Re: Game: Guess the (historical) character!
I'd hazard a guess at Saint Ambrose, but the write-up is missing one of his most interesting quirks (and I know nothing about his nose), so I'm at a loss.

Re: Game: Guess the (historical) character!
Charitable is what really sets this guy apart even from Ambrose.
Crooked nose is a fairly recent discovery based on physical evidence which may not be 100% reliable, but the consensus seems to be that this guy actually existed and did at least some of the things attributed to him. |

Ho, ho ho, it is Saint Nicholas, Thaumaturgos in Greek.
And the best of the season to you all. The floor is open to anyone. Edit: yes, Compulsive Generosity would also work well, or Selfless. |

Re: Game: Guess the (historical) character!
I have an open Guess the Character right now, but I'll post one.
TL6 Male - at a good mid-way through his career High in every stat, especially HT and Extra FP. Advantages: At least Born War Leader and Outdoorsman talent, possibly many more. Charisma Higher Purpose (Overcome family reputation) Tons of Allies Luck Rank 4ish (Much MUCH higher later in life) Disadvantages: Workaholic Bad Sight (mitigated/Glasses) Probably had Daredevil at the beginning of his career, but bought it off. Skills: Rifle, Ride (Horse), Strategy & Tactics (both Land and Sea), Writing, Tracking, and Multiple Survival skills at extreme levels. Administration, Public Speaking, Leadership, Boxing, Fencing, Wrestling and hundreds of others well above average, but not epically so.

Re: Game: Guess the (historical) character!
Wow, that's a lot of abilities for a real-life person!
Any Rank or Status? I think almost everyone with Strategy skill would have one or the other. |

Robert E. Lee. His father deserted his family and wound up in debtor's prison.

Re: Game: Guess the (historical) character!
That's an awfully... extreme... representation of Lee. And this is coming from a born-and-raised Southerner.
