Hi everybody!  Looking forward to some good old fashioned cold war fun.  :)

Hi, looking forward to this game!

What sorts of general thoughts might anyone else be contemplating for their characters?

I just submitted my application so we'll see what the GM says.

The tl;dr is an American with the Office of Naval Intelligence, graduated from Annapolis in '61 and was in Vietnam from '62-'66 before being transferred back home to be prepped for his current assignment.

I am thinking maybe an older European agent. Didn't US and other intelligence agencies basically just take over running a lot of Admiral Canaris's Abewehr espionage networks after the war ended? Maybe an Eastern European, ethnically German?

The BND was formed by the Abwehr chief on the Eastern Front who brought his records over to the Americans in 1945, so yes.

Ethnically German definitely works.

In reply to Hapax Legomenon (msg # 5):

I'm figuring we all know each other to varying degrees ahead of time.

Adeline is a Lebanese Maronite, originally recruited as just an asset and then later trained to be an agent. Based on her complexion and features, she can pass for being from most of Europe, the Middle East, very northern Africa, or much of the Americas. She's good at three things:

• Polyglot. She grew up bilingual (French/Arabic) with extensive English. Since then she's picked up several more languages.
• Pickpocket/shoplifter. She's good taking/swapping things without being noticed and then disappearing into a crowd or around a corner.
• Seductress. She can work men over, which provides for a great pickpocketing distraction.

Unless any of you want to already start in Frankfurt, you'll all be on a Lufthansa Boeing 707 nearing the airport.
