A Cold Wind Blows...

That works, so he'll be the Village Merchant. If you look at my you'll see their Father was once a merchant who was one of the few to bother with the trip down the mountain to get goods. I envisioned this being done once or twice a year. If you like your character can be his apprentice who took over when he left to be a tavern-keeper. Up to you. Let me know when you update the sheet and I'll take another look. Speaking of Stanislav (the tavern-keep), Scoundrel's character's father is a bit fond of drink so they might well be friends with him. And of course Stanislav can be Adrian's biggest customer.

Alright, I'll be updating the sheet later today.

This is a very interesting character but he's not going to fit for the RP. I said from the interest check on that Players would be taking the role of Villagers. There is a reason for this. The isolated atmosphere, the close-knit ties are important.

I can modify him to be a merchant within the village, does that sound ok to you?

Looks like you guys are pretty quick on those sheets; now its time for me to join in.

While everyone's trying to connect the dots between villagers; I feel like a foreign character will add another dimension to the story.

Name: Coskun Tuccar
Age: 26
Appearance:

Coskun

:

Occupation: Travelling merchant
History and background: Coskun hailed from a land in the south, where great Sultans ruled an ancient empire. As the only son amongst the Tuccar daughters, Coskun lived a relatively comfortable childhood, thanks to the shrewd businessmen known as his father and uncle. As a child, Coskun distanced himself from his family's work. Instead of learning trade-craft, Coskun read from his family's small collection of books and frequented himself on the arquebus range. Though he was neither an adept marksman nor a proficient author, the young Tuccar was self-motivated to be a man of books and gunpowder, rather than coins and ledgers.

During his twenty-fifth birthday, his father and uncle were absent from the celebration. It was only two weeks later that the news of their unfortunate demise reached his ears. A freak storm in the mountains claimed their lives, and per family tradition, Coskun was the only adult male to inherit the business. Later that year, Coskun was dragged by his uncle's partners onto his first trip north. He was initially pessimistic about the trip, anticipating nothing but snow and wind. Instead, he found the folks quite fascinating and complex. Their folk tales reminded him of the stories from his youth, and the robust spirit of the people inspired Coskun in many ways he never realized. In the end, the men of his caravan scorned his lackluster bartering. But Coskun realized that this trip would not be his last, indeed, the culture of Adishi edged him to return.

Just wondering about the context. Ex. Are people hunting with firearms or bows? Was Russia actively internationally as an empire, or relatively isolated as a smaller Tsardom? But yeah, fantasy seems like a good background, I'm all for player-established cannon.

So Lillian, roughly how far along history is this? You mentioned the Tsar, which started with Ivan IV in 1547. I assume we're somewhere around the 16th century, right?
