[QUOTE="Fanog, post: 780280, member: 10680"] I first thought about making a crazed mathematician, think John Nash ([i]A Beautiful Mind[/i]) meets Max Cohen ([i]Pi[/i]). He might want to join the expedition due to something that the previous expedition found, something that is very interesting for his 'new theory'. He definately is a bit unstable to start with, don't know if you could fit this concept in or if it's a bit too much for this CoC campaign. Alternatively, I might like to try a pilot, someone from an old noble family, who was cast out because he joined the army in the war. All the more tragic because he never really got to act in the war, make a 'difference'. His life has been uneventful since then, and he has been wallowing in selfpity. Now, he feels that he is growing older and that his body will soon fail him. He realizes that he only has [i]one[/i] more chance to make a name for himself, achieve something and thus take revenge on his family for casting him out. He's willing to take risk in order to make an accomplishment, for this is his last chance. He's not in for the glory, but for his personal self-worth (think severe midlife crisis, combined with a grudge against his family). While typing this, the pilot seems to get much more well-rounded than the mathematician, I think he'll offer more opportunities for RP. I'll switch preferences. I'll go for the pilot, keep the mathematician as back-up in case you're not happy with him. Fickle me. :p Fanog EDIT: clarified a little bit. [/QUOTE]
