Character Creation Challenge 2025 4: Call Of Cthulhu

Character Creation Challenge 2025

4: Call Of Cthulhu and family

There’s a lot of horror in music, and not just in Metal and Goth and the like that really lean into it. We have a whole lot of murder ballads, violent operas, blues singers going to the crossroads, and heroes like Silver John.

Call Of Cthulhu and relatives like Trail Of Cthulhu usually have groups of investigators chasing its mysteries to the bitter end, but the 1920s-30s base and other historical settings could allow for different kinds of groups getting caught up in the danger for other reasons.

Here picking up Harlem Unbound and looking to Lovecraft Country:

The Dev Longford Five


Concept
A Chicago jazz quintet with a side of the blues, whose members play ghoulish to show the monsters they do not fear them.

Longford, guitar, Great War veteran with a guitar in one case and a longarm in the other
Derrick, horn, a great card player but not great enough for his gambling habit

Zadie, percussion, loudmouth
