Let it settle for a while in your own head and come back to it after a gap. The Great Gatsby is a good basis for ideas, though chronologically it's set two decades prior to our game. Some of the themes about war would still slot neatly into place, and the characters are quite generic I feel; they'd fit comfortably anywhere within that 20 year timeline with a bit of tweaking.I thought of some more ideas to inspire potential players:Jazz musician or singer/croonerOwner of a gunshop (some interesting possibilities here <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)Romance or pulp novelist (maybe looking for inspiration in the Witching Hour group?)Taxidermist (not actually my idea, but a character played by someone in my last CoC game)Stream of consciousness follow-on: taxi driver, or train driverFactory worker (investigators don't have to  be glamorous!)WWI veteran, now retired, soldierEncyclopedia salesman</blockquote>
