Setting: Somewhere in Northeastern Hungary. October, 1945.

If there is a kind of character you absolutely do not want to play, or if you are absolutely itching to play a certain type of character, email me and I will see what I can do. Otherwise, characters will be pregenerated and preassigned.
This page will eventually include a brief blurb about what you all know about why you are where you are when the game starts, and a brief blurb about what is known by all the characters about each other. OTHER THAN THIS, any information I send you regarding the game, or your character, is private. You are not to discuss any part of your character sheet with the other players. This extends to game-time, except where necessary (such as when making rolls)
Characters have been sent out via email. If you have questions, direct them to me: do not discuss with the other players unless you've checked with me first (some of the characters would have time to meet/discuss/plan before the events of the game, some would not).
What you all know: You have been recruited for a civilian investigation, safeguarded by the US military, into church ruins in Hungary at the behest of the Vatican. All of you are also aware that you have been recruited for a military investigation, with a civilian cover, into an abandoned Nazi research facility in Hungary.
