My arm is broken not sprained o.O

I can type with my left hand but a lot slower, i think i should be ok to continue though, off work so i got extra time to write :L lookin forward to this!

[Zahrale]

Well. I suppose that last person lost interest because they did not get Traitor... Such a disappointment. Alas, I can no-longer wait!

I am currently Typing... The Beginning post!

[Zahrale]

I will be introducing a odd mechanic.

"Cycles" - Everyone will have the chance to respond Twice before Day turns to night, and the social oriented day posts become a Battle oriented Night post. this form of Cycles exist because the Black Banner attacks At Night.

Also, Everyone will have a section, and based off of what I give you it is up to every player to decide what is worth doing in the day.

Somebody is a special cookie (Panther), and needs to be bopped with a large pillow.

Cheerful and clever, wild through and through. (Orphan turned Gypsy)
(Will produce the weakest Changeling physically, but the best affinity for magic that helps the group)

Knight Archetype:

(Her preferred weapons are the Longbow and Shortsword)
(She sometimes will help the wounded during a fight too, depending on the situation.)

Equipment:

• Small Iron Dagger
  Gifted to her by a fallen Knight, and an old friend of hers.
• Long Bow and Arrows
  She knows how to make her own arrows if she's in danger of running out.
• Chain Mail
  Basically a short dress of chains that she wears over her normal dress.
• Steel Shortsword
  A well-balanced and deadly weapon in Elisabeth's hands, but nothing special on its own.
• Wooden Buckler
  She doesn't use it much considering her preference for the bow over the sword.

Magic:
None, at the moment.

Vows:
None, at the moment.

Faith:
She believes the faith her family followed, but the Fae that raised her are just as much family as those related to her by blood. She respects the Old Faith, but chooses to believe in Christianity.

Loyalty:
Unknown- She has no opinion of either yet.

Personality:
She is a very kind person, and will often go out of her way to try and make someone’s day- she enjoys seeing people smile. She is slow to anger, and quick to forgive. She is a loyal friend and very cunning in the face of adversity, coming up with plans that would seem childish in their simplicity but prove her instincts are spot-on. She’s very good at reading people, and at estimating how any actions she could take in a situation would most likely turn out. People tend to feel comfortable around her, as she is a proven healer and a genuinely nice person. Behind the sweet and kind exterior however, there lies a fierce and dangerous woman. She is grounded in her Faith and values knowledge to a nearly obsessive degree. For as nice as she seems though, she tends to drink to excess when she can, for many reasons.

Background/Upbringing:
Vitoria Chase was a curious child- and curiosity took her to strange places at times. One day she wandered too far into the forest, and lost her way back home. She was 7 or 8 at the time, and while she'd tried to find the path, it seemed that she was getting farther and farther away from all that she knew. After a few days, the Fae found her, and took her in. Shortly after they did, she changed her name to Elisabeth at their recommendation- It was the name of a friend she'd had before she had gotten lost. She spent the rest of her childhood with the Fae, raised as one of their own.

When she was 12 or so, they began teaching her how to fight. Other Fae and Humans were their enemies, but she never really understood why. She hated the fighting, and so she started trying to learn how to heal instead of harm. The Fae allowed her to learn what she wished, alongside their training. She became a soldier and a medic, trained to heal wounds even of the magical variety.

Eventually she left the Fae, to live out among the world. There she became a Knight, and that brings us about to where we are now.

Of course, she never tells anyone the true version of her history. When asked, she is simply Elisabeth Briar, only daughter of a minor noble family somewhere to the south- and that's all that you need to know, because the past isn't what matters right now.

@Zahrale I've been looking through the zeroth posts and I haven't gotten a clear view of the posting line. I think I saw that it was going to be freeform in the beginning, I'm not too sure. Can you clear this up for me?

[Zahrale]

@Renny Originally Yes, but I decided it would be easier to organize it a bit more strictly- Simply because there will be a LOT going on.

Having to split my posts between GM and Knights, and between Night and Day, makes it hard on me, let alone having to help the sheer number of role-players and respond to them. . .

[Zahrale]

@Vesuvius00 It works, it floats, I say put it in the CS section.

[Zahrale]

@Forett I was missing?

[Renny]

@Zahrale Oh okay. I'll be eagerly awaiting the list :)

[Forett]

@Zahrale Yea boyo.

[Zahrale]

Having a bit of trouble setting up the turns, might not set them up at all...

[Bright_Ops]

I would like to sign up. I'll make a character soon.

[Bright_Ops]

Fortune De Vigny

Name: Fortune De Vigny
Title: Sir
Noble virtue: When he was on the crisp of become a man, a plague swept through his families house hold and lands, cutting down many in its path. His father and mother died early in the outbreak and his elder brother fell ill shortly afterwards; Fortune stayed by his brother's side, tending to him as best he could even as others fled and he caught the illness himself. While he brother did not survive, Fortune did; Illness and plague became his enemy and he would split his childhood into training to be a knight and learning from what doctors and healers he could find in order to combat his deeply hated foe in whatever form he could.

Vow: "The Bringer of Pestilence stalks these lands, causing those living there to wither and die. Therefore, I must follow it's and defeat it where I can."- Fortune has received some degree of medical training from healers and doctors that he has encountered, but he has sworn an oath that in the event of a plague, he would enter the stricken area to tend to the sick.

Combat Style/Knight Archetype: Fortune is a knight that prefers to fight with sword and shield, marching into battle with his peers on foot. While he can ride a horse, he finds the creatures a bit too easy to bring down with arrow fire or likely to panic in combat.

Age: 21

Height: 182 cm (about 6 foot)

Appearances/Description:


Fortune De Vigny outside of his armor isn't exactly the picture of a heroic knight that the stories and tales talk about; He survived the illness that swept through the De Vigny estate that laid low both of his parents, his brother and almost all of their servants (with the exception of those disloyal cowards who ran away) but he appears more akin to a decently fed peasant then that of a noble born due to how the illness pocked the skin of his face and weakened his body. He has managed to recover a lot of his former strength through.

His eyes are a light blue while his hair is a messy brown/blonde color. His skin in a tanned white that still shows the signs of the damage the illness did to him years ago.

It isn't strange for Fortune to dress in the attire of a healer or, if the situation calls for it, the attire of a plague doctor if he is not actively fighting on the front. The De Vigny crest he wears is a shield colored blue and white with a black cross dividing it into four sections. At the center of the cross is a unicorn, raising up on its back legs as if trying to kick something in the face with its front hooves.

Equipment:
A suit of 'lesser' plate armor.
A sword and shield with the De Vigny crest.
A horse named Twilight.
A set of healers/doctors robes.
A travel bag filled with his medical tools.
A travel bag filled with dried medical herbs and sustainable medical components.
A set of wax treated plague doctors robes and a plague doctors mask.

Upbringing/Backstory:
The De Vigny family was a minor noble house in the grand scheme of things; A lesser noble family in the eyes of the major players but a noble family none the less. When King Arthur established the kingdom of Camelot Fortune's father was quick to swear loyalty to the king who was uniting their land and served happily for many years as a knight.

Fortune De Vigny was the younger of the two sons of the De Vigny household, which removed some of the expectations of him becoming the ruler of their holdings and thus allowed him to be fully dedicated to a life of knighthood so that he could serve his brother and king and possibly earn himself lands to call his own. His trainers were not cruel people, but they were strict and could prove rather harsh when it came to correcting mistakes. Fortune had very little free time for himself, often spending a great deal of time from sun up to sun down split between training, studies and the duties he was entrusted with until well after sun down and he could finally get some sleep.

In Fortune's 12th year, a pox swept through the De Vigny lands and household, claiming many in its brutal wake. The Lord and Lady of the house died early in the outbreak, with Fortune's elder brother (the new Sir De Vigny) being sickened soon afterwards. While the staff of the household fled, Fortune stayed by his brother's side to treat him as best he could by keeping him fed, watered and generally looking after him as much as someone without knowing any real method of treating an illness; He tried to keep him alive so that he could fight it off naturally.

Even as he treated his brother, Fortune fell ill himself. Despite the ravages of the pox taking its toil on him, he forced himself to keep going in order to look after himself and his brother because there wasn't anyone else he could ask to do so. Despite his efforts, the pox claimed his brother much like it claimed their parents. Alone and sick, Fortune finally had the chance to rest as he looked after himself the best he could, but he fully expected to die with the rest of his family.

He doesn't know if the Christian God or one of the Old Gods took a moment of pity on him, but Fortune was surprised when the effects of the pox started to subside; It would take him a long time to recover properly and his skin would forever be marked by it, but he had survived where many others didn't. The outbreak faded with time, people returned to their homes and their jobs... and Fortune De Vigny became the sole surviving member of his family.

The next few years were dedicated to study and recovery since he didn't have the strength to continue training in combat, with Fortune having to learn how to manage the family estate first hand with the aid of a steward. He also showed an almost zealous interest in learning about medicine and healing, learning what he could from any source that presented itself. As the years passed and he gained the physical ability to start training for combat again, he threw himself into it with gusto!

While he became a knight somewhat later then normal due to his period of illness and recovery, Fortune happily made his vows and claimed the title of Sir De Vigny for his own. What brought him to the attention of the Round Table was not his feats in battle through; It was his desire to go out and treat the sick that earned him fame.

Faith: Doesn't know enough of either to claim one way or the other, but has a healthy respect for the Fae.
Loyalty:
Magic:

@Bright_Ops Technically I did have it listed as full, but may have forgotten to adjust the interest check... But we did have someone drop out like a spoiled brat over not getting Traitor.... sooooooo...

The character is Interesting. . . a Minor noble from Camelot, only just now managing to find his way to the keep itself. It could work.

[Bright_Ops]

@Zahrale

I'm in?

[Zahrale]

@Bright_Ops I suppose, Youll be under Camelot knights . . . since you're not Saxon or Welsh.

[Bright_Ops]

@Zahrale

That's fine. How many Camelot knights are there?

[Zahrale]

@Bright_Ops

Wellllll Not counting Lady Pendragon or Lord Du Lac. . . .

Just you. . . Oh, And the Traitor. (SPOILERS AND HINTS?! HOW DARE I?!)

(Btw, I figured out your reward, Mr. "Im going to guess who the bad-guy is")
