She's a bohemian and joining discussions in the Fellowship is an alternative enough activity to fit perfectly with her favoured idiom. I can also see her getting a lot out of the nocturnal sojourns the group eventually graduate to when discussions alone no longer satisfy their desire for paranormal intrigue and excitement. Somehow her whole character just slots neatly into the premise (not to detract in any way from anyone else's character, just that hers answers the initial premise very nicely).Lucean has come up with a cool skeptic angle for the Doctor, though this may or may not be something Lucean wants other players to know in-character as I'm sure he has plans to explore the idea in-game. I think, as far as the other PCs are concerned, the Doctor's there because this stuff really interests him. I might be wrong and he might be completely open about his intentions. One for Lucean to confirm or correct as appropriate.I think Adam's occult library is likely his dial-in to the group. He may even be the one who set the whole thing up! He's certainly eccentric enough to come up with an idea like that.While Sam's overall  background is the most detailed of all, I think she still lacks the best motivation with regard to the basic premise of the Fellowship. I just don't see her joining a club like this. In fact, I see her actively avoiding it, though she'd likely maintain contact with Adam because she and he have that intriguing past.I don't recall stating that players needed to provide a 'place in the group'. That would insinuate meta-gaming and I'm deadly opposed to such things. If you're referring to Lucean's character as a skeptic, well, two skeptics in a four strong group of paranormal enthusiasts *does* seem like a contradiction in terms. Things could be altered I suppose, depending on how strongly Kook feels about Sam being a non-believer. We could have a  group of four who met at the bar and just sort of drifted into conversation over beer and chips, two discovering they shared an interest in the strange and paranormal, two discovering that they're both skeptics for different reasons and the group forming that way. Their discussions have become a sort of tradition each week and now the believers want to prove the skeptics wrong by taking them to find evidence, or maybe the skeptics want to take the believers to some Arkham site of wierdness in order to show them there are no such things as spooks. That might work and would perhaps rationalise their getting together better than the forming of some kind of club through word of mouth, newspaper ads and so on.What does everyone think of that idea?</blockquote>
