I'll start.

As my avatar and sig. indicates, I'm a big Solomon Kane fan. Here's a character that fits with the dark horror and pulp adventure of Howard's Elizabethan England:

Dr. Edward Fitz-Howard, Physician and Spy for the Crown
Strength 0, Agility 1, Mind 2, Appeal 1
Initiative 1, Melee 2, Ranged 0, Defence 1
Lifeblood: 10, Hero Points: 5
Careers: Noble 0, Scholar 1, Physician 2, Spy 1
Languages: English, French, Ancient Greek, Latin
Boons: Friends in High Places, Friends in Low Places, Tools of the Trade (surgical kit)
Flaws: Cravings (alcohol), City Dweller
Gear: Light armour (concealed leather jerkin), Rapier (1d6, the weapon of a 'gentleman')

Third son to a minor (and illegitimate) branch of the Howard family, Edward was forced to watch his extended relations enjoy the benefits of their esteemed name from a position of relative poverty. Parlaying his connections with promises of future service, he studied at Oxford, earning degrees in natural philosophy and medicine. By the end of his student term he was regularly crossing the channel, reporting on the attitude and disposition of Catholic France to the Crown. Now in his late twenties, he is heavily embroiled in the shadow world of spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham.
