Description: [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Arthur-Pyle_Sir_Gawaine_the_Son_of_Lot%2C_King_of_Orkney.JPG] (This picture is to be used predominantly as a vague guide- I'll alter a lot throughout my description.) Gawain is relatively youthful looking, though a few signs of age are prominent. He has blue eyes and a moderate build, being 6"2 in height. He is moderately well built, and seems to show some scars from fighting, though not as many as a normal man-of-arms. He retains a thin beard, and has from time to time, a good mustache that seems well developed and curled.. Name: [b]Sir Gawain Lottson[/b] Age: 25 Personality: One of the most courteous Knights alive in Arthur's court (later), Gawain is renowned for being a symbol of Chivalry, being honorable in battle and in his actions. At least, on the surface. While he offers help to fellow rookie Knights, and is as loyal as any steed to the King, he does have a habit of being a little light-headed and drunk from time to time, and a little violent when he falls out of line. But most of the time, he is an honorable man, and is a trustworthy Knight of the Round Table- being the man to have by your side when the rain decides to pour and friends are more than a valuable commodity in a situation, but are the difference between life and death. He is a little aloof, but none the less, knows a firm line between right and wrong, and will die for that belief- with his character one that is repeatedly tested and tried in some ways, to question sometimes his rightful morally yet misguided attempts to do what is right for his King and his servants. Backstory: Gawain was born to King Lot of Orkney, being a nephew of Arthur's and brother to Mordred and King Lot's other sons. He was quickly brought up to become a Knight, and along with his brother, Mordred, became a keen jouster and man-at-arms, being proficient in swordplay, whilst being young seeming to have a very good morality and showing Knightly traits from a young age. Though sidelined in favor of his brother as his brother seemed to be more capable as a fighter when younger and was far more influential, he still retained an influence of his own among a select group, and moved to England, staying away from his brother after a drunken brawl incited by Mordred that saw the two split apart and remain as enemies in both their view on the world and their actions. Gawain saw good, and wanted to be a better example, not seeking fame and power, but rather, simply the want to preserve Britain away from barbarian influences and stability- someone who would be the new King, and someone that perhaps, he was destined to follow in maintaining order and unifying Britain. Gawain is a particularly famous jouster, though he is more than capable in hand-to-hand combat and swordplay.
