  • Going with the idea that Arthur received word of the death of Mrs Timmons husband about six weeks prior to the other letters being sent out, and thus went early to help her 'connect' with her recently departed husband.
  • Just an idea...perhaps it was Arthur who convinced Mabel to have Brian committed in the sanatorium (both because he was 'in the way' and because he was acting weird!)?
It will have been in the papers as the Timmons's are fairly wealthy, rather than a letter sent by Brian as he was not living at the family home when his father died. It could be that your presence was the deciding factor that prompted to have him committed, as she was obviously disturbed.

Gotcha! I modified the backstory to have the initial attention come from noticing a newspaper article as opposed to a letter from Brian.
I almost thought there was no need for Arthur to have had a previous acquaintance with Brian, given this case. But I hope this works without coming across as too ‘coincidental’.

I think I still might need some help on character creation. How do you want to do stats? Did you want me to roll somewhere on site, or just trust me to do it using a character generator offline?

Hi Lord R,

TBH, I’m not very experienced in this at all, but DJP clued me onto a char generation utility called “byakhee”, which auto-rolls stats for you, if you don’t mind to take a bit if randomness for your char (or just keep generating rolls until you get a mix that fits the char, which you have in mind).

As Strange2099 pointed out, Byakhee is a character generation program that is free and I've used for many years, there other ones out there by other developers. I'm a trusting soul, you can generate them offline, or use the dice rolling mechanism on here, as long as you don't come back with all 18's, as I'm not that trusting.

Dice roller it is!



EDIT: Is there some kind of re-roll for bad rolls?

With those rolls I would suggest a complete re-roll. Send them to me in a PM, the admins aren't keen on dice rolls in application threads.
