The Ragged Blades (Low Fantasy, Rated R)

Name: James Fair

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Personality: James is a person who, over long years of fighting alongside commoner and noble, respects merit above all, whether it is fighting prowess, stewardship of resources, knowledge of strategy and tactics, and of course, the knowledge on how to sheperd and build should the civil war finally end. Respectful of his commanding officer despite the latter's inferior social rank, James acts as a loyal enforcer and sub-commander, but who has come to expect not to be blindly ordered around, and instead given a rational reason for whatever operation has been planned. But because these reasons are given regularly, James trusts the company's commander and is willing to defend his reputation.

Equipment: Sword (stainless steel), Mace (stainless steel), Shield, Full Plate Armor, Horse, Full Plate Horse Armor.

Strengths: James is smart and intelligent enough to understand his superior's tactics and strategy, as well as the political and diplomatic disputes that lead to conflict. He is also good with melee weapons and mounted and unmounted combat, as well as the basics of leadership.

Weaknesses: James is not a spy or assassin; he is not good at sneaking around, and while he understands espionage and respects spies and the need to gather information, he prefers to leave such work to others.

Likes/Dislikes: James likes everything going according to plan, making money without too much atrocity, peace being brought to a place, at least temporarily. Oh, and whoring around with men (it's less of a stigma if you're the dominant and you're discreet), and women.

Dislikes are bandits, massacring those who cannot fight, rape, destruction of beautiful things.

History: James Fair was born as a second son of higher nobility in Alber, thus removing him from direct heirship of the family's domains. Though groomed early on for the Church, James' fighting prowess was such that it was agreed that turning cleric or monk would be a waste of his potential. So he was set to marry a heiress of a neighboring noble family, so as to seal an alliance, with an entire castle and two villages as a dowry. And with that, life was good and fairly uneventful...until the Alber Royal Family was murdered by unknown assailants. Then, the whole kingdom was launched into anarchy, and in the early stages of said anarchy, his family and his prospective in-laws found themselves on opposite sides of battle.

Granted, even that was not an obstacle to patching things up later and having the marriage anyway...if not for the fact that an outbreak of flu killed off the other family, including the heiress, in a few years. James, already fighting at the age of sixteen, was saddened at the loss of marriage prospects - the heiress was very beautiful - and so, with his family's blessing, tthe young knight decided to go mercenary because in this climate of civil war, it really was the best prospect for him. Taking provisions and a set of quality arms and armor, James went off to the nearest mercenary company, which just turned out to be the one ran by the 'group of friends' who banded together for mutual protection. And yes, he was skeptical of serving under a commoner...at first.

One decade later, however, James would warm up to his commander, and learn to respect the others in the company. Fighting beside said commander in many battles, James would learn that merit counted more than rank did, as well as the benefits of the peace he had taken for granted in his youth. As the war drew on without any sign of letting up, James began to take a harder line towards atrocities, just like his commander did, and grew more interested in 'restoring order', or fighting beside those lords who are less bad than the others. He also discovered the joys of other men as well as women, but that was discreet, in order to avoid predjudice and stigma.

Either way, James is a product of war that desires peace and rest at the end of it, and hopes that one day, his commander can bring them out of this hell.

WIP

Name:

Ailiyah Lakefire

Age:

32

Gender:

Female

Appearance:

Personality:

Ailiyah is a no bullshit kinda girl, straight forward and unafraid of the truth. She does like to embellish and decorate her speech with sarcasm around those she doesn't favor, but to the people she trusts, she is soft and kind and loving. Her hardened outside peels away and you see the caring mother she really is. She was once a sweeter person to just about anybody, but, well...civil war doesn't just change the political realm. It changes the people.

Equipment:

Strengths:

She's especially skilled with long swords and daggers, carrying multiple of both types of blades on her at anyone time. She's also skilled in archery, as she loves to hunt big game, which also benefits her tracking ability

Weaknesses:

She has a bad left knee, causing her to go to some trouble to conceal a slight limp. An experienced enemy might be able to spot it, especially after the battle has dragged on and she has multiple injuries. Ailiyah is also susceptible to her ego, causing her to become too cocky too quick in a fight. She lets the adrenaline go to her head and makes bad decisions, something she has suffered from before in the past (her bad knee). There's also her children, Jackal and Rhyne. Not many people know she even has the capacity to be a mother, let alone actually have kids of her own, but she does. They are her ultimate secret, her true motivators. She knows if the enemy finds out about them, it's a death sentence. But she keeps on fighting, because she knows it is her responsibility to carve a better world for them.

Likes/Dislikes:

+Her boys
+Big, fat swords, the ones almost too heavy to swing
+Hunting
+The old castle of the Alber's before the royal family was assassinated

-This goddamn war
-Needle knives and swords, silver little toothpicks meant to snap
-Public executions
-Unnecessary civilian carnage

History:

Ailiyah originally came from a poor immigrant family; her father was her merchant and her mother a seamstress, both working hard to raise their children. Ailiyah was raised like any common girl, learned how to kick, bite, and punch, but also how to act in front of noblemen. A lower-class nobleman fell in love with her blunt attitude and asked for her hand in marriage. She accepted, not knowing what would come of the union. She grew to love her new husband, but he soon lost what little money he had by the time Ailiyah was pregnant with her first child. The lower noblemen were all losing money to taxes; the Albers were salvaging what little fortune they had at the time. By the time Jackal was 3, Ailiyah found out she was pregnant again, right before the murder of the royal family. Her husband was killed fighting for one of the illegitimate heirs to the thrown as Rhyne was born. Tired of these wars between petty false kings, she joined with a group of fellow commoners and learned more about armed combat, including hunting. She worked her way up the ranks and is here now.

@Vulkan@Salrynn, what about just written nudity?

@Letter Bee

The Ragged Blades (Low Fantasy, Rated R)

Verdict on sexual content? I prefer that it be taken to PMs if absolutely neccessry, I don't pArticularly enjoy reading smutty stuff at all. And themes like rape and graphic torture? Yay or may, regardless of subtlety?

@tex

If there is too much going on, i'd take it to pms. Hugging and kissing is fine, but thats probably about it on that.

The Ragged Blades (Interest Check)

I'm stuck between playing a reformed psychopath who's incapable of developing relationships, and a really big stupid guy who likes to smash things until they don't exist anymore.

@tex

Why not both...? ;)
