Strength 8 and Size 8.

Not too too sure if that's good, or not (haven't read the book in soooo long), but I'm pretty sure it's average.

Edit - Oh and my comments were about King, not Lovecraft. Lovecraft wrote, mostly about his nightmares. Apparently he had a lot of them ...

He also has that famous description of a nightgaunt going for him, about the black void where a face should be and yada yada. Maybe someone has the exact quote?

Along that line... you should put nightgaunts in some of our missions. They're cool, although I'm not sure if they're connected to the Cthulu mythos or something else that he wrote.

Personally, if we're going to be in an RP based of someone's written works, we should be roleplaying in the literary world of Oscar Wilde.

Or Jane Austin! That would give IHMN the chance to flirt poorly in a time period where everyone was so uptight, all the did was flirt poorly.

Uptight ... flirts poorly ... Great Scott! IHMN is a literary work of Jane Austin!

Maybe it means, that while other people can see people's personality, and feelings through their eyes, all he sees are dark, unloving, unfeeling holes.


*shrugs*

And you wonder why IHMN wants your character killed.

Celes: That's probably it. About what I got out of it too... but it's still a really really really shitty analogy.

I though of that ...

I personally think he means he views eyes as holes. Windows into people.

But that's just as silly. Actually the best villian catchphrase he had was from Storm of The Century, but it wasn't even his character or phrase.

"We are Legion. For we are many."

*shiver*

Edit- Yeah, you're probably right, Krylo. About the death thing ... I'll lay off him, I guess. *shrugs*

"Shocking and uncouth black things with smooth, oily, whale-like surfaces, unpleasent horns that curved inward toward each other, bat wings who's beating made no sound, ugly prehensile claws, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be."
- H. P. Lovecraft, "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath"

I honestly didn't know who you were talking about Demon, I thought you still meant Lovecraft. I've never read a Stephen King novel either. I generally stick to Sci-Fi, although this RP has gotten me interested in picking up a Lovecraft book now...

I'm still trying to figure out why I got mentioned to be killed to... other than that I volunteered and was too weak to open the attic door... so his guy got killed because my guy sucks.

Edit: That's the quote, FZ. Can I make my next character a nightgaunt? They're like... intelligent and stuff...

If you want to read decent works out of the 1920s, with Mystery and Intrique, then I suggest:

(By Raymond Chandler)
The Big Sleep
The High Window
Lady in the Lake

But not 'The Little Sister' or 'Farewell my Lovely.' Both are convoluted, and their solutions/endings leave you wanting a better ending/resoultion.

Edit- I dunno. I think he just lashes out whenever he can. At friends (I assume you) and enemies (Me! Glee!) alike. Or he was just teasing you. Maybe. My money is on the violent lashing out due to an unsatisfying childhood wasted flirting into an electronic box.

... ... ... dammit. I'm doing it again.

That would be a no to playing a nightgaunt.

Ironically, nightgaunts are the servents of one of the two "Good" Gods, so we may be seeing them on our side one day...

I will look into those Demon, I haven't been to the bookstore in far too long, and I am just about out of books again...
