Message: <blockquote data-quote="Einan" data-source="post: 2988101" data-attributes="member: 29893">Sam Hardwick, Religion and Sociology ProfessorSam has spent the last few summers and winter breaks living with the Padanaram commune, a group who believes that the end of the world is nigh and man must be ready to live through the troubles that will follow.  He's never been much of a woodsy type, but living in the commune with meager comforts has toughened up a bit and given him a few skills, mostly in survival and hunting.  He's not a survivalist (yet) but he's taken the first step down that path.  After this experience, he's now retreated to a small cabin to write his book, an academic study of the beliefs of the cult and its implications on the social structure of the commune.  He's a bit worried about what the cult will think of him when it's published, but since he'd vowed to himself to be brutally honest, he has no choice but to write the truth as he sees it. Sam is single, having divorced his first wife after they grew apart during his long dissertation writing and PhD candidacy.  He's dated a few people, but none seriously.  He's five foot eight, one hundred seventy five pounds with greying brown hair and a trimmed beard.  He usually wears jeans and simple shirts with a leather jacket.  He tends toward talking too much on obscure subjects and can be charming when he really tries.  He doesn't often try.  He prefers to let others judge him as he is, rather than how he seems.[sblock]Primary Stats: Intelligence 2, Wits 3, Resolve 3Secondary Stats: Strength 2, Dexterity 2, Stamina 3Tertiary Stats: Presence 2, Manipulation 1, Composure 3Skills:Primary: SocialAnimal Ken 1, Empathy 1, Expression 2, Persuasion (Logic) 4, Socialize 2, Subterfuge 1Secondary: MentalAcademics (office politics) 3, Investigation 2, Occult (Cults and Beliefs) 2Tertiary: PhysicalAthletics 1, Drive 1, Firearms 1, Survival 2Derived StatsHealth = 8 (size + stamina)Will power = 6  (Resolve + Composure)Size = 5 (Human)Defense = 2 (Dexterity + Wits + Size)Initiative Mod = 5 (Dexterity + Composure)Merits: Additional Ability 2 ptsEncyclopedic Knowledge 4 ptsDirection Sense 1 pt[/sblock]EinanSorry this took so long.  I just picked up Dies the Fire and I dig it so far.  Let the End Begin!</blockquote>
