Wow! Nice response.
One change in character building. Hit points are normally (Con + Siz) / 2 but I want yall to be a little more resilant so use Size + Con/3. So if you had a Con a 15 and Size of 12. You would have 17 hit points.
I know some of yall have started to make characters. You can roll your ability scores and then place them as you wish. I will give you two rerolls to use as well.
A nice website for a character portrait is Silent Ladies & Gents

As for a character background, I want everyone to know Jackson Elias, a writer. You can also have characters know or be friends with each other as you wish.
Here is what you know about Jackson Elias.
Jackson Elias is 38, of medium height and build, and dark-complexioned. He has a feisty, friendly air about him and, as an orphan in Stratford, Connecticut, he learned to make his own way early in life. He has no living relatives, and no permanent address.
You like him, and value his friendship, even though months and sometimes years separate one meeting from the next. You’d be upset and probably crave vengeance if anything happened to your friend. The world is better for having Jackson Elias in it.
His writings characterize and analyze death cults. His best-known book is Sons of Death, exposing modern-day Thuggees in India. He speaks several languages fluently and is constantly traveling. He is social, and enjoys an occasional drink. He smokes a pipe. Elias is tough, stable, and punctual, unafraid of brawls or officials. He is mostly self-educated. His well-researched works always seem to reflect first-hand experience. He is secretive and never discusses a project until he has a final draft in hand.
All of his books illustrate how cults manipulate the fears of their followers. A skeptic, Elias has never found proof of supernatural powers, magic, or dark gods. Insanity and feelings of inadequacy characterize death cultists, feelings for which they compensate by slaughtering innocents to make themselves feel powerful or chosen. Cults draw the weak-minded, though cult leaders are usually clever and manipulative. When fear of a cult stops, the cult vanishes.
•Skulls Along the River (1910)—exposes headhunter cult in Amazon basin.
•Masters of the Black Arts (1912)—surveys supposed sorcerous cults throughout history.
•The Way of Terror (1913)—analyzes systematization of fear through cult organization; warmly reviewed by George Sorel.
•The Smoking Heart (1915)—first half discusses historical Mayan death cults. Second half instances present-day Central American death cults.
•Sons of Death (1918)—modern-day Thuggees; Elias infiltrated the cult and wrote a book about it.
•Witch Cults of England (1920)—summarizes covens in nine English counties; interviews practicing English witches; Rebecca West thought some of the material trivial and overworked.
•The Black Power (1921)—expands upon The Way of Terror; includes interviews with several anonymous cult leaders.
All of these books are published by Prospero Press of New York City, and all were edited by owner/editor Jonah Kensington. Kensington is a good friend of Jackson Elias, and knows you well

You mean instead of (CON+SIZE)*1/2 , you give us (CON+SIZE)*2/3 right? For what you typed it would seem like instead of (CON+SIZE)*1/2 , you give us (CON+SIZE)*1/3

Alright, edited my sheet to reflect the changes. Also, would like to use melee weapons, but in the skill selections I didn't saw them. Was thinking on using an axe; reflecting the traditional french axe throwing practice. If that's too much, a swordcane or anything else would suit good ol' doctor. I need to know the base skill for any of them, I just assumed it would be similar to the handguns.

The official character sheet (which should be in the back of your book) has base skills for many common weapons; I'm sure the GM can figure something out if the weapon you want isn't listed.
