Ow, 6 roll, not good I suppose. Although that fits in with my character history.

My character is a petty thief from East Boston, a mugger and a 2nd story man. Brother was in WW1 so there may be a connection there. His name is Roderick Mason.

I roll a 2.

If I can make it to the 28th, I'll be playing Rufus Hornbeam, an artist (painter & sculptor). I haven't decided where he comes from yet, but I think Rufus is flexible and goes wherever his artistic talent (or opium addiction) takes him.

And I rolled a 5.

So this is what I have so far. The random rolls determined some extra skill enhancements that you might have, and determined your relationship to the addiction that you have. You can choose opium, heroin, or morphine each individually, or I can assign it to you.

• All of you begin addicted to opium, morphine, or heroin as an indefinite insanity.

Towards the end of the Great War, Col. Beauregard was wounded in action. He was unable to get far enough away from a thrown back Mills bomb, which severely injured his left leg and has caused him psychological distress in the form of shell shock. It will not come as a surprise that he found himself a morphine addict, taking the drug to cope with the pains of his disfigured leg and the trauma of his shell shock.

• Theodore Wentworth, 37, Merchant Marine. Originally from Newport, RI. Got a job on the docks at a young age which led to signing up for the merchant navy and spending most of his time on trade ships to South America and the Far East. At the outbreak of WWI he volunteered to run men and supplies to France, shipping injured troops to the US on the return run. After the end of the conflict he went back to trade ships. In one stop over in Shanghai he had some trouble with a local 'criminal' group. Trapped in a burning slum, he received bad burns to the face and arms trying to escape, hence APP of 8. At this time he became addicted to opium REASON TBA!!!! Handy in a knife fight though.

Character to follow v shortly )

Sweet, that plays very well into the character I had planned.

So, my character is Col. Grant Beauregard from Macon, GA. He is a retired US Army colonel and a veteran of both the Spanish-American war and the Great War (making him 59 years old). Towards the end of the Great War, Col. Beauregard was wounded in action. He was unable to get far enough away from a thrown back Mills bomb, which severely injured his left leg and has caused him psychological distress in the form of shell shock. It will not come as a surprise that he found himself a morphine addict, taking the drug to cope with the pains of his disfigured leg and the trauma of his shell shock.

OK so here is what I have,

Theodore Wentworth, 37, Merchant Marine. Originally from Newport, RI. Got a job on the docks at a young age which led to signing up for the merchant navy and spending most of his time on trade ships to South America and the Far East. At the outbreak of WWI he volunteered to run men and supplies to France, shipping injured troops to the US on the return run. After the end of the conflict he went back to trade ships. In one stop over in Shanghai he had some trouble with a local 'criminal' group (details TBA) Trapped in a burning slum, he received bad burns to the face and arms trying to escape (hence APP of 8). At this time he became addicted to opium REASON TBA!!!! Handy in a knife fight though

Keeper Murph,

The injury was just an idea, I can re-edit depending on how you want my addiction to work.

Nope sounds good. Don't go into too much detail on the gang I have a perfect tie in for it.

Gentleman. I need some email addys please.
