[Call of Cthulhu] Character Concepts
This is for the three of my players to chat about character concepts with me and with each other. My requirements:
1. Reasonably in-period. The game will be set in 1889, in London, in the previously mentioned neighborhood. Nearby things of note are the Imperial Gas Works, two churches, the Great Eastern Station for the rails, and a workhouse in the poor area of the neighborhood. It can also be assumed that there's a local alehouse, a nearby brothel of some dubious sort, a gaming hall, and various shops and markets.
2. Connected characters. I'd like, if possible, for you three to come up with characters that know and at least tolerate each other, and can work together. If you can't work it out, I can work with that, but some familiarity at the first will probably work in your favor.
Other than that, have fun. Play around with concepts...I'll give whatever feedback you want, and then we'll get together on Saminga for rules explanation and campaign talk sometime in the next few days.

*ponders* If you need, I'm now picturing the slightly-useless and indulgent gentleman (perhaps a petty nobleman -- there's always a spare Baronet or three to be found in 19th Century London) who publishes the Woman in Red's work under his name...

Of course, there's also the route of that old flick where Watson was the real brain and Holmes was actually a hired actor...
