Character Creation, Random Style

We just had a our first session, dedicated to character creation. The system we are using is the WFRP 1st edition, and we also had access to the Character Pack for further customization. So the character creation process was pretty much randomized all the way - the various tables from the Character Pack were optional, but everyone decided to roll the dice anyway. I think we did two takebacks with the "roll for a profession"-table, and one for distinguishing characteristics ("not everybody lisps!").

I'll ask the players to write a short blurb about their characters and themselves as well for a future post, but suffice to say, things went smoothly. Randomized character creation tends to lead to characters no-one would have come up with on their own. Prior to the session, all we knew were the names of two characters (Günther and Walburga), but nothing else about them (besides Günther's mustache). The random tables did the work, and for the campaign, we now have:

Günther Konrad: Former exciseman with silver hair and a Günther-esque mustache. Great with numbers. Played by Mikko K.

Walburga Mittelmund, AKA Holger Mittelmund: Walburga is a tall, pale-skinned and red-haired woman. She pursues a military career and goes as one Herr Holger, from your local militia. Is the lisp part of the disguise or not? Played by Anni N.

Grimgrim Gormdottir: A dwarven thief. Heavy-set and short-haired, looks a lot like Mr. T. She also has a stutter. Played by Laura R.

Errindel Elmarillion: A slightly unhinged elven seer. Great public speaker with a clear voice. We'll see just how sane he is (my guess is, not very). Divination should prove an interesting device in the campaign :) Played by Mari T.

More info and stats on all of these coming up. I'll probably add a separate page for each character, so we can perhaps follow their growth/insanity/injuries (edit: done and done!). While waiting, here's a picture of Tytti, the gamer kitten, courtesy of Anni:
