of men, fearless in the
face of danger).
You can take or leave any or all of these, but you need one element of your background that's your key, something, someone or somewhere you can use to centre yourself.

Larry gets out of the dodgy dealings with a fair chunk of change (see character sheet for funds)
The guns cost $30 each. ammo is $39 for 50. Amend your notes according
Due to your change of career, you have to tighten your belt while your potential PI business takes off. Decrease Credit rating by 1d10

As for your gun training, roll against your skill. Roll higher to gain 1d10 points.

Note that you have Gardiner's dream diary and the phial of white powder (unidentified), if you want to do anything with those (Read/consume, sell, giveaway)
Feb 25, 2017 11:34 pm
I've amended your cash according to your new situation. Assets remain the same (now invested in part in your new offices)

I'd like to figure out what the white powder is, and read through the diary.
Treasured possession : A weapon, the obsidian knife.

You wish to prove yourself better than them. What

Powder is cocaine
[ +- ] Dream Journal
Gardiner's journal
Sanity loss 1
Give me an Occult roll.
Skill increase for reading :Occult +2
Here is a record of the dreams Gardiner had
been experiencing while under the influence of
the entity. An initial reading (skimming) takes
about five minutes and reveals that Gardiner had
an obsession with returning to a place called the
"Dreamlands." He was frustrated that he seemed
no longer able to travel to this place while asleep.
Entry after entry is filled with frustration or simply
reads, "No dreams again." Then, towards the end
of the journal, there are numerous descriptions of
vivid dreams where Gardiner talks about meeting
a "powerful being" who has promised him a
path into the land of dream if certain rituals are
performed. In addition, Gardiner describes how
his dreams make a text he calls "the Tome" more
understandable.

OK just need to choose the background elements and add them to your background and indicate which is your Key element (the thing that centres you ( used for sanity recovery)
Feb 28, 2017 8:05 am
You can also use this key element during downtime for 'self help' . If you'd like to do that , describe what you're doing. it's simply a Sanity roll. As you are using your key connection ( you are able to do this without it but for the first time and as a demonstration of the system, you are using it this time) you get to roll the 'tens' twice, so roll d100 and an additional d10 and take the best results.

The key element is he knife. I hate to do it, but what popped into my mind was that he uses it to cut himself in hidden areas and it soothes his soul... some.

Hmm, I don't have a problem with that, though it goes against the grain a little. The knife was sold to Gardiner, which suggests Larry doesn't have much of a connection with it, at least prior to him letting it go. The self harm also suggests some level of insanity that we haven't quite reached yet!
The grave of your grandparent might be better, somewhere you visit to relieve stress. Of course, there's nothing to say that as time goes by this can't change and the self harm can be incorporated?

How about the last place he and his grandfather spent time together? He would go down to the river by a small water runoff from a canal, like a waterfall and sit and listen to the water and think about the many fish he caught here with his grandpa?
Mar 4, 2017 7:43 pm
Sure! The dice indicated a grave of a loved one was a significant place but you can make it whatever you like!
Mar 5, 2017 7:45 pm
Oh.. and his Grandfather was cremated and his ashes are buried in this location!
