Background:
Having grown up on stories of heroism and daring from the great war, John decided to follow in the time honoured family tradition of being a Soldier.

Unfortunately for John's family, John decided that it'd be more glamourous to be a pilot in the airforce instead of following the family tradition of being an officer in the Army.  After many rows with his father it was agreed that John would be sent to America to attend University, this would accomplish too purposes; 

Firstly John's indiscretions were less likely to become common rumour around the London Aristocracy if he was in America.

Secondly, John's father who is a shrewd business man, saw the value of John becoming acquainted with the well to do in American society, as this could only help his fathers planned business expansions into America.

Thus John attended [insert name] University and soon made fast friends with the other characters


Personality:
John is a well educated likeable rogue of a man, on the surface John's appears to be a well educated charming man, but if you scratch too far beneath the surface you'll soon discover a shallow hedonistic man, who's primary motivations in life are 'fun & adventure'.

While John is never intentionally cruel or thoughtless, John's attention is soon diverted to the next interesting or adventurous activity or person, thus it's no surprise that John leaves behind him  a string of broken hearts and promises where ever he goes.

To John, every moment of life is a grand adventure that should be enjoyed to it's fullest.

Despite his faults John is a fun person to be around, as he is outgoing and full of life, and when John's focus is on you, it seems like your the centre of the world.


Appearance:
John is a very handsome well proportioned young man who stands 6' tall, John has raven black hair, merry green eyes and lightly tanned skin.

John is always well dressed and when not wearing his formal pilots uniform, he is dressed in the latest fashions.

BACKGROUND: Antonio was born in Messina in 1897, third of 7 sons. His family was relatively rich, and he was intelligent enough to be allowed to continue his studies, despite the ruinous earthquake that hit the town in 1908. After taking the high school diploma in Palermo, in 1914, he met Rachel Small, a 23 year old painter, and her family. They fell in love, and after the blessing of his father, he decided to move to the U.S.A. with the Smalls in January 1915. The Smalls lived in Cambridge, close enough to Arkham to allow Antonio to enroll to the local university, and taking a degree in Mathematics in 1919. He was fascinated by the misteries of prime numbers and to the new paths of mathematical explorations opened 50 years before by Riemann, a German mathematician who demonstrated how different parts of the mathematic universe are related.

After the graduation, Antonio married Rachel, and moved back to Cambridge, to help the Smalls with their farms. He was sorry to leave Arkham and the college, but Colin, Rachel's sister, died in the Great War, and he felt that it was his responsability to take care of the family, and act like their son. He kept in contact with some close friends of his college years, but he generally withdrew from the academic scene, and concentrated on play his accountant and devoted step son role. His interest on mathematics was only fostered by some numerology occult books in the Smalls library, that he read in his spare time. In 1921, Rachel gave birth to her only child, Lucy.

Everything seemed to be destined to be quiet and serene, but the Black Friday changed all that. Mr Small committed suidice after loosing the great majority of his money, and Rachel, for the great psychological strain, fell ill. Her mother had died when she was only 3, and she had formed a special bond with her father.
After two years of continuous cures and medical cares, she finally passed away six months ago, leaving Antonio and Lucy as the only remaining Smalls.

Antonio, battered and maimed by the loss, decided to try and find some shelther in Maths, the only thing remaining. It was true that he had kept in touch with his familty, too, but after more than 15 years, his relatives were little more than distant memories and images. He managed to be accepted for a PhD post at Arkham for the following year, and decided to sell the farm and move to Arkham with Lucy, living with the money.


PERSONALITY: Antonio used to be a happy and loud italian, in his youth. The recent sufferings have turned him into a silent, melancholic and sad man. He doesn't speak too much, and he doesn't care for making new friends, even if, when approached, he tries his best to be nice. He relises that he will be older than the other PhD students at the university, but he is determined to finish his degree and, eventually, getting a place as reader at the Arkham University. That would allow him to concentrate on the demonstration of the famous Riemann hypothesis on the function Z, that will shed firther light on prime numbers. He thinks that this task is the most important in the history of Maths, and he is determined to complete it.
He loves Lucy profoundly, but he understands that he is not in the position of giving her all the attention and the cures that she needs. For this reason, he is eager to speak with father James Cromwell to see if he could find a respectable and loving girl to marry, so that she could take care of Lucy (and of him, too).
Politics are unimportant for him, but he is profoundly religious and a good roman catholic.
Antonio's english is quite good, but his italian accent is still quite thick. Sometimes he can't help to comment out of the ordinary news or views in italian.

LOOKS: Despite keeping his italian family name, Antonio was deeply in love with Rachel. He is still wearing black, somber clothes. In official circumstances, he wears a black suit and a hat. Normally, he is happy to wear his country clothes (as far as they are black or dark brown) and his coppola (a present of his father, when he left sicily).
His complexion is healthy, and a bit tanned. He loved to have long walks in the country, before Rachel died. He didn't have the time afterwards.
He wears round glasses and a thick pair of moustaches.

Harold has always been bookish. He was always the "smart" one. But he was athletic enough and certainly adventurous enough that he was never ostracized for it. He went to college and found a remarkable aptitude for linguistics. Rather than major in it, he used his skills to become even better at his first love, archeology. He has become a relatively well known archeologist from his small Miskatonic University office and is consulted by many for his wide linguistic knowledge as well as his versitility on more esoteric and eccletic subjects.

Harold is an intellectual, with all the good and bad that comes with it. But he isn't snobbish, and intercts well with his students and the peoples he visits on his travels. He is a curious man and thinks that the pursuit of knowledge is worth suffering for, as he has shown on serveal trips where his enthusiasm lead to broken bones. He has never married, instead devoting his life to his work. He has a close group of friends though, that he goes to the pub with and plays cribbage.


Harold looks like a university professor. He sticks out in a crowd to that degree. Relatively tall and actually gangly, he is always seen wearing his favourite green courdory jacket, smoking a pipe and usually, his nose in a book. His auburn hair is still full, though graying at the temples. This is at leats how his student know him. He dons rugged boots, pants and a brown cotton-duck jacket for his daily hikes in the hills behind campus as well as when he is out in the field.

Lord Raven, I'm sorry, but I only want four players right now. I can put you on the waiting list if you like. Just post and I will do so.

Everyone else, take until Friday night to finish your characters. I'll review them then, and if everything is okay, I'll start the first post on Saturday.
