Finally got my characters for Chimera! I got my first choice for Nightmare Circle but not Flight of the Hindenburg. I had wanted Marion Ravenwood but she must have gone fast (no real surprise). So now I have Colonel Alexis von Frankenstein, and I just got her character sheet last night and... she's scary, and not really what her short description said. I'm not sure I can actually play her, as much fun as a fake German accent would be (how do you even say "colonel" in a German accent? It sounds funny. And speaking of sounding funny, Alexis is a terrible name and doesn't sound German at all). I think I might have missed a memo or something because the character sheet talks about things that are happening in connection with the flight that I have no idea about, but it presents as if common knowledge (thus not really explaining or giving any background). What's this air race it keeps mentioning? Is my character looking for that one thing specifically on the flight (and why in the world would it be there?!!), or just in general? Also it doesn't say how many other people know what my character knows. Is it supposed to be secret? Gah! I wonder if there are other characters still open and if I could swap. Though if everyone is set up similarly I'm not sure how much help that would be. And I don't know the GM from Adam so I feel odd about talking to him, especially to be so picky and demanding when I'm a newb. *sigh* I shouldn't have got my heart set on Marion. Thankfully the dress I'm making is pretty standard '30's and should work for anyone. Except if Alexis is supposed to be in uniform... dammit.
