I was recently thinking about the Death Bells.

Wouldn’t they ring like.. all the time in a Major City?

It is not entirely clear how big the City is but considering Gang Wars, Ghosts, Depression and harsh working Conditions there should be at least a couple of Deaths each day. On a Major Gang War you should be deafened by the Sound of the Bell.

Does anyone consider that?

I had recently a lot of nice Ideas for unusual Characters for each Archetype:

If someone is interested here they are. Feel free to share your weird and different Character Concepts too:

Cutter: ex-knife Thrower from Duskval Circus, now apprentice of an old Assassin looking for a successor.

Hound: Old Fisherman living in the Tangletown. He uses his Eel-Crossbow (called Eel-Rod) for his Jobs and has a human sized octopus as his companion.

Leech: former Noble Women now Perfume-saleswomen, which has a long streak of bad luck behind her. She uses Flowers, mushrooms and dead Animals for her alchemical processes. (Maybe even Humans?)

Lurk: former Butler of an old noble military Family, which died while he was on duty through a group of Assassins. He learned to keep quiet in his Job on a near supernatural level and takes care of the last remnant of the Family (a little girl) himself.

Slide: a slightly chubby Winemaker and Gourmet, which uses lavish food to lure his prey into safety. He needs an extremely rare bottle of Wine back, that was stolen some time ago.

Spider: An old Women in a Wheelchair, which uses her staff to do her bidding. She has not much to say in her rich house because her son-in-law has succeeded her Husband. Now she searches for a legal and subtle way to get rid of him. She plans almost everything in advance and uses flashbacks and preparation to support the others.

Whisper: a little girl who grew up seeing ghosts and learnt to interact with them extremely early. They taught and raised her instead of her permanently busy parents and formed her into a tool to do their will. She mostly talks to ghosts and dead People and is pretty clumsy when interacting with living people.

Do you know that Feeling when you have this really awesome Idea for a Character but no way to play him?

My Idea is a Leech, which creates his Alchemy through deep sea horror fish. He looks like an old fishermen with one Eye slightly bigger than the other and he lives in a small grotto not far from a destroyed lighthouse.

His Vice would be weird, because he sometimes likes to talk with his weird companions, which are halfway transformed fishmen or Ghosts of his old companions.
