[b]Basic information:[/b] Name: Harold Campbell Age: 49 Profession: Mechanic. Owns and operates his own repair shop, assisted by his two oldest sons. Useful skills: [list] [*] auto repair: He has a natural aptitude for understanding machinery. Most of his work is with automobiles, but when more relevant experts are unavailable or too costly he occasionally secures work on boats and industrial machinery. [*] driving: An amateur racing driver in his younger days, Harold has experience keeping the cars of the day in one piece and moving forward even at high velocity, and in less-than-perfect driving conditions. [*] modest ability with firearms: cultural familiarity, as he grew up in the rural South. Some hunting and trapshooting experience with rifles but no serious firearms training and scant experience with pistols. [*] conversation: friendly and likes to talk. Tries to resolve conflicts verbally. [/list] Unskilled in: [list] [*] combat (esp. hand-to-hand): Harold is a small guy, and he learned long ago not to rely on his fists to solve problems. No brawling or melee weapon experience. [*] managing responsibilities: Somewhat childish in this regard, Harold tends to shirk responsibilities, especially with regards to finances. His auto-repair business is suffering for this reason, although continued demand for his services is keeping the place afloat for now. [*] conflict resolution: Harold is nonconfrontational in most circumstances. Additionally, despite his outgoing nature he is not especially persuasive. [*] athletics: Not a fast or long-distance runner, not especially strong, has mild chronic foot pain that precludes vigorous exertion.

His skin is brown and leathery, and his hands and arms bear the scars of a tradesman: the pedigree of decades spent repairing automobiles. He feels lucky to have retained all of his fingers through years of accidents large and small, but residual pain from a crushed foot ten years ago gives him trouble in the mornings and on cold days. His hair is not yet gray, but it will be soon. He is a smoker. [b]Personality:[/b] He is naturally gregarious and enjoys the interpersonal as well as the technical aspects of his work. A hardscrabble life has made him cautious, but he is often less suspicious of strangers than would be wise. He avoids conflict whenever possible. He treasures his family above all else, but his inability to manage money and frequent disinclination to discipline his children has led to resentment between him and his wife Louise. Harold holds hard work to be the highest of virtues, and he is proud that all of his children held jobs from a young age. He is moderately religious. Technology fascinates him, and he spends his little free time tinkering with various mechanical projects, but the rapid technological progress in the modern world is beginning to outpace and concern him. Harold prefers to believe that most people are fundamentally good, despite numerous disappointments and cases to the contrary over the years. Likes: People, tinkering, giving advice, going to church, FDR, listening to the radio Dislikes: Responsibility, dealing with finances, interpersonal conflict Fears: old age, the crumbling of his marriage, vulnerability, going to the dentist Aspirations/goals: To see his children live a more prosperous life than his own; to open a second auto shop; to buy his own tow truck Family: [list] [*] wife Louise (48) [*] sons Walter (28), Roy (26), Edward (19) [*] daughters Dorothy (25), Josephine (20), Mary (11) [/list] Mental state: Normal [b]Equipment list:[/b] [list] [*] pack of cigarettes [*] lighter [*] pair of heavy-duty workman's gloves [*] Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless pistol, issue year 1905, fully loaded with 8 .32 ACP rounds [*] 30 spare .32 ACP rounds [*] deerskin jacket, sturdy but well-loved [*] small notebook and pencil [*] miniature copy of the New Testament, King James version.
