Tooth and Claw characters again

[ffutures]

In the end my adventuring group will consist of


Author / conspiracy theorist with a "yellow peril" style fear of Yarge (humans)

Disillusioned priest with a gambling problem

Army officer who has been discharged from the service due to a permanent disability but still considers himself a Dragon of Action. Think Bulldog Drummond with wings, but even thicker.

Bored spendthrift young aristocrat with a few useful skills. Think Peter Wimsey's nephew only not as bright.

Borderline alcoholic servant of the above (Role model Jeeves or the butler version of Blackadder, only creepier - basically a slave with a bad attitude)

Elderly widow who has an ...ahem... interesting past.


I'll post the stats after the weekend

I suspect he will be played as a Wooster clone, but I'm deliberately not giving that example to the players, I want to see what they come up with.

There's some excelent Wimsey / Wooster fanfic, which explains Wooster's behaviour as being due to shell shock - he'd completely blotted WW1 out of his mind and can't even begin to think about it, or understand why people are so sombre in November.

I've looked at a biography of Jeeves (I think it might have been by C. Northcote Parkinson), in which Jeeves gets some advice on choosing a suitable employer from his friend Bunter at the Junior Ganymede. . . .

Think I read it many years ago, but can't remember much about it. His biography of Horatio Hornblower was Ok, but again not incredibly memorable.
