Heh, after reading the IC thread I see what you mean. We did only fight two monsters during the entire game I played before, and one of them only appeared due to my character's triggerhappyness. (poor pcychotic hobo turned zombie)
I'm not really good at subtle creativity, and all the obvious choices are covered. I'm not to good with early ninties english history. I had a premade character in my other game.
What if I played a professor of eastern history? It could be a good reason to have experience with some sort of martial art, while at the same time not being completely rediculous. See, I really have no idea what is a good idea for this game, I'm just happy for the chance to play. I would be happy with a premade character.
Well, my proposal is some sort of history professor, since it seems the others are all intelectuals and I actually quite like history. It seems like a combat focused character isn't going to do well in this game.
As a quick and easy way into the game I could perhaps already be a member of the audience, and happened to be curious enough to stick around.
