Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lucean" data-source="post: 4248181" data-attributes="member: 67223">Doctor Phillip LeGraid continuedI decided to alter slightly my approach in giving the background here. In the first part of the background I posted I tried to give out information one might learn of my character through little investigation or talking with the right people. Not that any of the PC's would, but it was supposed to be information easily learned. I however understood that such information would be difficult to get from his days abroad, so I'm kind of skipping it here. I'll send the background to GM through email, but here I thought I'd rather post how he appears, what kind of a family he has and what is known of him in the town if anyone bothers ask around. I hope that's alright, thought it might make it easier to decide how to deal with the character.Phillip himself is a frail looking man in his mid-thirties. By appearance he has many traits associated with the french-rooted people in New Orleans. His hair completely black, his eyes a darker shade of grey and his complexion slightly darker than normal. A plain looking man, Phillip is always dressed with formal style, favouring cotton or wool coats and pants with dress shirts with the collar always pulled up. His right leg is completely busted, he cannot bend it at all, and he requires the cane to walk. At times one can see hints of scarring at the side of his neck or at the back of his right wrist, both times seeming to continue towards the back. He is utterly devoted to his wife and children.Phillip's family in Arkham consists of his German wife Elsa and his 6-year old twin children Charlene and Mathias. Elsa is a quite striking woman also in her mid-thirties, being almost taller than Phillip with long blond hair and shallow blue eyes. She has already managed to acquire a few assignments in translating some books and letters, being fluent in six languages and understanding a few more. Their children take after both parents in differing parts, with Charlotte having dark hair and blue eyes and Mathias blond hair and grey eyes. Both are active, happy and all around normal children.The family arrived in Arkham only a few months ago, moving straight in to the rich district. Due to their status as outsiders and foreigners, there are several rumors and whispers about them. Most of them are somehow related to the following facts:-Elsa is German, who knows far too many languages than she should and who should be far above Phillip's class. Who knows what are the true reasons behind that marriage?-Phillip was in Europe for the last few years, acting as a doctor when the Second World War waged on.-There is no way they should have afforded the house they currently reside in, they do not pay that well to the doctors serving in the Red Cross. Several rumors float concerning this, some claiming that Elsa brought with her some treasures they sold to pay for the house or that they carried the spoils of war back home, robbed by the good doctor from his suffering patients. The rich are more willing to spread these stories, resentful for these new residents. More reliable sources tell that the house was bought by lawyers, with no one agreeing who had hired them.-The doctor himself is said to be extremely professional with his patients and an excellent doctor. From time to time they however say his stare will be distant and that what he witnessed during his travels around the world, especially in Europe, have left it's mark on him.-All however agree that the family does at least seem to be very loving when together and they have already made some friends in the area. It is supposedly an old friend of the doctor who got him the job at Arkham in the first place.As I said, I hope this format is alright with everyone. If not, just let me know and I'll post more detailed accounts of Phillip's times overseas.</blockquote>
