"Richard was born in Fairfax, Virginia. At a young age he had devolped Muscluar Atrophy and becuase of this he has always been fairly feeble in the streangth aspect, losing any extra muscle mass almost imdiatly after he managed to put it on. Becuase of this he focused on making himself fast and nimble, running track and other agility based activities in his schools growing up.
Once he finished up his education, which involved about four years of law school after he graduated from high school, Richard was imediatly taken in by the local police force despite his physical disiease, serving 10 years as a standard patrollman and then 7 years as the local star detective of the Fairfax police, solving what was thought to be very difficult cases with seeming ease.
At the scene of his last case on the force Richard encountered something he would have never expected. DUring the case of a brutal, almost ritualistic killing of a young girl the detective stumbled into tales of darkness and madness the further he looked into it, learning there may be things in this world that he couldnt comprhend, things that were beyond imagination and hid in the deepest and darkest corners of the universe.
Being skeptical like any normal person of logic would be, he thought it all to be nonsense and continued on with the case. Later on in the case though, richard began to find himself being the target for murder himself, barely escaping strange robed figures who seemed to follow his every move now and each one attempting to take his life my some insidious means.
After the multiple brushes with death Richard imediatly droped the case and retired from police work. Ever since he did he discovered that his mysterious followers dissapeared just as mysteriously as they showed up.
It's been years since Richards retirement and dispite the attempts on his life the detective couldn't resist the temptation to still crack cases, becoming a small time private eye. Doing this for a little while longer Richard soon began to have nightmares, all of them involving strange and hideous beings he didnt know what to make of and also other people depicted mainly in the same anonymous cloaks he saw his former assassins wearing.
The detective could soon feel things were about to change back to the way they were during his last case, and that this time he couldn't just quit and make it all go away."
Not finished yet, but thats what I got so far. Not so bad for my first attempt at a CoC character I think, other than my strength and income I rolled really well, though I still would've put down if it was bad, I want the real experiance for my first character and dont want to cheapen it. Still gotta understand how to allocate the skill points, but once i got that down i think im good to go.
