Okay, yeah, I have an idea for two characters.
ShidenBlades' comment about mercenaries reminded me of a black knight-esque character I had in the past, though there may be a few things I should clear with the GM before really working on them. The second character kinda goes with the firat and if it falls through, I'd probably do something with centaurs, if they're a thing.

On that note, are races nailed down or open season? It's not for me, since 'centaur' is about as ambitious as I'd push for, but I figure it's worth clarifying.
