[Icelander]

I told the players to pick birth dates for their characters with occult significance, something related to their particular character concepts. None have yet done so, probably because none of my players believe in astrology, numerology or any other -ogy which would allow them to know whether or not a particular date is auspicious, momentous, portentous or any other kind of -ous.

In case any forumite is familiar with such things, can they suggest birth dates that would be suitable for Alice Talbot (b. 1994), Edward Alvin Smith (b. 1957), Lucien Lacoste (b. 1980) and 'Nonc' Morel (b. 1949)?

Alice Talbot has twice been the attempted sacrifice for a demonic ritual and the other PCs are really wondering why an apparently mild-mannered, mousy assistant librarian and anthropology PhD student should be catnip for cults. While not actively ugly, she's definitely not the type they'd imagine was kidnapped for her sex appeal and they're currently working on the theory that she was born under some influence that matters to the cults.

Well, Lucien Lacoste has been proclaiming that it's probably because she's a virgin, as 'lesbian sex doesn't count', but Ms. Talbot, after refusing to answer questions about her sex life, becoming offended and being furiously uncomfortable, stated that 'it was 2018, she was 24 and that she had a boyfriend in college'. Further statements that her college life had been exciting and 'full of friends and lots and lots of sex and parties' were found to substantially weaken her position, as being manifest untruths, vide exhibit A, the person of Ms. Talbot.

Lacoste might have been born at some date related to spirits or the dead.

Edward Alvin Smith might have been born at some date with connotations for the veil between worlds and/or at a date connected to a legendary craftsman or a deity connected to smithing.

'Nonc' Morel is a druid, so... nature stuff. He's Cajun, lives in wet swampland and is particularly associated with the mangrove tree, fruit and gardening, as well as various herbs of mind-expanding properties.
