Serpent's Snag-A Supernatural Western

Always down for a Western setting. Is this a "real world" game with a history that lines up with our own (with a few supernaturals thrown in), or is this a completely alternate universe?

My love of excessive character sheets strikes again!

@Kuroakuma

Uh ... yeah.

I actually have other things I've hoped to accomplish in this life, so I need to drop out.

It's been fun. Peace.

@Kuroakuma Thanks much. Can I swap to a different character when the Dean is found horribly murdered?

Interested. I'll play the Dean is no one else has dibs.

Ianus Congreatio: Secrets and paranormal mysteries of Prague

I am intrigued. Alas, I am not as familiar with Prague as I'd like to be. Is there anything I could read to prep myself?

The Corvin Daughters: A Horror of Female Spirits.

Interested. How are you envisioning this? Would it be a modern paranormal investigation, an old occult detective style investigation, or something else?

Dark Space ~ A Cosmic Horror of Exploration and Survival (Open)

Intrigued. Let me give this a shot.

Dr. Maria Mitchell Astrena

Name: Maria Mitchell Astrena

Biological Age: 41

Nationality: Second Lagrange Observatory

Preferred Position: Chief Navigations Officer

Bio:

People who work in Second Lagrange Observatory have a reputation: sober, competent and humorless. People born there ... well.

Lagrange 2 is permanently shaded by the earth's shadow. This makes it perfect for experiments so sensitive that they could be disrupted by a stray photon from the sun. It also makes it perfect for exacting stellar observations without interference. Such work requires a steady hand and an absolute focus. A sense of humor is an optional extra that most can't afford. The residents have accepted the unofficial designation of Second Lagrange as "Where the Sun Doesn't Shine" without a hint of a smile.

Born from a rare relationship on the observatory itself, Maria was born looking up at the Earth's darkside. Not surprisingly, she decided to look in the other direction. Named after the famed astronomer, she grew up carefully measuring the stars.

Navigating a starship requires an absolute dedication to precision and efficiency. On a self-sufficient ship where 80 people require a constant stream of resources to survive, any amount of waste is too much. At the same time, it requires an intuitive grasp of the technology that controls the ship's movement. Many things - like time dilation and drift - are too complicated to build equations around in a way that humans can grasp them. AIs can only do so much. Playing it by "feel" is the only workable solution.

Maria combines both into a single stone-faced package. The courses she plots will show up in the next generation's textbooks. Her crew - the helmsmen and assistant navigators - admire her skills even as they mock her inability to recognize a joke.
