C.C.C. 2025 - Character #24 - Thomas Tombstone ("Awfully Cheerful Engine")

 Even known this tabletop roleplaying game considers itself the spiritual successor -- for lack of
better words from TV Tropes -- to West Ends Game's "Ghostbusters" tabletop roleplaying
games from the middle of the 1980s. This tabletop roleplaying can do the comedy version of
any genre -- from "Cyberpunk" to "Western" -- and any genre in-between and beyond -- no

● Style's Focus = Animals
● & Brawn's Focus = Swimming 

Defense for my character is my character's Moves & 3. 2*3=6. According to the rulebook for this
game, if I get a number lower then 8 -- I have to raise that number to 8 -- no questions asked,
no answers given -- so my character's Defense is 8.

Health is equal to Brawns -- unless I took the "Tough" focus -- then I can add 2 to the number.
Since I didn't take the "Tough" focus, my Health number is the following -- no questions asked,
no answers given: 3.

I'm going with "Cocky" for my character's Trait for this character -- no questions asked, no
answers given.
