Nyarly can still work, but the plot has to feel worthy of him, I think. If I remember correctly, the issue was that this was just the walking dead running around, and... okay, we're oversaturated on zombie movies. Not thzt zombies can't work, but... it's brute force, and I tend to think of Nyarlathotep as more into sadistic chess.
A Deep One PI could certainly work. Think of all the prejudice the poor guy would have to face (I am presuming guy here). Everyone knows the Deep Ones want to steal human women for unspeakable rites!
In the Plus 20 game I ran, I made one of Laura's band mates a halfbreed Deep One, which was interesting. She wasn't up to anything more evil than once competing with Laura over who got to sleep with Gary (Honggong won). And, she really just wanted to ignore her Deep One-ness and hope it would go away, and -- sigh, she loved her folks, but they could be embarrassing, you know?
