Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness [OCC]

[Byrons_Ghost]

Ex-jazz lounge singer who married some rich old man, was tried for his bloody murder but acquited.

I see someone else has seen Chicago. Sounds cool!

For my character, I'm thinking journalist. Sort of a globe-trotting type, writes travelogues, reports on hotspots, that sort of thing. He's going to have a semi tough-guy, Hemmingway thing going for him. He's going with the expedition as a press liason, writer/ photographer, and because he has some arctic/mountineering experience.

Who knows... I may get a story hour journal going if I think I can get up the gumption...

Kitana, I love the jazz singer/possible black widow angle. Starkweather is just going to LOVE your character! Maybe this could be a possible publicity stunt to help launch a movie career? She has money now she wants FAME!

lol yeah I'm really starting to like her myself. She sounds really unique.

Ok! the black widow it is!

she's got tons of money, she wants to spend it - try and ingratiate herself with the upperclass - but that's not happening so she's thrown herself in different things after another to escape boredom.

The last expedition findings interest her, she loves publicity, and she does want to start a movie career - and restart her singing career. So what the hell, give them the money, tag along, get some glory - should be easy right?

Maybe then those pesky newspapers will give her a better nickname than - the black widow? At least she doesn't have to buy them out and try and get them print good stuff about her. And the old man's annoying children will quit trying to get their lawyers to take back HER money...

She'll takes along a journalist, a photographer and possibly an assistant to keep a record of the trip and of her of course. God what a woman...good luck everyone dealing with this diva.

Drugs, jazz, drink and smoke, baby...

Light me up...I'm ready to take a stroll down 5th Ave.

lol haven't seen the film yet, but I WANT TO (and I'm listening to the music from it right now)! hehe. Great Gatsby comes to mind mostly for me.

want to be my journalist honey? *winks*

 

[KitanaVorr]

hey I got an even better idea

Maybe she needs to be unreachable by the children's lawyers for a certain period of time - so she goes on this expedition that her ex-husband financed, wrangling her way in at the last minute because if they don't, she's pulling the funding.

Kitana, you interested in a middle-aged Personal Assistant or chauffeur, who was in the military once, and is used to not being in the spotlights (and who might like to join you on this expedition for a little bit of his own reasons? )

Hey I can always use an all purpose assistant/chauffeur/bodyguard

Speaking of Chicago the film...I think I do like the name Roxie Hart for her - sort of conveys her personality well

I really like the Black Widow idea and the fact that she has to escape her step children by going on the expedition is really cool.

BTW, I didn't see that you were thinking of a character who was a daredevil or thrillseeker like I made until after I posted. So sorry if you wanted to go that way. I never meant to step on your toes.

LOL don't worry about it.

I like the black widow - she sounds like alot of fun...and a pain in the butt too...hehe....

 

[The Forsaken One]

I'll go with the archeologist then

 

[Shapermc]

Oh heck! Its ok to know the story but I was just wanting those who don't know the story to learn it fresh. (Spoiler alert) The story is can be found and read kinda like a mythos tome in the campaign. But really its no big woop!

Well I will go ahead and give my character a few points of Cthulhu Mythos right off the bat then if you don't mind
