Mark Twain. As a side note, this process has been a whole lot easier thanks to comments on this blog and in the Google+. Thanks to everyone for their ideas and encouragement. For Twain's character concept, I think I'm going to go with, Time Traveling Man of the World. For his time, Twain was almost singularly aware of the greater world due to his newspaper sponsoring trips around the world so that he could write about and comment on his experiences. He also spent his early adult years as a riverboat captain. He's seen a lot. Add being ripped through time for our SoTC adventure, and I think it's a fitting character concept.
Mark Twain, Time Traveling Man of the World
Aspects:
- Hard drinkin', hard fightin'.
- It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
- Man of the World.
- Accidental Time Traveler.
- A Particular Way With Words.
- Big Spender
- Fate Tied to the Comet
- Impressive Mustache
- The Mysterious Stranger
- The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
- Beat the Clock
- Tesla's Friend and Benefactor
- Thrilled by Man's Ingenuity, Disappointed by His Stupidity
Next up, I'll start working out the middle aged accidental time traveling Nikola Tesla.
If you have any thoughts on ways to invoke and compel Twain's aspects, please post them in the comments.
** Storied Adventures seems to be obsessed with Spirit of the Century at the moment, but it's a bit broader than that. It is usually a board and table top gaming blog that is written by a guy who loves board games and is returning to RPGs after a 20 year absence. I am attached to my wife's Amazon affiliate account, so purchases made through any Amazon links support the ongoing blogging efforts of Storied Adventures (many thanks!)
