The Cthulhu Eternal Age of Revolutions SRD has a selection of Protagonist Archetypes that cover common types of characters that appear in Lovecraftian stories. Of course those ten or so character types won’t cover everything that a player might dream up for a Protagonist concept … that’s why the SRD also has a section describing how to build new Archetype templates. Collected below are some new 18th Century Archetypes that community members have built.

Lovecraft’s short stories and novellas are packed with personalities which are typical examples of classic “investigators” of the Cthulhu Mythos. Game Moderators may wish to drop some of those individuals into a scenario or campaign as an NPC. The following statistic blocks will assist. However, GMs are always advised to go back and re-read the short stories which introduce the characters as this will give far greater insight into their quirks and characteristics – much more than a stat block will.

“the picture was a three-quarter-length one … the subject was a spare, well-shaped man with dark-blue coat, embroidered waistcoat, black satin smallclothes, and white silk stockings, seated in a carved chair against the background of a window with wharves and ships beyond. When the head came out it was observed to bear a neat Albemarle wig, and to possess a thin, calm, undistinguished face …”
– H. P. Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (1927)
