H.P. Lovecraft: Eldritch Horror. John Steinbeck: Cryptid. Both are grape farmers as a front to keep their secret. John is easygoing, casual, confident with his abilities, talkative, and surprisingly cunning. HP Lovecraft is odd, hates working, unmotivated, anxious, always sleepy, and nonchalant. Both are polite. John has short blonde hair and blue eyes, dresses like a farmer. Lovecraft has long black hair and grey eyes, dresses formally.
