I'll be a little longer on getting that character sheet in. I just got the worst news I've heard in my 20 years of life.

Can't figure out how to set my timezone. This is getting frustrating.

Looks like shit's about to get real.
You called yourself Gunther in the middle there. :P
Well, here's hoping we're not the last posts of the night.
EDIT: Darn it.

Heh, no problem. I'm glad we're back at this after that lull. It's a nice break from trying to figure out how to remove similarities another character I'm working on has to somebody else's, that I can't see.
Posted. Forgot to tag. Also, you left Flagg out of your tags, Seuss.

"We can start the war right here, or we can start the war on a ground of our choosing, but we need to start it." Varrick was already drawing his sword when Masef pointed out the new arrivals. The truth was, the place was probably already surrounded. Not even Brand's brood was going to make it out of there without shedding blood. The young lord Tuldar had seen the village's guardsmen on his way in, and he knew their sort. Thieves and brigands, after a quick coin. He had killed plenty. They would break.
Varrick heard a rasp of metal on metal emanating from the door. Someone was trying to force the lock. He looked his brother in the eye. "The war's already started, Masef." Varrick shrugged out of his cloak and turned to the door. "So let's get to fighting it!"
Varrick kicked the door open, sending the man on the other side reeling. He took the chance to stab him in the gut before stepping back to the side of the doorframe. He could've charged out into the black of the night, but the guardsmen were cowards. They probably had crossbows trained on every exit. The bastards were going to have to come to them.

Some day, we will begin. I can feel it.
I'm generally a humanity fuck yeah kind of player, so the orc thing doesn't really appeal to me. I can emphasize the facets I pointed out in my edit of the above post, and see about doing some other stuff. I don't see the similarities that much beyond very broad generalizations (Kind of like how the Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings could be called the same story if you just hit the major bullets). I think in writing, the differences will be even more pronounced.
You're right. I used the wrong word when describing his fighting. The direction I was trying to take that was basically to say that his reflexes aren't particularly fast and he knows that, so he tries to take advantage of opponents' own openings rather than making his own. Similarly with the strategy, I was trying to convey that that was what he cared the most about, not to say that he was a genius with regards to it.
He's older than Kane, and more set in his ways. He doesn't care about changing the kingdom, he cares about doing right by the people under him. Kane might have talent and training, but Royce has experience. In demeanor and action, he's more reminiscent of a seasoned sergeant than a noble knight. In court and among the royalty, he's awkward not because of an idealistic desire to fix the place, but because nothing about him fits with the culture of the upper crust of society. He's scarred, he's huge, he's angry looking, he's got a limp and he's missing fingers. His physique wouldn't be similar to Kane's simply because they trained in the same place more than fifteen years ago, and his skills and fighting style wouldn't be the same because that's never the case.
Look, I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm just saying that I can emphasize the differences or make a different character. I'd prefer to keep my character, as I think writing him could be quite a bit of fun and the way I'm picturing him is quite a bit different from how I picture what I read of Kane. If that's a non-starter, I'll just get the creative juices flowing some other time and make someone different. Probably that scheming nobleman I was talking about.
