Production Package - NYPD Character Profiles

Here are the mock profiles for some of the characters that are in Cthulhu. I will update regularly with sections and groups of characters that are categorised in a similar pretext. Here, I will show the first draft character profiles for the officers within the New York Police Department:

John Raymond Legrasse:

A strong independent man, Legrasse is a Detective Chief Inspector with the NYPD. He is strong willed, good natured and very dedicated to his job, often putting in overtime into the job he so loves, much to his wife’s dismay.  He has an athletic figure, with short thinning brown hair and dark stubble covering his face. He has an athletic figure, is relatively tall standing around 6 foot, and can look intimidating when he wants to be. Legrasse is in his mid-thirties and a father of one. Sometimes he gets too involved with his work, making him a good cop but also vulnerable to occasionally getting too emotionally attached to some of the victims he is trying to help. Legrasse is charged with being the lead Detective in a series of missing person’s cases that take place in a short amount of time. He will go through whatever means possible to solve a case, occasionally taking his position of power slightly too far. Upon meeting Professor William Webb, he has a hard time believing in the “mythology and fairy tales” that Webb is trying to explain to him. It is only when his own wife and child go missing that he starts to believe in the unknown.


Aimie Fiber

A Detective Inspector within the NYPD, she is partnered with John Legrasse and works with him in all of his cases. She is of a Latin origin. Fiber can often be quite feisty, and whilst she can keep a calm rapport she tends to have short outbursts when something displeases her. She has a rather sarcastic manner to herself, and enjoys making digs at people in higher authority then herself, including Legrasse and even her Captain, Peter Michaels. However, Fiber is kind hearted, and good at what she does, often putting in overtime herself. She is of average height, standing at around 5 foot 5 inches, with a slender figure and long black hair, usually worn in a ponytail.  She tends to dress quite smart, as she has to with the job. Having worked with Legrasse for many years, she knows him rather well and looks up to him, and in times of need and desperation, knows how to keep Legrasse grounded.

Captain Peter Michaels

Michaels is the Captain of Legrasse and Fiber’s department at the NYPD. Michaels is an older and experienced man, with many years in the field. He is in his mid-fifties and still going strong as an acting Captain. He is friendly and warm, however when it comes to work he means business. He will often try and push the detectives in his department to get the best results he can. He knows how to run and office and knows how to control his men. He is a huge New York Giants fan, with much memorabilia in and around his office. He is also a very caring man with a wife whom he cares for dearly, who unknown to Legrasse and Fiber has also gone missing, and he expresses worry but only to himself.

Sergeant Beaumont

A police Sergeant of the NYPD and a non-field officer, Beaumont spends most of her time under the care of Captain Michaels, working as his official secretary. Despite her high rank, Beaumont prefers the administrative side of police work, and does what she can to help out around the offices. She is a smart, well-dressed and strict woman, with Red Hair usually worn in a bun and oval glasses. She has a soft spot for the Captain, having once worked with him as his partner; they now work together to keep everything well maintained and appropriate in the office.

Detective Richards


Richards is an obnoxious detective who considers himself better than others. He constantly looks down on people thinking he is the best at what he does, which is reflected in the good results he gets on the cases he works. He is constantly at a rivalry with Legrasse, and tries to upstage him a lot of the time. He has a soft spot for Fiber, and consistently tries to hit on her, which is never too successful. Things take a turn for the worse for Richards however, when he is taken over by the Shoggoth and he becomes an important member of the Cult of Cthulhu.
