[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 1974843, member: 835"] Hrothgar, yeah, I was assuming we knew nothing of any DG involvement, if any. Just an idea I was throwing out there in case Gomez wanted to go with it - it would just bring us to their attention. Here's a start on my character: Solomon Peter Brown Male Detective/FBI recruit (defense option) 6 Height: 6' 2'' Weight: 231 lbs Hair: Dark Brown Eyes: Dark Brown Age: 35 Str: 12 (+1) [4 points] Dex: 16 (+2) [8 points,+1 level] Con: 10 (+0) [2 points] Int: 14 (+2) [6 points] Wis: 12 (+1) [4 points] Cha: 12 (+1) [4 points] Hit Dice: 6d6 HP: 26 AC: 16 (+2 Dex,+3 level) Init: +3 (+3 Dex) Speed: 30ft Current Sanity: 60 Max Sanity: 99 20% sanity: 12 Saves Fortitude: +2 [+2 base] Reflex: +8 [+5 base, +3 Dex] Will: +6 [+5 base, +1 Wis] BAB: +3 MAB: +4 RAB: +6 [indent]Skills - 90 Skill Points (8+2/Level 40 @ 1st) Class: 11 Bluff 8(Cha +1, Persuasive +2) 12 Drive 9(Dex +3) Switched from Open Locks, if allowed. 10 Gather Information 9(Cha +1) 08 Hide 5(Dex +3) 12 Intimidate 9(Cha +1, Persuasive +2) 06 Knowledge (Local: Philadelphia) 4(Int+2) 09 Knowledge (Street Smarts) 7(Int +2) 08 Listen 7(Wis +1) 07 Move Silently 4(Dex +3) 11 Search 9(Int +2) 10 Sense Motive 9(Wis +1) 09 Spot 8(Wis +1) Cross Class: 03 Speak Other Language (Spanish) 1 (Int +2) [/indent] Feats: WP/Pistol (1st) Point Blank Shot (1st) Precise Shot (3rd) Persuasive (6th) Languages: English (native) Spanish (3) Equipment: Savings - x$24,000 Yearly income - x$40,000. Appearance: Solomon is a tall, well-built, medium skinned black with somewhat handsome features . He is clean shaven, and wears no jewelry. The impression of his wedding band is still visible on his left ring finger, but a year after the divorce it is starting to fade. Solomon wears fashionable clothing and shoes, and always carries a pack of cigarettes or two.

He hates the Redskins, just like his father did), and religion, probably in that order. Background: Solomon was born in Philadelphia to an almost middle class family. His mom stayed home with him and his two brothers, and his dad was beat cop in the 39th Patrol district.
