Is it gonna be like the Odyssey? Travelling constantly, meeting perilous places outside of civilization, witches (like circe), monsters (like the cyclops), scylla, etc, or will it be more of a "everything is dangerous in this section that has poisonous plants with mouths that snap at you and now half our tribe is dead" kind of a thing?

Wagnalli, the Forest Slope

Sir Peredur “Hard Spears” in Welsh (many call him the Welsh boy or Welsh knight or Red Knight)
KNIGHT (17)

• Brief Background: Though the son of a nobleman, he lived out in a forest and hunted with his mother and some servants, segregated from society. When knights came to his village, he wanted immediately to be just like this magnificent humans. His mother cried, but this boy didn’t care, and her story wasn’t really listened to. He set off the next day, and met a liege lord, who laughed at the boy’s leather chaps and javelins. The boy didn’t really notice, being untrained in subtle court dialect, and took on the challenge to joust an enemy knight that had insulted the king. The boy was lucky, and killed the knight. The boy stole the knight’s armor and set out to do more great deeds, his eyes starry with dreams of glory. He has killed two more enemies on his way until he came upon a knight that taught him to be chivalrous and fixed his technique up some. He’s continued to wander since, lances and spears his favorite weapon, and his trusted steed beneath him. The boy is called Peredur.
• Story thread: Found the bard and the village, and gallantly takes up the challenge of fighting this monster!
  Ambition: to be the best knight at his liege lord’s table, and to do great works of chivalry.
• Characterized by high ideals and chivalrous desires. He’s quick to start a fight, thinking it brave, and follows his gut without really thinking. His only hesitation is in the courts of men, where the polite speeches and big words make him silent and nervous, unsure of what to say.
• Driven by delusions of grandeur, and by a dream wherein he saw angelic might and beauty when first he saw that knight.

Brandubh (raven black)
BARD (26)

• Follows the knight, instigates and baits the knight in order to have a fun story to tell.
• Ambition: to become a court bard, and no longer have to live the life of a hobo-beggar, going from castle to castle and scrounging for a dull tale that earns him a haystack to sleep in and scraps from the Lord’s table.
• Wishes he were like Taliesin, that famous bard whose words held spellbound the bards of his liege’s enemies. This bard tends to stumble in his stories, begin it well, and then stutter, or clam up, and the story grows weak, and ends in limping, thin manner.
• He was trained at a bardic school as a descendant of a poet and reputed in his tribe. (he trained there for six or seven years) Upon his graduation, he was to give his Composition, and he did it well. But this bard, after years of service, was sent away because a wandering bard, with no training, proved the mightier in word, and held this bard spellbound. This bard’s liege made the wanderer a courtly bard, and his courtly bard a wanderer. (might be that bard also had fallen in love with the looks of the liege’s young wife, and felt rather discarded when she chose a foolish knight, nephew and heir to the throne, as her lover)
• He is not bitter, angry, or timid. He has lost his muse, and cannot feel the story like he had when he was youthful (teenager).
• Characterized by head knowledge, eloquence, specific and sharp words, trouble-maker, mischievous, harsh and unforgiving, but a thinker that meditates on events and lets them rest in his heart for a long while after. He does his best to be conscious of what he’s doing, and therefore feels extremely out of place when he has to make a gut decision.
• Driven by selfish ambition (deal the cards he’s dealt, and do what he can to get what he can out of it) Pragmatism. Pride of life (intellect, using your senses to perceive and analyze, earning what you have using cunning). Despises ignorance and/or stupidity (and does what he can to make their lives miserable -- doesn’t see them as equals, but more like animals he can train and use, or else discard)

If this thread overtakes the MLP game, I'll wear a Brony avatar and sig for a year.

How can life be alive if being dead means not dead?

@Medjedovic

I don't think I'll make it in time, but would you mind terribly if I threw in a CS even after the spots are full? I want to carefully consider my character before throwing her out there.

Chronicles of Altea

Since it's got a tabletop tag, are there gonna be character stats and dice rolling combat?

The Lion's Roar

I'm definitely up for this! I'd love to play an Ashan *^ *
