Herman Smith's page

I think I've now got my character totally completed. Contacts, history, Feats spelled out, etc.

This is the character from pauljathome.

I've got it mostly finished at this point, just writing it all up. My character link will grow and grow :-).

But I do have one question.

How historically accurate should I be in my history? The character is partly Jewish and I want the antisemitism to be a huge motivating factor in what he does. But, in reality, in 1935 while things were horrendous and the writing was on the wall we're still shy of the REALLY egregious things that would be adventure fodder. Jews were not yet being arrested just for being Jews, they could freely leave the country, they still mostly had rights.

As I wrote up some of my past adventures I wanted to do things like a daring rescue of a prisoner from Dachau. stop a deportation of some non german Jews back to Poland, that sort of thing. Still stay away from full on Holocaust but be about as historically accurate as most Hollywood movies (ie, not at all :-)).
