[quote=Brand]The only problem i'm seeing with your CS is the age. I'm having a hard time accepting a 13 or 14 year old girl is capable of rising to the rank of a knight, your character is too young for the accomplishments you've listed. Not to mention that a girl that young who relied on the sword in a fight would probably be demolished sheerly out of lack of muscle development (even if your shade is very knowledgeable in swordplay). You're welcomed to play a character that young if you think you could pull it off, as it would be an interesting perspective to have a little girl in the group, one with the mind of an adult and literally not scared of death (I see some interesting dialogue here), but a 14 year old girl with a longsword would be pretty useless in a fight.

If you want to go this route tune down the accomplishments and consider a different weapon (one more suitable to a person of smaller size). Otherwise make your character older (at the very least 18)

Ferros, by the way, doesn't really recognize the Knight class and isn't big on chivalry. You're more than welcome to say some people have adopted chivalry and knighthood akin to the western nations, but adopting chivalry will somewhat distance your character from your countrymen culturally.

Like I said, you're definitely taking some interesting angels with your character here, but the age and list of accomplishments you've given don't match.[/quote]

That's my bad then. I was under the assumption that Shades were supernaturally strong regardless of what they possessed, which is why I figured the size of the body itself didn't matter. To clarify one thing, however, she isn't 13 or 14. If the girl wouldn't have died from fever, she'd be around 20 or so, but the body itself doesn't age while possessed, so it stopped growing. I also misread the tab on Ferros as them being the only nation that cared about knighthood and chivalry any longer, so that's why I went with that route. Don't worry, though. I'll get it all fixed eventually.
