First character

[DannyBoy]

If Giorgio was fighting for a German noble I don't think Cirillo would have been in the same company. There is nothing in my vision why he would have been fighting in the ranks of a German noble. Unless they simply paid better

I think they could have had that sort of soldier's camaraderie that you see in WWII vets.

[Marras]

Certainly. It is still a bit different than having been in the same company.

[Korbel]

Alex, your Mass Weapons should be 5 total, shouldn't they?

[Marras]

Korbel: I think you are right.

Otherwise it seems pretty interesting character. I especially like the phobia of horses although I think it would (even as a minor flaw) make even driving a cart very tough. You would still have to get pretty near a horse to harness/unharness it etc. Of course he might have learned it before the accident.

Are you thinking about joining the game with this character or is this "just" a practice like my first iteration of my character?

[Alex]

Alex, your Mass Weapons should be 5 total, shouldn't they?

You're right, my bad

He'll never get in cart drawn by a horse, unless he absolutely has no other choice. He might ride in the back if someone else is driving the cart.

I think joining the "play by post" game could be a lot of fun

So i had the following Lady in mind. I'm not sure that she's suited to the Venice setting (in fact i'm very confident that she isn't at all suited), but i wanted to make this character so here you go.


Lady Diana, the Runaway

Concept: a nobleman's daughter who ran from home to avoid her arranged marriage and joined a mercenary company under a false name.

Description: a wiry woman with fire in her eyes and the wild beauty of a gorse bush. Her coarse hair falls in copper curls.

Story Aspects
"I will make my own name in this world. I will forge my own legend no matter the cost!"


NPCs: Todo

Overall, i feel the whole concept is pretty basic and i fear a bit cliche. :/
(There are many cliche characters like this but this one is mine.)
The main conflict here is that she wants to be in the limelight, she wants to be a force of (if necessary, violent) change in society; yet she has to keep a low profile to avoid her would-be husband's lackeys.

Now all i need is a sword, dagger, armour and a horse.

Unfortunately i can't think as to how a woman would acquire plate armour... cause i definitely would want that (although plate would require more than 24 mk probably? we'll see.)

EDITS: moved some things around.

[EinBein]

To be suited to the proposed campaign, I think some of those characters would best get some Italian names

Otherwise the whole band will be a set of strangers in a local setting

As i said:

I just didn't know where else to put a character.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this thread.

I also want him to have a loyal dog. Can an animal count as a Retainer at one point?

Yes, that is perfectly fine. Alternately, you could take Animal Kin and simply purchase the dog as equipment.
