[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2514368, member: 26473"] [B]Dallas4lr[/B], I'm sorry, but I'm starting to get a little leery of your character concept. Too much Mythos knowledge among the investigators takes away from the sense of discovery and associated horror that comes from encountering Mythos creatures and effects for the first time. It seems to me that the whole adventure, at least from where I sit, is about discovery, both geographical and metaphysical (or mythophysical, if you prefer). Also, it's starting to seem a little forced - he was a scientist who became a priest, but now he wants to go on an expedition to the antarctic? Why? Because of his prior experience with the Mythos. It begins with the assumption that the expedition will encounter Mythos creatures, which strikes me as a bit metagamey. You've created an interesting character, but it seems to me that his experiences and ability put him in a different league than everyone else, which makes him hard to mesh with the rest of the investigators. Please explain to me why my concerns are unfounded. [/QUOTE]
