[hider=Fortune De Vigny] [b]Name:[/b] Fortune De Vigny [b]Age: [/b] 16 [b]Race: [/b] Human (Bretonnian) [b]Profession:[/b] Knight Errant [b]Equipment:[/b] A suit of 'lesser' plate armor. A sword and shield with the De Vigny crest. A noble horse. [b]Personality: [/b] Despite being of noble birth, Fortune De Vigny seems to be an exemplar of empathy in that he seems to show a degree of respect for those who are not of noble birth and is happy to fight on foot beside them. He is as tight lipped about his past as he is with his wallet, rarely spending money if it can be avoided, but he at least makes the effort to be polite and friendly to those around him... unless he has logical reasons to not be. While he is brave, he is not suicidal; There is no shame in withdrawing to a stronger position if pride is the only thing keeping you there after all or avoiding a pointless battle if other objectives are more important. While he has never seen them for himself, Fortune has been raised for a deep hatred of Greenskins, Beastmen and the Skaven; The fact that he has lost just about everyone he knew and loved to illness has raised the Skaven up on the list of things he hates due to their history of using plagues so they wouldn't have to fight brave solders. Due to his own brush with death and the deaths of those he cares about, Fortune is quite paranoid when it comes to illness and plague; They are both honestly more frightening to him then any armed enemy that he can fight could ever be.

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 months ago. 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. [b]Bio:[/b] Fortune De Vigny was born to the De Vigny noble family; A lesser noble family in the eyes of the major players but a noble family none the less. Shortly after his birth, his father (Lord De Vigny, Knight of the Realm of Bretonnia) hunted down a band of bandits that had been plaguing the roads of his realm. Wiping the bandits out with his small band of trusted men while they were picking over the remains of their latest ambush, Lord De Vigny discovered a young baby that was barely older then his own boy who had been orphaned in the attack. Deciding that this was a sign of the Lady of the Lake, he took the child with the intention of raising him as Fortune's personal servant and bodyguard. Fortune and Andre grew up together, their relationship as master and servant clear to them and everyone who saw them but they were at least as close to friends as their respectful social standings would allow. While the both of them underwent different teachings and training for their respective roles in life, the two of them often got to spend time together when it came to horse riding and combat practice. While Fortune was always the better fighter (What with him being trained as a knight while Andre was being trained as a yeomen), Andre was good enough to at least put up a decent challenge to help him improve himself. Tragedy stuck the De Vigny family shortly before Fortune was meant to be introduced to noble society; A plague ran rampant through their lands and estate, laying low almost all in its path. A small amount of the servants fled, but most stayed and died from the illness alongside their Lord and Lady. Fortune himself caught the illness as well, Andre staying by his side despite the danger to take care of him during this dark time. He did not forsake his duty, even when he caught the illness himself he forced himself to solder on for the sake of his master. By what could have only been the divine blessing of the Lady of the Lake herself, Fortune managed to survive the illness and recover. His attempts to care for Andre however were not as effective; His loyal friend and servant died shortly after his own recovery. Once he was strong to don his armor and fight again, Fortune De Vigny took his horse and rode off as a Knight Errant, seeking to earn his place as a Knight of the Realm and claim the lands of his father for his own.[/hider] A character from the old Warhammer Fantasy setting, owned Games Workshop.
