𝙳𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝙻𝚘𝚜𝚝

@DeadDropAccepted. Post it in the character tab. The color code for the headers is 'b8b8b8', if you want to adjust your character's name, as it's slightly darker.

I hope there are at least a few more players joining you. It might not be so fun to do this alone.

_{Dr. B E N J A M I N M c C O Y}

CRIMINAL — It was many years ago. It was at the beginning of his practice at a hospital. He had only recently been moved to the psychiatric ward, part time. His first case was a young girl, who suffered from a unique case of autism. He was working late one night, conversing with his patient and making progress with her social anxiety. The girl had grown to trust him almost as much as she trusted her own parents. The next morning Benjamin resigned from the hospital. No reason was given and most of the staff were baffled. His last patient, the girl, never spoke a single word after that night. She became catatonic. The following doctor had to keep her sedated every night, so that the girl would not wake up screaming due to nightmares about that last night with Dr. Benjamin McCoy.

• DEPRESSION — The good doctor has been fighting against depression since the late 1980s. He would like to blame himself and his choices in life, but all the horrible things he has to hear on a daily basis certainly play their part. Benjamin has a tendency to see only the bad side of any situation, even if he is supposed to help others with the positive. Because of all this, the doctor prescribes himself a whole slew of pills, which he chucks down his throat every morning.
• DRUG ADDICT — Benjamin is addicted to the anti-depressants that he ensures himself through his profession as a medical doctor and psychiatrist. His wife and children suspect that he is up to something, but they cannot put their finger on it. The old man is adept at covering his tracks and acting as if being sober. Lately, however, he has been dipping into far more dangerous substances, as he has developed a solid resistance towards the usual suspects.

• ALTRUIST — Despite his shortcomings, the doctor possesses true unselfishness. It is a rare virtue in this decadent city they call New York. Benjamin has no limit as to how many patients he will take under his wings, even if it means that he has to sleep at the office. One could even argue that his drug addiction is for the sake of keeping up with all of his patients. Or perhaps he feels guilt because of the young girl, his first patient and what he did to her. Either way, he is doing an outstanding service.

Divinity Lost

@DeadDropI was just curious. The concept of the character is good. A character skilled in computers is always useful, especially in this, as a lot information about what they will go through can be found on the dark web. If you personally don't know much about it, do take some time to research.

@AshganParts of what I've written is blatant plagiarism, but I also don't want this to be an actual instance of the game itself, so I'm removing/adding things as I see fit. They're actually doing a reboot of the game now. The new rulebook should be out this year, I believe. I'll definitely pick up a hard copy of it.

That character concept fits the setting perfectly. It's a classic deep dive scenario-link when it comes to grim 'underworlds' of society and occult matters.

Divinity Lost

@DeadDrop That was fast. I will properly go through character sheets when everything is set. There might also be additional information in the OOC that you want to consider for your character. Are you familiar with the game, Kult, itself?

Divinity Lost

@BishopYou cannot increase the maximum amount of points you spend on attributes, nor will the story offer more. Think of advantages and disadvantages as a layer that carries more weight than attributes, but is not absolute. 'Increased pain resistance' is like armor in addition to your hit points, if one would severely simplify all of this.

Your character can be haunted by 'something'. You can suggest what it is, but if it doesn't fit into the lore I'll change it so it does. Or, lastly, I'll can create this 'something' for you. I will also control the actions of this 'something' in the story.
