Can you confirm if this is the proper way I should be creating my character?

I haven’t watched the video yet but for rolling stats can I decide where each stat goes or do I just place them in the order in which they are rolled?
Dec 29, 2017 4:16 am
So according to the video I roll and place them in order but the quick start guide shows a predetermined array. Which do you prefer?
Dec 29, 2017 4:22 am
So, yeah, are we chatting about characters, first? Or are we going to create and bring them to the game by ourselves?
Dec 29, 2017 4:27 am
I’m game for whatever. Brand new to this game system.
I’m gonna go ahead and just follow the quick start guide and use the stat array. But as far as character back stories I am wide open for ideas.

I'm down to be siblings! I think I'd like to play a driver. Perhaps my character (and yours?) is the son of a bootlegger and so learned how to drive real fast cars and took that skill to the track when demand for that skill set waned. He was probably just old enough to start driving for dad when Prohibition ended and so didn't ever actually get to do the job.
As to why I'm going along in this case, I think we're probably inseparable, whether we like it or not. One of us is a friend of the college, perhaps? What do you think?

That sounds like fun. I was looking at taking the engineers occupation. I could perhaps be an electric engineering teacher for the university. But not a full professor but respected in the field. I could be the "good" younger brother that stuck to the books while the older brother drove cars and picked up women instead of being concerned with going to school.
Even though we are different we still have a tight bond and I learned how to fight from being beaten up by you when we were young.
Thoughts?

Making my rolls for Characteristics.

So that gives me...
3d6: 70, 65, 75, 70, 40
2d6+6: 75, 60, 70
Luck: 65
EDU gets no improvement.

I'd like to use the Occupation "Get-Away Driver" from the Pulp Cthulhu book, if that's OK. I've attached a photo of it for reference if you don't have access to it.
Jan 3, 2018 5:16 am
Got everything done except for weapons and gear. My character has a hod rod type car as his key background connection, given to him by dad as a reward. If that's not appropriate for your game, I can come up with something else. It just made the most sense for who the character is.
Jan 11, 2018 1:41 am
Hi guys. Thanks for letting me in your game, lunitar. I am new to these forums (this will be my first game) and I have played only a little bit of CoC but I love the system. I will work on making my character! Look forward to playing with you guys.
Jan 11, 2018 1:31 pm
I'm very excited for the game.
I'm trying to decide on my character's occupation. I was thinking author, works at the university as a teacher or something. But I was also thinking just some shmuck that gets caught up in it all. Like a janitor.

Can one of you guys tell me, do I need to have a character finished in order to add him to this game or can I edit things after?
Jan 15, 2018 11:26 pm
Your character sheet doesn't get locked when you apply it to a game. So, it's possible to edit it after it's accepted into the game.

I submitted my investigator :-) Howard Mellon is a Professor of the Humanities (that is if Archaeology, anthropology, and psychology fall in that field). He is the son of a successful investment banker, but the father/son relationship has been strained ever since Howard dedicated his life to academic study instead of following in his father's footsteps.

I still need to work out my equipment.
Lunitar, I picked up the pump 12ga shotgun, is that ok? I figure my dude is probably hunter. He wouldn't have it with him everywhere, obviously. If this starts in the university, he defo wouldn't have it on his person.

I've made some progress, but I am furiously under-experienced at building Cthulu characters. I played this game once 12-16 years ago. I think someone else made my character.
I will need help with everything that isn't on that one-pager. I have an old rule book, but i think it was like 4th edition or something.

You can also pick items that would be on you/ taken with you too. As long as it is reasonable, no light sabers, it should be fine.
Also very good to add description and background for easier checking into when I am mobile. I will work on everything, and should start soon, maybe get the introduction up this weekend.

I was just going over my character and I saw something I forgot to mention. I have a significant NPC in my background. The GM gets to pick who it was. The thing that binds us is: We were in a car crash together and they almost died. I was driving.

Think I'll be going with a good ol' local police officer in his mid-late 20s. Loves his wife very much, thinking about maybe starting up a family soon.
Concerned about this odd dig that's kept on runnin' into trouble. Then suddenly this group of unfamiliar strangers come ridin' in but don't show their faces in town. At least, that's what Greg said he saw.
How's that? Also, how big would the police department be? Would Ari Fishmen be the only officer in town? One of two? Three? Ten?

OK, got it. I am going to play a "Genie" Genevieve Kasper. Genie is a dilettante and a student at the university. Her parents luckily are rich and she has lived a life of idle indulgences to this point, but she's always been a bit of a tom boy. Genie isn't exactly pretty (40 App being less than average) and her build (size 80, Str 65, Dex 70) make her something of an oddity among women. However, her parents' money has left her with the ability to do as she pleases. Her older brother James Henry Kasper II is the heir, so there is little pressure on Genie to settle down and marry, but she was thinking she might do just that. One of the students on working on the Roanoke site was courting Genie. Now he's disappeared and Genie wants answers.
I'm not sure if her presence is official in any capacity...probably not. Her parents won't care to much unless they learn how dangerous things can be.

How do you handle starting equipment? I guess the question really boils down to the level of minutia you want to adhere to? As a wealthy young woman, Genie would have a good amount of clothing at her disposal. She isn't a girly-girl as stated, but she's rich and used to a certain level of comfort. Is is good enough to just say she has a steamer trunk or two of clothing, as well as a reasonable amount of other more practical gear and weapons? She came out looking for her boyfriend, not strapped to go to war with the outer realms.

I'd say, she isn't thinking to be out too long, not like an expedition. So probably like a suitcase of clothes and some weapons, but probably not geared to the gills. I'd choose a few weapons, and add them to her sheet.
