You might consider taking something like Mastadonian Physique or similar to reflect your Cro-Manon construction; as is, you wanted to be the tough guy but don't actually have anything that makes you hard to knock out.Still, sounds really good -- have fun, good luck, and let us know how it goes!Edit: the mustache, PI License, and block-of-ice could both form good aspects too. ::shrug:: <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />None of them are necessary, but having connections in the Police Department could definitely be aided by something like "Private Investigator ID of my mustache" or "License to Chill" or some other terrible portmanteau of a pun.Similarly, I often advise picking at least one "normal" person as an aspect so that you always have someone to come home to, and the DM (who is going to make you miserable anyway) has to pay you to kidnap the NPC you care about. Picking a detective as an aspect could be a useful connection, or failing that, picking an arctic explorer or something.</blockquote>
